IS H0R8E8 WERE WOODEN Sat All (be Ium If* Had to Pmj Wow • 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.

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. GOOD MEETING.

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.
