time and hours of patient, intelligent
effort are expended to make the horse

the market as nature made him and

An Important Decision.

Decision against the knights Of
Pythias has been rendered by the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the Fifth
district in case brought by Mrs.
Josephine r. Withers of Hale county,
Alabama. The Supreme lodge refused
to pay policy on the life of her hus-
band because the secretary of the To-
cal section failed to forward premiums
paid TO him. 1t was cOntended that
the secretary was the agent of the
policy-holder. but the court holds he
was the agent of the Supreme lodge,
and that his neglect did not make the
policy void.
