State of Wisconsin Wins Penalty
Cases for classification
of Reports.

Madison, Wis, July 1.-THE state
won the penalty cases against the Chi
cago and Northwestern; Chicago, Mil.
waukee and st. Paul; Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, and the
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie railroads. Judge Stevens in the
Dane county district court filed his
decision.
The court finds that the state is en-
titled to recover from each $4,000,
as the defendants admitted they falsi-
fed their reports of gross earnings for
the year 1902.
The state still has an action against
the same railroads to recover penal
ties upon the reports of earnings
which they made for the year 1908.
1t has penalty suits also against the
Wisconsin Central. the Green Bay and
Western. the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, and the Illinois Central.

The Surgeons Nightmare.

Two patients who called in company
upon noted surgeon found him be-
moaning twinge of pain in his right
forefnger. The callers smiled.
Great Scott, DOCTOR exclaimed one,
you don't mean to say that a pain in
the finger bothers man so used to
scenes of suffering as yourself!'
at certainly Does" the surgeon an
swered, with worried look. How
do l know that it isn't the first symp
tom of blood poisoning? That is the
nightmare of the surgeon. No matter
how careful he may be, he is liable to
contract poisoning in operating, and
that kind of poisoning is of the most
virulent type. Any time surgeon is
complaining about pain in the hand
sympathize with him, for he is doing
some hard guessing" - Philadelphia

Green.

Owing to it's derivation the word
green was originally applied to the
color of vegetation, but not to the color
of the sea. No application of "green"
to the color Of the sea is quoted before
Chaucer but as early as the year 700
1T was used for vegetation. The word
is akin to grass" and grow" which
verb originally belonged to the vegeta-
BILE world alone. Vegetables grew"
but animals "waxed." Green" comes
from an Aryan root, "ghahr," meaning
to be green or yellow, and yellow"
gold and "yolk' come from that
same root
