A Lengthy Opinion.


 The Supreme Court. has just handed history of the court. perhaps, being declared that the contract entered into by employees of the Atlantic Coast Line In accepting benefits from the relief and hospital department maintained by the road through the contribution of the employees, does not constitute a bar to action against the road for per- sonal injuries The opinion is written by Chief Justice Shackelford and is concurred in by Justices Hooker. Whit field and Cockrell; Judges Parkhill and Taylor filed dissenting opinions. The point of dissension was that the em- pIoye in accepting benefits from the hospital relief department made a vol untary election between relief in that manner and legal action.
 The dissenting judges held that the contract itself was not bar to legal action, but that the subsequent accept ance of money, without regard to the amount. did bar the privilege of seek Ing damages. The case came up from Jefferson County, Robert Beazley, a lagman, having been awarded S2OO0O in a suit against the Coast Line for injuries that made him a chronic crip- pie. He was taken to the company's hospital and treated when injured, the record showing that he received up- wards of $100 in benefit from the hos pital and relief department This was pleaded by the company as a bar tC further action on the part of the plain. tiff.

ABOUT JOHN MARSHALL.

One day Judge Marshall engrossed
in his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in stick-gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
suIky ran over sapling and was tilted
so as TO arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
the right nor left, an old negro, who
had come along, solved the difficulty.
My old master he asked, what
fer YOU don't back your hOrse?"
That's true" said the Judge and he
acted as advised. Thanking his deliv-
erer heartily ne felt in his pocket for
some change. but he did not have any.
Never mind. old man." ne said II
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for YOU with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed
with the stranger, but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper if an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
"Oh. yes said the landlord, "he left
a silver dollar for you. What do you
think of that old gentleman"
The negro gazed at the dollar and
said: HE was a gem'man, for sho'
but"-pating his forehead-"he didn't
have much in here.-The Worlds

THE VILLAGE MERCHANT.


Upon the quiet village street
With slanting stoop ard open door,
Whose panes are meager for display,
Through which scarce shines the light
of day,
Behold the simple country store.
About the door are grouped the things
Most useful for the farmers needs:
Some rakes and hoes, an ak ana spade.
Some kegs of nails on when are laid
A box or two Of garden seeus'
Long shelves of canned stuffs greet the
eye,
Each counter too, is burdehed well;
While fruits and spices, col1ees' teas
And scores of other things like these
Send forth a most inviting smell.
The merchant. now a man of years.
Behind the counter spends each day,
Or labors DER some musty DOCK
With slow and scrutinizing look
To keep a just account AWAY.
Began he here when but boy.
He looks with pride around his store:
No great commercial venture his,
a simple, honest trade 1t is
He seeks enough and nothlng more
He ne'er has been to foreign lands.
Nor yearned his neighbor to excel
II honest toll he's passed his days
In giving, yet not asking praise.
And served his township long and
Well.
On Sunday he is found at church.
The same receives his loving care,
A class of trusting boys is his,
And in the mid-week services
His voice is heard in sorg and prayer.
Now VINO successful more than he,
And who more worthy of Nance
No statesman. prophet, lard or sage
In this or any other age
Shall more deserve enduring fame.
Upon the quiet village street
This man has built his monument,
No tower of stone, simple store.
An honest life and nothing more
Who would not be like him, content?

The Home Woman.

The home woman is the indispensa-
bic woman. II has been wisely re-
marked that we could do without the
women who have made careers for
themselves in all other directions;
but without the nome woman we
should have to shut up shop at once.
The hOme-maker is the absolutely
necessary element, the woman the
world cannot do without. 1t is d
pity, therefore, that the home woman
allows herself so often TO fail of her
fun development and reward. She is
apt to be so unselfish and so consci-
entious that she lets the four walls
of home narrow about her. The
household woman. as she has been
called, does not get enough exercise
every day. nor does she breathe
enough Of the outside air of thoughts
and action to refresh her spirit. The
simplest remedy is that of at least
pne outside interest The woman
who takes up one hobby, one charity,
one line OF work beyond the household
cares. and follows it steadily, will find
that il brings freshness and power
with it. 1t becomes both outlook and
of old china. reading up a special sub
sect making a garden, any one of these
# pursued thoroughly, viii bring her in
touch with others, and open vistas of
Interest unendingly. And the woman
with a hobby grows Old so slowly that
she often never grows old at all but
keeps to the last that freshness Of in
terest which is the mark of youth.

FRANCE A DISGRACE
AMONG CIVILIZED NATIONS

/ The respectable press of France. as
well as the educated and self-respect-
| ing representatives of the people. has
denounced the Clemencesu govern
ment for their discreditable and ruff
fianly conduct in regard TO the letters
and other documents Illegally seized
at the Papal nunciature. That stauncl
republican and eminet stateman, NJ.
Ribot. strongly denounced this base
procedure. The Journal des Debats
accuses Clenenceau of shameless in
consistency in ordering the seizure to
be made. reminding him that he was
himself the author of a propesd law
in 1904 for the safeguarding of indi-
vidual liberty, and Furnishing by q fine
of from 30 to 5000 francs. and impris-
onment of three months to three years,

taken from a person accuesd. without
such use being authorized by him.
we do not know" saws the Journal
des Debats ANY law that gives the
government power to seize up on pap
ers that are the property of a stranger.
and to publish them from what it
chooses to make known. These are
the proceedings of a non-civilized state.
Our present rulers maintain that legal
forms are obligatory for the mainte-
nance of politics-and yet not al
ways, because ministers, projects, and
commissioners of police. are dispensed
from obedience to law" There meth
DDS Of the Clemenceau government
are. as the same leading Partisan daily
asserts, in derision of true judicial
forms and in violation of all diplo-
matte properties: and the French are
now using the most reprehensible prac-
tees of absolute manarchies 1.-THE
affair of the Montagnini papers casts
on our political and judicial customs
discredit of which the Republic already
is feeling the weight. and for which
1t must finally suffer the consequences.
1t is also evident that European opin-
ion has gagged without mercy our atti-
tude towards that Papal government
which is regularly recognized by all
states in the world, and with which
they all have diplomatic relations,
which relations our own rupture with
1t is powerless to modify. AS NJ Ribot
sorrowfully remarked there are dip
lomatic properties which govern
ment does honor to itself in respecting.
The publication of the Montgnini pap
ers will injure that reputation for
justice, purightness and good educa-
