THE sURETIES OF A GUARDIAN
ARE LIABLE FOR MONEY OF HIS
WARD WHICH HE HAD RECEIV-
ED AS ADMINISTRATOR BEFORE
HE QUALIFIED AS GUARDIAN,
AND WHICH HAD NOT BEEN
COLLECTED FROM HIM BY THE
GUARDIAN WHO PROCEEDED
HIM.
This was a action on the bond of
Cobb. former guardian of certain
wards by their present guardian.
The case is sufficiently shown by the
head note and the opinion of the court.
The court says:
1t is too we'll settled to need citation
of authority that n guardian and his
bondsmen are liable for all moneys
collected, and for all that ought to
have been collected, and that the trust
imposed must be faithfully performed.
That duty required Cobb. the guardian,
upon his qualification, to collect from
Cobb, the administrator. any balance
in the latters hands due his ward. If
the law ipso facto did not make the
transfer. In either event, the defen-
dantS are liable,

parol agreement that it was not to be
paid, or was to be paid in manner diff
ferent from that provided for in the
covenant or writing.
The fact that she gave receipts for
many years for the annuity. although
nothing was paid her. Is sufficient to
prevent her estate from recovering
anything on the annuity for the years
for which receipts were given, but that
fact furnishes no defence against the
collection of the annuity for the sub
sequent years. Neither does the de-
claration or promise of the testatrix
that she did not intend to collect the
annuity. even if it were satisfactorily
proven. furnish any defense against its
collection. since there was no consider
alton for it. A party does not lose his
right to collect a debt by simply de-
claring that he does not intend to COL
lect 1t. He may change his mind and
collect 1T, unless he has actually re-
leased 1t, or his agreement TO release Is

Dangers from the Cold and BIustery Spring
From New York Herald.

From New York Herald
1.-The present fall of temperature over a
large area Of country, and the probability
OF its continuance for some time, is very
likely to affect the public health by the
Increase of all such troubles as commence
with the Ordinary cold.' In this connec-
ton we cannot lose sight of the fact that
grip is still prevailing. and although 1t
has been on the wane there is threat in
the present cold wave of a revival of the
former malignancy of the scourge.
We can hardly congratulate ourselves
that the danger from pneumonia is likely
to be less with the incoming and incem-
ent spring that 1t was in the months gone
by 1t goes without the saying, then, that
we cannot take too many precautions"

REASONS FOR REFUSING.
Capricfous Women Who Preferred
No Lovers to Those They Had
Accepted.

a young woman of Birmingham,
England, became betrothed last sum-
mer to young solicitor, preliminaries
were arranged and the fond couple
only awaited the arrival home of the
bridegroom father from a lengthy
soiourn in America to be made one.
In due course he came, but when the
bride beheld one who, while he would
have easily qualified for "fat man"
at fair, asserted that in his son he
once again beheld himself in youth,
she refused to fulfill her promise. and
now seeks a lover to whom the future
does not threaten such ample proper
tons.
Some years since lady was en-
gagged to a gentleman who bore the
name and was a relation of a certain
gallant soldier, who, month previous
to the date appointed for the cere-
mony, while on service abroad had
the misfortune to meet with a severe
reverse. No sooner did the news come
to hand than the lady, member Of
whose family had been wounded in
the disastrous action, declined, unless
he should promise to change his
name, to become his wife. To this
caprice the gentleman refused to sub
NIT so the match fell through.
