P. E. 1. Couple Wed 50 Years Presented Gifts .

SOMERVELE, Mam, May '1.-- Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Webber, 211 School street, playmates in their native town of Charlottetown, P. E, 1., rounded out 50 years of married llie today, when their golden wedding was observed at an informal recep- tion at their home. attended by city omcials and other prominent rosi- dents.

They were assisted by their child- ren, Mrs. Mildred D, Whitcomb, oi’ Medford, and Roscoe H. Webber, of this city, and their grandson, Irvin E. Whitcomh, a student at Tufts College. They received many gifts and telegrams of congratulations from California to Prince Edward 1s- land.

Mr. Webber had been employed by the Boston Globe for 33 years, and for some time had been attached to the pron! room. He is a. member of the A. O. U. W. and Canadian or- ganisations. Mrs. Webber, before marriage, was Miss Emma C. Clark.

In this par- titular hunt on the Dukes estate, an unusually big boar was found- sows ind young boars are never huutsd-vand the chase went on ov- er twelve miles. And the old boar on his way to safety.

"He rles a game one." the Duke de- clared. "He exhausted all c! us- men, horses and dogs and we finally had to let him go."

h 0 O I

Tile French courts have lt-cided lust what is the law about leaving your shoes outside the room of your hotel. A hotelkeepcr, according to the ruling, is responsible for the shoes and for any inconvenience which the. traveller may have been caused by the loss o! them.

M. Luclani, c. commercial traveller when staying at a hotel in Nancy, was extremely annoyed one morning to find that. his shoes were missing. Manager and. stair searched the hot-- el but no shoes could be found and the traveller, fuming with rage, be- cause he had lost his train as well as his footwear, had to cool his heels. while he sent someone to buy him a new pair. p

In due course he brought suit a- gainst the hotel owner, claiming .ll.e value of the shoes, plus damage for inconvenience caused. Advocates for u. the h0telkeeper~after the manner of the famuos legal argument over chops and tomato sauce in “Pickwick Pap- res"--argued about the legal nlceties associated with the act of depositing shoes outside a bedroom door. But the logical French jnry would have none o! the legal reasoning and ord- ered the hotel to pay the cost of the shoes and approximately two dollars more for the inconvenience caused to the guest.

The court also ruled. incidentally. that notices in hotels wamlng guests that the management coud not be
