• Livery Lleeiee. '
As "hi* honor" ut on tho bench from
arhlch even handed Justice* wu dis
pensed in the town of Ls villa, which
flourished way down In Florida before
the daya of Greater Jacksonville, be
was amazed to note among the prison
ers at the bar a “paleface”
Casting the eagle eye of the law over
the room, he was agitated still more to
observe a "blled" shirt und standing
collar and that these wero worn by an
other white man.
The marshal, being called on, explain
ed that one white gentleman was ar
rested by him for running a "flying
jinny" without a license, and the other
was hla lawyer. To a man cast in a
less heroic mold than the mayor such
complete smashing of all records and
Invading of precedent would have been
a Waterloo. A white man arrested in
Lnvlila and a lawyer appearing to
plead In lta court! To what are we
coming?
Bepresalng all signs of such a strain
on his judicial composure, the mayor
announced that to fittingly mark
great an occasion he would disregard
the calendar and take up the white
man's case first.
The lawyer demanded tho Immediate
discharge of the prisoner on the ground
that there whs no ordinance requiring
"flying Jinny" to ptiy a license and
threw the court on its "beam ends" by
asking for a copy of the ordinance
book.
No ono bad seen It In years. Many
doubted If there had ever been one.
whispered consultation was held be
tween the mayor and the marshal and
• search instituted which revealed the
book, with u brick on top of it, supply
ing the place of a missing leg of tin-
stove.
After looking vainly through the
book for law on "(lying Jinnies" his
•honor delivered Judgment ns follows:
•O.-dinanos No. 11 requires nil keep
ers of livery stables to pay n license of
$lo and impose* a fine of twice the
amount for running without a license.
The defendant must pay both the fine
and tho license."
"But," objected tho lawyer, "this
man don't run a livery stablo; he runs
a ‘flying Jinny.'"
"Ho keeps horses for hire, doesn't
her «;**>"* —•
>-.‘2**, but they arc wooden horw-i.
and he charge* a nU-kel for ono ride.”
"The ordinance makes no flno distinc
tion. It soys livery stables require a
license. A livery (table Is a place where
horses are kept for hire. It mokes

No ClfgrettcsifiTtis School.
Cincinnati Post.
At the academy of Northwest
ern Uuiversity, Chicago, there are
800 boys.
In the old days many of them
were cigarette smokers. Now you
could talk with every man-jack of
that school crew, and not once
would you be offended by the vile
odor of cigarettes.
Dr. H. F. Fisk, of the academy,
studied the cigarette question.
He found that athletes in training
are barred from cigarettes. He
discovered that of the 75 pupils
haviug the highest standing in his
school but two smoked cigarettes.
Of the young fellows who were
wholly or partially failure, 57 per
ceut used cigarettes.
It didn’t take Dr. Fi»k long to
reach a conclusion.
Ho would have scorned the
methods of the Cincinnati Board
of Education, which refused to al
low a band of noble women to cir
culate nntieigarotte pledges among
the pupils of the public schools.
He acted.
He colled the 800 students be
fore him nud in a plnin, heart-to-
heart] talk,{told them that among
educators there is no division of
opinion as to tho injurious effects,
both mentul and physical, of ciga
rettes ou young men who lmve not
reached maturity.
He asked them to stop smoking
cigarettes or leave Bchool, tuition
to be returned to such as were not
satisfied to abide by tbn now rules.
To the credit of the students,
let it be said that not one left, and
the school is effectually and per
manently purged of a known eyil.

Tk« Coffee Heart.
The largest part of the coffee grown
in tho world is consumed in the United
States, and some of our life Insurance
societies are beginning to realize bow
Its excessive use increases the risks of
life. Its effect Is In shortening the
long beat of the heart and medical ex*
amlners for Insurance companies bare
added tbe term "coffee heart” to their
regular classification of tbe functional
derangements of that organ. These
physicians advise that tbe use of cof
fee be limited to not more than two
cups a day. Coffee topers, they say,
are plentiful and are as maeh tied to
their cups as the whisky toper. Tbe
effect of the coffee upon the heart Is
more lasting and consequently worse
than that of liquor.—Detroit Free
