Among the Railroads.

The damage case of Mr.. w. a.
Lilies, of Morven, against the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, on account OF
personal injuries received in an accl-
dent near MorVen, two or three years
ago was compromised Saturday. the
railroad agreeing to pay Mr.. Lilies
$4,000, and the costs of the action.
This case was tried at the April Term
of Superior Court and the jury gave
Mr.. Lilies judgment for $4,000. The
judgment was reduced by Judge Bry-
an, before whom the case was tried,
to $4,000. The railroad appealed
from this judgment, but, as stated
a above. has now compromised the case,
it having not yet been heard by the
Supreme Court.

Old stumps or to pay the owner SO for
every cord of them that he will pull
himself. For farmers, throughout
thousands OF acres, this is an esti.
mable boon and it will open hundreds
OF thousands more acres as fast as
the stumps are got out.
The company has invented, or ap-
piled existing processes of destructive
distillation of wood to the pine
stumps and is securing a combined
product of great value. There is a
large amount of turpentine in these
dry stumps, also a high grade of lubri-
eating oil, tar and, finally, excellent
charcoal. The discovery that lubri-
eating oil was to be secured from
stumps by carrying the distilled prod
uct to it's last analysis, is quite new,
and no machines for producing this
have yet been installed,' but they are
to be put in at once in the company's
first plant, a few miles south of Du.
luth.

In the old days of excitement, when
mining stocks were on the jump and
men became millionaires over n
days dabbling, an incident occurred
at the country residence of James C.
Flood In Menlo, when a fairly we'll
TODD resident found himself without a
home in the short period of one week.
The mans name was Hank, and, be-
ing a first-class gardener, he readily
found employment about the resi-
dences of the wealthy owners of man
sions. In this way he was employed
at the Flood residence. Hank was
lettering about the garden one Satur-
day evening as the proprietor, in COM
pany with a visitor, was looking over
the stock.
Mr.. Flood, who had just stepped out
OF the hog corral, casually remarked
to his friend that he would be willing
to make a bet that Con would go up
to 800 before CfSistmas.' Hank con-
structed "con" to mean Consolidated
Virginia, and, taking the tip which he
thought would make him a millionaire.
he disposed of his holdings of $50
acres of fine land. his stock, and, in
brief, everything he had on earth ex-

strike root and sprout, and finally
grow up into good trees.
Il saw a fence in the Middle West
that consisted of a straight row Of
beautiful catalpas, each of them
nearly twenty feet high. The row
was SO automatically straight that

SO, especially as the row was nearly
half a mile long. So l rode over to
them and discovered that barb wire
IDENTIFY as a division fence. Later I
met the owner of the land, and he
explained to me how the trees had
come to grow in SO perfect a line.
ABOUT ten years ago. he said,
L wanted to raise a barb wire fence
along the line Of my property, to pre-
vent my cattle from straying. I
went into the woods and we chopped
down a lot of small catalpas, about
sapling size. We chopped the roots
off, leaving a pointed end at the base,
and sawed the crowns off clean, thus
making stakes about eight feet long.
These we drove into the ground in
the row that you saw, and attached
III barb wire to them. Inside Of six
months every stake had begun to
sprout, and since then the fence
stakes have grown into trees"

Tale Of Bonanza DAYS

cept his wife and four bright little
Hanks. The proceeds he invested in
Consolidated Virginia stock, which
was then selling at SIS a share.
Christmas came, but instead Of
Con" going up to $500 it fell to $25.
The man was a pauper. In lamenting
his loss he incidentally mentioned to
a friend of Floods how he lost his all.
Flood. who was generous to a fault,
sent for Hank and had him repeat his
story. When he learned of his chance
remark about Con going to 800 be-
fore Christmas" he fairly shook with
laughter and explained what it meant.
1t was in reference to the gift of a
young SOW. made a present to him by
Con" O'Connor, who, in the fun OF
the thing, had called the pig Con"
The bet alluded to the sow's increas-
ing in weight to 300 pounds before
Christmas and not to Con. Virginia.
Having enjoyed the joke and after
joshing Hank the noble-hearted Flood
bought back the ranch for Hank and
recompensed him for all his losses.
The originality of the joke and the
knowledge of the penalty paid by an
eavesdropper was Floods reward
San Francisco Call.
