full" Thus the state denies to one Hu-
giant, merely because it is a corpora
ton, substantial privilege which is
accorded to the opposing party. 10
do this is to ignore a principle which

| Barbed wire fences have been the
subject of restrictive legislation in
many states in the Union, and have not
/ infrequently ELECTED Judicial censure
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of Mass
achusetts however, evidently thinks
that the courts have sometimes gone
too far in their condemnation of this
/ kind Of fencing. A person walking
along a city street in the night time
wandered on to an adjacent lot across
which was erected a fence of barbed
Wire by which he was injured. In a
suit against the lot owner he sought to
/ recover damages on the principle of the
spring gun cases, in which persons who
/ set spring guns on their premises as a
defence against trespassers are held
liable for any injuries which may thus
/ be inflicted upon trespassers who are
! thereby shot. But Justice Holmes de-
clares that the cases are not analog-
GUS "Barbed wire is well known" he
says, land has been widely used for
fencing as more efficient than common
wire Not only does experience not
warrant saying that the use of it upon
a mans own land, upon which he has
a right to expect people not to trespass,
shows an expectation e. that they will
come there and an intent to hurt them
when they do, but every one knows the
contrary-that barbed wire has been
used by people who had no malicious
intent" The purpose of employing
barbed rather than plain wire is to
make it more difficult to get over the
fence.

a Neighing Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney, and therefore a
cockney means simply one who lives
on the banks of the Thames. Wedge
wood says cockney, or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence, in
contradistinction to rustics hardened by
outdoor work. There is, however, a
legend, almost too good to be true
namely, that Londoner who had never
before slept out of sound of Bow Bells
had occasion to go into the country and
was detained all night.
He was much disturbed by the low
ing Of the cattle. the grunting Of the
pigs and other sounds of country life,
which he could not understand, and in
particular he was frightened by the
growing Of the cock. In the morning,
in response to the farmers inquiries,
he said the sound of the wild beasts had
kept him awake. Just at that moment
the cock crowed again, and the Lon
doner said: "That's the one He's been
neighing like that for hoursp' Since
then Londoners have been called cock
neighs, or cockneys.

Hotel Life In Washington.

At breakfast the other morning a
Washington young woman found n lit.
tie note at her plate saying that her
aunt had arrived from the east the night
before and was at well known hotel.
About oclock she went to the hotel
indicated and asked the clerk whether
the newcomer had been down to break
fast yet. The clerk informed her that
he did not believe she had been down
and offered to send up card.
"Oh, never mind doing that!" she
replied. "You just tell me the number
of her room, and will go up"
mo. =" promptly replied the clerk,
and the young woman took the elevator.
Upon arriving at the door of No. -,
instead of rapping, she softly put her
ear to the door and listened in order
that she might not disturb her aunt if
she were asleep. She heard no noise
and so took out one of her cards, and
after writing. "Will come again at 10
Jane" she tied little bunch of flowers
to it and left it on the knob, where it
would fall into the doorway when the
door was opened.
At 10 o'clock she came again. The
clerk had not seen her aunt and did not
believe that she had left her room. SO,
after looking about the parlors in vain,
she went to the door Of No. - and soft
ly tapped.
"Who is it?" came gruf voice. and
at the same time man opened the
door and stepped ont into the hall.
"Oh, you are the party who was
coming again at 10, are you ?" contin-
ned the man smilingly. "Well, what
can l do for your"
Nothing, thank you," she replied,

An intimate friend of Rear Admiral
John w. Philip tells the following anec-
dote of the gallant naval officer: Though
Philips religious side has been much
emphasized and commented on, he is a
determined man and will brook no op-
position. Once when he was in charge
of the Pacific Mail steamer China he
carried two passengers of foreign ma
tionality who persisted in smoking in
their staterooms during the hours when
smoking was prohibited. Philip, then
captain, called their attention to the
fact, but instead of needing his warn
ing one answered him impudently.
Nothing further was said at the time,
but the next morning the offensive pas
senger was handcuffed to the upper
deck for three hours, and for the re-
mainder of the trip that particular per-
son seemed to have lost all desire to in
dulge in back talk to the captain.

Drumm Ond Was on Top.

Professor Henry Drummond had a
boyish spirit when man, and at the
age of 26 invented game for some
friends at a country house one rainy
evening, He said; ''They play it in
America with bowie knives Four men
are locked in dark room, each in a
corner, and the survivor wins Well
do without the knives; the door and
the shutters shall be shut. each of us
will stand in corner, and the first who
gets on another mans back will be the
winner.
DR.. Smith was in the game, and he
says it was the most exciting one he
ever played. Nobody stirred from his
corner for 30 minutes. Then l heard a
scuffie between two of the others, felt
my way to fling myself on both Of
them, when Drummond pounced on me,
and we all rolled in a heap he, Of
course, ON top, as he always was.
