He ex amined him carefully and said that he was physically in good condition, and then the boy told his story. 1 remember starting from here on Friday morning for work,” he said. “I got irf the subway, and after that can’t recollect anything until I was suddenly aroused by a stinging sen sation in my knee-9 and legs.

In mv pockets I found $9. So 1 went to a small hotel and had a long sleep. I took the train, the first one to leave after I got up. and here I am.” Dr. O’Connell characterized the at tack as purely a functional disturb ance. which, he said, might be caused by a shock.

The shock temporarily suspended, he said, ihe function of broca convolution end the impulse of the victim was to keep going somewhere. Dr. O’Con nell asserted that the boy probably wandered out of the subway at *he Grand Central Station and then de cided to get aboard a train.

D?c. 20.—Thf Webb-Kenyon law does not prevent the shipment of liquor into dry ter ritory for the consumer’s personal use. Judge Charles A. Willard has made this ruling in Federal Court at St. Paul/in the case of the Hamm Brewing Company vs. the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway. A copy of this order lias been forwarded to Attorney General George Cosson. The brewing company consigned a shipment of liquor to a Mr. Moss, of Iowa, to the Rock Island. The railroad refused to transport the liquor on the grounds that to do so would be *to violate the Webb-K°nyon law, which declares it to be unlawful for a ship ment of liquor intended to be re ceived, consumed, or sold in violation of any law of the State to which it is sent. The court held, in effect, that if Moss had intended to use the liquor for bootlegging, the shipment would have been illegal, but that for per sonal consumption it could not be so held. There is a law’ in Iowa. Judge Wil lard pointed out, prohibiting the transportation by any common car- i rier of liquors billed to anv* one not I holding a permit. The Webb-Kenyon | bill does not prohibit interstate trans portation of liquor in violation of a [ State law. however, the court said, i It is the carrying of liquor intended to be put to an unlawful use that the Webb-Kenyon bill prohibits.

He doesn’t use it, he doesn’t like it and he »s mighty tired of it. and anything that he may have said about it lie takes buck. Last year one of the editors of The Tartan, the institute paper, told Pro fessor Long that the principal edito rial of a coming issue of tne paper was to deal w ith profanity. The young man stated that an effort was being made to lessen the evil among stu dents and requested that Professor Long write a contribution on the sub ject. ✓Mr. Long said he didn’t know anything about it. but wrote an iron ical article on profanity as it is spoken. Within three days after tt|* article was printed in The Tartan it ap peared in newspapers all over [he country. Attention was called to the fact that Professor Long believed that the quickest way to relieve overheat ed feelings was to say something, neat, snappy and reasonably profane. He was hailed as an authority on Lie subject and was swamped with mall from persons who had thought up something he might like for its terse ness. Now the very word profanity irritates him. He’s sorry he erer said a word about it. Tea Not Tea if Drug, Government Rules WASHINGTON.

Dec. 20.—Two thousand one hundred and sixty- seven Arkansas boys must hang their heads in shame they were beaten in the annual competition for boys’ corn club prizes by a girl, Delphine Moore, of Washington County. . Only two boys were able to show a better record, on the form required by the United States Department of Agriculture, than little Miss Moore, she taking third prize for work in Arkansas. Many of the boys are riled over the record of Miss Moore ami want to know how she "got into a boys’ club. i anyhow.” This expression shows the bitterness of their draught, for when Miss Moore entered the contest in Washington County it was considered somewhat as a joke. Miss Moore raised 101 bushels of corn on an acre, at a cost of 12 cents per bushel, and made up for the lack of high-priced fertilizers by hard work on the soil. Gets $50 Prize. j More than tw’o boys secured a high- ] er yield from an acre than did Miss Moore, but it was either at a greater cost per bushel, or there was a lar- ness in keeping the record required by the Government, so the general all round work of this energetic farm girl w’on for the third prize, $50, over so many competitors. Before entering the boys’ corn club contest Miss Moore made a bargain with her brother, also a contestant, that if he would plow the land as she directed, she would hoe and weed Ills acre of corn. The brother agreed and on the last day of April she selected the kind of a plow she wanted used and stood by to see that the ground was turned to a depth of twelve inches. The ground was then thor oughly harrowed and the first day of May the corn was planted in row's three feet and a half apart. Miss Moore followed another idea of her own in the plowing of the corn. Four weeks after planting she had her brother plow the corn to a depth of six inches, and the following day she had it gone over with the plow again. On the last day of May the corn was thinned and hoed for the first time. Arrested in Cleveland, Husband of Many Names Held as a Fugi tive From Michigan.
