Jne loss, and, as Tne pest defense In view
of all the facts, decided to insist upon
the observation of the provision of the
policy in question.
Application was made to magistrate
by the assured, as required by the
policy, but the magistrate refused to
certify that he believed the insured had
honestly sustained loss, and the assured
was unable. therefore, to comply with
the requirements of the law.
The insured was, therefore, required
in order to succeed in his &C
ton against the insurance company
to have the provision of the policy de-
clared void, and the suit was conducted
with that end in view
The supreme court, in its decision,
held that, ''The furnishing of this GER
tificate, if required, is condition prece-
dent to the right of the insured to re-
cover, and that his inability to furnish
it, because of the refusal of the magis-
trate OF notary public, for any cause
whatever to give it, will not relieve OF
excuse him from performance of the
condition" The court further said,
that, "Whi1e the doctrine that such
stipulations are valid and constitute a
condition precedent to the insured's
right to recover, is unquestionably
sound in principle, yet, as they operate
harshly in practice, they have, in some
states, been expressly or implicitly pro-
hibited by statutes regulating the form
of policies. But there is no room in this
state for holding such conditions void or
unreasonable for they have been incorpo-
rated into the Minnesota standard pol
icy by the insurance commissioner under
the authority vested by him in law"
The Legislature to Blame.
It will be seen therefore that whatever
cause for criticism may attach to the
facts of the case, they should be aimed
at the legislature rather than the court.

briefly summarized as follows:
1t is urged that it has evinced an
undue friendliness to corporations; the
charge having been made, even, that its
decisions have at times been actuated
by corrupt considerations.
Now, what is the truth?
In the course Of the past ten years, to
restrict the inquiry within moderate
bounds, many cases involving corporate
interests have come before that court,
and it is a very conservative estimate.
that in not more than three cases out of
every ten where such interests have
been involved have corporations been
successful.
During the past six years questions of
the taxation of railroad lands have come
before the court. Certain of these
roads, holding land grants, had at
tempted by means of trust deeds and
otherwise to avoid the assessment of
their lands, and succeeded for many
years in thus deluding the assessor and
defrauding the public. A number of
suits were instituted few years ago
with view to determining the taxa
bility of such lands. The interests of
the railroads were ably defended in the
courts of the state, and were eventually
determined by the supreme court. As
the result of the final adjudication of
those questions many thousands of acres
of land, which had Heretofore escaped
taxation, were ordered
Placed Upon the Assessment Books;
and, not only that, but the court
further held that the companies were
liable for back taxes. The companies
were therefore required to pay into the
treasures of several counties of the
state taxes amounting to many thou
sands of dollars.
The st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba Railway company, purchased a
large tract of land situated in Todd
county, in this state This land was
largely covered with valuable timber
The railway company insisted that as it
was employing the timber growing upon
these lands for railroad purposes, the
lands were thereby exempt from specific
taxations; that is to say, that inasmuch
as they were paying a 8 per centum tax
upon their gross receipts, the lands in
question were thereby exempt from tax
alton. The matter coming before the
supreme court of the state, it was held
that the lands were properly subject to
taxation, and were not exempted under
the 3 per centum law.
This same company constructed a
large hotel at Lake Minnetonka, known
as Hotel Lafayette, and as this building
was constructed with view to the en-
largement of the business of the COM
pany, it was also claimed that this PROD

She Purchased Then,

She wasn't exactly old, but the dis
eliminating observer could see that she
hadn't seen the inside of a schoolroom
for at least ten years. The shopman
threw down piece after piece of fleecy
white material before her critical eyes,
but none Of them seemed to claim her
unreserved admiration. She was taking
a great deal of his time and the silk
counter was crowded, so he decided to
play his trump card.
Holding up length of crepe de chine
so that it fell in perfect cataract of
shimmering folds, he remarked, rehec-
lively, as if to himself alone, 1.-The best
thing for graduating purposes we have
had in the store this year." The effect
was instantaneous, and in another min
ute the tactful salesman was measuring
off a full pattern for his well pleased

board before him. Tables and stools
are placed in the rear, and here the hun

The Hue Vetch.

A particularly beautiful wild fowe,
from the Old World, now getting com
mon in New England and giving pleas
ure to the lover of wild flower scenery
Is the blue vetch, Vicia cracca. wa
particularly glad to see it come off con.
queror in battle with the well known
couch grass, which usually acts the
Goliath among other vegetation. II
usually crowds out everything, and our
Pennsylvania farmer regards it as one
of his worst enemies.
On the seacoasts of New England,
however, the yield of this grass is SIM
ply enormous, and the agriculturist en-
ploys it largely for hay. Its roots are
annoying TO the more southern farmer,
as every little piece grows. 1t can never
be got rid of. But here, where the
same field Is moved for an indefinite
number of years, it is of no consequence
how the roots hold on. The more tena-
cious the better. But it is such bold
warrior among vegetation that nothing
can grow where it grows, and a field of
couch grass looks more like a field of
some light kind of wheat under careful
farmers hands.
Timothy grass here will not stand the
attacks Battalions of weeds contest
the field with it. Couch grass alone
sends forth defiance. But the blue
vetch is masterpiece. 1t grows up
with the grass and at length overtops it,
and forms beautiful blue patches over
the whole field, looking like bright
cerulean lakes over a gray arid plain.
Fortunately the farmer does not mind,
as it is as agreeable to the cattle as the
grass. 1t is one of those rare instances
where great beauty and utility go hand
in hand together, and strike up truly
happy marriage.-Thomas Meehan in
Philadelphia Ledger.

Old English Meadow.

Probably there are no meadows in the
world 50 good as those in England or 30
old. Yet from the early Anglo-Saxon
times old meadow has been distinguished
from pastures" and has always been
scarce. Two-thirds of what is now es-
tablished meadow land still shows the
marks of ridge and furrow, and from
the great time required to make a
meadow-ten years at least ON the best
land, a hundred on the worst-men have
always been reluctant to break up old
pasture.
The ancient meadows, with their great
trees and close, rich turf, are the sole
portion Of the earth's surface which
modern agriculture respects and leaves
in peace. Hence the excellence of the
meadows Of England and the envy of
the American.-London Spectator.

Until the present century the peculiar
difficulties offered by the structure and
texture of cats had hardly been sur
mounted. When the old masters drew
q cat they made it solid and hard-it is
probable that the varieties they knew
were less beautiful than those which we
now delight in-but also there was a
conventional neglect of the furry char
acter of the surface. In painting cat
now the danger is in avoiding false
solidity, TO lose all sense of the osseous
forms in securing softness and light
ness.-London Saturday Review.

1t was Mr.. Emerson who said "the
first wealth is health" and it was a
wiser than a modern philosopher who
said that "the blood is the lffe." The
system, like the clock, runs down. 1t
needs winding up. The blood gets
poor and scores of diseases result. 1t
needs a tonic to enrich it.
A certain wise doctor, after years of
patient study, discovered a medicine
which purified the blood, gave tone TO
the system, and made men-tired,
nervous, embarrassing men-feel like
new. He called it his ''Golden Medical
Discovery" 1t has been sold for years,
sold by the million of bottles and peo-
pie found such satisfaction in it that
DIR. Pierce, who discovered it, now
feels warranted in selling it under a
positive guarantee of its doing good in
all cases.
Perhaps it's the medicine for you.
Yours wouldn't be the first case of
scrofuIa or salt-rheum, skin disease, or
lung disease, it has cured when
nothing else would. The trials worth
making, and costs nothing. Money
refunded if it don't do you good.

Whose halos do not fit EN-.
There's him who sorrows all the day
And sups fill of sadness,
Because an artist makes a sketch

Predicts the ruin of the world
Not later than tomorrow,
When someone takes a glass of wine,
And swears "Old Nick" will get him:

Make common people tired;
