A Cows Victory Over an Alligator.

ing. Upon going to the bank of the
river and looking on the opposite side he
saw, on q sand-oar, an alligator, q COW,
and a calf. The alligator had the COW
and calf between itself and the river.
He made dart for the calf, when the
cow rushed between them, and fearful
fight ensued. While this was racing
the calf got into the woods and faced
about, bleating plaintively. The alliga-
tor was not more than seven feet long,
and struck at the COW furiously with It's
tail. The COW avoided as many of these
blows as possible, but yet received quite
a number, one of which knocked her
rolling over for about ten feet. The
alligator rushed upon her with open
mouth, and tried to seize her by the
nose, but she was up in time to catch it
upon the horn under the throat, and
threw it over backward, and before it
could get another lick at her or defend
itself she was on it again; tossing it high
into the air, it fell into the water with
splash, and did not venture to the land
again. The cow, after rushing around
looking for the enemy, ran to her calf

The Trade.Mark Law invalid.

By deciding on Monday that the statute
providing for the registry of trademarks
and prescribing a criminal penalty for their
fraudulent use is unconstitutional in whole
and ia part, the Supreme Court at Washing.
ton mp anset extensive system of mercantile
rights at home and abroad. The subject
came before the court on division of opin-
ion in the New York Circuit Court and an
appeal from decision in Ohio. A District
Court in the west some months ago decided
that the act for the registry of trademarks
was unconstitutional, but no appeal was
taken, and the pstent-ofice at Washington
went on with its work. The decision
by the Supreme Court apparently cuts up
the: present system by the roots. The ex.
isting law provides for the registry of trade.
marks at Washington on the payment of
fee Of twenty-five dollars, and gives the
owner of q trademark more efficient protec.
ton than is enjoyed even by patentee. A
liberal provision of the law allowed the
privilege of registry to the trademarks
owned by the citizens of any country
which permitted registry to American
trademarks. Prior to the passage of the
law the recognition of foreign trademarks
had been secured by treaties with some
European countries, and conventions con.
vering the subject have bee n negotiated with
nearly all European countries since 1870.
ed. So far as foreign and domestic rights
In trademarks are secured by federal regis
try they will be impaired by this decision,
but IL must not be overlooked that the right
Of property in trademarks is recognized by
the common law. Every trader and manu-.
fscturer has q right, which the courts
will protect, in the distinctive mark
by which he designates his goods. The col.
lapse OF the special registry act for uncon.
stitutionality simply makes the protection
OF trademarks more difficult, but il does
not deprive them Of value, and the law still
stands ready to guard customers against the
fraudulent use of trademarks. There will
be q general interest IN lea ming the grounds
Of this decision. The federal statute was
passed In the attempt apparently to assim-
Hate the rights Of invention and rade.rsark,
two widely different things, and was cur.
rently based on the power given congress to
provide for patent and copyright and to
regulate commerce.
