A New Senator'S Humor.

Senator Johnston of Alabama. owns a
beautiful home in Birmingham and
takes great delight in donning pair
of overalls and split hickory hat and
working in the garden. One day
shortly after the expiration of his last
term as governor, fashionably dressed
woman, who had resided in Birming-
ham only short time and had never
seen Johnston, called on his wife. No
one answered the bell, so she walked
out among the flower beds where the
ex-governor was hoeing some ger
aniums. He bowed and she asked him
how long he had worked for the John
stons.
"a good many years. madame he
replied.
do they pay you well?"
About all get out of it is my
clothes and keep"
why, come and work for me-" she
said. "In do that and pay you 80
much month besides.
II thank you, madame" he replied,
bowling very low, 'but l signed up

"Why no such contract is binding.
That is peonage"

Opinion of Two Senators.

A hustling reporter was at the capitol
this afternoon busily getting interviews
with senators and representatives on
the subject of President Roosevelt's
message of yesterday. He tackled SEN
ator William Alden Smith of Michigan.
Mr.. Smith wanted to know if he wrote
shorthand, so he could get the quota
ton exact. The reporter was obliged
to confess, reluctantly, that he was not
stenographer, and the senator sat
down to dictate slowly statement to
be written out in long hand.
ut is remarkable message" he said,
las all messages are which emanate
from the present o ,cupant of the White
House."
There the senator paused and ponder
ed. Lets see," he went on, what
have you got?"
The reporter repeated what he had
written.
"Strike out all after message" di-
rected the senator and the reporter
obeyed.
Just then Senator Dolliver of Iowa
came along.
Here Senator" said the reporter,
"Pd like to have your opinion of the
message. Senator Smith has given me
an interview"
HAS he?" asked Dolliver. What
did he say?"
Again the reporter read the portent-
Gus statement of the Michigan man.

RAILROAD PRESIDENT SPEAKS
Charles II. MeIlen's Vigorous Speech
Before the National Grange Calls
Out Resolution

Charles II. MeIIen's Vigorous Speech
Before the National Grange Calls
Out Resolution.
The president of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad was In.
vited to address the national grange
at Hartford at the public meeting held
on the evening of Nov 13. There were
numerous other speeches on that occa.
sion, but President Mellens was the
one that made his audience straighten
up in their seats and take notice. He
likened the attack on corporations to
a drunken mans debauch, condemned
the brass band methods employed, said
the investigation ordered of his road
was instigated by stock gamblers, as
serted the holdup in Massachusetts
was for the purpose of blackmail,
showed that 1t Is not a rich mans
panic, but the losses must be borne by
every man, woman and child, and
closed with a tribute to j. Pierpont
Morgan and others who had so much
to resent in the scant consideration
their efforts In behalf of the business
interests of the country had received
'at the hands Of those in authority"
and who had put that all aside and
had done so much in SO short time
and so effectively.
1t was scathing speech, replete
with irony and invective, and it wasn't
quite relished by the leaders Of the
grange. Had they known what Pres
ident Mellen was going to say on the
occasion probably che would not have
appeared on the programme. What
the grange thought about 1t may be
gathered from the following resolution
which was adopted at the first session
held after the speech was delivered:
Resolved, That the members of the ma
tional grange do not wish the impression
to go abroad that the statements made
by all the speakers at the public recep-
ton last evening are n portion of the
grange creed. A railroad president was
invited to speak, and the members cour-
teousy listened to his prepared address
with many innuendos susceptible of varied
construction, some OF which would place
our Order before the world in false
position. The national grange, at it's first
session after said public meeting, desires
to publicly declare 1t Is not responsible
for the statements or expressions In said
address above referred to.
Resolved. That the national grange firm
ly and unfiinchingly stands on its declara-
ton of principles in opposition to all
trusts or combinations that use unfair
methods to exploit the people.
Resolved. That we wage no warfare
against railways or any other. corpora
tons that conduct lheir business along
lines of fairness, and we further declare
it to be the fixed and determined prin-
....Iz .I.Ok ,n
poratons, rich or poor, great or small
shall obey the laws of our country.

Another Governor Granger.

Governor r. S. Woodruff took the
highest degree in the Order of Patrons
Of Husbandry at Hartford on Nov. 10.
In a speech at public session he said ::
In thirty-five years since the power of
the grange began to express itself in
agriculture we have made more rapid
strides than In 100 years before II came
into existence. The grange is getting men
together frequently and probably. 1t Is
making farming business and this busi-
ness education must go on and become
widespread until agriculture reaches the
very highest standards of modern bust
ness control, until the farmer is as much
a man of business as the manufacturer
the banker and the tradesman. until the
Influence Of the grange is realized by the
government of every state in the Union
no that legislation will lend every assist
anoe to facilitate the fulfllmGnt of agri-
cultural science.

HON. N. J. BACHELOR.
Reelected to the Highest Office In the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry.

Reelected to the Highest Office In the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry.
Hon. Nahum j. Bachelor, reelected
master of the national grange, has
been prominent figure in New Hamp-
shire politics and agriculture for sew
eral years. The old Bachelor home
stead at East Andover, n. H., was
cleared from the wilderness by his
great-grandfather, and the original
house was built in 1852. The farm has
been in possession of the descendants
of Captain Josiah Bachelor ever since,
though by various purchases of adj
joining land it is now an estate of 800
acres.
Worthy Master Bachelors grange
career began when he joined Highland
Lake grange at East Andover, n. H.,
in 1877, and from 1870 to 1883 he was
master of that grange; from 1888 to
1891 he was secretary of the state
grange; from 1891 to 1903 he was mas
ter of the state grange; from 1899 to
1905 he was lecturer of the national
grange, and two years ago at the At
Sily oCSSiOh hC was SiCNtSu mas
ter Of the national grange. He was
secretary of the New Hampshire
grange state fair for ten years and of
the Concord state fair for three years
and secretary of the New Hampshire
state board of agriculture from 1887 to
the present time. He was governor OF
the state in 10000. He is a thirty
second degree Mason.
AS executive officer of the New
Hampshire Old Home Week associa-
ton he has done more than any other
one person perhaps to make the Gran
tie State the summer home for thou
sands and has made the abandoned
farms to be once more profitable acres.
Since his election to the chief office In
the Order Of Patrons Of Husbandry he
has become familiar figure In every
grange state in the Union and has pro-
noted the interests of the grange by
public addresses, by the written page
and by his personal influence, particu-
larry In Washington, so that today the
Order Is stronger than ever in member
ship and has a potential influence at
state and national capitals exceeding
that which 1t has ever before attained.
Worthy Master Bachelor won q re-
election on his merits.

Entitled to Recover i'm Equity.
From the foregoing 1 reach the
conclusion that the plaintiff is en-
titled to recover upon the equitable
count for the money had and receiv-
ed. What is the measure of his re-
covery?
1t is the claim of the defendant
that in any event plaintiff can re-
cover but the sum of five thousand
dollars; that the first loan of that
amount is barred by the statute of
limitations, and when the notes are
held void the payments of interest
cannot be held to keep the debt alive.
The county, by its board of super
visors, treated the notes as valid
subsisting claims against the county,
paid interest thereon, reported to the
people of Shiawassee county through
the published reports of the board
the entire situation from time to
time, and did all that any debtor
could do to assure his creditor that
his investment was alive and safe.
Can the county now say, Your day
is past; We have lulled you into Sc
curity and your money is now ours?"
If such be the rule am very glad in
deed that the tender-hearted fathers
of the law decided to give a corpor-
alton no soul that might suffer in
the days that are to come.
In my judgment the case of b.
CART VS.. Lamotte Township, 70 Mich.
294, does not rule the proposition un-
der all the facts in this case.
l believe the defendant is estopped
from interposing the defense of the
statute limitations, and that the
claim was renewed from time to time
as interest was paid or renewal notes
given, and the statute did not begin
to run finally until December 18th,
1905.o
Plaintiff is entitled to recover the
sum of ten thousand dollars with in
terest at per cent from December
Is, 1905, and judgment will be en-
tered as of February 14th, 1908, for
the sum eleven thousand eighty-one
dollars and ninety-five cents, with
costs to be taxed, the same to be col
lected as in case Of judgments against
counties.
