Hard on Keene Rims.

The circuit court Of the United States
for the district Of New Hampshire has rem
dered decision in a case of considerable
importance relating to patent upon wood
rims for bicycles. The opinion was rem
dered by Lowell, judge Of the Massachu-
sets district, who heard the case in the abb
sence of Judge Aldrich. The suit was
brought by John H. Kydd ct al, COM
plainants, against Theodore Peart and
Florence L. Peart, defendants for the pur-
pose of procuring an Injunction against
them to prevent them from manufacturing
OR selling the Keene Wood Rim, so called,
for which the compliments to own the
patent.
Che defendants set up the claim that
they had license from the compliments
which was still in force and that, therefore,
they are not infriDgerss and that no injunc-
ton should be granted. The case was ar
gued in Bost IN before Judge Lowell, May
26, by H G. Sargent tor the complainants
and William Quinby for the defendants. In
the. opinion just rendered by Judge Lowell
be de cides that the defendants, Theodore
A. Peart and Florence L. Peart, are in
fingers that the license which they claim
to Justify under had been legally revoked
by the compliments, and orders that al
Injunction issue against said Theodore A
Peart and Florence l.. Peart restraining
and epjoinlng them from manufacturing o.
selling Keene Wood rims.

compliments, and Batchelder & Faulk me-

tent, went into operation July 1, and now
nearly every act Of life must bear the

this tax will produce revenue of about
$40, 000, 900 year, in addition to which
there is an authorize bond loan of $780,
100000.

that he can not forward the same without

Important Litigation.

The case of the Anglo-Americ Land,
Mortgage and Agency Co. W. Nashua
Savings Bank was tried by jury in the
U. S. court at Portsmouth, N. H., before
Hon. William L. Putnam Of Portland
Me-, U. S. circuit Judge, June 27-3O,
1898. The case was brought to recover q
call of one pound and FIVE shillirgs sterling
per share on 1000 shares Of the stock Of
the plaintiff company, which the bank had
purchased in 1883, on which one pound
per share had then been paid. Another
pound sterling per share was called on
1885 and paid. Another call was made of
one pound per share in 1894 which defend
ant had paid after some litigation in the
fall OF 1897. Another call was made Octo-
Der, 1895, payable December 2, 1895.
Due notice and demand had been made,
but defendant refused to pay and hence
the suit. Numerous important and inter
esting questions we're raised. The princi-
pal defence was that this suit could not be
sustained on an implied promise to pay
calls, or assessments on the shares.
The case Of Windsor Electric Light Co
VS.. Frank H. Tandy, which was decided
by the supreme court of Vermont in 1898
and reported &c Vermont 248, was under
consideration by this U. S. court. Judge
Putnam in an elaborate ard learned charge
to the jury adopted the law as announced
in the Tandy case and directed a verdict
for the plaintiff for $6S58.37. Gilbert A.

Telephone Changes.

The telephone company has begun the
construction Of direct copper line between
Bellows Falls and Burlington by the way
Of White River Junction. This will make
the third line to Burlington, one through
Rutland and two through White River

The switch board in the local office is
being arranged SO that three operators can
work at one time. A new operator, Miss
Alberta M. Smith of Cavendish, begins

THE OLD CLERK.

Pathetic Picture Too Frequently Pre-
sented In the Business World.
He is familiar figure in almost ev-
cry business house-the old clerk
White haired, thin, with clothes that
are always of decent black and scrupu-
lousy brushed, he has sat behind the
same desk or stood behind the same
counter for dear knows how many
years, growing thinner and older and
MUSTER as the time went by. Some
times we meet him in the early morn
ing going down to Office or store, walk
ing the same route he has trod for 20 or
80 years with regularity SO perfect
that the very policeman on the beat
might set his watch by his movements.
Often, late at night, when we are go
ing home from the theater we see him
through the iron grated window, still
bending over his ledger, for he works
slowly nowadays and must work over
time to make up his accounts. His eyes
are growing dim and he fumbles with his
glasses, his hands are losing their trick
Of deft penmanship, and his brain its
swiftness. He does not understand it,

their tasks and are out and gone while
he is still laboring over his Slowly but
surely it is being borne in on him that
he cannot compete with them.
In the managers Office he is already
| becoming problem. Customers have
| begun to complain of his slowness. A
man, not Intentionally cruel, called out
| that he wanted somebody who was alive
| to wait on him; not that old fossil. A
| woman complained that he had not
matched sample and asked why they

that the time is coming when he must

less pay. They will remember for a

in which he has seen the firm grow from
small beginnings to present wealth.
Then after time they will forget
even that, and one day when he has
been slower than usual or some mis-
take has passed unnoticed by his dim
eyes they will send for him to come to
| the presidents room, and he will be
| told that they think it best to put a boy
| in that partment-somebody who is
| young and quick and can get about
swiftly. Sometimes they give him a
little pension, oftener not, but in Ell
Their case he goes out a poor, heart bro
ken old man. They talk to him of en-
joying leisure, but he has never learned
the art of idling, and SO he hangs about

To others it is commonplace enough
