Chief Justice Fuller had. written the opinion of the court. He concluded about as follows: "In this ease the court has adopted the line of argument laid down In an opinion rendered by Justice Harlan." Then followed the number of the precedent case, the volume of the report and the page, so that any one who desired mlgnt read In detsil what Justice Harlan had said on the former occaaloo. But appended to this later opinion rendered by tbe chief justice was the.following: Harlan dissents." The stslwsrt Kentucklan was recorded as having squarely reversed himself. Wbst did Justice Harlan say when his sttentlon wss called to the report? "My, my, that oughtn't to have gone In that way. It will bring the court Into contempt/' And the justice's eyes twinkled. — St. Louis Globe-Damocrst. Best Flour ....»( Feed, all kinds rv  VMIMJ IxHU Vkw* JOHN O'D. NANGflN'S riutd.
