Well, 1880 goes said |. Now I
walked up the street-it was not half

whose business had not been satisfac-

little while with the clerks in my de-
partment-this was the biggest store
in town-and little by little caught on
to the fact that some Of my COM

for Z fair order. III

to the hotel. I was just about two
thirds through with my luncheon
when saw my old customer with the

right at the start that he had been
worshipping false gods elsewhere, and
when was through with him about
three o'clock he had given me the
best order had taken for years. 1t
was really lucky thing for me that
he had turned me down for q season
or two because the town was too big
a one for me to confine myself to him.
and this gave me a chance to go out
and work on other people-a thing
which perhaps would not have done
1t he had not turned me down.

were children we worked on tho

easy by the hard work Of father

one thing for which my parents

washington, April AIN an pinlon
by Justice Brown, the supreme court
OF The United States Monday decided
the case OF the Houston and Texas
Central Railroad COMPANY W. J. A
M1yes In favor OF the company. The
case involved a claim made by Mayes
against the railroad company on ac.
count OF failure Of the road to prompt.
~ supply cars for the shipment OF
cattle. and brought into question the
validity Of the Texas state law under
which he claim arose.
Mayes in 1903 lived In I.lano county.
ieAas, and engaged seventeen cars for
the transportation of CTS head of cat
tie TO Red Rock, Okla. the agreement
being chat the cars were to be furnish.
ed April 20 of that year. The cattle
were driven into the stockyards on
the morning of that day, but the cars
TOT their shipment did not arrive until
The afternoon of the next day. Mayes
made d claim for damages on account
Of weight and other injuries to his cat
ue TO the extent of So per head, or
Si,sf5, and also in accordance with the
state law for $425 as a penalty under
his contract with the railroad compa-
ny. The case was begun in the dis
trlct court of Llano county, which
awarded him the full amount OF the
penalty and $500 damages. The sill
preme court for the Third judicial dis.
trlct of Texas affirmed this decision.
n the railroad brought the case to
the supreme court on a writ of error.
setting up the unconstitutionality of
the law providing a penalty of s25 a
day on each car ordered as in the
case.
Justice Browns opinion sustained
this contention on the ground that the
law t~ranscends the police power of
the state and ~encroaches on the DOW
err of the national government to con.
troll state commerce. He said that the
law takes no account of the possible
ty of accident. and is too arbitrary.
The chief justice and Justices Har.
Ian and Mckenna ~dissented.
