# Tales of Old Lusitania/The Padre and the Negro

THE PADRE AND THE NEGRO.
Once upon a time, a certain Padre had a negro servant, who thought himself very sly and clever at expedients. One morning the Padre told the negro to cook a chicken for his dinner. The negro did so, but when he dished it the savoury smell from the roast chicken so whetted his appetite that he cut off a leg and ate it, and then arranged it on the dish so that his master should not detect what was wanting. The Padre, however, soon discovered that there was a leg wanting to the bird, and, turning to his servant, he asked him: "Did you cut a leg off the chicken and eat it?"
"No, sir, I did no such thing; the chicken had only one leg when it was alive."
"Do you think I am such a fool as to believe that?"
"Oh, dear father, there's a number of other hens in the poultry yard strutting about with only one leg, and ​the next time I notice one I will call you out to see it."
"Very well, do so."
When the negro by chance saw a hen standing with one of its legs drawn up under it, he called out to his master, "Oh, dear master, come out and see a hen with only one leg!"
The Padre ran out, and cried out to the bird, "Cho', cho', chuckie!" and the hen instantly putting its leg down, the Padre said to the negro, "You rascally cheat! do you think I am a donkey?"
"No, indeed, father, by no means! but when the chicken was on your table, you did not say 'Cho, cho', chuckie!' so it did not find its other leg!"

# Tales of Old Lusitania/The Three Students and the Soldier

THE THREE STUDENTS AND THE SOLDIER.
Three students were going home for their holidays, and, as it happened, they all took the same road. As they went along, merrily chatting and singing, they found a dead wolf by the road side, and this set one of them thinking what a capital subject they had before them for the composition of some good poetry; and as he prided himself on his poetical talents, he turned to his companions and said: "He who shall compose the best couplet on this dead wolf, I propose shall have his dinner free of charge."
"Agreed!" cried his friends, and one of them immediately began thus:—
While he lived, this voracious old sinner Never paid a reál for his dinner.
The next student then followed:—
He never stopt to cook his mutton, But ate it raw, the greedy glutton!
The longest nap he's ever taken Is this, from which he'll never waken.
When the students had finished reciting their compositions, they could not agree as to which of them had succeeded best, and was entitled to his dinner.
Just at that moment a soldier overtook them, so they asked him to stop awhile and settle their dispute: "Come here, comrade, tell us what you think of the couplets we have made, and you shall have your dinner for nothing." Here they all three read their compositions, and when the soldier had heard them out, he said, "All three couplets are excellent, so now for my trouble you gentlemen may order dinner for four."
"Oh, yes—to be sure—of course," replied the three students at once; but being annoyed to find that they had been sold by a soldier, they agreed among themselves to trick him for his impudence. Coming to an inn, they entered and ordered dinner for four; but privately they told the hostess to cook a large piece of sausage, and send it to table cut into three equal parts. When they sat down, one of the students thrust his fork into one of the pieces of sausage, and said:—
In the name of the Holy One, I'll have this piece or none.
In the name of the Holy Two, This piece for me will do.
When the soldier saw that only one portion was left in the dish, he quickly seized hold of it, and cried:—
In the name of the Holy Three, This piece will just suit me, And the fourth may fatten thee!
And thus he was able to secure the last piece, which would have escaped him had he not had his wits about him.
# Statement on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Agreement

Issued on 11 February 2009.
I want to thank the Democrats and Republicans in Congress who came together around a hard-fought compromise that will save or create more than 3.5 million jobs and get our economy back on track. Just today, the CEO of Caterpillar said that if this American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is passed, his company would be able to rehire some of the employees they’ve been forced to lay off. It’s also a plan that will provide immediate tax relief to families and businesses, while investing in priorities like health care, education, energy, and infrastructure that will grow our economy once more. I’m grateful to the House Democrats for starting this process, and for members in the House and Senate for moving it along with the urgency that this moment demands.

# Statement on International Women's Day

Delivered on 8 March 2009.
In observance of International Women’s Day, and during Women’s History Month in the United States, the United States stands with people around the globe to reaffirm our commitment to the equality, freedom, achievements, and advancement of women.
From the global challenge of climate change, to a world that is not yet free from poverty and conflict, our challenges are many. Women are vital to the solutions to these problems, and we will not sow the seeds for a brighter future or reap the benefits of the change we need without the full and active participation of women around the world.
Worldwide, women play leadership roles in the health and education of our families, in our fields, our factories, our classrooms, our laboratories, and our boardrooms. With or without awards or acknowledgement, women have taught us about hope, about courage, and about opportunity.
The United States is filled with great hope that our daughters, and the daughters of all nations, will continue to serve as leaders in the pursuit of our collective well-being and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Today, Michelle and I remember, celebrate, and honor the sacrifices, talents and leadership of women around the world.

# Statement on 58th anniversary of India's Constitution

Issued on 26 January 2009.
As the people of India and people of Indian origin in America and around the world celebrate Republic Day on January 26, I send the warmest greetings of the American people to the people of India. Together, we celebrate our shared belief in democracy, liberty, pluralism, and religious tolerance.
Our nations have built broad and vibrant partnerships in every field of human endeavor. Our rapidly growing and deepening friendship with India offers benefits to all the world's citizens as our scientists solve environmental challenges together, our doctors discover new medicines, our engineers advance our societies, our entrepreneurs generate prosperity, our educators lay the foundation for our future generations, and our governments work together to advance peace, prosperity, and stability around the globe.
It is our shared values that form the bedrock of a robust relationship across peoples and governments. Those values and ideals provide the strength that enables us to meet any challenge, particularly from those who use violence to try to undermine our free and open societies. As the Indian people celebrate Republic Day all across India, they should know that they have no better friend and partner than the people of the United States. It is in that spirit, that I also wish Prime Minister Singh a quick recovery.

# Statement on Detention of Taliban and Al Qaida Prisoners

* related portals: United Nations.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
Statement by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in January 2002
The following was issued today by United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson:
According to recent reports, 30 Taliban and Al Qaida prisoners from Afghanistan arrived at the United States Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on 14 January, 2002, to join a first group of 20 prisoners transferred from Afghanistan starting on 11 January. The reports include allegations about the manner in which the prisoners were transported and the conditions in which they are being detained.
Detailed information on these specific allegations is not yet available. I am aware that there are a number of legal issues and these are under active consideration by the US authorities. I am also aware that the International Committee of the Red Cross will have access to the prisoners and that there will be consular access.
It is appropriate to recall that there are international legal obligations that should be respected. In particular, I would like to recall that:
· All persons detained in this context are entitled to the protection of international human rights law and humanitarian law, in particular the relevant provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
· The legal status of the detainees, and their entitlement to prisoner-of-war (POW) status, if disputed, must be determined by a competent tribunal, in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Third Geneva Convention.
· All detainees must at all times be treated humanely, consistent with the provisions of the ICCPR and the Third Geneva Convention.
· Any possible trials should be guided by the principles of fair trial, including the presumption of innocence, provided for in the ICCPR and the Third Geneva Convention.

# Studies in Song/After Nine Years

AFTER NINE YEARS
AFTER NINE YEARS.
TO JOSEPH MAZZINI.
Primâ dicte mihi, summâ dicende Camenâ.
i.
Since heaven grew seven times more divine
With thy soul entering, and the dearth
Of souls on earth
Grew sevenfold sadder, wanting One
Whose light of life, quenched here and done,
Burns there eternal as the sun.
2.
Beyond all thought beloved, what need Has death or love that speech should be, Hast thou of me? I had no word, no prayer, no cry, To praise or hail or mourn thee by, As when thou too wast man as I.
3.
Save one whose name priests turn to scorn, Who haply, though we know not now, Was man as thou, A wanderer branded with men's blame,
Loved past man's utterance: yea, the same, Perchance, and as his name thy name.
4.
Degraded into Deity, And priest-polluted by such prayer As poisons air, Tongue-worship of the tongue that slays, False faith and parricidal praise: But the man crowned with suffering days.
5.
Most manlike, of most equal mind
And heart most perfect, more than can Be heart of man Once in ten ages, born to be As haply Christ was, and as we Knew surely, seeing, and worshipped thee.
6.
God, clothed upon with human hours, O face beloved, O spirit adored, Saviour and lord! That wast not only for thine own Redeemer—not of these alone But all to whom thy word was known.
7.
Since last my words took wing for thee Who then wast even as now above Me, and my love. As then thou knewest not scorn, so now With that beloved benignant brow Take these of him whose light wast thou.

# Studies in Song/For a Portrait of Felice Orsini

FOR A PORTRAIT OF FELICE ORSINI
FOR A PORTRAIT OF FELICE ORSINI.
Steadfast as sorrow, fiery sad, and sweet With underthoughts of love and faith, more strong Than doubt and hate and all ill thoughts which throng, Haply, round hope's or fear's world-wandering feet That find no rest from wandering till they meet Death, bearing palms in hand and crowns of song; His face, who thought to vanquish wrong with wrong, Erring, and make rage and redemption meet, Havoc and freedom; weaving in one weft Good with his right hand, evil with his left;
But all a hero lived and erred and died; Looked thus upon the living world he left So bravely that with pity less than pride Men hail him Patriot and Tyrannicide.

United States Supreme Court
80 U.S. 183
Steinbach v. Relief Fire Insurance Company
The only question in this case arises upon the construction of the policy sued upon.
It contained a clause providing that fireworks, among other things, should be specially written in the policy. Otherwise they were not to be covered by the insurance. It is not pretended that fireworks are included under the name of fire-crackers. But the plaintiff contends that they are included in the description of 'other articles in his line of business.' The answer to this is, that the policy itself requires that fireworks shall be specially written in it. They are among the goods described as specially hazardous, and add 50 cents on the $100 to the ordinary rate of insurance.
It is impossible to think they are described by the general terms used in the policy. The insurance was at the ordinary rates. There can be no doubt that the evidence was properly rejected; and the judgment of the Circuit Court must, therefore, be
AFFIRMED.

United States Supreme Court
267 U.S. 226
Stein v. Tip-Top Baking Company
Argued: Jan. 14, 1925. --- Decided: March 2, 1925
This is an action to recover damages for breach of a contract to purchase 80,000 pounds of Badex, a foodstuff. The defendant demurred because, as it alleged, the petition showed that the amount in controversy, exclusive of interest and costs, did not exceed the sum of $3,000, and the action was dismissed by the District Court on that ground. Judicial Code, § 24 (Comp. St. § 991). The case comes here on that single question, as determining the jurisdiction of the District Court.
The material allegations are that the agreed price was $5,800; that at the time of the breach no price could be got for the goods and that they had no value then in the market or elsewhere; that upon the breach the plaintiffs took possession of them as their own, and that nearly a year later they sold the same as their own to third persons for $4,521.95, but it is expressly denied that the plaintiffs sold on behalf of the defendant. The position of the defendant is that the price realized, even if diminished by transportation charges of $620.45, must be deducted from the contract price and leaves less than $3,000. We presume that the District Court took the same view although its opinion referred to in the judgment is not printed as it should have been. Rule 8. But obviously the plaintiffs have a claim that cannot be dismissed as absurd, and on which they are entitled to the judgment of the Court. Their allegations are that on the unjustified refusal of the defendant to accept the Badex they rescinded the transaction, and they argue that when they did so their rights against the defendant became fixed and that what they may have done a year afterwards was wholly their own affair. The cases where instead of rescinding the seller sells for the buyer's account have no application. The breach of contract occurred in Louisville, Kentucky, where possibly the contract was made. If the case is governed by the law of that State, as to which it would be premature to express an opinion, we infer that the plaintiffs' argument probably would be regarded as correct. Zinsmeister v. Rock Island Canning Co., 145 Ky. 25, 31, 139 S. W. 1068. See, further, Dustan v. McAndrew, 44 N. Y. 72, 78; Van Brocklen v. Smeallie, 140 N. Y. 70, 75, 35 N. E. 415. At all events the plaintiffs are entitled to try their case.
Judgment reversed.
