Nor do not saw the air too much with the willow
But make safe hits. Then run as torrents run
TIL you have reached first base. Oh it offends
Me to the soul to stout. red-legged,

Slide, though you split your breechings, and do
make
lnexphcabe dumb shows of yourselves, and need
The kindly cover of linen buster. Slide!
Be not too tame neither in fielding. Let
Discretion be your tutor. Pitch hot balls,
Not in the manner of the only Nolan,
But more like Bond. If, in the short-stop's place.
You mutt grounder, or drop fly,
Though 1t may make the unskiIlful crowd to laugh,
1t still will cause judicious friends to grieve.

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

a lapse that seemed to him dreadful, af-
ter long years of prayer and struggle,

INTERESTING LEGAL DECISIONS.
A Railroad Company May Kill Horses With
out Paying for Them, Under Certain Cir
cumstances-The Liability of Express

Railroad Company May Kill Horses With
out Paying for Them, Under Certain Cir
conference.-the 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 & Colby Construction Com
pany, operating the Wisconsin Central
railroad. The court holds that a rail
road company may by express contract
limit it's liability in the carriage of
horses; that possession by shipper of
carriers receipt for the property, con-
tanning special terms, is at least prima-
facle 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 $50.
r., signifying "Owner's Risk" were
upon the receipt given to the plaintiff,
which he 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. It further ap-
pears IN the case that the injury to
plaintiffs horses was caused by the
breaking OF car-wheel under the train,
which threw the car containing the plain
tltf's 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 G. O.
d. 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. It is also gen.
orally decided that common carrier is
not bound by its 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"

Romantic Story with a Moral.

Some three years ago, very wealthy
man of Newark, N. j., had wild and
wsyward son. The father conceived the
idea of sending him On cruise to Aus
tralia, and he accompanied the young
gentleman as 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
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 bis
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 I 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 SO they are now
firm in matrimonial bonds. He is 81
and she is 28.-Chacoq0 Inter Ocean.

HOrSeWhipping.

There was perhaps q time when horse
whipping had sort of meaning. When
all gentleman wore swords, to attack a
man with whip meant that he did not
deserve steel. Even so, nothing was alb
solutely proved by the assault, and the
person whipped may have been in a
better position than he is atpresent. 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 a
fashion. The acquaintance of man as
saulted are convinced that he is in the
wrong, and he has no appeal, and no
remedy. It is, of course, necessary to
say that no one ever tries to horsewhip
another who could, if he chose, arise and
slay him with his hands. Saturday Re-

"A Giant Cannon.

Some OF Krupp's new cannon were

THE STORY OF THE TILES.

Before quaint old Fireplace,
Full fifty years ago,
Dear grandma and l, child,
it'll locks of gold ana snow,
Looked, our two heads together
She sitting in her chair
And erect beside her
A comfortable pair.
For while within the freight our eyes were lit with
smiles
She told her little grandson the story of the tiles.
Here was a knight in armor,
A brave old lord was he
He won full tosome battles
In many a far countree;
And here, his lite 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 be-
guiles,
Now fairy lore she weaveth in her story Of the tiles
The stork with leg uplifted;
The Windmill on the plain;
The sun with rays of azure;
The sheaf of ripened grain,
We're each theme for story, re
- For song or comic verse,
And merrily and often
Did grandma these rehearse.
For quips and quirks were grandma's and cranks,
and Wanton WileS,
When she got a-teng her stories Of the tiles.
The fireplace stands unshaken;
The milkmaid trips 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 English-fre-plac I've wandered many
miles,
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 SUN spotless record how many fault de-
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 pay-room
And down the echoing hall,
find myself while waiting
To catch them in my arms,
Thinking the stories
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 very close estimate at glance,
but other persons would make the Wild
est guesses. An inexperienced person
may proceed as follows: Measure out
four square rods OF 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 a cord to every

diameter and thirty feet high to the
limbs will make cord of wood, if it is
growing in close timber, and the limbs

One is Afraid and Others dare not.

1t is little amusing to see how ten
DERBY some of our contemporaries in East
ern Washington treat the subject of
State Constitution. They seem afraid
to oppose it lest they may run counter
to public opinion. They hesitate to ad.
vocate it lest they may be found in a
minority when the vote is taken, and
yet if they were told they were not in-
dependent journals, they would take of.
Tense. They seem to have no fixed
opinions of their own to express upon
the measure. They seem to trim their
sails for the purpose of catching what
ever breeze that blows the strongest
How are the people to be enlightened
upon the reasons pro and con unless the
press discuss the question. DO not the
people look to the press to advocate both
the points in favor and against for their
consideration. We have none too much
time between this and November, the
time OF the election, to canvass this ques-
ton, and for our part We would be
pleased to have the DIRECTORS to State
government for Washington put those
objections in print that they may be
fairly considered and answered, if they
are answerable, if not then let them tri-
umph. There is nothing mythical
about the question that men need fear
to discuss it before the people, and in
our judgement there is no question
which more deeply concerns the people
Of Washington than does that of wheth
or or not they shall assume the duties,
obligations and advantages of State
government. Hence we would be glad
to sec our contemporaries discuss it fully,
calmly aud fairly.
