That is what Judge John D. Humph-
ries, of the Fulton superior court, rul

self-confessed bootlegger.
The judge ruled that liquor has no
legal status, and cannot be protected
by law, consequently one cannot be
arrested for stealing it. He said that
the owner of liquor might prosecute
as a violation of the prohibition law
but not for stealing.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLATE
How the Spirit of Giving Was Mani
tested in the Churches Hun
dred Years Ago.

Fresh-laid eggs are frequently de-
posted on The contribution plate in
some of the backwoods Episcopal
churches of the South Which goes
to show that the spirit of giving hasn't
changed so very much in the hundred
years or so of the Church Missionary
society. The first report of the So
ciety. dated May 80, 1923, was dug up
the other day, and while it shows no
contribution of eggs, a score of other
articles of merchandise seem to have
found Cheir way to the plate from the
people who gave according to their
means" This report, for instance,
shows that back In 1921 David Sneth-
an gave a basket of groceries for the
support of the missionaries; Stephen
North contributed medicine chest;
William RaWland, a ,cross-cut saw;
Joe and John Needles, two sleeves; S.
Massey, a coffee mill. John and Z.

empty gift-a safe. John Burson
came along with a tub, whether bath
or wash is not stated. G. Buckley is

Of tobacco, which encourages the hope
that some good missionary of the
church in his lonely station afar off
enjoyed a comfortable smoke, says the

Episcopal church.

Bust Shows Two Natures.

The United Service club is one of
Lond0n'S famous clubs in Pail Mall
for officers of the twin British serv-
ices, the navy and the army. Busts
Of naval and military heroes adorn the
hall. The duke of Wellington with
his stately and aristocratic look gazes
down on members as they pass
through the main entrance. Honesty.
pride and dignity are written there.
But a head of Lord Nelson at the
side is more interesting. Each side
of the face is modelled differently. so
that the impression of a man of the
world is given as you look at the por-
trait from the left, and of dreamer
as you look at it from the right. In
the one case the modelling is firm, in
the other soft. Even the eyes, for both
are shown, are different. The bust is
a replica by the famous English artist,
Flaxman, the original of which is in
possession of the family-Christian
Science Monitor.

HOW THE K0LLUSKS TRAVEL
Attach Themselves to Water Fowl and
Are Thus Transported for Con-
siderable Distances.

One of the problems that continually
confrOnts the naturalist is to account
for the distribution of identical forms
OF life among widely separated, locall-
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them in
advance Of their actual detection.
Some interesting facts have been
brought out concerning the dispersion
of fresh-water mollusks, accounting
for their appearance in remote and
isolated ponds. 1t appears that water
fowl play an important part in this
work Ducks have been known to
carry mussels attached to their feet
hundred miles or more. Bivalve mol
lusks not infrequently cling to the
toes of wading birds, and are thus
transported for considerable distances.
Even aquatic insects have been known
to carry small fresh-water molluSks
attached to their legs.
In such manner does Nature compel
the various inhabitants of the earth to
assist one another whether they will or
not.

Ancient English Food Laws.

There were pure food laws in Eng
land as long ago as the year 1881,
and those who violated them received
punishment to fit the crime.
The Guildhau librarian has been ex-
plOring an old box Of parchments de-
posted long ago with the corporation
by the POulters company.
Habits are lOng-lived in the city
Poultry has been sold since the mid
die of the Fourteenth century at Lead
entail, where the city men today buy
a bird to take home in the evening.
But nowadays a goose costs more
than siXpence. On the other hand, a
poulterer who unluckily sells bad pig
cons has got to stand in the pillory
while the pigeons are burned under
his nose.
This happened in 1881 to a "poul-
ter" who sold 16 pigeons Gin contempt
of the city and deceit of the people
for that the same were putrid and an
abominatiOn to mankind. Lincoln

HORSE A PRACTICAL JOKER
South American Physician Tells of
Quadruped With WeII-DeveIoped
Sense of Humor.

Have horses sense of humOr? A
South American doctor has one which
is said to be fond of a practical joke.
Visiting a farmhouse, the doctor
tied the animal to a post near which
hung rope attached to a large bell,
used as a dinner signal for the work
men. Then he went In to see his pa
tient
A few minutes later the bell rang
violently. The doctor looked out, but
could see nothing. Again the bell
rang. At the third ring the doctor
concealed himself behind a tree in
the yard, and kept watch on the bell
rope.
Then, to his establishment he saw
his horse lift up his head, seize the
rope between it's teeth, and give it
violent pull. After that the doctor
sprang out and faced the animal,
which put on look of complete inno-
cence.
POking his nose into a basket in
which a cat lay curled up, the same
horse got a nasty scratch from pussy
for his pains. The animal, taking
careful aim, kicked the cat and basket
sky-high and then trotted off with a
low chuckle of glee.-Brooklyn Eagle.

TOOK REINDEER TO ENGLAND
Attempt 20 Colonize the Animal Was
Not Success-Marked lnteIIi-
gence Shown by Them.

A hundred years ago it was thought
that the mountain forests of Great
Britain might be colonized by reindeer
from Lapland. and an account was
given in 1921 in an issue of the OBJ
server, London, of the extraordinary
sagacity displayed by them when a
number were brought to England at
the inStigatiOn of an eminent natural
list, Mr.. Bullock. The herd was &C.
companied by Laplander, to whom
the animals were attached and to
whose wishes they were usually Obedi
ent. All went well till they arrived
at the place of embarkation, when the
herdsman invited the deer to follow
him to the boat. When the leader of
the herd put his foot upon the float
leading to the vessel he started back
in alarm. It was the first unsteady
ground he had ever trod. Fresh invi-
tations to follow the herdsman and
fresh Investigations followed the
whole herd looking on and watching.
the proceedings, placing entire conf
dence in the captain, not attempting
to move till he gave them signal that
all was we'll. After a time he seemed
to be treasured and in a majestic
manner entered the vessel, where he
trOd upon every plank and carefully
examined everything. When he had
satisfied himself that it was perfectly
safe, he uttered kind of snort, when
the hitherto passive herd bounded into
the boat and in three minutes all had
embarked. The account continues
that the vessel was overloaded and
the intelligent beast indicated this to
his followers. "Were we not assured
of the fact, we could hardly credit it"
the reporter continues. "As he had
intimated other things, he also init
mated this to his followers. No soon
err was this done than the individual
deer he appealed to leaped into an
other boat
The experiment did not prove sue
cess, but the marked Intelligence of
the reindeer made a deep impression
upon the PUBLIC.

Seeks ORIGIN of Dancing.

Can it be, in any sense, possible to
conjecture that the origin of dancing
came from the desire to escape from
ones self, into an imaginary world?
In that case, it might also have
been a form of madness, as one finds
it in the Dionysian intoxication at the
Attic festivals, when wine and the
deities, the satyrs and the maenads,
were closely linked togther, writes
Arthur SymOns in the Forum
Certainly, even now, one of the best
means in escaping from ones self is
dancing; Under fixed conditions, the
only one. The question is: Can one
ever escape from ones self?
There are so many means. There
is, for instance, rapture in the dance
which intoxicates every sense to a
point of human infnity; that is, while
one is dancing. After, comes the re-
coil. No rapture can ever be meas
ured; while one endures it, it has no
limits But, alas! for ones finite ma
ture, nothing lasts.

American Democracy.

Whoever in America desires to bet
ter his fellowmen must act by in
fiuencing their intellect. If he wishes
to see no idle man and no poor man
in the land he must take care that
there shall be no ignorant man. Ignor-
ance is the mother. of superstition
and misery. Men are better in pro-
portion as they are wiser. In what
ever direction we look we see the inn
provement. The physical man is more
powerful, the intellectual man is more
perfect, the moral man more pure.
The morality of a nation is the ag-
gregate of the morality of the indi-
7iduals. A lazy man is necessarily bad
man. an idle is necessarily demon
allied population.-Joh William
Draper.

remotest north are the healthiest peo-
pie you can find anywhere. Contact

brought deterioration and demoraliza-

been bad, and may be worse; it may
