THE Bitter BIT.

Elnathan Batkins was a man as shrewd as
ever growed,
He alters said he was himself, and I sup
pose he knowed
He said his eye was alters peeled and wa mt
by no means dim,
And feilers got up airly when they got
ahead er him; H.1
He guessed he'd got his eye-teeth cut-he
knowed a thing er two
And, as ter shrewdness in a trade, reckon
that was true;
But. in his bizness dealin's, when Elnathan
drawed the line
Tween shrewdness and rascality, he
drawed 1t mighty fine.
A lot er fellers' houses here was mortgaged
up ter Nate,
And when the mortgages come due If they
was one hour late H. aE
Why, he foreclosed and grabbed the place
and consequently he
Was worth a good sight more'n what
think he'd ought ter be.
He'd leave a wilder homeless, but I want
no consarn er his.
I'm sorry fer yer, miSsiS, but yer know
that biz is biz"
And out she'd go, and Nate would grin ter
think how much he'd made,
And tell the fellers at the store about his
'.rattlin' trade"
w ell, Qurn MIN! ne SOt KetcneQ at laStS tWC
fellers come ter town,
Real "bunco men" yer read about, and they
done Nathan brown;
One made out he'd been mimi and had two
big bricks err gold
Err course you've read the papers and yer
know the trick is old
But Nate, he never took no stock in blame
newspaper gas
And so he give five thousand" up fer them
... two hunks er brass.
And, fer a month, when he'd go out, the
fellers that he saw
Would say: "Well Batkins, how's yer
gold?" and then jest ''Haw! Haw!
Haw"
Up at the store, the other night we talked
about the trick,
And how t was one so cute as Nate got
gobbled up so slick,
But old Eb Small, he seq: "Why, boys, It's
jest as plain as day,
Nate Batkins never dealt afore with folks
that worked his way.
Nate thought he had a sucker and he'd play
him mighty fine,
But he found out the sucker was on t'other
end the line.
An honest man don't stand no show with
folks of Nathan's kin,
1t takes thief ter ketch thief that's
how he got took in"

a little fat pork or cooked bacon, sea-

MENTAL ANGUISH DAMAGES.

Doctrine Laid Down More Fully Than
Ever Before BY Judge Douglas.
In recent decision (Cashion VS.. Tele-
graph Company the Supreme court
makes an important ruling rs to the evil
dence necessary in suits to recover
damages for mental anguish, suffered
by reason of failure on part of teIe-
graph company to promptly deliver mes
sages sent to relatives.
The opinion is written by Justice
Douglas, and in the course of it he
says:
Mental anguish must be something
more than mere disappointment, and like
every other material allegation relied
upon by the plaintiff, must be alleged
and proved. 1t is true that there are
certain facts which, when proved, pre-
sumo mental anguish. The tender ties
of love and sympathy existing between
husband and wife or parent and child
are the common knowledge of the hui
man race, lis they are the hottest i'll
stincts of the human heart. 1t is use
less to tell the jurors Of the anguish
of Il true wife, waiting for hours to take
the train to the bedside of IL dying hus-
band, knowing we'll that the sands of
life are falling fast, but uncertain of
the vital measure. and finally reaching
her journeys end only to bcstoW her
last greeting upon lifeless clay.
But beyond the marriage state, this
presumption extends only to near rela-
tives of kindred blood, as acute affec-
ton does not necessarily result from
kinship or mere affinity. n brothers
love is sufficiently universal to raise
the presumption, but not so with Il
brOthcr-in-law, who if often an indiffer-
cnt stranger and sometimes an UnWcl-
come intruder into the family circle. 1t
is true that with him such affection may
