It is waste Of words. The mortgagor
may even be driven by his necessity to
bargain away in the mortgage his
equity or redemption. Equity will treat
it as void. For any such purpose the
Kansas short form or mortgage as au-
thorized by statute (psr. 1886 Gen. Stat

no Kansas mortgage has ever done
whatever may have been its Stipuls
tions. 1t therefore could not be other
wise than that the laws Of Illinois
formed part Of the very obligation of
the contract and the rights vested by
its terms with the sanction of the laws
of Illinois could not be divested by any
subsequent law of that State. Where a
remedy is agreed upon in the contract
itself, with the sanction of the State
law, the obligation and the remedy are
indistinguishsble and in Su ch case it is
entirely proper to say that the subsist-
ing remedy is a part of the obligation
of the contract. On the other hand it
is safe to say that the general remedies
afforded by the State jurisprudence and
practice entirely aside from anything
contained in the contract, never con.
stitute any part of the obligation and
may be changed from time to time,
and this Is the doctrine of Bronson vs..
Kinzie.

The case will be appealed to the

REDEMPTION LAW GOOD.
Justices Martin and Allen Hold That the
Act Is Constitutional.


A case In which a mortgage given
before the enactment of the 1893 re.
demption law was being foreclosed
after that time was decided by the Su-
preme court Saturday. Attorney E.
A. McMsth, formerly Of this city,
made the fight which won the case. It
was held that the redemption applied
to all mortgages without regard to
when they were made. The decision
is contrary to one formerly made by
Justices Horton and Johnston. 1t is
written by Chief Justice Martin and
Justice Allen concurs and Justice
Johnston still dissents.
Some of the leading points in the de.
cision are here given:
"In this State the common law at
tributes of mortgages have been by
statute wholly set aside and ancient
theories dem olished. The MORTGAGE
has mere security creating a lien
upon the property, but Vesting no title,
and giving no right of possession what
ever, either before or after breach.
The statute confines the remedy of the
MORTGAGE to an ordinary action and
sale Cf the mortgsged premises. wat
erson versus DeVoe, 18 Kas., 223,233.) }
"a real estate mortgage conveys no
estate or title, in whatever form the
mortgage may be drawn. 1t creates
only lien upon the mortgsged prop
erty. And such lien can be enforced
only by judgment or order from the
District court. A holder of a real es-
tate mortgage can not, even after con-
dition broken, take possession of the
mortgaged property or of the rents or
profits thereof, except by consent of all
the parties, or by an action In the Dis
trict court, and he cannot realize upon
his mortgage except by judgment of
such court. And this is true whatever
the form of the mortgage may be.
Where the mortgaged property is not
sufficient security for the mortgage
debt, the District court may in some
cases appoint receiver to take charge
Of the property and to receive the rents
and profits thereof. But in no case
can the holder of mortgage, with.
out suit, and without the consent of
the mortgagor or his assignee, take
possession of either the real estate
mortgsged or the rents or profits
thereof. (SeckIer versus Delfs, % Kss.,
= l59-165.)
"a real estate mortgage is not what
1t purports to be on its face anywhere.
In Kansas 1t has been shorn of all it's
common law incidents as wehsVe seen,

ed Mr. Turner. Fit hard, boys!'
Il He killed one instantly with blow
on the head, and sprung forward over
Its body, striking right and left and
yelling hoarsely. .5,.sS3
Now a. very singular accident hap
pened. Mr.. Turner had to keep up his
tactics Of dashing forward q pace or
two in advance OF his sons, In order to
scatter the wolves. While doing this
he somehow slipped and fell, and in
stantly the wolves covered him. With
heroic vigor the two boys doubled
their blows, and pounded away to
such effect that the assailing brutes
were driven back before they could do
Mr.. Turner much harm. Unfortunate
", however, iii striking at the wolves,
one of the boys hit their father and
knocked him senseless, SO that he lay
quite still. They thought him dead,
but they fought on more desperately
than ever; for now it required almost
superhuman exertion to keep the
wolves from deVourinu their fathers
body. Il .55s n
All this time they had been halloo-
ing and crying for help, their voices
going far through the snow burdened
air. ~
Bravery and heroic resistance are
nearly always rewarded. At the last
moment help unexpectedly and sud
denly arrived There was a shout
down below; then another and anoth-
er. a pack Of hounds began to harry
the wolves from behind. Three or
four rifles cracked keen and clear. In
less tine than take to write it the
whole bowling body of wolves had
been scattered or killed, and the pant
ing, almost dying, boys, were in the
hands of hunting party.

his two sons, John and James, aged,
respectively, thirteen and fifteen, left
their homes to go to mill, each carry
ing a sack Of corn on his shoulder.
They had to go on foot, because Of the
6teepness Of the path which led over
the mountain.
Owing to an unusual amount Of
grain already in when the Turner'S ar.
rived with their grists. it was after
nfghtfall before they were able to set
out for home with their meal on their
backs. Meantime, snOwstorm had
come up and the ground was covered
three or four inches deep with snow,
while the flakes still fell thick and
fast. Mr.. Turner led the way. Al
though the path was covered up, he
knew every landmark on the mount
ain, and notWithst ding his heavy
load of meal, to which he had added

Boys, keep close to me- said Mr..
Turner: that's a&wolf.''
James and John did not need to be
twice told; they pressed their, fathers
sides as they trudged, and their hearts
beat quicker.
At first they thought that but one
wolf was following them, but soon
enough it was certain that at least q
dozen snarling and hungry animals
were venturing closer and closer to
their heels. .s
Mr.. Turner made his sons go ahead

defending himself by frequently turn

Wolves are great towards until they

For some time all went we'll. The
pack sneaked and snarled close behind
Mr.. Turner. But all at once some dim

Contrasts In Customs .

ne One of the most enjoyable things il:
travel is to notice how etiquette varies
from land to land. In America, when
u steamer leaves, the men shake hands
and the women kiss each other and
sometimes cry. In France and Italy,
especially, tile women weep, while the
men kiss and hug each other, almost
as vigorously as IL they were in a

acquaintance, while in Spain she al
ways gives her hand to be kissed. 1t
makes the same sensation in Madrid
for man to, seize a wOman's hand
and shake it as it does in New York
for foreigner to seize a New York
WOman's hand and kiss it.
In America it is rare for wine or
beer to be seen on the table at Wo-
mans luncheon or dinner party. In
Europe, not to have them would be
considered the height Of discourtesy.
Among the Western nations, to offer
visitor a cup of tea is to invite him
to prolong his visit. Among the East
ern nations, it is the conventional in
timation that it is time for him or her
to go. An American man removes his
hat Willie talking to a woman, while
the lead" keeps it carefully perched
upon his ear. In China a native man
would sooner lose his head than be
seen without his hat on when in COM
pany, while the rufhan takes it off as
a mark of disrespect.
We put on our best shoes when our
friends call or when we call upon our
friends. In Japan, woman takes off
her shoes at the threshold and makes
her call in her stocking feet upon the
hostess, who is similarly attired.
Among the Anglo-SaXons, the most
cordial invitation is '.help yourself

pertaining the length Of time that brick
and sandstone are rendered water

used Were. the three commonest and
most readily obtainable for such pur-
poses, viz, linseed oil, boiled linseed
and the crude mineral oil known as
blue oil, used for preserving timber.
The Weltherings were made upon q

the brick, although the area Of the
sandstone cubes was much greater
than that exposed by the bricks Equal
amounts OF raw and boiled oils were
absorbed; the blue oil, however, was
taken up in much greater quantity BY
both brick and sandstone, but by the
end Of twelve months the whole Of the
1914 ounces of blue Oil had apparently
evaporated away, and the brick had re-
turned to it's original weight. The.
bricks treated with ra w and boiled oils
remain unchanged. After the second
oiling in November, 1890, and exposure
for.nearly. four years and two months,
they had practically retained all their
oil, inasmuch as they had not lost in
weight, and were also nearly impervi-
Gus to water. It was noticeable that
the sandstone cubes treated with raw
and boiled oils returned to their orig
inal weights, but do not appear to have
lost the beneficial effects of the oils,
being also practically waterproof.
