Important TO those who Hire
Horses, #.I.


A case Of considerable interest 10 lend
ers and borrowers Of horses was decided
In the Paterson IN. J.) District Court by
Judge Hooper, yesterday afternoon. On
Easter Monday last Richard o,erdii liking,
a minor, hired ahorse from JOhR Thomp-
son TO take Susan Van Hauten to Little
Falls, four miles distant, 10 spend the
afternoon and return early in the even
ing. When he got to Little Falls. he
concluded TO 60 further, and drove on to
Newark, 10 or IL miles beyond, and did
not get back to Paterson until 8 or 10
O'Clock, when the horse was found 70 be
In very bad condition from overdriving,
and died the next morning. The invari-
able remedy Of New Jersey In such cases
is by an action on the case Of violation Of
contract, but the counsel for plaintiff
brought his action for trover and conver-
sion, which he thought safe course in
suing an infant. BE claimed that the
moment 0verdijking drove the horse be-
yond Little Falls he not only violated his
contract but that he was guilty oil con.
verting the horse to his own use., The
defense strenuously objected to this, but
the court sustained the claim, and the
facts being proved, found the defendant
guilty Of trover and conversion, and as.
tessed the damages at 5000 In favor Of
plaintiff. It is said TO be the fret action
Of the kind ever tried in New Jersey at
least, there Is none reported In the books.
The defendant (for whom the court had
appointed guardian to defend the sui.)
10 liable to be imprisoned under this
judgement OF tho court In an action Of
tort, until the amount awarded is'paid.
Probably nine men out Of ten who hire
horses would be equally Liable 10 suits for
trover and conversion (which 10 the civil
courts phrase for stealing Of the hacks

A Cure For islander

The following very homely but singular instructive lesson is St. Philip Neri:
 1 A iady presented herself to him one day, accusing herself of being given to slaGder. "Do you ire quentlI' fSa into this faulsgo ln- quired the saint. AYes Father, very often, replied the peniteht.
 My dear child, r said the saint, your fault is great, but the mercy of God IS still greater; for your penance do as follows 'sGo to the nearest market, purchase a chicken just killed and covered with feathers; you vii lbthe9 Ralk Do q ceftain dls- tance, plueking the bird as you 20 along your walk finished you wlil return to me.
 Great was be to1ishmenfOf the lady in receiving so strange J pen ance but slenclpg all human reason she replied, .'I wlll obey, Father, will obey. Accordingly y she repaired to the market, bought the fowl and set out on her journey, plucking 1t as she went along, as she had been ordered.
 la a short time she returned anxious to tell of her exactness n accomplishing Der Penapee, and de- slrous to receive some explanation so singular. ak NAA 10
 ~Ah!o said the saint, you have been very faithful to the first part of my orders, now 50 the second part and you will be cured. Retrace your steps, pass through all the places you have aIrealy trayersed, 5 and gather up one by one all the feathers you haye. scattered.

FARMERsvILLE, July 90,

IARmEhbN WILLIE, July lOy 1910.
The parish convention assembled at the
courthouse at 10 O'clock Tuesday morning
and went into temporary organization by
calling Mr.. d. l.. Hicks to the chair and
Messrs. g. A. Killgore, Jr., and e. d. Wallace,
secretaries.
Mr.. J. d. Hamilton was elected as perma-
nent chairman, and Messrs. Killgore and
Wallace were retained as permanent secre-
taries.
On motion the chairman appointed one
delegate from each ward as a cOmmitte on
resolutions, viz: W. A, Darby, j. I. Kennedy,
}. III. Cobb j. j. Bodies, II. E. Mosely, JAS
per Holloway.
When the committee on resolutions report
ed some animated discussion took place upon
that resolution recommending the adoption Of
the constitutional amendments, Mr.. Geo. A.
killgore opposing the amendments referring
TO the judiciary, and Senator Ellis approving,
and, of course, favoring the resolution. The
resolutions were, however, adopted. They
indorse the Nichols government, recommend
the adoption of the proposed constitutional
amendments, oppose the agitation OF the con-
Btitutional convention question, and If it be
agitated in the State Convention, instruct
delegates to vote against a convention. They
are uninstruCted, however, as to their votes
for State Treasurer and Congressman. The
resolutions close by appealing to the voters of
the parish TO rally to the Democratic stand
ard in the approaching campaign.
Delegates were then elected to the State
Convention, as follows:
q. I'll. Ellis, John NJ. Rabun, E. T. Sellars,
