| WHERE CAN I PARK? (Continued from Page 10) age man to leave his ear in one spot. Department stores have no exact figure s—as could be obtained by tagging and checking lach customer—to show them; how long the average shopper remains in the store. "I made a hasty study of the! Marking time of automobiles in a j usy block in Indianapolis andj found that only about half of them remained longer than half an hour. A substantial percentage of the others, however, were parked all day long. The city of the future will not only be decentralized; but long-time parking will be taken care of by large garages, many stories high, opening preferably on alleys. Such garages will be in the rear of more valuable buildings having street frontage. I'm convinced that when our parking space is wisely handled, there will always be room for all the cars of those who wish to make only brief stops."

"The Chief Justiceship.—The Senate on Tuesday last confirmed Hon. Salmon P. Chase as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in place of Rodger B. Taney, deceased." In 1864 whiskey brought a pretty good price, as the following news item from the Hagerstown Mail shows: "Strong Prices—-William Logan sold at private sale four barrels of pure whiskey to Benjamin Long a few days since for the sum of $800 cash. There was an aggregate of one hundred and sixty gallons in the four barrels, costing just five dollars per gallon." The same whiskey now would bring a small fortune. Judge Richard Grason, recently elected, opened the December term of court and charged the grand jury. Afterwards Wm. P. Preston, Esq., arose and after speaking in the highest terms of Hon. John H. Price, the retiring judge, offered, resolutions calling attention to his faithfulness, honesty and ability. Here is a good illustration of Indian justice, and when you come to think it over it is difficult to improve on it: "Indian Justice.—Many years ago, when a gentleman from the central part of New Hampshire was in Pequawket country, attending to his property near the village of Frye-burg, a company of Indians from the Penobscot tribe came there for a temporary abode, and pitched their tents on an elevation near the Saco river. In passing to his lands, he noticed a squaw kneeling to pick strawberries, and creeping to different parts of the patch that furnished the fruit. Her attitude struck him as singular; but he concluded she took that posture as most convenient for the purpose. "On his return she had disappeared, and he supposed had gone to sell berries. But as he approached the settlement he observed the unusual sight of an Indian carrying a squaw on his back. A nearer view showed him the person whom he -saw in the strawberry field.— After having witnessed the occurrence several times, on inquiry of the Indians as to the cause of this action, one of them replied: "He bad Indian. He drink much Soccapee. He drunk, and Cheepie (devil) get in him. Then he puts squaws feet in fire. They burn off." As he looked he saw they were crippled and useless. "The tribe resented the cruelty, and its council were about to decide on his immediate execution. But one of the older and wiser of the number interposed his opinion, and gave this advice: "No shoot; make him live long as squaw live; make him carry squaw when she want walk; when squaw die, then shoot." "The decision was in accordance with this counsel, and thus secured to the injured woman perpetual kind treatment from her husband. The fact of his own death as soon as she died made him careful to preserve her health and life; and the punishment of bearing her as his constant burden, as well as the compelled attention to her welfare, formed a striking example of the detributive shrewdness of 'Indian Justice.' " Amon/g the criminal cases tried at the December term of Court was that of Hiram Cole, indicted for inspecting fire wood without a license. He was found guilty and fined $100 and costs, that being the amount fixed by the statute. War news has been meagre for several weeks. The following dispatch from E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, is the only war news in the issue of December 16: "Washington, Dec. 13, 8 P.

He is reported by this morning's Richmond papers as will be seen by the following telegram from General Grant, to be in line of battle, not five miles from Savannah: " 'City Point, Va., December 13— •;*?»*>»? »»»»»» »»a+»+<„>a»>aa« Established 1857 < J The James R Armiger Co. 310 N.

"Later—A telegraphic dispatch received from below Charleston, states that Sherman was in line of battle—we will not say where—confronted by a strong Confederate force. "Another paper states there haa been no direct communication with Savannah for several days, but' we apprehend the lines have been cut between that place and Charleston.
