We don't know Mrs. Ritter, but we
do know that Seven Banks has cured
good many people who suffered with
disordered stomachs. We know, too,
that it is a purely vegetable remedy,
and people say it is easy and pleasant

years, and If it wasn't a sure cure for
stomach troubles. the company back OF

PLEASURES THAT ARE OURS.

You may lose your grip,
You may lose your gold.
You may lose the friends
That now you hold;
They may take your home
And your lands away,
But the skies are yours
They are yours for aye.
The song of the birds
Is yours to hear,
The twitter on tree tops
Far and near,
The green of the fields
Is yours to see,
No matter how poor
You have come to be.
The warmth of the sun
Comes down for you.
All nature is yours.
Whate'er foes do.
The shade of trees.
The running brooks
Are yours, my friend
Forego sad looks.
What have you lost?
But gold and fame;
A useless power?
You've an honored name:
An eye for beauty
A voice for song;
With these no grief
Should fret you long.

HEB NEIcHROR,s DOG.

| can sympathize with II. L. in
regard to our neighbors' dogs, as
was almost driven insane by this
nuisance, writes a woman to a Chi
cago paper. My neighbOr calls him
self an NJ. D. and informed me it
was my mean disposition and not the
dog, which was a st. Bernard pup
left out in the snow and rain and
chained to a wire. This poor beast
howled all night and not only kept
me awake, but, as | was widow, |
made my living keeping a few board
ers, who were people that had to be
employed nine hours a day and need
ed their rest at night, which was inn
possible with this poor dog shut up
in our court bowling necessarily. /
reported it to the police, but they in
formed me I must report it to the
police Judge in our ward, which |
did. and he very kindly notified this
viIIful disturber of the peace to build
the dog a house indoors, which he
did, although he defed me to take
steps TO compel him to do so. 1t
does seem that there are people who
have no regard for their neighbors. l
believe in making them see by law if
they refuse TO listen to reason. My
heart goes out to the confirmed in
valids and shut-ins and to the tenn
permanently nervous, as I should
have been one Of them had I let my
neighbours impositions and annoy
ances continue. If H. L. Will re-
port to the Humane society it may
do the dog some good, but the police
Judge was my friend.

OILED ROADS AND DAMAGES.
Attorney Generals Opinion Concern
ina the Liability of the State


In view of the fact that many cities
and towns in Massachusetts are using
oil, tar and other substances on their
roads, in an endeavor to lengthen
general, drafted at the request of the
Massachusetts, highway commission, is
of particular interest. The Commits
sion has been applying various forms
of oil and tar to some of the state
highways, and it has received some
claims for damages from certain peo-
pie who say that their clothing and
vehicles have suffered as the result
of the applications to the roads. One
party, a woman, put in a claim for
damages to her Panama hat, veil, coat
and other apparel resulting from be-
ing spattered with tar or oil from a
road recently finished or under con
struction Others have put in claims
for damages to their automobiles by
reason of having oil or tar spattered
on them from roads they were pass
ing over
To determine the liability of the
State in this matter and as a guide
to it's action in connection with the
claims, the commission requested an
opinion of Attorney General Dana Ma
lone, and the OpiEiOn was handed
down few days ago. In effect, the
attorney general holds that there is
no liability for damages on the part
of the State in such cases, there be-
ing no law specifically covering the
nratterl A person can recover for
being spattered with oil no more than
he can for being spattered with mud
or water. The statute covering dam
ages by reason of road imperfections
mentions defects" and want of re-
pair The attorney general holds
that the application of tar or oil does
not constitute a want of repair" A
defect is not defined in the statutes.
In these cases the safety of the
compliments was not involved but
the injury was analogous to that oc
casiOned by scattering of mud or wa
ter He quotes from cases to show
that this does not constitute a defect.
Continuing the opinion says: "In or
der to constitute a defect within the
meaning of the statute, it is neces-
sary that there should be something
in the condition of the highway, either
by reason of it's construction or want
of repair or in the nature of an OBJ
structiOn, which is dangerous to the
safety of the traveller and not merely
damaging to the appearance of his
attire or the cOnveyances in which
he travels" In relation to cases
where there were signs showing that
the road was under repair the attor
ney general holds that the only incOn-
veHienee Occasioned was the posi-
bility of seeking another route. He
holds that even if the application of
the oil was improper or negligent on
the part of the contractor or agent
of the commonwealth it would not
constitute a defect in the highway

HOW THE FRENCH FARMER

The French farmer, Pierre, whom /
visited that year, raised 1000 meas
ures of wheat; 100 were laid aside for
seed; $50 went for the family flour;
the remaining 1850 measures he sold
at 60 cents, for $3.50. His rye, barley
and fodder, after deducting seed and
supplies for the cattle, brought in $420.
He sells every year pair of oxen
the old ones; last year he got $3.50.
The sale of other stock brought him
$40. Another source of income is the
poultry yard. But this and the dairy
may be set aside as equivalent to the
many taxes that weigh upon the pea
sant-farmer. In round numbers, then
Pierre's income in an average year Is
$500. Over against this he places
his EXPENSES, thus:
