the pannis that they were called COM
panions. A nice conceit truly; but did
not the banner float over the mess table,
and really get its name from that
fact?
Thus it was that in the days of cfivalry,
when the full-panoplied warrior and his
steed made such a gay show, and when
the stable was almost as supreme as the
palace; in the days, indeed, when knight
hood was in flower, the chevaliers and
the knights had companions or cadets,
attending spirits or sprites of their own.
You can now not only understand the
purport of knights companions, which
in the orders of knighthood abroad to-
day may have puzzled you; but you will
understand what the phrase cadets
of a certain family or house MEANS the
latter phrase leads not only to the humble
caddie of the golf links, but strikes home
to the raw bone in the speech of the Bow
cry, where it reeks with reproach.
Let us, however, get breeze off the
Atlantic. In making your first trip
across the pond you soon became
acquainted with the companionway,
which is made SO really companionable
in every sense. The companionway,
you will find when you reach your desti-
nation in Rome and you explore the Fo-
rum, was there called coHtzti1tU1, a place
where lone went with another, equiv
alent to the phrase going with" as
applied to a companion of either kind.
Whether the c0BtttzuDt referred, however,
to shipmates, | shall not decide but
you will there find that the ship was still
ahoy, for the rostrum, the place from
where orators harangued or held forth, 1"
you will be told, was marked by the beaks
or prows, or rodra, of the ships the sea-
dogs of the day had captured in actual
fight. The companions of the coB1ttin1u
gave rise to another brood of companions:
the comics, who became counts, who
were the companions of rulers or mon
archs-rnen who by their conquering
ability could stand before Kings. These
companions ruled over counties and be-
came the courtiers of the royalties of the
world
Where the horse ruled, there were too
the comes stabuIt, companions of the stable;
for in those days it was only those of the
highest rank that were fit to witch the
world with noble craftsmanship. The
comes aobuh became the high constables
of France, the marshals of armies, and
also the constables, perhaps a little
/ less powerful, of Our modern munich
/ palities.
So much for the mpanionships, the
/ fellowships, that have done such service
in the making and shaping of some of the
best things in the world, of that world
which is still ours. And again, and as a
last word, let it be said: Beware of the

thru the cut.
The plaintiffs were John Gill. Quinn

killed in the accident. The young
men were driving from Cherokee 70

were unable to see the approaching

VERDICT FOR HALLAM.
Ten Thousand Dollar Sioux City Suit
Taken From the Jury.

Ten Thousand Dollar Sioux City SUIT
Taken From the Jury.
Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City, Nov. "a verdict for
the defendant has been directed by
Judge John f. Oliver, in the case Of
C. A. Gross VS.. H. Bernard Hallam,
which he took from the jury. The ac-
ton thus removed from the docket was
a $4,000 suit brought by Mr.. Gross
following the killing of his ~ -year+old
son in the rear of the Hallam garage.
The little boy was watching the re-
pairing of an automobile. A gasoline
tank within the building caught fire
and it was thrown out of the door, the
oil going over the boys clothes. His
clothes caught fire and when the flames
were extinguished he had been horribly
burned. He died from the effects Of
the burns.
The evidence introduced showed that
the boy had been standing inside the
building when the accident occurred
and therefore under the law he was
a trespasser. 1t also showed that he
had been repeatedly warned by the
workmen in the place to keep away and
his father had told him to keep away.
Judge Oliver held that under the evil
dence there was no liability on the
part of Mr.. Hallam and excused the
Jury.

rearranged Soon after the result of
his work was made known, which was

granted. Then harder work followed
to get postponement and have the
reinvestigation before the rearranged
service was put into effect. In all five
different dates were set to have the
county service go into effect, the las.
date being December LIST. However,
Immediately after the fourth date of
Inauguration reinvestigation was
made by Postoffice Inspector Elston,

recommended that the county service
orders be rescinded and the service al
lowed to continue as at present. Re-
