Court in the warehouse cases. He says
that where one person occupies re-
lation in which he owes a duty to an.
other he shall not place himself in any |
position which will expose him to the |
temptation of acting contrary to that
duty or bring his interest in conflict |
with his duty" 1t Is human as well as |
divine law that no man can serve two |
masters. No warehouscman can serve |
his own interests and nj thc same time |
serve the interests of his customer.
with whom he Is in competition as Il |
trader in grain. Then the court says:
Courts of equity have never allowed |
a person occupying such n relation to
undertake the service of two whose in
tcrcsts are in conflict. but forbids such
a course of dealing. irrespective of his
good faith or his bad faith. II the duty

houses. then the law interposes n pre-.
ventive check against any temptation
to act from personal interest by prohib-
ting them from occupying any such po-
| sitiOn."
This was the implication of the law of
1871. which clearly separates the bust
ness of "a warehouscrnan from the
| business of dealer In grain. a ware.
house is public utility the operations
of which are regulated by law. Its
owner, by buying grain. storing It In
his own bins without cost to himself
and s,:".S q cut. can pa wore for
grain and sell for less than other trad.
crs. To prevent this discrimination the
law prohibiting warehousemcn from
dealing in grain was enacted.
| Members of the Board of Trade who
suffered in business from this Illicit
competition commenced legal proceed
ings to stop the handling of their own
grain by warehousemcn. The suit was
in the interest of every farmer and Of
every dealer in grain who did not own
II warehouse. While the suit was pend.
ing the Doodle Legislature of 1897
passed an act which apparently author
lied warehousemen to deal In their own
grain.
This was an attempt to legalize by
corrupt statute q dishonest system of
business under which rascally discrim.
nations might be practlced everywhere
against farmers and honest dealers In
farm products. 1t belonged to the same
class of bad. corrupt and scandalous
legislation as the Gas Consolidation bill
and similar Doodle measures Of the last
Legislature.
In considering the warehouse eases
the Supreme Court refused to reopen
the proceedings for the purpose Of ad.
hitting plcadlngs ana hearing argu-
mcnts relating to the Doodle warehouse
act of 1897. The Inference Is plain.
The court must have considered that
the act of the Doodle Legislature was
void. as against public policy. In au.
thorizing vicious Determinations In the
business of buying and selling grain.
1t Is unfortunate that the court did
not reopen the case and decide the en-
tire Questlon-that Of the validity Of
the new net as well as to the illegality
Of dealings In grain by warchousemen
under the act of 1871. A full decision
would have settled for all time the
questions involved.

Queer Au.tralian coptrir.nee..

Some men were handling a littlo
piece of wood about the shape of a
cigar boat, and or inches long,
with long reed kind of tail to it
"What odd thing is that wooden
ratl" asked the guardsman.
"Wichi-wichi, replied Warrigul.
Just then native whirled one
over his head at dangerous gait
and sent it flying out along the
level ground. The little nose Of it
bobbed up and down, and the queer
oblong thing worked its way along,
with its tail as balance, at fear
full rate. 1t ran along the ground
for 60 or 70 yards Others competed
at the game of wichi-wichi until the
winner scored over 100 yards in the
directest line TO the target.
Then they swung the hulawalla.
This is fish shaped piece of thin
wood tied to a long string and
swung around and around by means
of a long stick. The noise of it
much resembled the roar of giant
bull enraged. The hulawalla is used
by the tribesmen to warn off the
women during the week of the sa-
cred bora dance. 1t can be heard
three TO four miles away, according
to the wind and lay of the country.
During that week the women must
not come in hearing of the dread in
strument or they suffer dire agony
to a sure death.-Outing.

There is considerable difference
between the size of the hands and
feet and, curionsly enough, ON op-
posite sides. Thus, while the right
hand is generally larger. it is the
left foot which is the bigger and
stronger of the two. This is prob
ably due to the fact that we stand
habitually on the left foot.

GOOD FORTUNE IN DISGUISE.

An Ungdarded Speech Leads to an Oper-
ator's Rise In Life.
1t isn't easy to tell when fate
means well by man. Some of her
apparently hardest knocks are all
for the victims good. A crushing
piece of misfortune may be the
means of squirting the crushed one
to more ambitious efforts. 1t did
so in one Clevelander's case to Il
certainty.
He was telegraph operator and
a good one, but he wasn't in favor
with the chief. In fact, the chief
didn't possess many friends among
the boys. He was disposed to be
sharp and quick with them, and
telegraph operators are sensitive
lot.
There was a vacant room that
hadn't been occupied for a long
time, and the chief one day took
possession of 1t as a sort of private
Office. The operator whose story
we are telling didn't know about ths
change, and that very day when he
happened to be in the washroom
with one of the boys he opened up
on the chief in particularly savage
fashion. The washroom was sepa
rated by the thinnest kind of parti-
ton, and every word could be heard
distinctly on the other side.
The operator dipped his face over
the washbasin, and as he sputtered
and splashed he blessed the chief in
shockingly left handed way. The
man with him tried to stop the IL
rade, but he couldn't catch his eye.
nor could he get near enough to him
in time to shake him. Finally the
other man exhausted himself and
turned around with a towel in his
hands. Then he saw the look of
horror on his companion 8 face He
knew that he was doomed.
As he stepped from the washroom
with jaunty air he met the chief
II suppose, said the latter, you
are ready TO express your personal
opinions in public as well as behind
your victims S backi"
The operator never wavered
hairbreadth.
Il am" he said smilingly, "anG
can add little to what | have al
ready said" And with that he es
pressed his opinion of the chief in
still more vigorous language, toos
his hat and stalked out.
1t was the first time he had beca

felt little dazed. Then he resolved
ON a bold stroke. He would so

Clay County. Mimi. Officials Look
for Him-Vengeance Deferred.
Clay county. Mimi. officials are look
ing for the husband Of Minnesota
schoolmarm, who is supposed to be
hiding in Fargo. The young lady was
engaged to teach school in Clay county
and day or two before the school
began she was married to Fargo boy.
She secured board at John Onan's, a
well known farmer. and was regularly
visited by the young husband, who
finally became jealous of Onan's son,
and had the girl secure another board
ing place. Some one wrote to him that
young Oman was frequent visitor at
the new place. and the husband hired
a rig to go out to. the farm with the
intention of cleaning out the Oman
household. When he knocked at the
door the old gentleman came forward
and the enraged husband struck him
with a long stick. Mr. Oman escaped
into the room, where he kept the shot
gun, and the jealous husband broke all
sprinting records getting away from
the house. He is said to have told the
liveryman that he intended knocking
the old man senseless and then pro-
ceeding to the sons bedroom to take
summary vengeance.
