TWO GOOD LAWS.

On page 688 of the acts passed by the last legislature are two laws which should commend themselves to every good citizen.

An# person who shall violate any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shall be fined not less than five dollars nor more than fifty dollars.” The other law is aimed at the indiscriminate use of explosives by children and is as follows: “It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, company or corporation to manufacture, sell or expose for sale, or give away as a prize or reward, any toy pistol or other device for the purpose of exploding caps or wafers contain:, ing fulminates or other explosive compounds; and any person, firm, company or corporation so manufacturing, selling or offering to sell or give away any such toy, pistol or other devices, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on oooviction, shall be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars, or be imprisoned in the county jail not less than ten days nor more than twenty days.”
