took it down from the shelf and placed
it on the counter. While I was tax
ing out my money to pay for IT the
lamp accidentally fell and was broken,
neither of us being at fault. Whose
loss is it? o. Z. j., Chicago.
Answer: The storekeeper. The
ordinary rule if the contract is a cash
transaction payment OF the price is a
condition precedent to the transfer OF
possession and title. The promise to
deliver, involved in an agreement OF
sale and the promise to pay the pur
chase money are mutually dependent.
Neither party is bound to perform
without contemporancous performance
by the other Payment of the price IS
the condition on which alone the pur-
chaser can require the seller to COM
pletc the sale by delivery OF the
property.

of Florida, where he received his le-
gal education and for the time spent

anything but a professional office

WRITER VISITOR HAS
THRILLING SUCCESS
IN ALLIGATOR HUNT

The Telegram has received the fol-
lowing account of the killing of an
alligator by one Of Lakeland's winter
visitors. He have heard before of
alligators being killed, of course, but
we believe that few hunters have had
the experience of shooting one in a
head-on encounter, and the following
account will be read with interest:
Frank Eakins. of Portsmouth, O.,
a tourist experiencing his first Florida
winter, satisfied a longing desire to
take home the skin of a giant alliga-
tor when he killed ten-footer in
Stob lake, one day this week.
Like many first-year visitors, he
had the impression that alligators
were numerous and ferocious and to
protect himself he brought his trusty
old rife which had killed bear in the
Rockies, goats in the Cascades and
moose and elk in the wilds of Canada.
But through all this winter he had
failed to get sight of a wild gator
with the exception of a two-foot one
which he captured alive near Lake
