 William Mueller. more or less in intimate contact with the defendant for eight years, was named as the first of today's witnesses. Mueller i5 the caretaler at Remus' s75,0 mansion on Price Hill here. He pre- viously was called as a witness for the prosecution.

 Remus himself might reach the witness stand before the end of the week, said Charles II. Elston, CO., counsel with Remus, who Is apply to his defense.
 New court hours were in order to- day. Instead of two sessions, morn ing and afternoon, of two and one halt hours each. Judge Chester K. Shook said he would sit from 9 a. m. 10 1 p. nl., in continuous session, only.

at the bank was closed out Oct. c2. Detective Sergeant Ellinger testified that he investigated the complaint of the Portor X Dyson Co. and Drachenberg told him he had two accounts in the bank, one of which had been attached and the other of which was good"
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked that Drachenberg be bound over to the superior court. The charge was serious and there was no reason why the local court should take jurisdic- ton, Mir. Woods said. He classified Drachenberg as "a crook and At torney MilkoWitz reminded him that he could be sued" for making such statements. The defense counsel said that Drachenberg frequently carried $l,000 balance in the bank as he was in the manufacturing busi- nes. on Whiting street. and he was not the type of man who gives out bad checks promiscuously. He was not the best business man in the city by any means, the attorney said. and he should not have carried two accounts in the same bank, never theless he is not a criminal and his explanation of this case is deserving of consideration.
 Drachenberg was fined and sen fenced to jail In Bristol police court Saturday for passing worthless checks in payment of wedding pas try. He took an appeal to superior court in $500 bonds.
 Immediately after police court to- day he was rearrested for the Bris- tol police on q charge of having is- sued a worthless check for s9.55 to Peters & Sons, Bristol garage men.

MdD Buyer Of "More or Less"
Quantity Later Complain
Of DefciencyP"
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

The auctioneer of the fruit com
pany announced to the gathered bid
ders that he would next offer for sale
carload of grapes. He also made
the announcement that the goods
were not warranted and that the car
contained ], 1,050 boxes of grapes, more
or less.
John Bell, a fruit dealer. deter
mined to buy, assumed the lead and
became the successful bidder. When
he unpacked the car Bell discovered
that 100 boxes were full of saWdust
and sweepings. Unwilling to bear the
loss, Bell made an immediate demand
upon the fruit auction company to
reimburse him for the 100 boxes. The
company declined to meet his request,
because it had been expressly an
nounced that the goods were not war
ranted and the quantity was said to
be more or less
Bell brought suit and recovered a
verdict for the value Of the 100 boxes,
the court saying:
Although the terms of the sale in
dicated that the goods were not war
ranted and that the quantity was
doubtful, nevertheless, an auction
company cannot take advantage of
such customary announcements to re-
lieve themselves from liability in
cases where customers find them
selves deceived as to the commodity
offered for sale. There Is a failure Of
consideration, the purchaser having
paid a price for something he did not
receive"

Farmer Browns Boy Curious
II curiosity should end.
Pray what TO life would color lend:

Farmer Browns Boy had started
for the Old Pasture to pick blueber-
ries. He always likes TO 90 picking
blueberries. You see. the blueberries
in the Old Pasture grow on high
bushes. Some blueberries grow on
very low bushes, so that one must
stoop TO pick them. Some grow on
high bushes, so that you have TO reach
up for them. 1t is the high-bush kind
that grow in the Old Pasture.
Now, Farmer Browns Boy likes TO
go berrying, because he is always sure
to see interesting things when he is
in the Old Pasture. You know. a
great many people are at home in the
Old Pasture, and often when he Is
picking berries Farmer Browns Boy
has an opportunity to watch them.
So this is one reason he likes to go
picking berries.
This morning as he approached the
Old Pasture he discovered high up in
the blue, blue sky OF Mistah BuzZard
seeming to stay in one place, just as
if he were pinned there. He is
watching something right down be
low" thought Farmer Browns Boy.
81 wonder what it can be. Hello.
Blacky the Grow and Sammy Jay are
making great fuss about something
They sound excited. They do SO; they
sound excited. I'll have to see what
is going on up here.
So Farmer Browns Boy began to
move quickly, but silently. Long ago
be learned the need of silence. So he
has learned how to walk without max
ing noise. Seldom will you hear
twig snap under his feet. Seldom will
you hear the leaves rustic. So now
as he hurried he was taking the great
est care to make no noise.
Once in a while he would stop to
look up to see if or Mistah Buzzard
was still in the same place up in the
blue, blue sky. He was. So Farmer

lively that morning. but still they
were on hand. playing with the flow

came from the West. SO Farmer
Browns Boy worked down until he
was just east of the place where all
that fuss was going on. In this way
there would be no chance for one of
the wandering Merry Little Breezes to
carry his scent over to that place
You see. most of the little folk in fur

noses more than they do on their ears

Frequently glance at that one vi

scarcely spend her time looking over

she would be in a position to judge

That rule applies equally to vacuum

never be worth more than its power
plant indicates.
When buying watch one may be
attracted by the case, and won by

provide that, a host Of other good

In much the same way one tries on a
hat If it does not fit, its becoming
ness or attractiveness will not re-

The point that is made here is that
when shopping one should always
put this question TO ones self: What
one point is there that must be salts
fled before going further? Upon this
initial test depends ones further ex-
animation and prospective purchase.
The point may be an obvious one,
and yet one that may be forgotten as
one loses herself among others.
