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

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.'"

Back Should There tier Be a
lase Where Dodson's Liver '
Tone Falls.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a mild
vegetable Liver Tonic which operates
so sucessfully in cases of conIstipati.in,
torpid liver or biliousness
that it has practically taken the
place of calomel?the drug which
is so often dangerous. Dr W V
Brockington, who sells Dodson's
Liver Tone, recommends it as a reliever
of constipation, sour stomach,
biliousness and sluggish liver. It
works gently, surely and harmlessly.
If a bottle should ever fail to give I
satisfaction Dr W V Brockington will <
refund the price paid without ques- (
tion.
The price of Dodson's Liver Tone '
is 50 cts per bottle. Be sure you (
get Dodson's Liver Tone and not j
some medicine put up in imitation that
is not backed up by a guarantee
and that may contain harmful drugs.

A Marvelous Escape.
"My little boy had a marvelous
escape," writes P F Bastiams of
Prince Albert, Cape of Good Hope.
"It occurred in the middle of the
night. He got a very severe attack
of croup. As luck would have it, I
had a large bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in the house. After
following the directions for an hour
and twenty minutes he was through
all danger." For sale by all dealers.
