A lady resident of Mexico, Mo-, has
just won a curious lawsuit brought
against her by Connecticut firm
which manufactures bronze monu-
ments. Some time ago she ordered
from the plaintiffs 1884 bronze mon
ument to be erected on the grave of her
parents, with this inscription:
''The Lord is my shepherd,
shall not want"
The engraver made it read fear" In
stead Of want" and Mrs. Doty re-
fused to pay the bill. The lawsuit fol-
lowed. The Judge instructed the jury
that il they considered tie inscription
to be a material variance from the
words of the psalmist they should find
for the defendant, and they did so.
