Hattie Boggs, guardian of Lurla and
Rushing Boggs, yesterday brought suit in
the Superior Court against Squire Boggs
asking damages for waste committed on
her wards land.
The complaint alleges that w. w. Boggs
died about six years ago leaving real es-
tate upon which was located timber of the
value of $1,000 to her two wards. The de-
PENDANT was TO have a life estate in the
property, but could cut no timber except
that which was to be used as firewood.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendant cut
and sold over $1,000 worth of timber and
otherwise damaged the property, for which
she asks $500

CONGESTION ON BIG FOUR
CONNECTIONS NOTIFIED 1T WILL NOT
RECEIVE LOADED CARS.
Order May he i'm Force Week. but
Local Shippers VIII Not BE Affected
-GeneraI and Personal Notes.

Traffic conditions have become so con-
gested on the Big Four line at indianapolis
that orders were issued yesterday to con-
Meeting roads that that line would not,
until further notice. receive any loaded
cars from connections. Yesterday morn
ing there were fully 1.5OO loaded cars stand
ing on side tracks at Indianapolis which
the company was unable TO move, and con-
tinued receiving freight from it's connec-
tions. The order may be in effect the en-
tire week, certainly four days. Shippers
on the Big Four will not be inconveni-
enced, as the road will continue to take
business originating on its own lines.
No Agreement to Discharge Employees.
Officials of practically all the leading
Western railroads deny that there is any
general agreement to discharge employees
with view of curtailing expenses and at
the same time to discourage an attempt
on the part of labor to make further de-
mand for higher wages. All action taken
in the matter is by the roads separately.
The Illinois Central will In the near future
reduce the number of shopmen, but many
extra men were put on a short time ago
TO push repairs, which were behind, and
the curtailment now will simply reduce
the shop force to normal again. Although
IL has been announced that the Vanderbilt
lines will reduce their shop forces, officials
of several of the lines deny that there is
any intention of so doing. The North
western roads have more traffic offered
than they have cars and engines to handle,
and the officials regard the report of
wholesale discharges as mere nonsense.
Said an executive officer of one of the big
systems: ''Of course, should traffic fall off
fewer men will be needed in all depart
ments, but there is no sign now of de
crease in volume of business which would
prompt managers of Western lines or of
the Central Traffic roads to discharge large
numbers of men,.

sudden Death Forbidden.

The sultan of Turkey insists that
every ruler or person Of high polit-
zeal Importance should die natural
death. The Stampa, of Turin, says
that other manners of death are not
officially recognized by Nischan Eff
fendi, the censor.
When King Humbert was assassi-
mated at Mona, the Turkish newspa-
pers announced the sad event in this
way:
"King Humbert left the hall amid
the frenetic cheers Of the people. Tho
king, much affected, bowed several
times, and to all appearance was inn
mediately dead"
When the shah Of Persia was as
sassinated, the Turkish papers said:
in the afternoon the shah drove to
his summer palace, and there COM
planned of illness. His corpse was
sent to Teheran."
One paper excelled all others by
this piece of euphemistic simplifca-
ton: ''The shah felt little ill, but
finally his corpse returned to the
palace"
This was too much even for the
Turks, who keep the phrase as one
Of their proverbs.

An Endurins Record.

Standing side by side in an old
Long Island cemetery are four tomb
stones. They commemorate the vir-
tues of the successive wives Of one
of the towns inhabitants, who, from
the point Of experience. at least,
should be able to rival Max O'Rell as
an observer Of feminine traits.
A peculiar thing about the monu-
ments is that not alone do they per-
petuate the memory of each Of his
helpmates, but they serve as sort
of financial barometer to record the
husbands rising fortunes.
The first wife had modest little
headstone. The second wife's memo
rial was on the same order, but. it
was at least two feet taller. The
third wife differed both as to style
and size, being greatly superior to
either of the others, while tn the
fourth and last was granted the dis
tinction Of granite shaft.-N. Y.

FoldinE = Tableclotn,

When not in use tablecloth
should be kept in folded creases, and
when brought out to be spread
should be laid. on the table and un-
folded its entire length (the width
being doubled). with the center
crease along the center of the table.
Then the half breadth that is folded
should be turned back and the cloth
will hang evenly. Careless servants
often gather up cloth "anyhow,"
without taking the trouble to fold
it up again in it's own. creases. and
thus fresh ones are. made. A table,
cloth will last fresh looking as long
again it it is always folded up after
its own folds and put away until the
next meal.-Washington Star.

F, An old farmer-old enough 70 know
hetter-says that the WY. to cure 5
cow Of Kicking - to catch her BIZ ths1
leg just 10 she is sabont to kick.
She should bss graspeds firmly; a.
close to the h6of - possible, yandsthe
grip must not relax until the kicking
impulse il over. OF course, the
kick must be headed of, as it were.
and not met halfway, nor even three
quarters way, says the. Cleveland
Plain Dealer. It is good idea 70
get the hired man to accustom him
self to this simple fact, but at tho
same time 1t must not be forgotten
that q good hired man can easily be
spoiled byrcareless inattention to Idi.
rections.
At first It might be well to use ,
cowcatcher, or possibly an ordinary
fender, together with catcher's
mask and padded gloves. Naturally
it will be well to conceal your ap-
pearance from the COW az much a.
possible, because SO many cows are
timid and easily scared by strange
objects. Then when the COW slightly
raises her hoof and shivers appre-
hensively along the ankle, don't wait
for further developments, but grasp
the lower leg firmly and hang on for
dear life.
A man named Mullins had kick.
ing cow of IA horsepower, and some
body told him about the grab-the-leg
cure. Mullins told it to his hired
man. The hired man had had the
milking stool kicked from under him
several times, and the milk pail bat.
tered into scrap tin, and he said he
would be glad to try the recipe. So
he put on a pillow for q chest pro-
tector and jumped for the leg as soon
as he saw the premonitory symp.
toms.
Well, sir, he went through tho
stable window as neat as you please.
taking the sash along with him.
When Mullins reached him he was as
dazed as mudlark.
" Nearthquake?" he feebly NUT
tered.
'No," said Mullins, "the cow kicked
you"
"Cow kicked met" the hired man
repeated. II wonder how it hap.
pened?"
81 wonder?" said Mullins.
But Mullins thought he knew,
though he hesitated about saying SO,
for fear of hurting the victims feel
ings-and he was hurt enough ale
ready.
The trouble was that the hired man
was SO awfully cross-eyed that he
