Long, charged with eight offenses
against the state including general
incompetency. held the possibility OF

the close of the first day. counsel
on both sides were prepared for r.
vote on demurrer number one. but
objection from a senator forced G
recess. The demurrer claimed the
legislature had acted without auth

ard bringing him to trial.
Demurrer number two set forth
that only the first of the eight
charges could be legally held against
the governor as the house had acted
on the other seven after expiration
of the time limit of the e~xtraordin-
airy session of the legislature.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Letter From Creditor To
Debtors Husband A PriUi-
legged Communication?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

In an effort to collect the sum Of
$4,000 from Mrs. Mary Mullen. loaned
to her before her marriage, Robert Hood
wrote to Mrs. Mullen's husband series
of three letters, the substance OF which
was as follows:
That Mrs. Mullen had obtained the
money from him by false pretenses;
that she had been guilty of dishonor-
able conduct, deception, ingratitude,
falSehood, and dishonesty toward him;
that she had violent, fitful, obstinate
and ugly temper, and that she was par
TALLY insane, an adventures and
Swindler.
The result of the letters was that
Mrs. Mullens husband withdrew his
confidence from her, alienated his af-
fections from her and finally separated
from her and refused to live with her.
Mrs. Mullen then sued Hood asking
$4,000 damages for the loss OF her
domestic peace and happiness.
Hoods defense to the suit was that
the letters to Mrs. Mullen's husband
were privileged. he having the right. as
a creditor to inform him OF his wife's
obligation.
The jury returned verdict for $780,
900 for Mrs. Mullen, after receiving
the following instruction from the
court:
THE defendant owed no duty. social,
moral or legal, to the husband to inform
him of the bad conduct of his wife be-
fore her marriage, and the husband was
under no obligation to pay the debts Of
his wife contracted before her marriage"

The living room in the country cot
tage may have all sorts of surprises
in the way of construction; for in this
type of house we feel free to deviate
from the more severe rules OF correct
architecture.
The window, for example, as shown
in the Illustration may be apparently
out of proportion-for who likes a
long. high window-but so cleverly
has it been used in combination with
built-in settle that 1t seems to have
been constructed for this purpose
alone.
The top of the settle back fits be-
meath generous-sized window sill,
which might be used for plants or
books. or both, and the seat is hinged
so that the space beneath may be
used for storage.
One of the most attractive uses of a
window and settle so constructed is to
make 1t an important part of the din
ing portion of the living room. In
front of the settle may be placed a
table Of the same length, at each end
OF the table Windsor or ladder back

chairs to match those at the ends.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

January II, 1861.-A plan has been
matured here within the last few days
by many leading men of the border
States which, it is hoped. may work
benefcially in the present national
crisis. The plan is embodied in a series
of resolutions proposing:
/. That there must be some definite
and conclusive settlement Of the slavery
question between the two sections of the
country, or a separation isinevtiable.
q That the Crittenden compromise,
with certain amendments, be adopted
as basis for fair and honorable adj
justment, and the least Virginia feels
she could take as settlement.
3. The appointment of a commits
sioner to each of the States in the
Union. in accordance with the sugges-
ton Of Virginia, and inviting response
to this measure of Cancellation.
4. A strong appeal to the Federal
Government to stay its hand and avoid
acts. which may lead to collision
pending the mediation efforts Of Viz
GINA.
S. An appeal to the seeding States
to preserve the existing status and also
to abstain from all acts which may
precipitate a collision.
This set of resolutions is now before
the Virginia Legislature. It is de-
signed, If Virginia approves, for adop-
ton verbatim by North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Missouri. and
that all of those States shall unite with
Virginia in making the proposed repre-
sensations to all of the other States.
1t has for some time past been evil
dent that, although congressional vote
asking the people of the several States
to consider a remedy for the difficulty
is by no means impossible, yet the terms
upon which the people of the States
may come to final settlement must
have as their basis some proposition
previously agreed upon by all the slave
holding border States. It Is those States
whose interests are mainly involved in
the disabilities concerning slavery I'M
der which the South rests at this time.
1t Is believed by many prominent men
in Washington that such a plan to
avert the approaching national crisis,
coming from the Slave-holding border
States, will receive careful and friendly
consideration by the people of the free
States

call my attention to the splendid work
his plows were doing.
Living near the dangerous iron re-
sounding around and beneath me,
felt iron injected into my blood. It did
me more good than ever could drugs
from any shop or doctor. The uproar
became the breath of life to me. The
hammers on the anvil were music 10
my ears. In my room. where the snort
ing sound of the bellows was a cheerful
accompaniment, recovered my poor
lost head
Took, took, took" it went, sounding
like the merry pendulum that regulated
my hours of labor.
At the climax Of the task. when the
blacksmith became angry when heard
the red-hot iron cracking beneath the
bounds of the frantic hammers, felt
the heated blood of a giant flowing in
my wrists. I would have liked TO
flatten the world with a stroke of my
pen. Then, as the blacksmith's shop
sank into quiet. so did everything inside
my skull become quiet, too. I went
down. and when saw that vanquished
metal still smoking. 1 felt ashamed of
my own seemingly puny work.
How superbly the blacksmith looked
on some Sultry afternoons. He stood
stripped to the waist. his muscles strain
ed and salient, like some grand figure
carved by Michelangelo Strengthening
himself in mighty effort. Looking at
him, I diScerned that modern sculp-
tural line which our artists laboriously
seek among the ruins Of ancient Greece.
To me the blacksmith seemed hero
made greater by labor. He was the
untiring child Of this century. forever
beating the implement of our analysis
on the anvil. He was fashioning the
society Of the near future out Of iron
and by iron. He toyed with his ham,
mers. In merry mood, he would take
up the young lady" and keep on
humping. He then produced thunder
at home amid the rosy glare Of his
furnace 1 fancied I could hear the
sigh of the people at their task.
There, in that blacksmith's shop,
among the plowshares, cured myself
forever Of the evils Of idleness and
doubt.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday. January IS.

Benefic aspects will dominate to-
morrow, according to aStrology, which
reads in the horoscope much prosperity
for the United States.
The early morning Is time for con-
structive work of every sort. Business
should be pushed with confidence. .
Women should make the most OF
every hour, for in the home and Office
alike they will find everything working
out advantageously, If they use good
Judgment.
This should be a most suspicious day
for shopping or for preparing for the
entertainment of friends.
American hospitality is to gain added
fame this season, which is to be dis
tinguished by remarkable entertain
ments.
Visitors from South America as we'll
as Europe will be received In Washing
ton, where one will cause sensation
the seers foretell
The day should favor all who use
their best energies. 1t is lucky for
those who hope to succeed by work. but
unlucky for all who hope to advance
through special privilege.
This is not an suspicious planetary
government for those who desire po-
litical appointments of even we'll paid
employment.
Both men and women who have
power over human destiny as employers
or capitalists may be difficult to meet
and critical when their interest is
desired
The evening Is read as favorable for
conferences or discussions at which i'm
portant questions are decided
Education is subject to the most
stimulating rule of the stars and great
benefactions for schools and univer-
stiles are foretold for 1929
The new year is to bring to the
world strange experiences and to intro
duce to the nations of the earth new
miracles, astrologers predict.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of much good fortune In
the coming months. Money affairs
should be most satisfactory and a great
experience in life Is foretold.
Children born on that day probably
will be most fortunate in material
things. Many bankers are born under
this sign. Happy marriage Is indi-
Gated.
