RIGHTS UNDER A PATENT.
Each Of the Three Constitutes a Sepa.
rate Monopoly.


rate Monopoly.
To make, to use and to sell are the
only ways in which an invention Is
capable of commercial enjoyment
The patentee can, If he wishes, siI
down and not only not use the in
vention himself. but prevent Others
from making or using or selling the
patented thing. If any one else
makes, uses or sells the subject of the
patent the courts will grant the pat
entee an injunction against further
infringement and a recovery Of the
profits made.
Each of these three rights-tc
make, to use and to SELLS a sepa'
rate monopoly and may, by proper in
strun ents, be granted or sold sepa-
rately. For instance. a patentee Of
machine could grant to a manufac'
turer the exclusive right to make the
machines for him (of course under
proper restrictions as to price, etc.
and the manufacturer would be ar
infringer if he used the machines OF
sold them to others. The patentee
could then grant to a jobber the ex'
elusive right to sell the machines (re'
serving proper compensation to him
self, such as percentage of the prof
its). and the jobber would be an in.
fringer if he either made or used the
machine. The exclusive right to use
the machines could then be granted
to a given consumer. who In turr
would have no right to make or sci
the machines.
The exclusive right to use an inven'
ton for each of several given pur'
poses can be separately sold. For in
stance. a patentee Of a process fol
making watch dials not only sold the
exclusive right to make watch dials by
that process, but he also sold to
separate company the exclusive righ
to use the process in making enam
eled signs under the same patent. The
watch manufacturer would have
been an infringer If he had made
signs and vice versa, the sign manu-
facturer would have been restrained
from making watch dials.
A process of drying gunpowder wa
found to be applicable to drying
breakfast foods, and the owners afte,
getting all they had ever looked FOL
from the patent from the gunpowde1
rights reaped a second and unexpected
harvest from the sale of the rights fol
breakfast foods. The rights under :
patent for a machine can be divided
in the same way.-Edwin ]. Prindl'

VALUE OF EDUcATIoN.-General j.
Franklin Bell, while at the head OF
the artillery and infantry school at
Fort Leavenworth, was invited to a
dinner given in the cause Of education
The educators were called upon and
glorified education. Then Gen. Bell
said:
"I have been interested in what the
speakers preceding me have said
about education, and still I think that
out our way, in the west, not so much
store is set by 1t as here In the east.
I am reminded of the story of the two
boys In Omaha who, l regret to say,
were playing poker in a doorway, US
ing kernels of corn for chips. During
the game one pushed in a bunch OF
kernels and said, I'll bet you hun
dred.' I'll raise it a hundred said
the other. I'll raise that thousand
I'll see the thousand and raise 1t
million I'll raise that million a bill
lion.' I'll see the billion and raise you
a trillion.' The other boy was stump
ed. He thought long time, but he
couldn't remember what came next, so
he said bitterly, Take 1t, you educated
son of a gun!'"

LAWS IN CHINA.
They Take No Account of the lnten
tions Of the Accused.

tions Of the Accused.
The incompatibility of laws based
on diverse civilizations is nowhere
more marked than in China, says Ho-
sea B. Morse in the Atlantic. There
no bankruptcy law is possible. If n
debtors own estate will not suffice to
pay his debts the deficiency must be
made good by his father, brothers or
uncles: If a debtor absconds his i'm
mediate family are promptly imprison-
ed: If the debtor returns he is put In
prison and kept there indefinitely, so
long as he can find money for his daily
food until released by payment in full
or by death This is the law.
When in 1895 Admiral Ting found
himself forced to surrender Weihaiwei
BY this courageous step, technically
dying before surrender. he saved his
immediate family-father, mother, sons
and daughters-from decapitation and
their property from cOnfiscatiOn, the
penalty when a commander surrenders
an imperial fortress. This is the law.
When in the old days an English
gunner caused the death of Chinese
| by firing salute from cannon from
| which by oversight the ball had not
been removed. he was seized. tried
and executed. And in 1899. when in
the course of disturbance with Eng
lish and American sailors at Canton a
Chinese was killed, the authorities de-
manded that if the guilty person could
not be detected and executed the whole
| party should be handed over for exc
cutiOn. This is the law.
Intention is never taken into ac-
count A dollar for a dollar, an eye
for an eye, a life for life, and all for
the emperor and his representative
| this Is the law of China.

neighborhood several days ago. The
tree in question was cut by Mr..
Shives and Mr.. T. L. Ware. An IS

to Goodson's sawmill where 1T was
sawed into lumber. Mr.. Ware cut
the tree into three sections and haul

The S5 feet which was sawed into
lumber made 4,3S9 square feet, while
the top was cut into wood, netting 81
cords. This is claimed to be the larg-
est tree ever cut in CASTOR county.

A RAILROAD WONDER.
New Air Line Which Runs Under
ground For Many Miles.

ground For Many Miles.
The latest and biggest project of
David M. Moffat the Colorado railroad
man, is an air line from Denver to
Salt Lake City over the continental di-
vide, midway between the Union Pa
cific on the north and the Rio Grande
on the south. says the New York Sun.
1t took large sum of money to start
/ the scheme moving. as the preliminary
work for the surveys cost $250.000.
The Burlington had tried to get over
the mountains and had become fright
ened when $1,000.000 had been put into
the work and brought no visible re-
suits. and Mr.. Moffat bought the rights
the Burlington had acquired.
The first fifty miles Of road out OF
Denver cost 100000 a mile. and the
thirty-five miles up the foothills to the
Main Range tunnel cost 100000 a
mile. all this for grading before n
single tie was laid.
In eleven miles there are twenty-nine
tunnels, through solid granite. and the
road has every conceivable sort of
curve, from q horseshoe to a tennis
racket. Bridges and fills cost $1,000
900. Steam Shovel cut. through rock,
is 2.2OO feet long and averages forty
feet deep.
The Main Range tunnel. nearly three
miles in length. is under James peak,
at an elevation of $500 feet, and cost
$3.50, 900. William Crook. whose firm
had the contract for building one of
the worst sections of the road. took
down 10000 cubic yards of granite
with one blast. using 1000 kegs of
black powder and fifteen boxes of dy-
Mantle to do it.
The worst part of the road. the way
through the mountains has been con-
quered, and what remains to be done
is comparatively easy. Throughout the
road is of standard gauge. $500 heavy
Texas pine ties to the mile instead of
the usual $500 and eighty pound rails
and all equipment fitted for heavy
through traffic.

NOtOne Sane Man

Out of 1000 actually believes
that II is possible to buy $1.00 in
value for less than $1.00 when he
starts out to buy anything Of recog-
nized value except life insurance.
Most sane men know that unless they
keep their eyes open they are liable
to pay $l.25 for $1.00 In value. There
Is no mystery about the apparent
lack of business sense in connection
with the purchase Of life insurance,
and 1t is accounted for on the ground
that SO out Of every 100 buy life in
surance from an agent instead OF from
a company, taking the agents word
for the claim that the company he
may be representing is the one that
holds the record for everything calcu-
lated to be to the interest of the in
sured, when 1t may be a fact that that
same agent has represented as many
as a half dozen different companies in
as many years, and made the same
claim for each in turn. and has chang
ed companies from time to time be-
cause he knows, from experience that
people buy insurance from the agent
instead of because OF any actually
known merit OF his company. and be-
lieves that IL Is to his present financial
interest to work for the company that
pays him the largest commission.
We have been trying to represent the
Mutual Benefit for nearly eight years,
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t pays
its agents a smaller commission than
any company doing business in the
State. We depend entirely on the
companys policy contracts and lts
sixty-two years record for honorable
dealing with all members, for busi-
ness. We stick TO 1t because we
know we can prove 1t Is the best poll
cy-holders company in business. and
that every man we insure Is certain
to be satisfied, and will be certain to
help spread the good work.

SHERIDAN's TRAP.-Any interruption
while he was making a speech always
caused Richard Brinsley Sheridan
considerable annoyance. On one oc-
casion the dramatist showed his dis
pleasure of a fellow member Of the
house of commons who kept crying
out Hear, hear" every few minutes
During a certain debate Sheridan
took occasion to describe a polit-
ical contemporary who wished to
play rogue, but had only sense
enough to. act fool. Where" ex-
claimed he, with great emphasis
where shall we find a more foolish
knave or a move knavish fool than
he?"
Hear, hear" was shouted by the
troublesome member.
Sheridan turned and, thanking the
honorable member for the prompt
information, sat down amid gener-
al roar of laughter.

young ideas shot up according to the
teachings Of Mrs. Hannah More and
Sanford and Merton has recently been

who was laboriously spelling her way
through a reading lesson.
Always speak the truth" she said,

BE gentle and quiet. Newer slam
the doors and shout and scream about
the house.
AT the table eat slowly; not in a

How To USE BRAINs.-A head man
in a mandatory was watching q
drayman tugging at a heavy case one
day. The drayman's face was red
and the muscles of his neck were
bulging. The overseer, says writer
in the Baltimore Sun. thought it was
the right moment to offer practical
assistance.
Wait minute there" he said
Let me show you how easy it is wher
you use a little brain with your mus.
cle." And he grabbed hook, stuck
it into the case, gave a yank and went
sprawling into the gutter under the
dray. He got up, looked at the hook
and said, "Confound it. the handle
comes off,"
Yes, sir" said the drayman respect
fully. My brain told me that, anG
/ didn't use it."

Hapgood. says the Buffalo Engineer,

1T is not enough that our papers
should tell the TRUTH" he said. Truth
telling in itself is not particularly wise
nor praiseworthy.

young lady one spring morning very
early. He had his automobile along
He wanted to give the young lady a
morning spin through the country
A little girl. the young lady's niece
