FINE POINTS OF LAW. Some of the Nice Legal Distinction* In England's Criminal Code. There are many legal terms that are used by the public in quite the wrong sense, and often when people are discussing "law" they hopelessly contuse tnem. a iew 01 mese terms are given below, and the distinctions explained. "Libel is a defamation of anw ? other's character by writing, printing, picture or the like, whereas "slander" is an oral defamation. Another important difference between these two offenses is that in the case of libel there are two remedies?one by a criminal prosecution and the other by an action for damages. But in the case of slander the only remedy is by action for damages. "Burglary" is the breaking and entering of a dwelling house by . night (i. e., between 9 p. m. and 6 p. a. m.) with intent to commit a felony, whereas "housebreaking" is a I similar offense, but committed by J day. The maximum punishment for I burglary is penal servitude for life, * and the maximum punishment for L in /Ain?+AAn more' IIu 115trurctia..' *ig AD ivunc^u j vuia penal servii -de. The law has always looked upon burglary as being the more heinous offense, and this is due, probably, to the fact that it usually occasions more alarm and often leads to homicide. It is advisable for an intending criminal to have a look at his watch before "cracking a crib!" There is a distinction between "robbery'' and ordinary "stealing" (or "larceny," as it is called) from another's person. To make the offense "robbery" the stealing must be accompanied by an open and violent assault. Thus a man whose pocket has been picked has not been "robbed," but a man from whom something has been forcibly taken has. Another distinction recognized by the law arises in the ease of "embezzlement" and "stealing by clerks and servants." In order for the offense to be embezzlement the property appropriated must not, at the time, be in the actual or legal possession of the owner. For instance, if a clerk receives some money from a customer and keeps it he has stolen it. But if he first puts it in his employer's safe and subsequent. ly takes it out again and keeps it - he is guilty of embezzlement. The reason is that by placing the money in the safe it became in the legal possession of the employer.?London Tit-Bits. His Position. The southern darky's love of putting off till next spring or later what should be done on the spot is as well known as it is vexatious. One day Major Jackson, a contractor in a Georgia quarry, told | Zeb, the general utility man, to go p to the blacksmith shop across the - . road and bring back a drill that was to be sharpened. About half an houi; later the major saw Zeb come poking around the corner of the office. "Here," he shouted, "where have you been?" "I ain't been, boss," responded Zeb cheerfully. "Fs gwine."?Lipi ' pincott's. ^ Small Talk. ^ Fuseli, the painter, had a great dislike to that species of Conversation -familiarlv rtannilTirpJ "tattle." Once when sitting in his room for a long while among some trifling visitors who were discussing the weather and such like interesting subjects, after remaining for a long time without speaking, he burgt out with a "We had pork for dinner today!" "Dear Mr. Fuseli!" exclaimed one. "What an odd remark!" "Why," replied he, "it's as good as anything you've been saying for the last hour."?Lippincott's. Fooled Her. "You promised that you would give me my answer this evening," noi/} "iro von TOfldv to do so?" "Yes," she replied, "but I want you to promise me something first." "What is it?" "I want you to promise me solemnly that you will not do anything rash?that you will not, when I hare -given you my answer, go and drown yourself or take bichloride of mercury." "Oh, then, you have decided to ?. say yes, have you?"?Chicago Record-Herald. A Poor Remedy. Speaking of a certain measure un der discussion in the senate, a well . known congressman said: "It does not meet the situation at all and Vill not remedy conditions. It reminds me of the wife of a young blacksmith of Washington. 'Did youNsew that button on my coat?' this blacksmith asked his wife one * morning. dear,' the wife an?" swered. 1 couldn't find the button, but I sewed up the buttonhole, so it's all right.'" f * - ' MONEY REFUNDED 1 WITH A SMILE., Leading Drug Store Will Give Money [ Back Should There tier Be a lase Where Dodson's Liver ' Tone Falls.
