We make it a point to carry the best known arti¬
cles in our line.
One of our leaders is JAP-A-LAC, the famous floor
finish and all-round household rejuveuator.
It brightens and renews everything it touches.
Natural JAP-A-LAC is the best thing for floors, interior
woodwork, and any woodwork requiring varnish finish.
Colored JAP-A-LAC (twelve colors) is for use on chairs,
tables, floors, picture frames, iron beds, furniture,
woodwork and fremt diors. The Dead Black is just the
thing for picture frames, fireplaces, andirons, gas fix¬
tures, plate-racks—gives a genuine “Flemish” finish.
We want you to try .JAP- A-LAC—a quart can costs
75 cents, and will work wonders in your home.
And we want you to bear in mini when you need
anything else in our line. You will find us ready to
satisfy all your needs—at prices generally lower than
elsewhere.

The delicacies of their tables, such

‘ 6 1 h'e 'bt Lading citizens of
the “leaning community” is Ben
Hartev. Lie is an extremely tall
matt, with a curved spine, and gen¬
erally wears a clay stain on the end
of his nose. He has been known
to go into the woods, tree a coon
and lean against the tree until the
disgusted coon came down. He
was a frequent visitor to Mulberry
station, on the T. & D. railway,
and always leaned against the
northeast corner. One day recent¬
ly while he was leaning there the
railway authorities moved the
house and Bei fell down. He
brought suit against the company, j
and, as some of the ablest lawyers
in that part of the country were
employed, I do not think that an
acc^uut of the litigation will be
out of place or even uninstructive.
The bill of complaint, drawn up
by Colonel L. W. Weatherbv,
Ben’s lawyer, read as follows:
“Here comes the plaintiff, Ben

was some time before a jury could
be irnpaimeled. A tremor of ex
citement was felt throughout the
entire neighborhood, and a calf
show in progress at a village some
distance awiy adjourned to give
the people an opportunity to attend
the trial. After the hearing of a
great deal of testimony, and after
many able speeches, the judge, an
old and careful jurist, arose and
eaid :
« 1 Gentlemen of the jury, I had
thought that I could deliver my
charge in a few and simple words,

People that had come Jong dis¬
tances, and who expected an early
decision, were greatly disappoint¬
ed, and although some of them
were compelled to go home still
the majority of them, recognizing
importance, of the case, decided to
remain.
The next day, shortly after court
had been called, the judge arose
and read the following charge:

with pleasure that I tell you that
justice has asserted itself. Let us
take a. brief view cf this case. The

a Oifttt Gcutle

Jo ?;iwr*ge regular or irregular
Iml-itS hi UU::? On that point
there can be no <&oubt. It was
well known to the railroad com
pany that the plaintiff was in the
habit of leaning against th ffr

Would it not havs been considerate
on their part to have notified the
plaintiff that they were hitching
hofsea to the house for the purpose
of Moving it? This railroad com-
patty is a public carrier, a servant
of the people, so to speak. The
station house belonged to the pub
lie, and as the plaintiff is a part of
the public, a p*rt of the house, say
the northeast corner, belonged to
him. The defense sets up the plea
that the plaintiff, seeing the prep
arauons to move the house, should
l >ave stepped aside. But has the
c ^ tnJt ’ P'oved that the plaintiff
