The Hee recently sent a reporter here to investigate the operations of the prohibi tory law, and in his accouts he reported Page's place as being a hole in the wall where liquor wus soll. This is the basis of the suit. Page's place was searched once by the constables and nothing found. It is not believed here that he ever kept liquor for sale on his premises.

Curious names are always interesting to the general public, and there are probably few persons who would not throw a second glance from a Iiroadwuy car as they passed tho dry goods houso of Mr. Jxioues, or tho barber shop of Mr. Yf. The English speaking public have become more or less accustomed to the odd appearance of German proper names, but there are few persons comparatively who appreciate what peculiar meaning is hidden behind the average jumble or consonants and vowels which forms the Teuton name. One cannot imagine the possibility that tho English transla tions of some German names could bo used for tho same purpose among an Anglo-Saxon people without at least causing a howl either of indigna tion or of hilarity. In New York's di rectory, for example, there are such names beginning with "F" alone, as Feigcnblatt, meaning "fig leaf;" Fnhne stock, Hagstaff;" Faul, "lazy" or "rot ten;" Faust, "list;" Fcuchtwange. "moist check;" Fleischhacker, "meat chopper," and Frauenheim, "homo for women." And when theso facts aro considered there arises tit once the conviction that Smith, Brown and tho rest of them should feel grateful that they nre not approached every day aind addressed: "JIow aro vou, Mr. Homo tor Women?" etc. Jsew York Tribune.

Two young men ran from across the street and driigget tlie pfd. lady from tho track just in time to save her life. Well, you would have thought that they had done her nn irreparable Injury. She stormed and raised u row, and all the .thanks the young men got for risking their lives was a torrent of abuse."
