scarce, so was glad to get any thing
to do, especially as had an aged moth
er depending upon me for support.
One dark, drizzly November night
and nearly all November nights are
dark-the stage for Ray bury broke down
hopelessly, fifteen miles from its desti-
nation. OF course, the accident hap
pened in just the worst part of the
road, where it was next to impossible
to get carriage of any kind, and where
the only place of entertainment was a
rude g-house, dignified by the name of
the Jefferson Inn.
Mr.. Griggs, the landlord of the tav-
ern, was soon on the spot, and gave it as
his opinion that the passengers had bet
ter go to his house for the night, but as
some half dozen of them were deter
tive but to get out an old express wagon,
which was stacked away in remote
shed, and dispatch them on their way.
The stage horses were made available,
and the passengers piled in with selfish
haste; and long before could get my
valise ous of the ruins of the stage and
reach the wagon, it had rumbled off and
left me, with half-dozen more, behind.
1t was absolutely necessary that I
should be in Raybury that night, else I
should cause serious inconvenience at
the bank the next morning. And as I
had been SO often congratulated on my
promptitude in my business, felt very
10th to be behindhand now. spoke to
Mr.. Griggs about it, and asked if it
were not possible for him to let me have
horse for Raybury. would pay him
literally and return the animal in good
condition the next day. But he only
shook his head. He had only one horse
in his stable, he said, and Mrs. Griggs
was subject to dreadful spells of the
colic and might be taken at any hour,
and he made it rule o. his life never to
let Digby 60 out of the stable for fear
Mrs. Griggs might be seized and die be-
fore the doctor could be brought.
Under the circumstances, of course l
could not urge my request for the use
of Digby, and there was no CHI ance for
me to get to Raybury until the eleven
o'clock stage next day, unless I footed
It, and that should not for a moment
have hesitated to do, had it not been for
the fact that the road to Raybury was
the vilest in the country. always felt
like swearing when rode over it, and

quotesa decision of the Iowa Supreme
Court in January of last year, as to
what constitutes an original package
which in the light Of the recent U. S.
Supreme Court decision becomes of
great importance, and is now made to
fit different phase of the case than
then intended. 1t is to the effect that
those who import liquors into Iowa
as sold in original packages, need not
have each bottle or package sent
separately, but for the sake of con-
venience can have bottles for differ
ent purchasers all packedin the same
box. And II the sellers interest or
convenience would be better served
by shipping into the state in cars fit
ted up with tanks or other vessels.

at the end of the voyage, he had the
right, in the absence of statutory
legislation, to adopt that mode of
transportation. If he had the right
to sell the liquors in the state because
Of their purchase and transportation
was q matter of national juris-
diction, it follows necessarily
he had the right to make the sales in
whatever form or quantity he saw
fit.' So this decision, which Is in the

means committee, which is respons-
tble for the Mckinley bill: 1.-THE
bill is finally before the house. The
members Of the committee have de.

OF trusts and syndicates bearing their
tariff commandments in their hands.
They have prepared u measure which
while seemingly dropping a cent into

little. Nearly all OF the cheap gov
eminent lands have been sold, and

is increasing at the rate of Z, 200, 600 a
