FAKE DAMAGE SUITS
Editorial from Houston Post }

fEOlLOlldl IFDll dOQSIO1
The sensational developments at
Fl. Worth in the Oran Hoskins
damage suit have attracted public
attention and emphazise some of
the periIs to railroad corporations
and the public incident to the
bringing OF suits for personal in
iuries.
Had the judgment in the case
been small one it would have at
tractet. lar less attention, but in
this case the plaintiff had recover
ed judgment against the Frisco
railroad for $35 900, to indemnify
him for injuries, supposedly of the
most serious nature, and of life
long duration. The fact that Hos
kins was able to present testimony
inculpating the corporation for the
infiiction of his injuries, and expert
medical testimony-to show how Sc
rious the injuries were, and to OBJ
tain a jury verdict for $4,000 for
damages. and which injuries turn
ed out to be pretended and not real,
indicates the possibilities for fraud
ulent damage suits.
No fair man can be opposed to
proper recoveries Tor personal in
juries against railroad corporations.
In fact, in all cases where such cor
poration are legally liable damages
should be awarded that are fairly
compensatory for the injuries suffer
ed; yet, at the same time, the pub
lie must be aware of the fact that
all recoveries for personal injuries
by employees and others are a part
of the operating expenses of the
railroads, and as such are taxed !
against the commerce of the coun-
try.
Producers and consumers, who
pay the expenses of operating the
railroads. ought at least to be pro-
tected against fraudulent claims
and excessive verdicts for imaginary
injuries. In truth, the bringing and
prosecution of cases without merit |
are an injustice to claims for dam
ages possessing real merit, and,
sooner or later, if persisted in, the
revulsion in sentiment caused there
by will probably result in inficting
injustice upon bona fide claimants.
The railroad commission has call
ed attention in its annual reports
to the growth of penalties inflicted
upon railroad corporations in the
matter of payments for personalin-
juries. 1t is estimated that more
than a million and a half dollars
was paid during the last fiscal year
by the railroads for this character
of claims.
The value of $4,000 bales of cot
ton paid by the public for personal
injuries alone is a serious tax upon
the commerce of the country, and
ought to impel the railroads to pro-
vide as much as possible against
accidents, employees of railroads to
be verv careful in the discharge of
their duties, lawyers to be careful
to bring only meritorious suits, and
courts and iuries to render only
fair and just verdicts and judg-
ments.

Care of Winter Apples,

Gathering and storing winter apples
is an important duty that must be at
tended to before the heavy frosts begin
in the fall. Apples that are to be kept
over winter should be carefully picked
and placed in barrels. After picking
they should be left in the open air for
some time, as this tends to thoroughly
ripen them. They also pass through a
sweat at first, and it is much better if
they can be left exposed so that all sur
face moisture is evaporated. Fruit
should be placed in cool, dark cellar
In some instances where there are a
few barrels of specially good apples
the practice is adopted OF wrapping
the apples in paper. This prevents
them from coming in contact with one
another and will insure their keeping
1t usually pays to pick over apples two
or three times during the winter, SO
that those showing signs OF decay may
be discarded. Windfalls should never
be placed among apples that are hand
picked. A plentiful supply Of apples
to be used IL the family during the
winter will contribute much to the
general haalthfulness of every member
of the family-Iowa Homestead.

LEAPS ON STAGE TO
STOP MRS. CARTER.
Jealous Lawyers Clerk Jumps from Pri-
vate Boz to Serve Papers on
Actress

New York. Nov. ia Jealous law
yer's clerk has caused considerable OK
element at Beascos theater by leaping
to the stage from Il box and serving pa
pers on Mrs. Leslie Carter giving notice
OF suit for an injunction restraining
the Belasco management from producing
"Zaza' in this city
The curtain had just been raised on
the hrst act when the clerk, elbowing
his way through a box occupied by sew
eral ladies and their escort, leaped to the
stage. Mrs. Carter was about to begin
her lines when the documents were thrust
into her hands. For moment she APP
peared greatly frightened by the intru-
slon and the clerk, driven back from the
wings by stage hands, was compelled to
leave by the way lie came. He hurriedly
fed to the street.
Only a few persons in the audience
saw the papers and realized what had
caused the incident.
The suit is said to arise from a dispute
with another manager and part owner as
to the rights for the play in this city
during the season.
The action against Mrs. Carter was
brought by Eugene Blair, who claims
the rights to 'Zaza."

The Farm and the Man.
How any farm should be cropped
depends upon where the farm is, its
character and location. Some farms
are by nature pasture farms, because
luey are not dudpteu 10 CulllFdtlOH,
other farms invite tillage. Size, too,
is a controlling factor. A crop rota
ton and schedule of farm work that
is admirable for fifty acres may be
wholly impractical for five hundred
Or thousand. The ambition to own
and cultivate broad acres is an Ameri-
can disease. This disease is not so
much a desire to add to worldly pos
sessions as it is for a qualification Of
the ownership of dominion; when an
alyZed it will be found to be feature
of mans kinship with nature
Another and the most important fac
tor Of all is the man himself The
man makes the farm good or bad, as
he makes every thing else that comes
under his control The experience of
one farmer is invaluable to another,
but each farm is nevertheless a separ-
ate and local problem which the farm
er must think out and work out him.

a delicious morsel for the hen, and she
will turn it to good account, too.
Pork also adds it's mite, and it is not
a small mite, either, to the revenues
of the up-to-date dairy farm. During
the last few years pork has sold at
splendid figures. For the money it
brings in, pork involves perhaps as
little labor as anything about the farm.
Here, too, is a place where one must
be in love with his business. That is
the only key to success.
