“It is freely stated in this class of case that the Lower Court must put itself in the place of the jury,” said Mr. J. H. Salmon. S.M.. in delivering judgment in a theft case at the Wanganui Magistrate’s Court (reports the “Chronicle”). “That is quite true, but it does not follow that I would arrive at the same conclusion as a jury would. A jury of twelve citizens. no matter who they may be, is not always so competent at weighing evidence as a single person who is more expert. It is a false policy to say that on the evidence a jury would not convict. I must bo faithful to my oath of office and arrive at my own conclusions.”

A Spirit, which expresses the ideals of master blenders is Dewar’s Whisky —in the delights of its distinctive flavour—in the excellence of its almost magically blended ingredients—there you will find the expression or those high ideals which inspired the founders of Dewar’s distillery so many years ago. If you go into any hotel ask for a ‘nip’ of Dewar’s, and con> pare its delicious goodness with any other whisky. You will readily see why public favour has" enthusiastically turned to Dewar’s, and why it is pre* ferred by connoisseurs. Griffen and Smith, Ltd., agents, Greymouth, West, port and Hokitika. —Advt.

Judging an oratory competition is like umpiring a cricket match, according to Mr. Martin Luckie, who judged the speeches made by boys of Wellington College in the first contest for the recently presented Captain R. J. S. Seddon Memorial Cup. “As any umpire knows,” said Mr. Luckie, “it -is very easy to give your decisions, 1 Tnlt it is always very hard, not to say unwise, to give reasons.”

“Human happiness is such an easy simple thing, that those who have the most of it know it the least.” ; This is a quotation from Josh Billing's “Phish Bawls,” and there is a great deal more in it than appears at first glance. No one can be happy if they are in debt, in mental trouble, or constantly sick and ailing. We cannot recommend any certain cure'for getting out of debt unless it is by har<j> constant work, thrift and economy, but mental and bodily troubles may frequently be put right by a good strengthening tonic such as Parkinson’s Quinine and Iron Wine. ‘When you are feeling dull and depressed > owing to poorness of blood, caused by indigestion or other causes, a good tonic is the thing required. It will build up the system, enrich the blood, steady the nerves and make imaginary mental troubles disappear. Remember you can get relief, and. shake off all your woe, take the Quinine and Iron- Wine of Parkinson and Co., 2/6 and 4/6. —Advt. . : X
