Letter to a Lancaster Lawyer
Lnrw.anter, 8. C.
Dear Sir : What's tho peualty
for making or st lliog short-measure
paiut in your stale ?
And does it miiko any differonce,
if three-fourths of the
paiut* are short-measure ?
Is seven pints a full-gallon 01
a fool-gallon ?
What's the penalty, for luakiujj
or selling whitewash for paiut '
Is whitewash paint, if mixed
with a little paint and labeled
"Pure tnixed paint," or some
thing like that ?
But we don't intend to go int<
tho business. We mako Devo<
lead-and zinc full-measure ant

Yours truly,

The following is found in an
? i
icount of the taking of 203letm
Hili 'on the last days of
le l'ort Arthur siege:
With the exception of three
risoners not a live Russian was
jund on the summit. They had
eon shelled to pieces, and not
ven a mouse could havo escaped
rom that hail. No mountain
ver contained, contracted in so
mall a space, so much of the horors
of war. The crest had been
bsolutely smashod to pieces.
)ne could not even trace the lines
f original defences. Among
his confused jumble of rocks,
andbags, shells, charred timber,
iroken rifles, bits of uniforms und
oldiors' accoutrements of every
escription the dead lay in hun?
reds, many smashed beyond reomblance
to human form, so terlble
is the effect of modern shellire.
On the oast side of the
nountnin lay (lend Russians and
in the west aide tho dead Japanse.
The summit was sacred to
loth.
