The case of Manyel Dearmin VS.
Henry Sclnell, a Glasgow gardener,
to recover the price of the boring of a
well on defendants land, has been
compromised by the defendant paying
plaintiff $500 In cash and assuming all
the costs.
Our readers viii remember naenfiou
several weeks ago Ia tne CotkfKR of
the reversal OF this case in the Kansas
City court of appeals. Dearmin some
thing more than year ago bored a
well on the premises OF Schnell. The
well was satisfactory in every particu-
lar to defendant, except that
the water it furnished contained
large traces Of salt. This he claimed
was not in accordance with the con-
tract, for the reason that such water
was unfit for the purpose it was in
tended to be used-irrigating his gar
den vegetation--and in spite of the
fact that Dearmin has expressly re-
fused to agree to furnish any particular
kind OF water, and only agreed that IL
well should supply SO many barrels of
water per day. regardless OF quality.

There can be no doubt that IN max.

One of the most fruitful causes OF
holes in the folds of an umbrella IS
improper care when it is wet 70 roll
up a wet umbrella is TO invite the dyes
to rot il. and one of the bdnes of the
umbrella manufacturer is loaded dye
on SILK. Out OF 100 samples OF silk sub
mitted TO an expert not over tea were
pure dye, and so per cent of the silk
thread submitted was overloaded with
dye and could not stand chemical test.
This is a fruitful cause of trouble in
umbrellas When over-dyed silks are
wet and the umbrellas rolled and set
away, the owners complain that their
umbrellas are cracking in the folds.
Fine holes appear and they are apt TO
return the umbrella to the merchant
and claim damage.

street. busted" While in these des-
perate circumstances he met Charles
+. Wallin, a well-known shoemaker
Wallin liked the man. and, although in
poor circumstances, took Anderson in
and gave him a home until he found
an opening on one Of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company's big steamers
and went on the Alaska run. After
several trips he had the mining fever.
A partnership was formed with a
Yukon miner, who had money enough
for two outfits, and the men made for
the Yukon. They were soldiers of
fortune for a time, drifting ground
from one camp to another, and finally
were attracted to the Klondike region
by the report OF a great discovery.
They took up claims side by side on
Bonaza Greek. On these claims both
built and began to mine industriously
for the yellow metal which seemed so
plentiful. Anderson worked hard, and

hard work at the mine he had not for

the shoemaker did him, Anderson has
