 Cows Went on Spree.
 Fuly as remarkable as freaks of na.. ture are the freakish things creations or nature do after they once land on earth. For instance, fifteen fine Jersey cows on Whitney's stock farm near Binghampton and created small panic among the men who had charge of them. For a long time no one knew what was the mat ter with the cows. They reeiad scross the field like lot of drunken soldiers: veterinary surgeon was called, ana tioning he discovered that the animals had become drunk from eating wagon load of cider apples which had been dumped in the pasture.

Pleading and practice; when error in rulings of trial court upon the plead- ings will not work reversai.-Cnless IL affirmatively appears that the refusal of a trial court to strike immaterial and ir- relevant averments from the complaint results in injury to the defendant. such refusal, although erroneous, does not con- stitute a reversible error.
 2 Same; when error in ruling upon motion to strike certain portions of the
 complaint without injury.-Where. in an action to recover damages for personal
 injuries, the defendant moved to strike
 certain parts of the complaint as being
 immaterial averments and merely surplus age. which motion the court overruled, and after such ruling on the part Of the court the plaintiff amends the complaint by striking out the part thereof to which he motion to strike was direced, no in jury results to the defendant in overr1ll- ing the motion, and such ruling by the trial court, although erroneous, does not constitute a reversible error.

FREAKS
ARE NOT ONLY FOUND IN THI
 HUMAN FAMILY.
Animals and Also Vegetables Fur. nish Odd Departures from the
 Natural Way of Things.

Nature plays some strange pranks upon the living creatures it brings into the world. These unaccountable phenomena are usually wondered at and passed by with the significant comment, "a freak Of nature" yet this does not explain the queer turns often taken in landing living specimens upon earth with unnatural characteristics to distinguish them from others of their general family.
 Some of them are amusing. For in- stance. Mrs. Luce Barnes, living on a farm near Fargo. N. D., is raising a two. The legs are all perfectly developed, and the chicken experiences no difficulty In using the four in walking. John E.. Allen of Louisiana, Mo. has another poul- try curio. While gathering eggs the other day he came across one to which Is appended a completely formed tail looking for all the world like rat. R.. G. Leach of Wausau, Wis, has another four-legged chicken. which he IS preserv- in in alcohol The chicken apparently would have lived. but its deformity in- cured the hatred of its mother, and she summarily dealt 1t a blow with her bill which ended it's life. At Winchester, Ky. J. w. Gordon found in his chicken coop a hens egg shaped like a jug, rounded at the bottom like an egg. but with the mouth of jug and an extension at the side resembling handle
 Queer Freaks in Colts.
 Calves and colts also seem to be favor ties with nature when 1t starts out on A freakish prank. They are born in all sorts of shapes and with varying types of distinguishing marks. At Treble, Wis, Felix Iindsly. a cattle dealer. came into possession of a perfectly formed and healthy calf whose hide was absolutely devoid of hair except for small tuft on the ton of it's head and a thin covering over the lower part of Its legs. At Mag nolia, Ark. another calf was born with. out bone In its body excepting a tail about four inches in length. which stood up In the middle of it's back. The form of the calf was that of a watermelon. there being no sign of neck nor a mouth save for an aperture about the size of dollar.
 Lorraine. III, owned a two-headed calf, in every way fully developed. From It's neck protected two distinct heads. with four rlostrils four eyes, and but two ears. It lived about ten hours. during which time 1t took nour!shment through both its mouths.
 o'' whole Mine of Freaks.
 Near Uniondale. Pa. more evidence of the freakish turns nature occasionally takes was found while workmen were blasting rocks to enlarge a reservoir. They unearthed small pool of water buried under a great ledge Of rocks. whlch was found to contain some wonderfully unioue specimens. The water in the pool was a bright green but when the mass of rock was taken off 1t turned dark blue Around the edges of the pool were strange mosses or ferns which withered as soon as the rays of the sun encount- | cred them. Through the crevices of the rocks ran great red and blue beetles and ants and | ho led snakes. with hoods and double fangs. wrigged around the edge of the pool. ,- ..,s esr

PRESIDENT DIAz.
The Mexican Executive, Though Aged, is a Tireless Worker.

 I'm inclined to think that if our Pres ident were to cease his routine of hard work he would die" remarked MT. Juan now in this city. At half past 8 o'clock
 every morning General Diaz goes to his office and works until about 1:30 p. m. At 4:30 he goes back again. and scarcely ever leaves before Il, and often not until midnight. His time is spent in the hard est sort of labor, and the President would
 be miserable if he could not carry out the daily program.
 That's the reason why. in my opinion,
 he will never make any trip to foreign countries. A journey of any magnitude would break into his settled habits. He Is a remarkable man in his personal haD, it's. He takes no intoxicating iquors ana is never known to partake of food at banquet. Whether he will serve another
 term as President rests with himseH. The people want him to stay III once as long as he lives.

 Court of Anniston.
 1. Detinue; sufficiency of complaint In aan action of detinue, plea that ''de- fendant further suggests that the title to suit is partly based upon a mortgage" presents no material issue and should, upon motion. be stricken from the file. 2 Same; same.-ln such action, a plea which attempts only to set up fraud in the execution of the mortgage covering the property sued for by the defendants | to the plaintiffs, without showing that plaintiffs title to or right to recover the property depended upon or was affected by the alleged fraud, presents no defense to the action and is subject to demurrer and motion to strike.
 3. Execution of written instrument; attestation by one who did not see party sign.-A writing may be validly attested by one who did not see the parties exc cutting it sign such writing, if such par ties appear before him and acknowledge that the signatures to the writing are their own and requested him to sign in attestation of that fact; and this is true although the signatures of one of the parties to the instrument was made by his name being written for him and he aff1xing his mark thereto.
 f. Mortgage of personal property; when conveys title to agent and gives him right to maintain detinue.-Where a mortgage of personal property Is given to certain named persons described there in as agents of third party, the cer- tain named parties as mortgages &C., quired title to said property and can maintain an action of detinue against the mortgagors upon default being made by them.
 5. Mortgage of personal property; right of possession hereunder; detinue; admis- sibility in evidence.-A mortgage of per- scnal property, in the absence of a stipu- lation to the contrary, vests in the mort gagee a right to immediate possession; and when such mortgage is gwen to se- cure the performance of a contract, If the mortgagor fails to perform tine con- tract, the mortgagee can maintain an action of detinue for the mortgaged property, and said mortgage is not rem dered inadmissible in evidence by the non-production of the contract, the per formance of which was intended to be se- cured by the execution of the mortgage. G. Detinue; mortgage of personal property: sufficiency of judgment-Where in an action of detinue, the plaintiff s right to possession is claimed under a mortgage which was given to secure the performance of contract. which the mortgaeor defendant had failed to per form, if there is a suggestion made upor the record that the suit was by mort gagee against a mortgaGor, as provided by statute Code, Sec. 147O, and the 'caust is tried by the court without the inter vention of a jury. 1t is proper for tho court in rendering judgment to ascer' tain the amount of the mortgage debt tc the amount expressly stipulated for ir the mortgage, as liquidated damages which were to accrue upon the failure oi the defendant to perform said contract
