MUST CHANGE TO MEET TIMES In the Very Nature of Things, Uncertainty Will Ever Remain a Portion of the Law. Uncertainty must always be the portion of a large part of the law. It may assist toward certainty to reduce various branches of the law into the form of a statutory code, but, uncertainty remains. Society does not stay put; and if the code lags behind, it is no longer the governing law. New interpretations will be found for constitutions and codes, and new situations will arise for which no code provides Napoleon Is said to have remarked when the first commentary appeared on the Code Napoleon, "Mon code est perdu.” He was right, but he had no remedy. If the open acknowledgment of the fact that there are many sources of law other than statute and precedent Is heresy in the legal profession, so much the worse for the legal profession. Heresy or not, it is the fact, always has been, and always will be. If it tends to induce Insignificant judges to be law unto themselves and to lay down new and arbitrary rules, we must face the fact and deal with the judges. There is high and an- ' cient authority commanding us to "get understanding.” What though in the process old gods totter and old systems perish! It is certain that such an undertanding of the function of the judge as a lawgiver, should Impress him with a much greater sense of his responsibility.—Arthur L. Corbin in the Yale Review. HE SHOULD HAVE THE BEST All the Hospitable Instincts of the Mother Were Aroused at Artist’s Modest Request. , Ralph Perkins, an artist making a sketching tour through Rhode Island, chanced one day upon a picturesque old barn, so alluring to his eye that ho sat down on a stone wall and imme- ) diately set to work. He soon became aware that he had two spectators in the persons of the farmer and his wife, who had come to watch him. Presently the artist discovered that he had lost his rubber eraser, ami, wishing to correct an error in the sketch, he went up to the farmer's wife and asked her if he might have a piece of dry bread. This, as is uni- > versally known, made a good erase: The farmer’s wife looked at bins with an expression of pity not un- ‘ mixed with surprise. "Dry bread!” she repeated. ' Wei! I guess you won’t have to put up with dry bread from me, young man. I'vc got sons of my own ottf In the world You come right into the kit-hen w:>h me, and I’ll give you a nice slice of fresh bread with butter on it. No, not a word,” she continued, raising her hand to Vartj off his expostulations. “I don't care Tiow you came to this state, nor anything about it; ail 1 know is you’re hungry, and I've never yet allowed anybody to leave my house craving food."—Lippincott's Magazine. Individual or Group. The words never should be con netted by a disjunctive conjunction. 1 The proper word between the nouns 1 is “and." not "or.” The caption abeve i implies that the terms can be separat- . cd. and they cannot. The question , was asked the other day if the growth ! of group life was destroying the worth of the individual. The reply was given by a business man who told of a request that had come to him the day ■ before for a man to stand at the center of a big group at a salary that makes a mi’-later rub his eyes. The great need of the organized group was 1 an Individual. The two cannot be 1 sundered. The young man who says that there is no longer any chance , for the individual does not know the ! facts. Each la necessary to the other. The proper conjunction is “and." Get that Into your mind, young man, and 1 then make good —The Congregational- ’ Ist. Ireland's Signposts. Ireland is the country for useless signposts. During the last few years there has been an outbreak at Gaelic League activity in the country. Among other manifestations it has taken the form of erecting sfitiiposts with Gaelic inscriptions. There li one such In the little village of Omeath, in County Louth. It directs the traveler to Car lingford and to Nswry—but it directs him in an unknown tongue. It is not easy to see what useful purposes is served by such a algupust. for the Inhabitant knows his way without any such assistance and the Englishspeaking traveler is unable to find it unless he happens to consult one of the villagers, not one of whom—so far as I have been able to discover—can either read or speak a single word of Gaelic.—London Chronicle. Legal Tangle. | The day was drawing to a closs. | Judge, jurors, witnesses and Sawyers were growing weary’, says the Theosophical Path. Finally the counsel for the prosecution rose to examine the defendant. "Exactly bow far Is it between th * two towns.” asked the lawyer. In a , weary voice. The defendant yawned, and replied; I "About four miles as the cry flows.'' ! ”No doubt.” said die man of law, : "you mean as the tiuw cries.” The judge loaned forward "No,’’ ho remarked, suavely, "he means as the > fly crows." Thon all three looked at one anolio i. L i ling that something was I wronr somewhere
