At the January session of tue Legisla- ture the wide tire law was so amended that it soon becomes operative. The original law, which was passed in 1895, provided that new wagons should have tires of certain specified widths for certain sizes of axle
 This failed of it's object, in a great measure. for the reason that 80 many of the new wagons were merely old ones rebuilt, or at least that was the claim set up, whenever an attempt was made to enforce it.
 The amended law provides that, on and after July l. 1902, aH vehicles must conform to the prescribed width of tire.

Original Greening Apple Tree Dying

Original Greening Apple Tree Dying.
 The original Rhode Island greenine apple tree is still standing on the farm of Solomon Drowne, at Mount Hygea, in North Foster, R I. The tree was g very old one when the farm was sold in 1901. The seller impressed the pur. chaser that it was pity tue old tree was going into decay, as it produced the best fruit of any tree in the Or. chard. The purchaser determined to see how long he could keep it alive and it still remains, after almost another century has been added to it's vener. able years. It shows signs of final de- cay, and the parent of all the famous Rhode Island Greenings, from which cions have been taken and distributed over the apple growing regions of the world. will soon have disappeared - Exchange.

pany agreed to furnish her the remedies

this consideration the plaintiff contracted
to purchase all her stock from the de-
fendant company and devote her time ex-
clusively to the business and to employ
and instruct solicitors. The plaintiff fur
ther states that she entered upon the con-
duct of the business at No. 11O5 + Street
IN this city. and succeeded in building up
a lucrative trade. That on December 2S
1896, she exercised her right of option in
her first contract and in accord notified
the Viavi Company TO extend her contract
for term of five years from February q.
1881. Previous TO this time however in
April, 1895, the plaintiff AYERS that the de-
fendant company violated its contract with
intent 10 wrong her. and in utter disregard

them sold quantities Of the remedies to
residents of the city of Washington and
also to others. In addition to the above
alleged violation of contract the complain
ant states that in August, 1897. the de-
fendant company refused TO supply her
with such articles as were necessary for
the conduct of the business and forcibly
elected her from her office.
