Talk and Red Tape. WESTERN man has evaded jury duty by pleading that he falls asleep while listening to the dry and sonorous outgivings of lawyers. ‘‘This sort of talk,’’ says he, ‘‘seems to give me the sleeping sickness." Here may be a tip to many city men who have been unable to escape jury duty. The average judge discounts the excuses usually made by men who are summoned to sit on cases and who detest this sort of service, even where their business would permit them to listen to lawyers in the never-changing methods of coddling and browbeating witnesses. But, of course, a judge would become suspicious if one citizen after another should plead somnolency, and it is only the occasional victim—like the Western man—that could make this very clever excuse serve his purpose. Really, it is a wonder that more per- sons do not permanently get the sleep- ing sickness in court. This age boasts its advancement in all things, and it may have advanced in all things but one.

It is still, as it always has been, a synonym for delay, for evasion of direct procedure, and for the promotion of the quarrels of men. This is so largely because lawyers make the laws and see to it that sim- plicity shall never enter into the law's Some day some person not a er will ‘‘start something”’ that will eventually bring legal procedure up to date. And then a multitude of lawyers will seek the fields of real industry, and the rest of the world will be happier— and richer. Matter over Mind. Little Florence had a very bad tooth- ache and was crying softly to herself. Her aunt, who was a believer of Chris- tian Science, went over to the little girl and said, “If you had any faith, dear, you would have no toothache.’’ Florence continued to sob, but be- tween sobs she replied, “Well, Aunt Grace, if you had my toothache, you wouldn’t have any faith.""

Supreme Court, handed down by Mr. Justice Hughes on May 29th, 1911, no one but the Carthusian Monks (Peres Chartreux) is entitled to use the word CHARTREUSE as the name or designation of a Liqueur, so their victory in the suit against the Cusenier Company, representing M.
