WHERE A PARTY CONVEYS LAND
I TO THE GRANTEE, HIS HEIRS
AND ASSIGNS FOREVER, BUT
EXPRESSLY RESERVING a LIFE
ESTATE TO HERSELF, THE RE
SEHVATION is NOT REPUGNANT
AND VOID. BUT GOOD.
On the 26th of February, 1881, Mary
NJ. McDougal conveyed to l. r. Nc
Dougal, OF Richie county, w. Va, a
certain lot In the town of Hnrrsville,
III said county, known as Lot No. 81
In consideration of the sum of S1OG, the
habendum of said deed being in the fol-
lowing words: ITO have and to hold
said real estate aid premises, with all
the right, title, and interest of the said
Mary NJ. McDougal, unto the said L. L.
McDougal, his heirs and assigns, for
ever" and Immediately thereafter the
deed contains these words: but the
said Mary NJ. McDougal expressly re-
serves to herself q life interest In and
TO the above described real estate" On
January 26, 1891, the said McDougal
conveyed tho same lot to Charles A.
Musgrave. which decd concluded thus.
But it is expressly understood by and
between the parties that the said
Thomas +. McDougal reserves for his
mother her life interest in and to the
premises hereby conveyed, and the
parties of the first part hereby cove
nant and agree 10 warrant generally
the title to the property hereby con-
veyed."
There was judgment In the lower
court for plaintiff, and defendant APP
pealcd.
The court says:
1t is claimed that plaintiff In her deed
attempted in the habendum clause, aft
er conveying all of her interest in eaid
lot in the granting clause, to reserve
to herself life interest in and to said
lot. which reservation found in the
habendum is repugnant to the premises.
anu is therefore void. | regard the con-
clusion of this deed as an exception or
reservation of the life estate in the
grantor. J, however, do not regard this
reservation as being contained in the
habendum. The language of shat Isl:

sdendum. +" in reference to which Devlin
on Deeds (volunle /. section 22l) saws:
The clause OF reddendum generally
Follows the habendum, and is used when
anything is to be reserved out OF the

It has ever been mystery to newspaper
writer's why some persons object 70, having
complimentary things written about them.
while Others are continually seeking such
a favor. Evidence Of these two phases Of
character was furnished one day last week
at the court house while a reporter for the
Eagle was securing the temple Of justice
for something to dish mp for the Eagle
readers. A very pompous gentleman

THEY NEVER FORGET IT.

Some few years ago when the growing
Of alfalfa was first coming into a craze
among farmers and stock feeders several
seed firms threw out special inducements
to agents to sell their output. One enter
prising commission salesman at the stock
yards undertook the agency Of one firm
and during the season disposed Of several
tons Of seed which he supposed was al
falfa seed, as did the innocent buyer The
seed was planted and thoroughly cultivat-
ed, and in due time the green sprouts came
up. Later in the season, however, the
soul Of the pious commission man was
filled with woe and harrassed by the ON
nous threatenings of an irate constitu-
ency. One by one each customer who had
bought that seed drilled INTO his office with
bunch Of grass in his hand, and each one
wore sonbre warning look and Kissed
through his teeth the demand to know
what had been sold him. Il turned out
that all the Verdure which came I'D from
that longingiy expected alfalfa seed was
what IS known as fox-tail grass and prac-
ucally worthless as a feed for stock. at
least not up to the grade of alfalfa. Time
rolled by and the years sped on, and yet to
this day every once in a while some farm
er drifts into the yards and gives a freez-
ing gaze at the commission man who in
his child-like candor doled out fox-tau
grass seed for alfalfa.

RERTKED BY A MISS.

One day last week a street episode oc-
CURED which made one young man feel
abiectly guilty and shamefaced and sew
eral groups Of men embarrassed and dis
comftted. Out of South Topeka avenue
on to Douglas dashed madly frightened
dog who clattered along the paved street
and sidewalks with the din OF a large tin
can hitting the right-of-way and which
was tied to his tail. The poor dog was
mad with fright and excited sensations.
His steering gear had never been adorned
with the like before. Perhaps in the hal
cyon days Of his early and innocent youth
he had been decorated with the embenish-
ments Of the usual and orthodox blue rib
bon and cute little brass collar. Perhaps
he had been the fondled pet of some High
school girl who, in the wild raging senti-
ment Of a last gasp Of uplifted and in
spring oratory had made every pair of
glasses in the audience despatched by the
upsettng effects of her class valedictory
entitled Beyond the Alps Lies Italy"
But this selfsame dog had now attached
to his polonaise a sordid and unromantic
tin sardine can. and the racket it made a
it hit him and the stone pavements was
sufficient to awaken a night patrOlman
At first he did not seem to be in any spe-
cial hurry as the fire company boys re-
leased him. He sauntered easily up the
street with the composure Of a messenger
boy on a special hurry delivery orderl
boy on special hurry delivery Then,
5ever and anon, the can would bounce up
and hit him IN the hack and then rebound
onto the walk, until he finally began 70
realize that he was pursued by something
not exactly understood or looked for. Then
he took on more Of hurry and by the
time he reached the Manhattan hotel he
had caught a gait which took in about
nine feet to a lick, and the ticks kept get
ting faster and more energetic. Digniied
professional men, merchants. portly bank
ers, clerks and ministers Of the everlasting
gospel stopped work or their walk to
laugh and enjoy the scene as the madden
ed hybrid dog hit the high spots headed
for most anywhere. Just then a pretty
and stylishly attlred lady alighted from
her bicycle and with flushed face address
ed a group of prominent business men and
i'm a wOrkmanlike manner hauled them
up standing for their heartlessuess and
unmanlv demeanor. reminding them that
# would be more humane and manly TO try
TO relieve the dog by cutting the cord
which tied the can to his tail Each man
felt within himself that she was right and
each felt ashamed of himself. ana silently
and mournfully the party broke up. each
going his respective way to the nearest sa-
loon. while the satisfied girl with an ex-
preston Of well-earned triumph gracefully
mounted her wheel and sped away.
