THE NARROW HIGHWAY.

am not in sympathy with the re-
commentator Of Governor Carroll
that the public highways be reduced to
thirty-thre feet in width said S. A.
Bates to Record scribe Saturday Il
have had several years experience in
superintending the road work in Cedar
Falls township and l have observed
that where there are hills to cut down
fills to make that the roads are none
too wide now Under the law we are
not allowed to go nearer fence in
grading than three feet. That takes
six feet off of the available space the
roads now occupy. The telephone
poles are so placed that they prevent
going even as close to the fences as
this in many cases. Where high, broad
grades are required thirty three feet
would be entirely too narrow. do not
believe the idea advanced by the gov
ernor would work at all. note that the

WOMEN, GIRLS AND MERCHANTS.

This is Christmas week. Trade was
was great. Country people came into
every good sized town, came to buy,
came with the money in hand and
bought. There was not much fuss
about it. 1t was a quert business
transaction; the farmers had the money
and the merchants had the goods.
They traded and traded fast. 1t was
a good day from end to end and from
side to side of Iowa. This week will
be a succession of good days. If the
total sales of Iowa merchants might be
tabulated and the aggregate published
Saturday evening we should wonder
where all the money came from.
Now this is busy time for all
merchants but it ought not to be too
busy to sort out certain stock that
has been carried over into the %. m {"
class until they have grown old and
not readily salable. There isn't mer-
chant of any kind in Iowa who has
not some such among his stock. 1t
ought not to be much trouble to find
them; it ought not to be too much
trouble to notify the charitable So
cieties that they have been set aside
for the poor who need them. So much
every merchant owes to the time and
the magnificent trade which has been
his share of the prosperity of the past
years and CO this present year.
There are warm cloaks which sell
slowly or do not sell at all in this day
when the best is not too good and the
latest cut none too fashionable for the
ordinary buyer. There are shoes
which missed buyers when they were
fin de steele and up to date, there are
little brooches and q variety of back
number little articles which the jew
eler could let loose of without hurt
ing himself much. Out of every store
might come something, not especially
salable but which has comfort or hap
piness In it for some one Hunt them
up.
In Marshalltown the Interdenomina
tional Charities will know what to dc
with them. Rosa Liebig will know
where they will do the most good te
somebody in need. Hunt them out and
give them away.

LAST WISH OF GREAT ARTIST
Dying Request of Great Painter Was
for Royal Recognition of
His Wife,

The only cloud upon the happiness
of Millais was the fact that Lady
Millais-Ruskin's divorced wife
could not be received at court. Queen
Victoria's prejudices were so strong
that she excluded from this honor
ever woman who had been divorced,
no matter for what cause; and Lady
Millais suffered with the rest. Her
husband was tormented by this ex-
clusion, which seemed to him unjust.
In his last days, as he lay dying,
the princess OF Wales-now Queen AL
exandra-drove to his house to ask
him about his health. He begged that
he might see her, and she was es-
corted to his studio, where he lay
upon a couch unable to get up. The
princess spoke to him with great cor
diality, and finally, when she rose ts
go, she asked:
is there anything whatever that ]
can do for you, Sir John?"
YES" returned the dying man:
there is one thing that your royal
highness can perhaps do for me. If
yon will promise it. shall die with
nothing to aflict my mind"
The princess, somewhat surprised
by his earnest tone, gave him the
promise that he asked.
There is only one thing that !
wish to ask" said he, land that ID
that you will try to have Lady Millaia
received at court"
The princess. greatly moved, gave
her promise; and it was not very
long before the widowed woman was
invited to a royal drawing room
Munsey's.

RELIANCE OF STATEMENT.

RELIANCE OF STATEMENT.
The charter Of corporation showed
that a large part Of its capital stock
had been actually paid in cash, when
in fact it had been paid by assignment
of patents applied for, but not thel
granted. Another person, relying OF
the Rotations in the charter, loaned
money to the corporation, for which la
ter he sued. In Mckee vs. Rudd, 121
Southwestern Reporter, 312, this ques.
ton was. sqparely presented: Can &
creditor rely upon statements made in
the article Of association filed by bus
mess corporation, and upon proof OF
the falsity thereof be permitted to re-
cover against the parties signing the
articles, in an action for fraud and de-
ceit? The Missouri supreme court de.
cided that the representations relied on,
whether false or true, were made to
the secretary Of state to procure GER
tificate Of corporation, and not to the
plaintiff to secure credit.

RIGHT OF PurAr1vp WIFE.

The Texas law provides that an ac-
ton for injuries to a husband be
brought by him. In Fort Worth & r.

had instituted the suit which had been
interrupted by his death, not caused
by the injuries in question. At the
time of his marriage with plaintiff, de-
ceased had another wife surviving. but
he had lived with plaintiff. who was
ignorant Of the spouse exant, for the
ten years preceding his death. The
statutory period of limitation having
elapsed since the accident, it was
claimed that plaintiff could not recover,
first, because she was not the lawful
widow, and, second, because the action
was barred. The Texas court of civil
appeals held that under the circum-
stances plaintiff was entitled to- the
rights of lawful wife in the COM
munity property, which included the
cause Of action, and that, the law hav-
ing precluded her maintenance Of the
action before her husbands death, the
statute had not run against it.
