otherwise go. Mr.. Woodward depiored
that so many church members should at

NLas An hccidenl-

\ decision settling d peculiar point vas recent handed down by the United States court of appeals in the case of Mrs. Sarah L Smith. of Little Rock. against the Western Commercial Tray eler's association In August 1895, the husband of the plaintiff, Yho carried an accident policy for g. eco with the de- fendant company, began wearing pair of new shoes. In q few days he noted the skin had been torn from one toe. The wound did not heal and on October Smith died of blood poisoning. Mrs. smith attempted to collect the accident policy, but was resisted by the associa- tion, they claiming that death was not the result of an accident In the lower court jury gave her the full amount of the policy and the association ap, pealed. Judge Sanborn, in his opinion, held that the death of smith had been brought about by an external agent, and that it was accidental. What is not the result of design or pre-arrauge- ment. said the court, is accident. No man Intentionally wears the skin off his toes, and such injury must be con. sidered accidental
