Two years ago when our Mr.

hia repeating his success in
another direction.
To accomplish this, Mr. Hlf

to take part in the great au
tomobile speed race on De
oration day. He was to run
the opposite way of the
track, and thus secure the
honor of not only making bet

inv them.

doped his gasoline, and before
he could secure a new supply,

he sought, but not of our confidence.

Dumb Things la Court
The dumb animal has often been tried
and executed with the proper legal for
malities, even in England and as late as
the nineteenth century. In this enlight
ened land a cock has been tried, found
guilty and bumd at ths stake for ths
crlms of laying an sgg.
A correspondent reminds us of Chas-
senee, the eminent Trench jurist, who de
fended certain rats accused of destroying
a barley crop snd obtained a postponement
on ths ground that so many defendants
could not be reached by a single summons.
