A Dozen Country Eggs.

(Philalelphla -PuDllc lAeuSsI.1
She was an energetic lady whose
adage is Save the pennies ana the
dollars will take care Of themselves
Not long ago she decided that hard
boiled eggs would be pleasant diver
sion from meat for light supper. and
promptly bought a dozen best eggs
from the corner grocery. She gave the
proper directions to the maid and went
out on the stoop, happy IN the con-
seriousness that the supper was planned
for one day at least. But her atten-
ton was soon attracted by huck-
ester's wagon in which was huge box
of eggs.
How much" she asked. and was
astonished at the reply. rs cents
and country eggs, at that"
Being quick to act where money mat
tiers were concerned, she bought doz-
en- eggs at IS cents. and delivering
them to the maid. instructed that the
other be carefully put back in the same
paper bag in which they had come
and taken over to the grocery. And
tell them, please, to give you back
90 cents" she added, sweetly.
However. it was scarcely more than
an hour later that the grocery man
came around himself and rang the
front door bell yiciously.

CORPORATIONS MANAGER,
Where the managing officer OF cor
poration devoted his entire business
days. of approximately nine hours'-and
about one-half of his evenings, to the
|company's service. it could not be SAID
that he failed to give his full time to
the company. altho a the same time ne
looked after his mothers estate ana
the finances of another company. and
occupied place on the directory of a
bank. But where II is shown that the
managing officer did not discover for
seven years that the secretary had been
withdrawing funds in excess of his sal
airy. and then permitted him to remain
in office and appropriate more funds for
several months. under the belief that
he might reform and the indebtedness
be reduced the trial court was justified
| in finding that the manager was liable
for the money taken.-95 Northwestern
Rep. wisconsin. Judge Dodge, 3s4.
BANKS-LIABILIT
! II directors OF a bank execute and
deliver promissory note payable to Its
order. to make good an impairment of
its assets, and that 1t may continue TO
do business. they can not, upon the APP
pointment of q receiver In insolvency
proce edngs, be allowed to assert as
defense that there was nc consideration
for the note. and that they were mere
llv accommodation makers.--95North-
western Rep. minnesota, Judge Col
lins). 449.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
Where defendant willfully and in
tentionally drove or forced his horse In
contact with person lawfully walking
along public highway, such act was
sufficient to constitute an assault and
battery, even tho he did not have the
lines or the immediate guidance of the
horse, but urged his driver to the ac-
ton. One who undertakes to pass an
other vino is walking in the highway is
bound at his peril not to strike the PEE
destrian in so doing.-55 Atlantic Rep
delaware, Judge Lore. j.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Where a statute regulating public
schools gives the board of directors
power to suspend or expel all refrac-
tory pupils after hearing and a full ex-
animation. 1t Is held that the investi-
CATION of charges against pupil may
be delegated to committee of the
board when the action is afterwards
reported to and reviewed by the whole
board of directors. Under such cir
cumstances the finding of the board is
conclusive and the board can not be
compelled by manadmus proceedings.
TO restore such pupil on the rolls of the
school after he had been suspended or
expelled.-55 Atlantic Rep (Pennsylva-
MAD. 80.
LIFE AND CAREER OF A SHIP.
In Tucker vs. Alexandroff. 1s3 U. 81
43S, Mr.. Justice Brown uses the fol-
lowing language: "A ship is born when
she is launched and lives so long as her
identity is preserved. Prior to her
launching she is a mere congeries OF
wood and iron-an ordinary piece OF
personal property-as distinctly land
structure as house ard subject only
to mechanics liens created by state
law, and enfrocible in the state courts
In the baptism of launching she re-
ceives her name. and from the moment
her keel touches the water she is trans
formed and becomes subject of adj
miralty jurisdiction"

APPORTIONING OFFICES.
lGlidden Granhic.I

SO far the only argument advanced
against Hon. Thomas d. Healys cam
didacy for the federal judgeship for the
northern district of Iowa, is that he is
resident of Fort Dodge, and that Fort
Dodge has enough in the way of official
plums. Some of the friends of other
candidates are disposed TO take the
view that their own chances will be
enhanced by using this argument
against Healy. We doubt the correct
ness of their diagnosis. We never did
like this method OF apportioning Of
fees. It's good deal like putting
beef on the scales to balance brains.
Carried to Its logical sequence, and this
judgeship would probably go to some
one horse lawyer or maybe farmer
at the headquarters of Hell slough. 1t
would be figured out like the center of
population. and when the location of
the stake had been determined, OF
course the plum would go to the man

Half Past People.


Who are half past people?
Who and what are they?
They're the rankest failures
On this ball of clay.
Through a curse that on them
Placed an eldritch fate
At their birth, they're always
Thirty minutes late
'Tisn't i'll intention,
'Tisn't laziness
Or indifference or
Vanity in dress
That retards the wretches.
Body, mind and soul:
Nay, they rush like fury
Ever for the goal.
Yet when love expects them
Say, at ten o'clock
They will sprain their ankles
On some wicked rock,
Making an appearance
At the trysting when
Love has left discouraged
Thirty after ten.
Should ambition tell them,
Seven sharp we start
Out for fame In battle.
Out for gold in mart"
Then. at half past seven.
Breathless they would come
Only to be hearing.
Far away, the drum.
Thus the half past people
Through the spleen OF fate
Live. except at failure.
Thirty minutes late.

Upon the bridge that arched his nose
A tingling Utilization rose
A vibrant, agoniZing itch
That reused him to the highest pitch.
In vain he twisted up his lip:
In vain his nose Writhed at the tip;
In vain his eyes began to blink,
And all his dignity to shrink.
wave of red suffused his brow
AS thru his nerves began to plough
The ouivering. insistent thrills
The warning which ones system fills.
One last attempt to stay its strength
But nature must give way at length;
DESPITE the holding of his breath
That sneeze must come, as sure as
death.

The trumpet messages simply flew.
Across the sea the sound was hurled
He sneezed the sneeze heard round the

The Ghosts of Yesterday.


When midnight spreads her cold
Damp mantle DER the land
And spectral shapes unfold
And rise on every hand,
Then from the eerie light,
There comes in wierd array,
All spectral like and white,
The ghosts of yesterday.
The chances that were lost,
The wit that came too late,
Each eager project crossed,
BY leering tricks Of fate;
The dollar wildly spent,
The play that failed to win,
Each lapse of good intent,
Each thing that might have been
The last unlucky glass,
The word that cost a friends
Before our eyes they pass,
Dead deeds without an end.
We con them DER and DER,
In sorrow and dismay,
All. did they live once more.
Those ghosts of yesterday!
