LAW FOR raE PEOPLE.


A corporation is liable for DANA
ges for the wrongful acts of its ser
wants. t -.
There is no such property in dogs
as makes them the subject of lar
ceny.
When a driver attempts to pass
another going the same direction on
a public road, he does so at his per-
il, and is responsible for all DANA
ges which he may cause to the one
whom he attempts to pass, and
whose right to the road is as good
as his own.
a schOol-teacher has the right,
when necessary, to chastise his pu-
pills; and this is so, though the pu-
pill be over ii years of age, if he
voluntarily attends school.
A contract tainted with fraud is
not binding on the party innocent
of fraud.
No purchaser, however innocent,
can acquire a good title to- stolen
goods and the owner can recover
the value of the same from any
party who has converted to his own
use by consumption, sale or trans
fer.
Parties to a mortgage may legally

ney's fees in case of a default and
foreclosure; and such an agneement
on the part of the mortgagor, isnot
usurious.
To take advantage of a mans ne
ceSsitieS, is as bad as to take advan'
tage of his weakness.
The notice of dissolution of a part
nership in a newspaper, is sufficient
as to all persons who had no previ

Any alteration of an instrument
by the party claiming an interes

One who RECEIVERS land in an ac

A deed absolute on its face, bu
given to secure payment OF money
is in effect a mortgage.
Warranty of goods after the salt

ing to do and how he would make
mincR-meat out of Jim Jones, Jim
would quickly say, 81 will run Bill
off of that field"
The proposed duel was, of course,
profound secret, but, like most
secrets of the kind, II spread far and
wide, but always under the lock
and key of secresy. When the fatal
day came, as fatal days always do
sooner or later, more than hundred
men were on the ground fully two
hours before the time of battle
came. 1t. is wonderful what inter-
est a fight of any Kind, even n dog
fight, will stir up in the bosoms of
some men. Ten minutes before the
time Bill Smith rode UP on his side
of the field, where those had gath
cred who sided with him in this
affray. He was dressed up within
an inch of his life, and his fine
horse, now richly eaparisOned new
er showed so we'll before. Bills
friends thought him the very inn
personation of chivalry and true
courage, and could not repress a
cheer as he rode upon the ground,
his.new sword cleaning in the sun
Presently Jim Jones rode up
among his friends on his side of the
field, astride of bob-tailed Indian
pony, known to be twenty years
old. His whole outfit, sword and
all, was in keeping with the pony
he rode. Hanging across his sad
die were six old tin pans and twelve
large gOurds-three pans and six
gOurds on each side of his pony. A
broad smile spread over Jim's face
as curious eyes began to peer at his
turnout A deep voice said, An,
boys, that is Jim Jones exactly
he will win the day."
After some little parleying, the
seconds always willing parties to
the crime of dueliAg) gave the word
of command from their station In
the center of the field. The con-
testants started at gallOp, though
Jim Jones had hard work to get
his bob-tailed pony under way.
They came swOoping down upon
each other, Jim's tin pans and
gourds making a most unearthly
| noise. When about one hundred
yards apart, Bill Smiths fine horse
stopped short, threw up his head
and began to snort ominously. In
a moment more, he took the bit in
his teeth, and broke off obliquely
across the field as if running for his
life. Jim Jones filed right after
him, calling out at the top of his
voice, "Stop, Bill, Pm not going to
hurt yOu-stop, Bill, and let's make
friends" The company joined in
the race, which was continued for a
mile and a half, when the pony
gave out, and Jim had to stop. The
friends of both parties came up,
convulsed with laughter, and
crowned Jim Jones as the "prince
of jokers," and urged Bill Smith to
an amieable adjustment of the mat
ter, as it would be pity to kill q
fellow as good-natured as Jim
Jones. They made friends and
lived and died on good TERMS
This duel cured Bill Smith of his
pride, and helped to make man OF
him. This was the first and only
duel ever fought in Winston county

A baby form OF gentlest grace
Tonight I held upon my kneei
A smiling little cherub face
watNhed In all its infant Rlee.
The baby eyes were blue and brights
The BABY face was passtng fair,
And on the baby brow 30 white
Were tiny rings ofelnstering hair.
But while watched its merry play
So innocent and sweet to see
The memory of a lOng-gone day
Rolled with its sadness over me.
For when I saw the babys eyes,
And heard It's voice SC, sweet aud low
A form before my gaze would rise
A form loved long years ago.
For had loved fair young girl
Whose eyes were blue and bright as TINS
And on whose brow the clustering eurA
Tempted, as now, my ardent kiss.
The same blue eye, the same Drown halFs
The same high brow of noble men,
WAS in the baby smiling there
Which i'm my loved one had seen.

The dear ex uression which II wore
THE same hfch marked, in stateiier grace,

She must have known, II seemed 70 me-

A tour to the lake,

Getting ready for work,
And ready for play;
Getting ready for something
Each day
Getting ready for joy,
For excitement and mlrth-
Getting ready for gossip
All the sunshine of earth.
Getting ready for pleasure
Again and again
But never getting ready
For pain
Getting ready to drive
Sharp bargains in trade
Getting ready for wealth

Getting ready TO win
By the means We use,
But never getting ready
To lose
Getting ready for home,
For husband OF wife
Getting ready for children,
For honor and life;
Getting ready for fame
With its vanishing breath
But hardly getting ready
For death

Huntington HawkeYe 10 a Young
FUan.

Remember, son, that the world is
older than you are by several years;
that for thousands of years it has
been so full of smarter and better
young men than yourself that their
feet stuck out of the dormOr win
dows; that when they died the old
globe went whirling on, and not one
man in ten millions went to the flu
neral. Don't be too sorry for your
father because he knows SO much
less than you do. Remember the
reply of DIR. Wayland to the student
of Brown University, who said it
was easy enough to make proverbs
such as Solomon wrote. make a
few" terseiy replied the old man.
The world has great need of young
men, but no greater need than the
young men have of ii. Your clothes
fit you better than your fathers fit
him; they cost more money and
they are more stylish; your mus
tache is neater, the cut of your hair
isbetter. But, young man, the old man
gets the biggest salary, and his
homely, scrambling signature on
the business end of a check will
drain more money out of the bank
in FIVE minutes than you could get
out with ream of paper and cop
perplate signature in six months.
