The amount of the claims cannot be

Oldest OF All Lawsuits.

a Spain boasts probably the longest
lawsuit in the worlds history. 1t be-
gan in 1917 and is still sub judice. The
case, which concerns a pension, is be-
tween the Marquis De Viana and the
Count Torres De Cabrera and the ac-
cumulated sum in dispute would have
reached fabulous millions had not four
centuries of attorneys, barristers and
court officials taken c~onsiderate meas
ures of appropriation to prevent the
sum becoming u~nwieldly.
In 1872 the case was, in the deliber-
ate mind of Spanish Jurisprudence,
deemed more or less ripe for a deci-
sion, but circumstances every year
arose which necessitated its being set
back to the year following. The judges,
however, have now become apprehen-
sive lest the suit shou.. reach its fifth
century and as this might reflect upon
the promptitude Of Spanish procedure,
the customary dispatch is to be still
further stimulated to assure that judg-
ment be given within a period not ex-
ceeding two years longer.

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest OF the
localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels. which find a market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New England.
The competition of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates IN these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are alse 9 considerable put
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. TO help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every reachable market, even carry
ing them in large quantities to a place
so remote as Boston. The Aroostook
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate. which it did. BY means of these
low rates. making possible low prices.
the potato crops OF both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ey-
erybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads. had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times. to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered a
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental ad-
iustment such radical and prompt ac-
ton could never have been taken, be-
cause it is well established that If a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
ration they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-Exchange

Governor Douglas of Massachusetts
Gives Advice to Boys.
From a place at the cobbler's bench
Mt a mere pittance, William l.. Douglas
has risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State Of Massachusetts,
that Of Governor, and has made him.
self a millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts of success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American.
The Governor is interested in boys
and declares that these rules are given
for the benefit Of boys. The Governor
says:
Recently, in talking to a delegation of
bright-faced boys, / told them that they
should. in order to make the most of life,
obey the old maxim, "Stick to your last
If YOU don't you'll find that old ogre,
called trouble. bobbing up in your path
way every now and then, and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms with
success. Fortune, you know, favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is the one with courage
enough TO stick TO his last in the face
of early rebuffs and temporary reverses.
He's the fellow who will eventually be
able to laugh at trouble and to get chum-
my with success. What would you think
of a shoemaker who, after making part
of a shoe on one last, became dissatis-
fed and started another shoe on a diff
ferent last, keeping up this method until
he had finally spent all his money for
stock and had nothing but a lot of half

way to do, isn't it? But it's no more
foolish than for a young man to tackle
A new line of business every little while
until he grows too old - learn any bust
ness thoroughly.
Everything in nature is fitted TO do one
thing we'll and spends it's whole life do
ing it. You never hear of the ant going
into the hOney-making business; nor of
the bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows it's place in the wcrld
and sticks TO it, and that is what boys
must do if they would accomplish great
things. Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something,
and if that aptitude is properly devel-
Oped the process of selecting a last is
Simplitied. And remember always to
keep your ambition up to the top notch.
Whatever you do, try to do it better
than the other fellow. At school make
it a point to stand at the head of your
class: and at play don't be satisfied until
you can jump the farthest or throw the
straightest. Then when you enter bust
ness life this matter Of getting ahead
will become a habit.
Now another thing to think about is
this: Don't try TO do what you like-do
what you can. That's a good compan-
ion piece for "stick to your last" Don't
let the attraction Of something you don't
know lure you away from the thing you
do. Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom. ..
