Law Questions Answered.

Dr. Quack: “We do not see that you have any redress, although the case is certainly an aggravated one. If your pet dog bit a neighbor’s boy, and caught the chickenpox by so doing, about the only thing left for you to do is to train your dog to be mote discriminating.” Prof. Belts: “No; a mortgage executed on Feb. 31st will not stand.” Mabel: “We do not feel competent to advise you as to the style of hat you should wear during your breach of promise suit. Something fetching, of course, but be careful not to put it, on quite straight. Most judges prefer a slightly rakish angle.” City Clerk: “You say the tramp struck you, but you fail to tell for how much.” Parr: “It depends on the man who gives the note whether it is good or not if dated on Friday.” Anxious Wife: “Why not write to your husband and ask him if he will pay your board while you are secretly securing a Dakota divorce from him ?” George: “If you gave the girl the ring in good faith it may be difficult for you to get it back again. You say she laughs at you when you ask for it. At the same time we cannot advise you to begin a S6O lawsuit to secure asl ring which you admit is plugged and is presumably plated. Mary Jane: “You say the young man stole a kiss from you, and that you want legal redress. But we really cannot approve of this. If the young man seems truly repentant and is willing to return the stolen goods, you would do wisely if you concluded to call it square.”
