HOW COOLEY WORKED.
Former Chief Justice of Michigan
Tells of His Famous Colleague.

Former Chief Justice of Michigan
Tells of His Famous Colleague.
Judge John w. McGrath, who retired
from the Chief J~usticeship of the
Michigan Supreme Court at the close
Of 1895, was seen by a correspondent
and asked as to his belief in the cause
of the physical and mental breakdown
of ex-Justice Thomas M. Cooley, who
Is now in a private retreat at Flint.
He was also asked If, in his opinion,
~jurlsts were particularly prone to col
lapse of that description.
Judge McGrath is a big man. His
figure of more than six feet Is as erect
as In his young manhood. but snowy
white hair and beard tell the work of
Father Time. He is strong and vtgor-
GUS himself, and while laughingly de-
claring hat his work had left him
without a scar, said:
Poor Cooley; he is a victim of his
own tremendous energy, without the
physical strength to bear up undA- 1t.
AS a matter Of fact. l doubt If any
man could have stood it. While his
work on the bench had something to do
with his final breakdown, for 1t always
was and always will De m arduous
work, his labors off the bench were
dertake.
His works on constitutional law, on
torts, his many magazine articles and
the preparation of 'Cooley's Black
stone We're all completed while he was
engaged on work hat would have COM
pletely filled most mems time.
Il believe he worked eighteen hours
n day. l know that while on the bench
he not only was the first on to arise in
his wv home so as to work before
breakfast, but that his work table was
placed in his sitting-roOm so that he
could continue the grind evenings, and
at the same time partially enjoy the
company of his family and friends.
He would turn sometimes to join In
their conversation, only to bury him
self a moment later in his writing.
while l believe the life span of
~jurists is probably as long as is that
of any other profession similarly de-
priyed of exercise and fresh air, l do
think that for many years there has
not been an occupant of the Michigan
bench who has retired without the
work having left it's mark. This is ow-
ing largely to the fact that they have
strained every nerve to keep their
docket clear.
This example was set by that great
four, Cooley, Christiancy, Campbell
and Graves. Christiancy and Campbell
are dead, and Cooley's mind has failed,
but Graves is a hale and hearty old
gentleman living In Detroit. In Ohio
and many other States the business Of
the State bench is behind two, three
or more years, while here every ease Is
heard when ready, no matter how great
the strain, and opinions are also rush
ed out on the same schedule.
"As to Judge Cooley, 1 never knew a
man of such intense mental activity,
and his breakdown came solely as the
result of overwork. He was always a
man of spotless reputation and most
correct habits, and no other cause can
possibly be assigned. His work on the
Interstate Commerce Commission, his
last sustained effort, was, in my opin.
ion, simply the last wrench"

Hot Milk Rs Nutriment.

If any one doubts the nourishing
properties of milk, let a test be made of
the following preparation of it: When
very weary or weak from exhaustion,
heat some milk to the scalding point,
until a thin skin begins to wrinkle up
on the surface, and then drink it as hot
as possible. 1t refIeshes almost instant
ly and restores the exhausted vitality
to a surprising extent as loon as it is
taken. 1t is more nutritious than any
of the beef teas made from meat az
tracts OF that made from fresh beef.

gasoline and oil engines on the Coast, are
making extensive preparations for the

water pumped by this cheap power.

Freeburns S final cali came March 4,

have taken a siding at small telegraph
station midway between Washington and
Baltimore to allow a North-bou1d passen-

Freebarn needed sleep badly, nodded for
only the fraction of minute, but in that
short time sped by his siding. and with
terrific crash dashed into the northbound

running at high rate of speed, and the
breakup was horrible sight to behold.
Both engines reared up like two horses
on their hind feet, and then settled down
amid a cloud of dust, smoke and kissing

burn was the last person found and Ia ken
from the wreck. He was tammed up gainsT

ed. All that right he tossed on a rude
couch at the lonely little station. and in
his wild rawlings went through MS daily

never three, and has listened 90 many

single tracks and the crudest railroad de
vices. The stories of thousands of acci-

perusal not a case was discovered wherein
the engineer had experienced his third
accident and lived The railroad engineer
registers in his mind the score against
his existence, and strange, indeed, is the
case if the record is increased against him
through carelessness-
This themets welcome one to anna JoFitF
of engineers, and they love to tell of the
many cases In which their belief has been
eubstantiated by fact.
The case of Engineer Jack Conner is an
interesting one, and will Illustrate how
strongly this idea OF surviving two calls
is grated on the mind of the everyday en-
gineer. His engine was hauling gonsiola
car on which was loaded some 800 pounds
of dyna amite over the old Richmond and Dam
vile road, down in Virginia. About twenty
Italian workmen were also on the car. A
spark from the engine, through gross care
iessness on the part of the handlers OF the
explosive, ignited the mass of compound.
Conner's fireman and about dozen Ital-
fans were blown to atoms and the car and
engine almost demolished.
In the fraction OF a second that inter-
vened between the discovery of the igniting
spark on the slight covering over the
dynamite and the terrific explosion tlat
followed Jack Conner threw himself be-
hind the fire-box of his engine. When
found he was completely buried under the
coal and debris Of engines and cars. Many
bones were broken, and ne presented a
CHASTITY sight, but his friends and physi-
clans were eheeTed mightiiy when, upon
regaining consciousness, he said, in gasp
ing voice:
III come around all right This is my
first call. I've got one more before say
Ing good-by."
Conner ultimately got Wen, contrary to
the PHYSICIANS diagnosis of his wounds,
although it was close call, and he Is bow

changes made in the course of century
are exceedingly few, and in its main
features the English licensing system is
pretty much In the condition that it was
when the century opened. From 1898 to
1869 England tried the experiment of free
trade IN beer For forty years almost
anybody who liked could set up q beer
shop But the experiment was a direfni
failure In 1869 1t was finally abandoned;
not, however, without leaving disagree

ever half dozen squafid beerhouses
stand side by side there Is a monument
of one OF the most daring experiments
ever made In regard to the liquor trade.
In 1870 grocers We're permitted to retail
beer, and in 1874 the hours of closing Of
public-houses at nights and on Sundays
were fixed by Parliament These are the
