In England, the land where John Stu

generations ago with an eloquence and
logic still powerful, woman cannot even

the women have recently walked into
the new national assembly on creden-

the law now in force Finnish women
vote and are eligible to seats in the

Finland is a country of progressive
people. Formerly ruled by Sweden,
where the women are highly enlight-

maintained for years half a score of

At one time, when De Quincy was
living at Lasswade in simple and
friendly relations with the people, who
respected him not as writer, but as
a good neighbor, he formed a very de-
lightful friendship with little child,
boy of four years. This lad, q
nephew of one of the housemaids, was
the constant companion of the great
man. and would forsake any amuse-
ment for the pleasure of walking
round a dull little garden with him.
One day somebody heard this CONVEX
sation between the two comrades:
What dye call thon treeT' asked
the child.
De Quincy considered and then
said, with careful deiiberation, Il am
not sure, my dear. but l think it may

The child interrupted Kim with some
scorn: "a laurustinus! Lad, dye no

Here is play in baseball that hap
pened long ago Perhaps it never viii
happen again. Did any one ever hear
OF base runner scoring from first
base on a line drive that was caught
by third baseman and when the ball
never left the third baseman's handf
The play happened in this way: Andy
Moynihan was playing third base for
the Pastimes of Chicago IN 1868 when
a tournament was held. The Occiden-
tails of Peoria were the opposing team
In the first inning with a runner on
first, the batter drove a liner straight
over third. Moynihan showed up bis
hand, the ball struck it and stuck
fast in the hand. The crowd cheered.
An instant later they saw something
was wrong. Moynihan, writing with
pain, was running around third base.
The base runner at first saw something
was the matter and ran down to sec
ond. Then he ran to third and finally
trotted home unmolested.
The trouble was that the ball, strik-
ing Moynihan's hand, paralyZed the
nerves. The ball was stuck tight in
his hand. 1t was five minutes before
his fellow players could pry his fin
gers open and get the ball out.-Chica-

Speculation In Damages. >.

There are hundreds, probably thou
who make a regular business of figur-
ing in more or less fake accidents so
that they may be able to bring damage
suits against municipalities, public
service corporations and individuals.
In addition to this, there are thousands
of lawyers, ambulance chasers and
shady physicians always ready to take
part in anything Of this sort. So enor-
nous has the total of these actions be
come and so great has become the per
centage of fraud that an organization
has been formed, known as the ALI
ance Against Accident Fraud to pro
tect its members This organization
has started a regular rogues gallery
system of preserving and disseminat
ing information concerning fake acci
dent claimants and their attorneys an(
physicians. Ia the alliance are the Law
departments OF municipalities. of pub.
lie service corporations, accident and
insurance companies The charge Is
made that many of these suits are
without merit and that corporations
find it often easier and cheaper to sub
nit to petty blackmail by compromis-
ing a suit than TO fight it out in court.
The lawyer who lives by prosecut-
ing or compromising damage suits
which he has undertaken for a client
on shares is coming in for more and
more reprobation as this phase of law
practice is developed, extended and
systematized. There Is nothing essen.
tally wrong in the principle of the
contingent fee or in the payment by
counsel of court and other costs for a
sutton having a meritorious cause and
no funds for its prosecution. This prin-
ciple may be both conducive to and
subversive Of justice, according to the
manner Of Its employment
1t is in the abuse of the damage
sharing plan between counsel and liti
giants that the trouble lies, and il
would seem that SO much trouble is re
suIting from the abuse that courts and
lawmakers are taking cognizance OF

The craze among society women for
queer pets is an old story. 1t usually
ends through being carried too far.
There is the case of Andromeda, for IN
stance, and there is that other affair of
the decadent Roman emperor's daugh-
ter, who had a pet gorilla, procured for
her at great cost by an Arabian trader
who supplied strange beasts for the
amphitheater One day the Praetorian
guard arose and murdered the caesar.
The gorilla, who happened to be pres
ent, strangled the ringleader, who was
to have assumed the imperial purple
himself, with its bare hands This SO
delighted the Praetorians that they
unanimously elected the gorilla, whom
they took for q barbarian from North
Britain, to the vacant throne. On the
mistake being explained by a geologic
ally minded patrician, the divus caesar
had to be killed and another one cho-

4 Lincoln Dav Wanted.

Since the birthday of Abraham Lin
coin anticipates the birthday of George
Washington by a few days and is not
a national holiday, it is suggested that
some other day be chosen to honor the
emancipation. That could doubtless be
done and receive the support of as
many states as now recognize Lincoln's
birthday-namely, twelve April was
an important month in the life of Lin
coin. He issued his first war procla-
nation in April, saw the finish of the
war in that month, and the fact that
he fell before an assassin's blow in
that month need not be emphasized so
as to lend q grewsome aspect to the
anniversary observances in his honor.
April has no holiday. Sept 90 was
the date of the great proclamation,
but neither the time nor the occasion
seems fitting for holiday to commem-
crate Lincoln's life work. A Lincoln
day which was not his birthday might
find favor in all the states and become
an occasion of national observance.

ssNaming,, a Member.

It is an ancient belief that a mans
name has some mysterious sympathy
with his nature, whence arise such
stories as that OF Rumpelstiltskin,
whose power over a human being van
ishes the moment that his name is pro-
nounced aloud. 1t has been suggested
with some show of reason that the
modern practice Of naming" a refrac-
tory member of the British house Of
commons is merely a survival Of this
belief which the Norsemen brought
into England.
