ford, the earl was not securely hooked.
He really was most estimable
widOwer well advanced in years and
a competent diplomat-only he was
trif1e weak in the upper story when
1t came to a pretty woman. For this
reason his three mature spinster
daughters took turns in standing
guard over the old gentleman lest he
should present them with an unde-
sirable stepmother. When the earl
was ordered to America it was the
Lady Anastasla's turn for duty. But
the Lady Anastasia was laid up with
the grip, and the Ladies' Murlel and
perating in Algiers. As soon as the
Lady Anastasia was sufficiently recov-
ered-in fact before her physician ap.
proved-she took ship in pursuit OF
her papa. But her recovery and her
voyage had consumed much time and
when she arrived in New York she
found her forebodings were In danger
of being realized.
However, her fathers diplomatic
business was ended and he had made
his congo at Washington. So Anasta-
sla promptly placed him under arrest
and ordered him home She was pro-

Soon after. one night. at a crowded
social function, Mrs. Crawford came
up behind two ladies seated and with
their heads together. She heard her
own name mentioned and stopped
short, not ashamed to "listen in"

probably the Compston family did not

That was all Mrs Crawford stayed
to hear, 1t was enough. For two
days she was so cross there was hard

Then she said suddenly to her hus-

Two Sides Of Body Don't Match.

The human body Ii not built
symmetrlcally. One-half Of the face ia
not exactly like the other half If II
line Is drawn separating the two
halves Of the physique, well-marked
differences may be noticed between
them. The sculptors OF Classic times
recognized this anomaly, and repre-
scented II In their statues.
Venus Of Milo, for example, has an
asymmetrical face, that IL, one In which
proportions are not consistent. Most
persons have heavier bones on the
right side than the left. The two sides
OF the face vary. The eye sockets In
both face and skull are Of different
size. The face usually seems to he
showed over toward the right side.
The ears are usually OF different size
and differently modelled. The shout
ders are not OF the same height. and
are removed varying distances from
an imaginary dividing line drawn
through the center Of the body.

THE LAWS GOVERNING PA
ROLE (ORAL), WRITTEN
AGREEMENTS OR UNWRTT-
TEN CONTRACTS, FOLLOWS:

Assume that The Broad AK has
substantially stated the facts relative
TO the case of Taylor against Cermak
tried before Judge Caverly while he
was a Judge of the Municipal Court.
THE question to be determined was
whether there was a valid contract.
The facts and circumstances clearly
indicate there was such a contract.
The accurate political write-up and
the cut of Mr.. Cermak delivered to
Mr.. Taylor in themselves make a
strong prima facie case. Advertising
is a merchantable commodity like
sugar or corn. Editors and publish
ers do not give that commodity away
any more than the merchant gives
sugar away. Add to this prima facie
case the conversations between Mr..
Taylor and Mr.. Cermak, as well as
Mr.. Cermak's secretary, together with
the exhibit of the printed advertise
ment, and IT is hard to understand
how the facts could be determined
other than as indicated above.
There is no law or, legal author
lty that requires an advertisement
contract to be in writing. 1t might
be the better policy for a publisher
to pursue that course, but whether
IN writing, or by parole agreement,
the courts will enforce such a con-
tract once the facts are so determined.
The above is so elemental that the
courts seldom have to pass upon the
proposition.

deal for all classes of his fellow citi-
zens.
For years he has been a steadfast
friend of the Colored race. As a sue
cessful contractor, he has for years
employed all the time eight or ten
Colored men, paying them the union
scale of wages.
The first part of the present winter
Mr.. Ryan selected Miss Gertrude
James as an Investigator in the Office
OF the County Agent. 1t is the first
time that a young Colored lady has
been chosen to serve in that capacity.
Therefore, the Colored men and
women IN this city and county should
assert their political independence on
Tuesday, April II, and assist to re-
nominate Hon. Daniel Ryan for Presi-
dent of the Board of County Commits

Judge Fry and had never spoken one
word to him.
When the case was called Judge
Fry wanted to know if both sides
were ready for trial, and Mr.. Farmer
and Mr.. Stanton responded, Eyes,
your honor" Then Mr.. Farmer re-
quested us to take the witness stand.
Then we produced a copy of The
Broad AK dated Saturday, February
20, 1914, which contained the adver-
tisement in question and we exhibited
the double-column cut of Alderman
Swift which was run in the paper at
the same time along with the adver-
tisement. Judge Fry read the reading
matter over very carefully, then he
fastened his sharp, keen eyes upon
us, and in slow, firm voice he said,
What are your advertising rates, Mr..
Taylor" We promptly replied, Eff
teen cents per line for straight read
ing matter and twenty-five and forty
cents per line for display advertise
ments."
Then he wanted to know what rate
had we charged Alderman Swift and
we responded the lowest rate-hfteen
cents agate-line measurement. After
we had finished teStifying Judge Fry
asked Mr.. Stanton if he wished to
make an argument, and Mr.. Stanton
informed his honor that twenty-five
dollars was too much money to pay
for an advertisement in The Broad
Ak, as 1t was only read by very few
colored people residing in the 3Oth
Ward.
Then Judge Fry reflected for few
Strengthened up in his chair

days from that time we had the TWEEN

most honorable and upright Judges
