FINE POINTS OF LAW. Soma of the Nic Legal Distinction In England's Criminal cSda. There are manv Icjal terms that j are uaud by the public in quite the wrong sense, and often when people are discussing law tliey Hopelessly confuse them. A few of these terms are given below, and the distinc tions explained. "Libel" is a defamation of an other's character by writing, print ing, picture or the like, whereas "slander" is an oral defamation. Another important difference be tween these two offenses is that in the case of libel there are two reme dies one by a criminal prosecution and the other by an action for dam ages. 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 a. m.) with intent to commit a fel ony, whereas "housebreaking" is a similar offense, but committed by day. The maximum punishment for burglary is penal servitude for life, and the maximum punishment for housebreaking is fourteen years' penal servitude. The law has al ways 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 advis able 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 of fense "robbery" the stealing must be accompanied by an open and vio lent assault. Thus a man whose pocket has been picked has not been "robbed," but a man rom whom something has been forcibly taken has. Another distinction recognized by the law arises in the case of "em bezzlement" and "stealing by clerks and servants." In order for the of fense to b embezzlement the prop erty appropriated must not, at the time, be in the actual or legal pos session 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. ton don Tit-Bits. His Position. The southern darky's love of putting oil 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 con tractor in a Georgia quarry, told Zeb, the general utility man, to go to the blacksmith shop across the road and bring back a drill that m to be sharpened. About half an hour later the major saw Zeb come poking around the corner of the of fice. "Here," ho shouted, "where have you been ?" "I ain't been, boss." resnorwkd Zeb cheerfully.' "I's gwinc." Lip- pmcott s. Small Talk. Fuscli, the painter, had a great dislike to that species of conversa tion familiarly denounced "tattle." Once when sitting in his room for a long while among some trilling visitors who were discussing the weather and such like interesting subjects, after remaining for a long time without speaking, lie burst out with a "We had pork for dinner to day I" "Dear Mr. Fuselil" exclaim ed one. "What an odd remark I" "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," he said. "Are you ready to do so?" "lcs, she replied, "but I want you to promise me something first." "What is it?" "I want you to promise me sol emnly that you will not do anything rash that you will not, when 1 have 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 docs not meet the situation at all and will not remedy conditions. It re minds me of the wife of a young blacksmith of Washington. 'Did you sew that button on my coat?' this blacksmith asked his wife one morning. 'No, dear,', the wife an swered. couldn't find the button, but I sewed up the buttonhole, so it's all right.'" FAIRV1EW. Dick Reed went to John Day to feed heeo for Mr. Smith. M. R.
