The provisions of this section shall not apply to the use, sale, giving or furnishing of any narcotic upon the prescription of a physician."

It Is, evident case, hownot the fault lay, ever, that with Mr. Whittaker, but with Dana Smith, for he told, the sheriff, he, "would dismiss all cases of this kind." Now who, Is this uninformed and unripe stripling, scarcely past the adolescent period, who presumes to say what shall and what shall not be done with people charged with crimes. We have had one case dismissed because the county, attorneys office alleged In, the complaint that the accused "dissuaded" a witness to leave the state; tpn .indictments against this fellow Luke were quashed because the Indictments were defective in construction.

I went on. mechanically, but my eyes smarted and my heart ached with nameless pain. . 'You will be surprised to learn that Bessie Miller is married after a courtship of two weeks.- She visited a dentist's office to have an aching, tooth treated, and the. young doctor who waited upon her was smitten at sight. It' was a straight seige on his side with prompt capitulation on the part of "Miss Bess," I hope it will not be a case of repenting at leisure. Five years from now that. girl will be a handsome woman, and by that time life will have compelled her to learn what others failed to teach her.
