Costly Litigation.

A case involving seventy-fve cents
claimed by man in Toledo to be due
him from another Toledoan for COW feed
has just been appealed from a Justices
court in that city to the Lucas common
pleas. The plaintiff says he will spend
his last dollar to collect the money by
process of law, and the defendant says
he will sacrifice every cent he has in the
fight to resist payment. The result will
probably be that the litigants will spend
several hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
their own money and involve the county
in the expenditure of large sum, all to
crafty their personal i'll feeling There
ought to be provision of law covering
such petty cases, making the decisions
of justices final 1t is an outrage on the
taxpayers to permit the appeal of such
insignificant cases to a higher court,
where valuable time is consumed by
them that should be devoted to more i'm
portant matters, and the county is in
volved in a great expense simply to
crafty the personal spite of obstinate
litigants. Register

Spontaneous Homage to an Artist.

A pretty scene took place on Tuesday
at the art exhibition of Buda-Pesth. A
competition had been opened for mon.
ument to the Hungarians who fought for
freedom in 1913. and nine models are at
present being exhibited pending the de.
cision of the jury. Tuesday fashion
able crowd was discussing the merits OF
the works when pretty young lady,
following a sudden impulse, took little
bunch of violets from her dress and laid
it on the pedestal of one of the models.
All the women present crowded round,
applauding her choice, and each in turn
laid the flower she was wearing on the
plaster model, which is the work of a
young sculptor named Joseph Konas.
Whether he gains the prize or not he has
certainly been distinguished in a very
delicate fashion.-Cor. London News.

Two judges have decided in favor OF
the Tilden will and two judges have de.
clared against it. The case will soon be
argued before the New York court Of
appeals, which will finally decide wheth.
er New York is to have the S., OOO, 0OC
library or whether Tilden's great bequest
is to be absorbed by his nephews.
No man doubts that it was Mr.. Til
den's purpose and intention to found a
great public library with his money.
he carefully executed a trust for that
purpose, and died in the belief that the
bequest was so well guarded that his
heirs could not have it set aside by any
bubble of the law. And yet a purpose
so plain and unmistakable has been de-
clared invalid by two judges, who inter
pref a law which is described as ''the
perfection of common sense"
1t is this extremely technical interpre-
tation of the laws provisions on the part
of law judges that justifies the presence
of lay judges on the bench of New Jer-
sey Among the lay judges of the New
Jersey court of appeals there would not
be two opinions regarding the intentions
of Mr.. Tilden in the testament he exc
cuted prior to his death. They would
unanimously decide in favor of the will.
And so, in fact, would our law judges,
who have on some notable occasions
demonstrated that with them law is, in
deed, the perfection of common sense

A curious phenomenon is to be wit
messed at the Ames' crevssse, and, in
deed, is one of the causes of the great
damage it has done. Under any circum-
stances the water from this crevasse
would overflow the rich country lying be
tween it and the gulf Of Mexico, causing
damage to the amount of several million
dollars; but to the surprise of many, not
content with running down stream and

Twas but a touch from lips,
whose rare-ripe crimson
Had stolen all the summer
roses bloom,
But yielded back in fragrant
balmy breathing
Their wondrous sweet perfume
Twas but a glance, one exquis-
tie brief moment
Two liquid dreamy eyes gazed
full IN mine,
Then quickly fell their silken
fringed curtains,
And yelled their splendor,
lucent, dark, divine.
While into pcariy cheeks, a ten
der flushing
Crept up. and deepened meath
my ardent gaze,
So the soft pink, a rose buds
early blushing,
Deepens 70 crimson meath the
Day-God's rays.
Ny arm held close the slender
girlish figure,
The round waist flexile as q
willow wan,
And on my shoulder, Ikea tint
cd snowflake
She shyly laid a dimple little
hand.
And then, for one brief exquis-
ito half second
Two glowing velvet lips were
pressed 10 mine
And from their ruby brink |
quaffed exquisite
Intoxicating draughts oflove's
rare wine.
Twas but one moment, yet the
wealth Of Ophir
Would not avail, TO buy the
memory, even,
OF that instant when | stood
enchanted
Within the rosy portals OF

Stream Greek.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your CORES
pondent will attempt to write q
lew lines thinking that your
many readers will not object to
reading something occasionally
from the rural district.
Stones Greek from the oldest
land grants seems to have been
named after Edward Stone one
of its first settlers about A. ID.
1880, who owned, lived and
died upon a farm now owned
by the wife of your correspond
ent; and his remains were buried
near the banks of the beautiful
ripping stream that bears his
name.
The line which divided Lord
Carterel's, afteward the Earl Of
Granville's part Of the erritory
of Carolina, the other eleven
prospectors having sold, out to
King George, passed through
this section, crossing this creek
running south. Your readers
are aware that two of our coun-
ties were name after this pros
pector. Your correspondent
only wishes that the county
line was about the same place,
for in that case, we would be in
IA live county.
Durham has helped this sec
tion within the last 10 years
more than it ever was helped,
for it affords us a good market
for all our produce, and with a
good and well executed system
of road laws, it affords us good
roads, one which to travel. 1t
is not unfrequently that you
hear the remark that this or
that place is on a boom; now we
often hear it Of Durham, and
Durham has doomed until the
echo seems to be reaching us
here. Your readers have per-
haps heard of the land purchase
made on this creek by one of
Durham's most enterprising cit
liens, Mr.. b. N. Duke, he hav-
ing purchased Mr.. s. G.. Stay
horns tract and a portion Of an
other tract, and / learn he has
offered thirty dollars per acre
for part OF another tract. We
need more such moneyed and
enterprising men in this Sec
ton. OF the healthfulness of
this section and of its agricul-
tural advantages and its adapta-
ton to the various crops, your
correspondent may say ,me-
thing of in the future should il
be thought to be of interest to
your readers. Yours truly,

A Beautiful sentiment.

Clasp the hands meekly owe,
the still bresst- they've no more
work To do, close the weary eyes
they've no more tears to shed;
part the damp lock there's nc
more pain to bear. Closed alike
to loves kind voice and col
umny's singing whisper.
o, if in the still heart you
have ruthlessly planted a thorn;
If from that pleading eye you
have carelessly turned away;
if your loving glance and kindly
word, and clasping hand, have
come -ali too late-then God
forgive you! No frow gathers
on that marble brow as you
gaze no scorn curls the chiseled
lips no flush of wounded feel
ings mounts to the blue yeined
temples.
God forgive you. for your
feet too much shrink appalled,
from deaths cold river--your
faltering tongue asks: aCan
this be death.r Your fading
eye fingers lovingly on the sun
ny earth, your clammy hands
feel its last feeble fiutter.
@, rapacious grave. vet an
other victim for thy voiceless
keeping. What. no words of
greeting from the household
sleepers? No warm welcome
from a mothers loving. lips. No
throb Of pleasure from the dear
material bosom. Silent all.
o, If these broken limbs were
never gathered up! IL beyond
deaths swelling flood there
were no eternal shore. If for
the struggling bark there were
no port Of peacel If athwart
that lowering cloud sprang no
bright bow OF promise!
Alas for love, if this be all;
And naught beyond.
