Judgment for Damages Affirmed by
the Supreme Court

The supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment of the circuit court awardi ng
VIM Gillespie, of Durand, So, 900 dam
ages against the Grand Trunk Railway.
Gillespie was in the employ of the road
as brakeman and about two years ago
while switching at Durand fell over
apile of cinders which had been left on
the track and as result lost an arm
and had one foot badly injured The
jnry in the circuit court decided with
out much difficulty that Gillespie was
in no wise responsible for the accident
which befell him and gave him the
judgment stated. The railroad appeal
ed to the supreme court, where the case
was vigorously argued by Harrison
Geer for the railroad, and Odell Chap
man, of the firm of Watson q Chap
man, for Gillespie. After the hearing
Mr.. Chapman was satisfied that the
court would sustain his view of the
case, although the railroad attorney
asked leave to file supplemental brief
Naturally, Mr. Chapman is pleased
with the outcome.

National Committee Call Makes
Necessarv Another Convention.

The call for the republican national
convention differs from calls previously
issued in that it provides that no dele
gates shall be elected until thirty days
from the date of the same. This clause
will necessitate another convention in
this congressional district, also in one
of the West Virginia districts which
elected its delegates some weeks before
the. convention was held here, and in
Alaska. The officers of the national COM
mittee in explaining the change state
that it was made necessary by the fact
that the number of delegates allotted the
territories was reduced from six to two
and as Alaska had already elected six
delegates the one thing to do was to
hold another convention and the rule
was made applicable to all districts. In
this connection it might be proper to
call attention to the fact that before the
convention which was held in this city
was called, the question was asked the
national committee if it was proper to
hold the convention at that time and
the reply was to the effect that dele
gates had frequently been elected in
different states before the call of the
national committee has been made and
that there never had been any objection
to seating the delegates elected.

teIi Something appears to depend on
the station in life which the babe is
assigned to fill. That the young king
Of Spain is happy papa since the
heir to the throne arrived cannot be
doubted. Yet there are ample indica>
tons that the proud father is deeply
impressed with the responsibility OF
bringing up the infant in proper fash
ion. The story goes that among the
many articles provided 10 amuse and

ment of English juvenile literature,
provided out of thoughtful cOmpli-
ment to the nationality Of the charm
ing mother But here is where Alfonso
draws the line. He is said to have
oVerhauled the books. and finding that
they were filled with English nursery
rhymes and with pictures by English
artists he sternly remarked: These
are curious pictures for the future
king of Spain to be reared on. l
would rather the pictures were Of
Spanish soldiers" But a compromise
has been effected by having the vari-
GUS blank pages in the books decorat-
ed with drawings of Spanish soldiers
and historical incidents by Spanish
artists. If the king wants to make

ones anew in the cleansing waters.
From the sinners themselves came
cries of self-accusation; from the
crowd on the banks came the strains
of hymns to fortify them for the icy
ordeal and the public confession.
There in the freezing current stood
Joel Rae until long after the Deem
Der sun had gone below the Oquirrh
y hills, performing his office of baptism
and reViving hope in those his words
had smitten with fear.
His strength already depleted by
the long march with the hand-cart
party and by the exhausting strain
of the day, he was early chilled by
the water into which he plunged the
repentant sinners. For the last hour
that he stood in the stream, his whole
body was numb; he had ceased to
feel life in his feet, and his arms
worked with a mechanical stiffness
like the arms of some automaton over
which his mind had control. a.a
Not until night fell did the hymns
cease and the crowd dwindle away.
The air grew colder, and he began to
feel pain again, the water cutting
against his legs like blade. Little
groups were now hurrying OF in the
| darkness, and the last Saint he had
baptized was standing for the mo
ment, chill and dripping, on the bank
Seeing there was no one else tc
come, he staggered out of the stream
where he had stood for three hours
finding his feeS curiously clumsy and
uncomfortable. Below him in the
stream another Elder still waited t.

who had been above him in the river
were gone, and his own work wa;
done "'s
He had been hearing footsteps be

the fire and EMBODIED him and made
him drunk.
Again he would have fallen, but
she steadied him down on to a wide
couch covered with buffalo robes, be-
side the big fireplace; and here he
fell at once into a stupor. She drew
out the couch so that it caught more
Of the heat, pulled off the water
soaked boots and the stiffened coat,
wrapped him in blanket which she
warmed before the fire, and covered
him still again with one of the buf-
falo robes.
She went then to bring food and to
make hot drink, which she strength
ened with brandy poured from little
silver flask. .t a...
Presently she aroused him to drink
the hot liquor, and then, after another
blank OF stupor, she aroused him
again to eat. He could take but little
of the food, but called for more OF

along his frozen nerves until they
