He happened to notice that in a law passed by Congress for the regulation of the wool trade, the word "wool" had been accidentally omid from an important clause. He therefore, made an offer to various wool merchants affected by the clause to bring a test action into the courts, on condition that he should receive a large percent age if the case was won. The case was wor, to suppose that Congress intended to insert words the judges holding that the courts had no right

DEAR SIRS-Your newly appointed Special" begs to hand you a report giving the result of his nocturnal expedition in search of the panther. Upon receiving your very flattering letter respecting my abilities as a tiger catcher and your handsome offer for my services, I at once made up my mind that I would be there or thereabouts.
