SAN DIEGO, Jan. 3o.-Gov. Budd, ac-
companied by the committee from the

Southern California, reached here last

Lawsuit 20 Decide whether the Right
Belongs to the Father or Mother.

The question as TO whether the nam
ing of the baby belongs, as a matter Of
right, to the baby's father or to the
baby's mother is raised in a queer law
suit originating in Eastllill, in the
heart Of the Catskill mountains, re-
ports the Albany Law Journal. The
plaintiff is Ole IIalyCrson, a Swede, who
cultivates a small farm on the noun
tain side. lie has sued for damages
Rev. j. G. Remcrton, Il German Luth-
eran minister Of the same place, and the
pleadings set forth the following state
OF facts: Mr.. and Mrs. Halyerson have
a son Of tender years. The former de-
sired that the boy should be called Os-
car, after the present monarch Of Mr..
llalvcrson's fatherlaEd. Mrs. Halycr-
son disliies the name Oscar and was
determined that the baby should not
be burden herewith. Mr.. and Mrs.
IIalyerson took the baby to the clergy
man to be christened.
Mr.. Halycrson requested the minister
to name the child Oscar but Mrs. Hal
vcrson had already talked the reverend
gentleman over, ard TO Mr.. Halverson's
surprise and Indignation the boy was
not christclcd Oscar, but something
else, whereby Mr.. Ialvcrson suffered
serious disappointment, loss Of author
ity in lis household, lacCratioa cf feel
ings, etc, for which he prays damages.
The cler@yman's defense is that he
christered the child IN accordance with
the wishes Of the mother, whose rights
in the premises he considered para
mount. The case brings up a novel
question in Jurisprudence, the decision
Of which will be regarded with interest
in thousands of families throughout
the land.

There Is no name in this section of the
country, connected with the medical world,
that is better known to the public than that
of Mr.. Monroe Peterson. He is situated i'll
q nice, comfortable home, with good farm,
about four miles west of johnson City, H.,
lie is now fifty-eight years old, in healthy
condition, and weighs one hundred and ninety
pounds. Not more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, and lie IS
looked upon with wonder, because of his
healthy condition after so long period Of
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr.. Peterson's long suffering
was hurt which he received in fall, while
the time. lie has been crippled in his right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic rheumatism
then set in, and lis leg began to slowly
wither away and draw up in the joint, and
now it is about two inches shorter than the
other 1t began to grow worse and, finally,
his whole body began to shake like q person
with the st. Nitus' dance. His first severe
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in the power of human
endurance more awful in its pains and
Affections than sciatic rheumatism. Some
times its pain may be slow, steady one,
while, at other times, it comes with jerks
and wrcnchcs that seem to twist the body
out of all shape of recognition. 1t seems to
contract the muscles, drawing the body al-
most in a knot. While this is probably the
worst stage of scatic Rheumatism, it is some
with Mr.. Peterson, but with it was associ-
ated a feeling anl condition almost as un-
comfortable AM unbearable. The body was
in continual shake, rendering it impossible
for him to do anything. lie had lost all
control Of his muscles. On application to a
physician for relief he was told that the
afiliction might last him all his life, or, on
the other hand it might leave him entirely
al an unexpected moment.
For over three years he was not able to
write a word, so severe was his shaking. Tie
could not even sign his vouchers, thereby
having to make his mark and witness it. At
this time he could not walk q step without
aid nor even sit down in a chair without
assistance. So severe was the shaking of
his head that 1t almost caused him to 90
blind. He could not distinguish a PERSON a
rolls distance in front of him. lie came
very nearly losing his mind, and his friends
thought, as a last resort, that he would have
to be taken TO q hospital When he was
taken to town for examination by physi-
clan, he had to be examined in tie buggy
so difficult was it for him to get out. Often
times it would seem that life was nearly ex-
tinct, and his feet and hands would have to
be bathed in warm water and rubbed in
order to restore the circulation. For two
years he was not able to feed himself at the
table His ever faithful and dutiful wife put
the food to his mouth. Atnight he would take

tnat the most direct teaching. ano
necessarily the teaching most produc-
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names Of these colleges may not be IA
miliar to the majority Of people, but
that makes them none the less worthy

are unquestionably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good, and,
in some respects, better. Some Of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties Of the smaller institu-
tions of learning Young girls or
young men who are being educated at

ORIGIN of Polo.

Polo is one of the oldest games known
TO civilization, says an exchange. It
was played by the young swells of
Lllassa on the tableland Of Thibct,
between the llimalayus and Ewenlun
mountains, many centuries ago. Trav-
cling westward, il reached the Byzan-
tine emperor, Manuel Comnenus L.,
about the middle Of the twelfth CEN
tury. lie played it with great effect
II was calleG "pulu," which is Ihibctan
for ball. In 1871 il was introduced into
England by some cavalry officers who
had learned il in India Being In Eng
land, il had to come here. Our "ahin-
rcy" and hockey" and The lacross of
The Indians are notifications Of polo.
We not only play the game on horse
back, but in water and on roller skates.
