A Railroad Company May XIII Horses with
our Paying for Them, Under Certain Cir
cumstances-The Liability of Express
Commands.

A Railroad Company May XIII Horses With
out Paying for Them, Under Certain Cir
cumstances-Ihe Liability of Express
Companies.
An important decision of the Wiscon-
sin Supreme Court relates to the liability
OF railroad companies for horses injured
while being transported on the cars.
The case Is that of Morrison VS. the
Phillips q Colby Construction Com
pany, operating the Wisconsin Central
railroad. The court holds that a rail-
road company may by express contract
limit its liability in the carriage of
horses; that possession by shipper of
carriers receipt for the property, con-
tanning special terms, is at least prima-
facie evidence of his assent to such
terms, and In most cases may be regard
ed as conclusive; that when the railroad
company's usage was to carry horses at
owners risk, giving reduced rates for
that reason, and where the letters go.
H." signifying "Owner's Risk" were
upon the receipt given to the plaintiff,
which ne retained and put in evidence
on the trial, he, the plaintiff, testifying
that he did not see the letters (not that
he did not understand their meaning),
it is held that the limitation on the COM
pany's liability clearly appears from the
plaintiffs testimony. 1t further APP
pears in the case that the injury to
plaintiffs horses was caused by the
breaking OF car-wbeel under the train,
which threw the Car containing the plain
tiffs horses from the track, the track be-
ing In good order and the wheel having
been used but short time, and show
ing, on inspection after the break, no
flaw or defect, and there being no evil
dence, except the breaking of the wheel,
that tended to show negligence on the
part of the company, it was decided that
it was not an error for the Circuit Judge
to direct verdict for the defendant.
In the case of Wells VS.. The American
Express Company. it appears that the
plaintiff had shipped goods directly by
railroad to the purchaser, in the care of
the express company's agent at that
point, but the goods did not come into
the agents possession, but were deliv-
cred directly to the purchaser by the
railroad company, without fault of the
express company or it's agent. A @. o.
u. bill OF the goods was sent to the agent
but not collected, and was promptly re-
turned. 1t is decided by the Wisconsin
Supreme Court that, by those acts, no
liability of the express company to the
consignor was created. 1t is also gen.
orally decided that common carrier is
not bound by it's agents knowledge or
notice of facts outside of his duties and
employment as such agent, and the court
in addition imply that If the agent of
an express company receives goods con-
signed to him as such for delivery to the
purchaser, and having in his hands for
collection at the same time bill for the
price of such goods, delivers them to
the purchaser, the company becomes
liable to the consignor, whether the
agent in fact collects the bill or not"

away, the boy opened q little side gate
into the lot where he had previously
driven the old ram, and, laying train OF
salt to big lump ON the doorstep, re-
treated speedily to the kitchen and knelt
down next to Mr.. Garter, where he had
left his chair. Billy had seen the tin
pan in tensions hand, and knew it
meant salt; he followed the train surely
to the door, and, having begun to nibble
the lump, heard an earnest and accus-
toned voice near by and looked up into
the kitchen door. Jason was praying
earnestly, and the rest had their eyes
closed and heads bent-all but Jenison,
who was watching Billy from under his
arm. AS he saw the ram look in, he
picked up short switch from under his
chair and held it threateningly over his
uncle's back. Billy gave one great leap
across the floor, charged Uncle Jase in
the rear, and sent him sprawling.
ed that ram T. he roared, in a
voice of thunder.
Jack and Dan sprang up at once, drove
Billy out and shut the door, but before
they could speak their father was on his
knees again, pouring out such earnest,
humble confession of the sin he had been
betrayed into, such fearful petition for
pardon, such heartfelt contrition for
lapse that seemed to him dreadful, af-
ter long years of prayer and struggle,
that hard and bad as Jenison Wires was,
he could not bear it; it was the turning
point of the boys life; he got up from
his knees and confessed the whole thing
to his uncle, and asked his forgiveness;
and the other boys cried heartily.
Jason Garter never forgot that day;
it was remembered with humility and
thankfulness both; for years after Jeni-
son told him, with deep feeling, that he
had learned then and there to respect re-
igion, and that is the first step toward
desiring and obtaining it.
Jenison never claimed his bet, but
when he went home gave Dan his knife
for a remembrance; and years after Dea-
con Jason Carter was dead and gone, his
step-son recalled with affection, rever-
ence and amusement mingled, the only
oath they ever heard him speak, and
how it was brought about by tensions
bet.-Rose Terry Cooke, in Sunday

A Tale of a RamrON.

The Elmira advertiser has sufficient
confidence in n correspondent at Ulster,
Pa, to feel warranted to tell this story:
" Last Sunday, as party of the Grand
Army Of the Republic boys were visiting
a portion of the Gettysburg battle field,
near the spot where the gallant Gen.
Reynolds fell, one of the boys said he
remembered while he was in the hottest
of the fight and loading his rifle, his
ramrOd became fast IN his gun 30 he
could not extract it; so, putting on q
cap, he 'let silver Mt a rebel Being
close to him, he WAS certain the rod
went through him. just beyond the
rebel stood tree, which he thought he
could find, if still standing. SO the
boys proposed to go with him and look.
After searching short time he discov-
cred his tree, and the identical ramrod
deeply imbedded in its body. 1t is
somewhat of a miraculous circumstance
that he should have been 80 lucky as to
find it"

A Romantic Story with a Moral.

Some three years ago, very wealthy
man of Newark, n. j., had a wild and
hayward son. The father conceived the
idea of sending him on cruise to Aus
tralia, and he accompanied the young
gentleman rs far as Sandy Hook to
make sure of his departure. After
three years the peace of the father was
disturbed by the return OF his son, who
who brought baggage in the shape of
numerous debts. The father, after q
short time, thought that change of eli
mate would do his son good, and accord
ingly gave him through ticket to San
Francisco. The young man thought it
would be courteous to stop and see his
uncle in Chicago, and accordingly did
so. He arrived last Friday and immedi-
diately betook himself to the house of
his relative. Now this uncle has hired
girl who has been serving him for four
years past. She is English, has had
fair education, and possesses good
looks. The young mans affections soon
left his uncle and transferred themselves
to the serving maid. Tuesday the
young man informed his uncle that he
had fixed his choice. The uncle, on
hearing this, used some forcible Ian
guage, and telegraphed to the father,
who answered, "Let him do as he
pleases, but 1 hope the girl is able to
support him." The uncle bid the
young man good-by yesterday morning,
and gave the girl marching orders in the
afternoon. But nothing could separate
the fond couple, and 30 they are now
firm in matrimonial bonds. He is 81
and she is 28.-Chica9o Inter Ocean.

HOrSeWliipping.

There was perhaps time when horse
whipping had sort of meaning. When
all gentleman wore swords, to attack q
man with q whip meant that he did not
deserve steel. Even 80, nothing was alb
solutely proved by the assault, and the
person whipped may have been in a
better position than he is at present. He
might try his chance in the duel, which,
though quite as irrational as the other
ordeal, was not absolutely contest set
tied by brute force. Now, when duels
are out of fashion, horsewhippings should
be punished with extreme severity and
in some degrading way. They are the
most brutal and ridiculous of all modes
OF begging the question. The odd thing
is that they are still successful, after 3
fashion. The acquaintances of man as
saulted are convinced that he is in the
wrong, and he has no appeal, and no
remedy. 1t is, of course, necessary to
say that no one ever tries to horsewhip
another who could, if he chose, arise and
Stay him with his hands. Saturday Re-

Before quaint old fireplace
Full Atty years ago,
Dear grandma and 1, child,
With locks OF gold ana snow,
Looked, our two heads together
She sitting In her chair -l
And erect beside her
A comfortable pair. =. Ia,
For while within the frehght our eyes were III WIN
Che told her little grandson the story of the tales.
Here was o knight in armor,
brave old lord was he
He won full toilsome battles
In many a far countree;
And here, his lutte with ribbons
Trimmed bravely, fond and true
Beneath his lady's easement
Sang troubadour In blue.
Now with pure fact or fancy dear grandma TIME Dc
Now fairy lore she weaveth her story of the tiles
The stork with leg uphfted;
The wind mill ON the plain;
The sun with rays OF azure;
The sheaf of ripened grain,
Were each theme for story,
For song or comic verse,
And merrily and often
Did grandma these rehearse.
For quips and quirks were grandmas, and cranks
When once she got a-teing her stories of the tiles
The fireplace stands unshaken;
The milkmaid trips so gay,
To meet the fat old beadle,
Who always looks her way;
The frog who went a-wooing
Still peeps out at the crane,
But grandma with her stories
Will never come again.
From that old Engish-hre-plaoe I've wandered many
miles, 80 49,,
But still my heart remembers the stories of the tiles.
Like that old knight in armor
Brave must be, she said,
And courteous as the singer
To every wife and maid;
Industrious and cheerful
AS the milkmaid on the lea,
And prayerful and religious
AS the beadle ought TO be.
Alas! sucn spotless record how many fault de-
files!
I've proved sorry hero for her stories of the tiles
But still when night is falling,
And chidren's voices call
Across the pleasant play-room
And down the echoing hall,
find myself while waiting
To catch them in my arms,
Thinking the stories over
With all their varied charms;
And then when grouped around me, their lips are
wreathed with smiles,
tell their great grandmothers sweet stories Of the
tiles.

To Estimate the Amount OF Cord Wood
In an Acre.

To estimate the quantity Of cord wood
on an acre Of wood land requires expe-
rience. A person who has been engaged
in clearing land and cutting wood could
give a very close estimate at q glance,
but other persons would make the wild.
est guesses. An inexperienced person
may proceed as follows: Measure out
four square rodso ground; that is, thir-
ty-three feet each way, and count the
trees, averaging the cubic contents as
near as possible of the trunks, and add
ing one-fourth of this for the limbs.
Then, as 1913 cubic feet make cord, and
the plot is one-fourth of an acre, the re-
suit is easily reached. Fairly good tim
Der land should yield cord to every
four square rods. A tree two feet in
diameter and thirty feet high to the
limbs will make cord of wood, if it is
growing in close timber, and the limbs
