The acme Of earthly happiness and
content was defined once by q modest
individual as having nothing to do and
being well paid for doing it,
Such a position at first glance might
seem exceptional, If not the mere mirage
of selfish imagination, but case that
was decided by Judge Clark yesterday
afternoon appears to come within meas
urable distance Of the position so earn
estly desired.
The suit referred to came up in de-
partment two some time ago, and
strangely illustrated the methods and
the profits of a collection agency. The
plaintiff, l.. A. Shead sued c. I. Hinman
and w. E. Pile, partners carrying on the
business of a collection agency in the
city, for certain moneys claimed to be
due on collection made by the defend
ants for the plaintiff in Detroit.
1t appears that in January. 1894, Shead
placed with Hinman & Pile for collec-
tion a proinissory note for $4,000. dated
January, 1883, payable one year after
and bearing per cent interest. 1t was
on Detroit house. and Hinman & Pile
sent the note through lueIil lOI
collection. Its payment was contested,
and in October, 1895, the debt was COM
promised for so cents on the dollar, or
$2500, and in December of the same year
this amount was collected by the de-
PENDANTS. These latter gentlemen then
made out a statement of how the matter
stood, which was somewhat as follows:
Twenty-fi five per cent commission on
$4,000 amounted to $3.50; $3.50 for attor-
ney's fees in Detroit; $50 costs; $3.50 for
telegraphing and 1925 for attorneys
fees here; grand total, $20S0S0.
The plaintiff. perhaps not altogether
unnaturally, refused to take the balance
which was offered. and brought suit in
order that the matter be threshed out
in court When the case came to trial
the defendants paid into court $40 and
a note for $780, something slightly over
what their itemized statement would
show to be due to the plaintiff.
Judge Clark yesterday ordered judg-
ment entered for plaintiff and fixing the
amount due at S1370.

The report that Miss Addie Chappelle
had left her home and was about to be
married was premature, to say the least.
The latter lady is only 16 years of age
and is not worrying her head just now

Inasmuch as she left home without
