There is a widespread fallacy that
no act OF a minor is binding in law.
Those who entertain that opinion may
be interested in a decision handed
down by the appellate division Of the
New York supreme court. The de-
cision had to do with a suit for dam
ages brought against a railway COM
pany by a mother who had intrusted
the checking of a trunk to her fifteen
year-old son. The lock on the trunk
being defective. the company when
It checked the trunk secured from the
boy a signed release from RESPONSE
bility. In handing down its decision,
which was favorable to the railway
company, the court said, 1.-The fact
that the son was a minor did not IN
capacitate him from acting as an
agent, the well known rule being that
contracts made by an infant as an
agent are binding upon the principal"

HIS THREE WISHES. n
4 Chicago clergyman's Meeting With
Marie Corelli.

4 Chicago clergyman's Meeting With
Marie corelli.
A well known Chicago divine, whose
enthusiasm sometimes runs away
with him, tells the following story Of
his meeting with the English novelist,
Marie Coreln, at a dinner IN Rome:
"As soon as she entered the draw
ing room and 1 saw those great, soul
full blue eyes I registered three
wishes-two little wishes and one big
wish. The first was, % Fate, or
Chance, or Luck, OF whoever it is, or
whatever it is that fixes things, let me
sit at table where / can see those
eyesP The second little wish began
the same, but ended, Let me sit at
table where l can hear her voiceg
And the third one, the big wish, ended,
Let me sit where 1 can both see those
eyes and hear her voicer
''Well, those wishes were scarcely
formed before my host crossed the
room and informed me in a casual
way that I was to take Miss Corelli
in to dinner. Oh. didn't swell-and
swell! That I, Of all the men pres
ent, and it was a distinguished COM
pany, too, should have been singled
out for this honor!
perhaps l didn't enjoy that dinner!
We talked abOut-but that comes later.
The next day hurried to pay morn
ing call to my host Of the evening
before, who was also my very good
friend, and as soon as he appeared.I
began:
"'Tell mellow It happened
"How what happenedY
"'You know-how l happened to
take Miss Corelli in to dinner
"'Oh, that? She asked me to let
you take her In
"O-o-h? If I had swelled with i'm

to have me take her in! What an inn

you about me- 1 demanded. Don't

"'Oh, no; l can't do that he an

"'But you must
"He demurred again and again, but
hung on and on until he saw there was
no getting rid of me, and then at last
he gave me the very words. They

ldaho Poisons Coyotes.

State Game Warden Stevens recent
~ received a large amount Of strych-
nine from Philadelphia which will be
used by the department for the poison
ing of coyotes and other predatory
animals.
The expenditure for this poison is
the first to take place under the new
law which placed the sum Of $1,000
in the hands Of the game warden for
use in the destruction Of wild animals.
So far as known, this is the first
time in the history of the United
States when a state started in along
this line to protect the game and stock
interests. While there have been COM
pany hunters here in Idaho, hired by
local stock associations, there has been
no official recognition Of the hunting
Of wild animals as a state function.
The outcome of the experiment is to
be watched with a good deal OF inter-
est, for the bounty system is admitted
ly a failure, in that it stops short Of
determination, both because OF de-
stroying a profitable industry-that Of
growing wolf scalps-and then the
hunters cannot make enough out Of
the business to keep at it when the
number of the n0xiOus animals begins
to decrease.-Idaho Statesman.

THE GREATEST EVER BUILT.
Ton BattIeships of the Dread
naught Class.

Washington.-Bids were opened at
the navy department at noon Thurs
day for the construction of two Amer
lean 'Dreadnaughts'' or what are Of
ficially known as battleships Nos. %
and 29, each to be of approximately
10000 tons displacement, the cost of
each not 10 exceed $6,000,000, exclu-
sive of armor and armament. The
total cost of each when completed is
estimated to be $10,000,000.
The Newport News Shipbuilding
company of Newport News, Va, with
one bid at S3,9S7 900 and the Fore
River Shipbuilding company of Quin-
cy, Mass, with bid of S4,377, 900, were
the successful bidders.
The arrangement of the main bat
terry guns is to be such as to per-
nit a broadside fire % per cent
greater than that of the broadside of
any battleship built, or, so far as is
known, under construction. The aver
age elevation of the axis of these
guns is expected to be greater than
that of any known battleship, thus af
fording a distinct advantage in long
range firing under all conditions of
weather.
The actual total weight of hull and
armor in the proposed designs for the
ships is approximately 5000 tons
greater than in the largest battleship
so far built. The design contemplates
an arrangement for the installation of
reciprocating or turbine machinery.

A Reasonable Exclamation.

Henry James is credited with the
remark that he never heard an Amer
lean woman say thank you" We con-
lecture, says Chicago Tribune, that on
one or more occasions Mr.. James has
risen In a crowded car and offered a
seat to some woman who did not say
thank you" for the reason that she
recognized him by his printed por-
traits and knew she would not have
time to say: Sensible in a high de-
gree, although it should be observed,
perhaps, that in the domain of the in
tellectual there should not be needed
the propulsive effect of motive as a
stimulus to the process of realization
in the abstract, apart from an implied
obligation willingly assumed. and not
wholly conventional, even though it
may be the result of unconscious Volt
ton, or, to express the thought in
terms less vague and elusive, and
frankly recognizing, in the back aground
OF consciousness, the simulacrum of
an anticipated quid pro quo-dismiss-
ing all this, l say, as shadowy and un-
real, and subjecting the ponderable
residuum to such analysis as we may,
with such crude materials as we have

IN GATES NAME.
Capitalist to Buy the Texas Interest
of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company.

Tulsa, /. t. 1t is repeatedly
rumored among prominent oil men
in this city that John W. Gates,
the controlling spirit in the Texas
company has entered into an agree
ment with H. Clay Pierce to pur-
chase the interest of the Waters
Pierce company in Texas. 1t is said
the deal was arranged in st. Louis on
the recent visit of Gates to the south
west. 1t is impossible to get a
confirmation of the report.
This much is known that the
Standard Oil company is making no
apparent effort toward building
pipe line from Tulsa to the gulf, as
the Texas company and Gulf Pipe
Line company. On the other hand
the Standard is favorably disposed to
the Texas company and it at present
installing several immense tank
farms in Indian territory, where mil
lions of dollars worth of oil is be-
ing stored and which must have a
gulf pipe line outlet to be market
able. The methods of the Texas
company and the Standard are the
same, which strengthens the belief
among the oil men that the two COM
papies are one and the same.

MAY PRESS DISARMAMENT.
Gen. Porter Reserves Right to Pre-
sent Question at Peace Confer
ence at The Hague.

The Hague. = The surprise of
the second session of the peace
conference Wednesday afternoon was
the formal reservation by General Hor-
ace Porter on behalf of the United
States of the right to present the
question of limitation of ornaments.
Together with this, he also reserved
the right to introduce the subject OF
the collection of contractual debts by
force. While this reservation was
made quite naturally, in accordance
with a notice rerved on Russia dur
ing the preliminary negotiations last
spring and in order that silence now
might not be construed as acquies-
cence in the restriction of the work of
the conference to the limits of Rus
sian programme it is believed to indi-
cate a firm resolve ON the part of the
Washington government after see
ing the trend of the situation here to
raise the question later if it becomes
apparent that the subject is going by
default.
