Australian Poets.

Austr0l1an POetSs
From the London Chronicle.
Praed's prize poem on Australia, which
won the chancellor's medal at Cambridge
in 1923, has never been considered by the
Australians themselves as the best Of the
twenty-five in the competition. That honor
they confer on the one that was placed by
the judges next in merit to Praed's. 1t was
written by young Australian then in Eng
land studying for the bar, William Charles
Wentworth who in later years became the
leader of the agitation for representative
institutions at the antipodes. and earned
the title of the Australian Patriot In
the technical merits, Praeds effort is per-
haps superior to Wentworths, but other
wise all the advantage is on the side of the
latter. Praed never saw Australia, and
consequently his poem is bookish, rhap-
sodical and unreal. On the other hand,
Wentworth's Is full Of first-hand knowledge
and personal observation The concluding
lines of Wentworths poem have provided
tag for many patriotic peroration at
the antipodes:
May this-thy newborn infant-then arise.
To glad thy heart, and greet thy parent
eyes;
And Australasia float, with flag unfurld,
A new Britannia in another world.

EMPLOYERS ARE LIABLE
IMPORTANT OPINION BY THE FED
ERAL COURT OF APPEALS.
because Workingmen Willingly As
sumo Risk and Are Injured They
Are Not Barred from manages

ST. LOUIS, April 25.-Because an employee
remains in the employ of the company
when he we'll knows that n risk is assumed
by so doing does not relieve the employer
OF the responsibility il accidents occur.
This is the gist of an opinion handed down
by the United States Court of Appeals IN
the case of the Southern Pacific Company,
plaintiff in error. against Katie Yeargin, as
aGministratrix of the estate of I. j. Year
gin, deceased. The suit was originally filed
in the Federal Court of Utah by Katie
Yeargin, who sought TO recover damages
for the death of her husband, who was an
engineer on the Southern Pacific Railroad
until killed in 1899 in collision with a
helper engine" Judgment in the lower
court was given for Mrs. Yeargin. and
from this the company appealed on a writ
of error. One of the instructions which the
defendant asked the judge to give the jury
was that Shriver, engineer of the helper
was a fellow-servant, and If it was proven
that his fault caused the injury, the plant
if could not recover. The lower court re-
fused.
Judge Amos Thayer. who wrote the opin-
ion of the Appellate Court, held that the
lower court was correct in this, and said
that If the helper engine had had a
headlight which could have been seen two
miles and a half. instead Of one that could
be seen only 20 yards, Yeargin might have
seen il I'm time TO have stopped his train
and avoided the accident. The trial court
had refused to instruct the jury that if
Yeargin knew that it was the practice OF
the defendant ompan to use only an or
binary lamp in the rear of this helper en-
CINE, when IL was running backwards, he,
with this knowledge, risked the danger in
cident to this. Judge Thayer said that If
such was upheld 1t would enable employers
u avoid the performance of the duty they
owe 10 their employees to exercise reason
able care in providing them with tools, ma
chinery and appliances ordinarily safe and
adapted to the uses to which they are TO
be applied. The court stated that as the
record disclosed no error the decision OF
the lower court would be affirmed. Judge
Sanborn, dissenting. held that the railroad
company was not guilty of negligence, but
that the accident was caused by the act OF
a fellow-servant. and. accordingly, the case
should have been reversed.

GOLD SEEKERS PERILS.
Fate of n Party of Six i'm the Copper
River District of Alaska.

VICTORIA, b. c., April 25.-A terrible
story of the fate of a party of six gold
seekers in the Copper river country comes
from Dawson. where the sole survivor of
the little company has arrived. The party
left Seattle three years ago for Copper
river. and, according to this mans tale, the
treacherous Valdez glacier claimed one Of
the party for it's own. He disappeared I'm
a fissure in the ice. descending a distance
oe seventy-hve feet, where he became
wedged between walls of ice. He remained
conscious and gave final instructions TO his
companions, who were powerless to assist
him. The next misadventure was on a raft.
which was tossed over laundering apids
and broken to pieces against the jagged
rocks. The five men made a desperate
fight for life, but three OF them were never
seen again. Two reached shore, one OF
whom was severely injured internally and
the other with a fractured arm. They were
bereft of all provisions and hundreds OF
miles from civilization. After days of un-
told suffering the spark of life in the man
injured internally was mercifully extin-
guished. His lone partner for thirteen days
wandered on without food. After that his
life became a blank for a period of twelve
months, and when his senses returned he
found himself among friendly Indians.
