ghe iibrarq Efong .29 Wfhen I wanted a girl to see, Five young men or even three, IW hen my lessons were fair to me, And I felt that my time was free, VVhen I wanted to rind a chair, IW hen I wanted a book in there, Then I straightway would repair To the dear library. Choms- Oh, I loved the library, Loved the library, Loved the library, Lots of good times I have had in there Chatting and holding down a chair. Now, alas, all my pleasure's o'er, Never can I go there more, Now its general use is der, For they've cruelly barred the door, Sealed it tightly, but not with wax, llfith a Wyeir across the cracks, Stationed there to keep me back, From the dear library. I loved the library, Loved the library, Loved the library, But I can never go For they've cruelly barred the door. M. H. S., 'o4 there more 130

in the library for the full period of one hourg that on such occasions he whispered, smiled, and de1neaned himself in a manner purposely calculated to win the affections of a suspecting girlyg that with full knowledge of the probable effects of his acts he purchased and wore a new necktie, and expended considerable sums of money in the purchase of peanuts. And the plaintiff further alleges that by reason of the afore- said malicious acts of the defendant, the position of the plaintiff in the affections of the aforesaid Miss Bertha has become a matter 1'1zd11b1'fczi115,' and that his mental suffering has induced sleeplessness and consequent loss of ilesh and appetite. The plaintiff prays that he be decreed five dollars damages, and that an injunction be granted perpetually restraining the defendant from departing from the usual tenor of his way in order to win the affections of the aforesaid Miss Bertha. An injunction is granted for two months, which is sufficient time for the plaintiff to make good. If he fails within such time, public policy and the court's high regard for the principle of dclicfzzs pcfzrofzaey, as well as the need of encouraging individual initiative, requires the removal of the fetters of the law from the defendant. The plaintiff's claim for damages is not supported by precedents. They are the natural consequence of his own premeditated actions to win the affections of a member of the gentler sex. The well-settled principle governing in such cases is that all damages incurred in such efforts are damvzzmz absque izzjzzvfia. The New York courts hold a reverse rule. But the cases may be reconciled on the ground that New York girls and Nebraska girls are not the same. D .29 fred bf.
