Rights on the Road.

An English jurist recently laid down
the law of the road in an automobile
damage case which some reckless
drivers of motor cars in this country
would do we'll to keep in mind. Per-
haps some judge will find authority in
our own statutes for similar rulings.
It seems that an autoist had run
down and killed a cyclist while the lat
ter was crossing railway tracks and
looking and listening" for trains. A
jury awarded the cyclists widow ST.
500 in damages, Notwithstanding evil
dence introduced by the motOrist that
he had tried to attract the cyclists at
tention by hooting and shouting. An
appeal from the verdict in the trial
court was taken, and the claim Of con-
tributory negligence on the part Of the
cyclist was earnestly urged.
The court Of appeal sustained the
verdict, and the lord chancellor ex-
planned the decision by saying that
failure to heed the motor horn does
not necessarily indicate negligence
Said he:
When people are driving motor cars or
other vehicles on the public highway they
have the duty to remember that deaf
persons blind persons and decrepit old
persons are tist as much entitled to use
the public highway as they are. and If
anybody thinks proper so to drive that
there Is chance of serious consequences
from mistake Of judgment or miscalcu-
lation and those consequences are not
averted he will have to pay for them in
damages.
Even the speed regulations would
not protect an autOist under this ruling,
for the autoist would be bound to
bear in mind that safe rate of speed
under some circumstances would be a
dangerous rate under others. In itself
the auto is not dangerous when re-
stricted to it's legitimate uses. The
harm comes when reckless and ire
sponsible drivers ignore the rights of
the deaf, the infirm or otherwise help.

EASTMAN JOHNSON.

He Was Once Invited to BE Court
Painter at The Hague.
Holland, the country above all 9th
ers to which art owes gratitude for the
creation and maintenance Of sane ira
ditions of painting, rendered signal
service to American art in the middle
Of the last century in the solid tech
meal training which it gave to East
man Johnson.
The education of our earlier painters
had been various. When the nineteenth
century was nearing its middle period
there was a general exodus of students
to Dusseldorf, and it was to pursue his
studies there that in 1S49 Eastman
Johnson took ship for Europe.
The vessel on which Johnson sailed,
bound for Antwerp, was detained at
Flushing, and it is to be regretted that
no written record has been made of
the story which johnson delighted to
tell, and told so we'll, of how he and
his comrade, George Henry Hall. who
survives him - impatient young pill
| grims desiring to plunge at once into
| the promised land of art-left the YES
sci and, ignorant Of the language and
customs Of the country, trudged on foot
along the river Scheldt toward their
goal.
On their way each step revealed tc
their new world eyes some detail filed
with romance and promise, until after
nightfall they found themselves before
| the closed gates Of the city of Ant
werp, which was then walled town
obedient to the old custom Of curfew.
After an amusing parley in conflict
ing tongues the capital of Flemish art
received them kindly and hencefor-
| ward the art of Flanders and Holland
| made so direct and sympathetic an APP
| peal to Johnson that his sojourn in
| Dusseldorf was comparatively brief.
| and it's lessons had little or no visible
effect on his lifework.
| His earlier student stage passed, be
settled at The HagNe, where his sue
cess was so marked that when after an
| absence of long duration he determin-
| ed to return to the United States. his
patriotic purpose was carried out In
, the face of temptation to accept the
formal proffer of the position of court
| painter at The Hague.-Scribner's.

Modern Eevnf.

<AoE4 GHyRts
Thoughts In striking contrast with
those evoked BY the warning to the
English nation by speaker in parlia-
ment few weeks ago follow the read
Ing Of United States Special Agent C.
N. Peppers recent report on trade
conditions and development in the land
Of the pharaohs. Taking his text from
a local outbreak of violence against the
British ruler, a conservative member of
the cabinet appealed to the patriots not
to side with the malcontents In Egypt,
az that country was ready to plunge
into holy war and attempt to over
throw British domination. Mr.. Pepper
sees the commercial side only, but his
picture OF industrial progress in '.the
most promising territory bordering the
Mediterranean anywhere from Gibral-
tar to the Red sea" is far removed from
any suggestion Of widespread discon-
tent or of evils of British administra-
ton which would invite an uprising.
To quote:
The policy Of the khedive's govern
ment. which is only another name for
English authority. Is paternal. It recog-
mixes the lack Of initiative in the native
character and also the limitations on
private enterprise and the necessity OF
the state undertaking projects Of public
works on large scale. The railways
that form the real commercial arteries
for the whole country are owned and
operated by the government, which un-
dertakes the construction Of new lines
somewhat in advance Of the traffic that
Is in sight. The waters of the Nile and
its tributaries are controlled by the state,
which not only constructs the dams and
the irrigation works, but regulates the
use Of the waters In the most minute
particulars. Many land and irrigation
projects have been entered upon by pri-
vate capital, and they are playing an i'm
portant part In the development Of the
country, but they are incidental and an
cillary to the government works. The
ways. irrigation and other public works
is somewhat similar to that Of the United
States with reference to river and harboI
improvements.
Land values have doubled within ten
years, owing to increased productivity
due to irrigation and improved trans
portatiOn. Extensive tracts which q
few years ago were valued at $50 to
SIS an acre are now, owing to irriga-
ton, worth $75 to $3.50 an acre. It is
possible by irrigation to add $500, O0O,.
600 to the value of the irrigable land of
Egypt. Generally speaking, the coun-
try is undergoing remarkable process
Of development, and 1t will be years
before the end of the boom is reached.

IOWA LAD
CAN REClTE % PSALMS

LAKE CITY, a., Oct. 1S.-Nine-
year1Old Jerry Spaulding of this coun-
ty, is perhaps the most remarkable
child in Iowa, in that he possesses a
most retentive memory, one so trained
that he can commit readily long pas
sages of printed matter and recite it
off handed without a break or hesi-
tation,
He mas committed the first twenty
three Psalms, as well as the second
and third chapters Of Matthew in the
New Testament. Then he can recite
nearly the first four chapters of Gen.
esis.
What a mind he will have developed
by the time he is fully grown can
! only be conjectured. He is perhaps
the only 9-year-old child in Iowa who
can retain so definitely sucn long and
difficult passages as those he has COM
mitted.
He possesses the faculty naturally,
and the first his parents knew of it
| was one day when, after coming from
church, he was heard to say almost
the entire prayer delivered by the
preacher before the sermon.
