BY THE COUNSELLOR. ‘Walker & Walker, druggists, sold their business to the Carey Brothers. Noth- sell as to the use of the trade name “Walker & Walker.” The new concern operated the store under the name of “The Carey Brothers.” A year later Walker & Walker opened another drug store in the name of “Wal- ker & Walker,” a few blocks away from their former location. ‘The Carey Brothers immediately filed pavers in court asking that Wllk!r & Walker be e::émgmgmmmm name, conf e the business carried with it gy implica- tion the purchase of the trade name. Walker & Walker claimed, however, | that as there was no agreement regard- 'sh:llthennm,ltmnotpnnntthe e. ‘The court agreed with Walker & Wal- ker, stating: “Members of a firm may re-engage in the same business their names as a firm name, provided they have not agreéd otherwise.” P ST KOOI R e Today Is Mine. | p S o bR ing was mentioned in the agreement to | jc1, or painted finish, a combination of the two.

It is a fool- thing to dread approach of griefs corroding; to mope and mourn and look ahead with terror and foreboding. To- day is ours, and it is fine, no spot or blemish on it; and it is sinful to repine with crape upon one's bonnet. Some fellows can’t enjoy today because of hopeless b: on woes that may be on their way, inva and intruding. But all the bogiemen fear on other roads may wander; they are not likely to come near, they're sidetracked over yonder. ‘There are some fellows who grow cold when they observe us grin- o! ning; it makes them sore when they be- hold our smiles so wide and winning. “You smile today,” they say, “but vll(— nine kinds of grief are enmhu and then your smiles won't be on straight, glnd songs you won't be humming. clouds now gather in the sky, the ele- ments are frowning, and you, who now sit high and dry will soon be soaked and drowning.” Well, even so, let us be gay, and chant a glee toge hnve this pleasant, golden day, with all ts gorgeous weather.
