GARDNER v. cAYLoR.
Supreme Court OF Indiana
January 30, 1900.

January 80, 1900.
WHERE a PURCHASER AGREED
TO TAKE a CERTAIN AMOUNT
OF ICE EACH MONTH, AT A
STIPULATED PRICE, AND BOUND
THE SELLER NOT TO SELL TO
ANY ONE ELSE. THE SELLER
CANNOT RECEIVE DAMAGES
FOR BUYERS REFUSAL TO
TAKE THE AMOUNT, WHEN HE
NEITHER RENDERED 1T. NOR
AATMEPTED TO SELL 1T AT THE
MARKET PRICE.
This was an action for damages for
breach of contract OF SALE The facts
appear from the opinion of the court.
The court says:
The contract was one Off sale, by
which appellant agreed to Sell, and APP
pellee to take, SO much Ike per month
The suit is not for leg delivered. but
for damages from a5pellees failure to

SHOW was ct no time less than the con-
tract pric&, and. before appellant can
recover The contract price, he must
either Have delivered the property to
appellHes, or have done such as would
have/ vested title In appellees If they
had consented to accept 1t. The gen.
efal rule Is that If a contract to deliver
goods is broken, the measure of dam
ages is the difference between the con-
tract price and the market price of the
goods at the time and place that the
contract is broken, and, IL a contract
to accept and pay for goods Is broken
by vendors refusal to accent them.
the measure of damages Is governed by
the same rule. 1t Is true, the contract
provides that appellant should sell ice
to no person other than appellees dur
ing the time specified. But this bound
appellant not only SO long as appellees
complied with the contract, and re-
ceived the Ice delivered, or rendered:
for If he delivered it, or offered to de-
liver it. appellees could certainly not be
heard to object. If he sold it to other
parties. 1t is we'll settled that 1t is the
duty of party subjected to Injury
from a breach Of contract to make
reasonable exertion to render the in
jury as light as possible. If, through
his own negligence or wilfullness, his
damages are enhanced, and such dam
ages could have been avoided through
reasonable eXertion, the Increased loss
Is his own. Constituting the findings as
q whole, we can but conclude that they
show that appellant sustained no sub
stantial damage. There was, perhaps,
q breach of the contract, which would
have authorized nominal damages, but
q courts failure to assess such dam
ages will not be renewed on appeal. A
failure to assess nominal damages does
not affect the substantial rights of the
parties, and is not reversible error.

Lesson Drain From the Conaio. between
David snd aoliah-what BoastfuIness
and self-conceit win Do-An 1nstrue-
tive Discourse.

Extract from a sermon on Self
Reliance" by Dr. Cohen at Chef Sho-
lom Synagogue. delivered Friday even
ing, April 6. 1900. based on the nth
chapter of the First Book OF Samuel,
which treats of the conflict between
David and Goliath.
This story reveals what boastfulness
and self-conceit will do. But Ii also
reveals how short-lived is their success
The boastful. self-concelted Goliath
turned whole army into towards for
forty days; but in the end fell ignobly
at the hands of David. Everyone can
recall from their own experience some
boastful fellow who, for time, has
inspired fear and respect among his
associates and friends, and has thus
succeeded; but when discovered sinks
as deep in disgrace as he had risen in
favor. Boastfulness and self-conceit
are the shadow of which self-reliance
is the substance. They are not lasting
They are self-reliance without a foun-
dation. They will stand as long as no
adverse wind Is hurled against them
Let opposition appear and they crum-
BILE at Its touch like the Apple Of
Sodom." Therefore. as boastfulness
and self-concelt can yield only tenn
porary success, we must shun them,
employing them we may prevail for a.
time like Goliath, but in the end we
VIII fall If only a stone is hurled at
us.
Second. The story also reveals what
lack OF self-rellance will do. Saul and
israel lacked self-rellance. They were
ready to admit defeat and accept the
yoke of others. How many are there
who have turned towards before a
modern Goliath? How many are there
ready to admit defeat In life and accept
the yoke of others? Who of you has
come face to face with some great big,
unfortunate Philistine of desire, or pas
sion, or wrong, or hatred, and you feel
that you must give up? Who of you
has met some great Goliath in daily
iiie-a business reverse. a difficult posi-
ton, an enemy who wishes to ruin you
check In life. great overmasterinC
sorrow, an opposition that rises before
you and casts its shadow across our
path in life.-and you think you must
surrender? tell you lack of self
reliance is dragging you to defeat.
You have lost trust In yourself and
God. Fling away the fear of Saul and
israel. Buckle on the armor of n
brave. independent, hopeful heart. and
go out to meet your enemy as a man.
II your cause is just and holy, if YOU
qualify yourself. as you ought and
must, and rely on yourself and a Just
God. you will in the end succeed.
