TO Legalize Tipping.

While pralseworthy attempts are be-
ing made N London to minimize the
tipping system movement has been
started in Berlin. to make. the custom
compulsory. The cafe walters in the
kaiser's capital have formed them
selves into a union with the object of
legalizing tipping. They have drawn
up a scale Of tips and passed resolu-
lions to enforce it. If the order a
customer gives in a restaurant amounts
to three shillings he will be expected
TO tin the waiter to the tune of II
per cent. If the order is over three
shilIings the "kellner'' will be content
with a tip of 10 per cent. In the
larger restaurants the waiter VIII pc
satisfied with a modest per cent tip
if the bill amounts to f5. The restaur-
ant keepers protest against this tariff
of tips, which they consider Will inter
fere with their business, but the wait
ers refuse to give way.-Throne-

READY TO ARBITRATE.
Switchmen Are Willing to Bring Strike
to q Close

St. Paul, Dec. 1.-THE striking switch
men are willing to arbitrate and bringing
the strike to speedy and peaceful end.
This declaration was made today by D.
A Hansberger, third vice president of
the Switchmen's union, who is tenn
porarily in charge of the strike headquar-
tiers.

Omaha, the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific roads who went out with
the strikers met last night and decided to

first important break since the strike be-
gan, so far as the Twin City situation is
concerned.
At strike headquarters Vice President

came from one of the brotherhood men,.

talked marriage to her many times
but when he found that Mary Rey-
nolds would not consent to the ear
ing and rearing of children he refused
to make an engagement for marriage.
He quit calling at the home and later
the woman brought a suit for breach
of promise.
The court held that no particular
form of words was necessary fer an
engagement and that simply discuss
ing the marriage relation was not to
be considered an express contract Of
marriage and when, after Curry had
found that Mary Reynolds objected to
children there was nothing to prevent
him stopping his attentions then and
there and his prospective fancee could
not secure any balm from the courts
for her wounded affections and bleed
ing heart.
Pedestrians may cross street at
any point they desire, whether at
corner crossing or in the middle of
the block and the drivers of teams
must look out for them. In the suit
of Alfred Seifert against H. F. Schai-
BILE, appealed from Wyandotte county,
the supreme court allowed damages to
Seifert because the driver of one of
Schaible's wagons was not exercising
proper care. Alfred Seifert was a
boy, II years of age. He started to
cross Kansas City, Kan, street in
the middle of a block. One of Schai-
ble's teams was on the street and the
boy had passed beyond the line that
the team was going when suddenly
the team was turned and ran into the
boy. The lad was dragged several
feet, bruised and his leg broken. In
the trial Schaible's attorneys asserted
that the driver of the team did not
have to look out for pedestrians who
were crossing the street at other than
regular crossings. The lower court
held against this and the supreme
court held that the driver must use
care and watch for pedestrians at all
times and especially for children.
The Kansas City & Olathe electric
railway line cannot collect dar/ ges
from the city of Olathe because that
city repealed the ordinance granting
the company a franchise to use the
streets of the city. After the city had
granted a franchise the company did
not comply with all of its conditions.
The city council then repealed the fran
chise and the company sued for damage
because its rights in the streets had
been taken away and the sale of it's
bonds hampered. The court held that
the city had the right to repeal the
franchise when the company did not
comply with all its provisions.
The resident Of a school district in
which no school is held is entitled
to the school privileges of an adjoin-
ing district in which he owns land.
accordi1 g to a decision rez1dered by
the supreme court todav in the case of
Charles D. Evans against school dis
trict No 46. appealed from Reno coun-
ty. In affirming the decision of the
lower court. The supreme court found
from the evidence that the school board
of district No. 46 had refused to ac
cept the Evans child without the pay
ment of tuition. The court found that
evidence while not within the strict
letter of the law. nevertheless under
the circumstances of the case the abso-
lutte nonexistanoe of. the home school
is regarded as a greater condition than
anything else in connection with the
case.

The case of Cooper against Seavern
from Wallace county was reversed by
the supreme court. The details of this
case would have to be fumigated be-

they may state a cause of action for
damages. And that with the refine
ments of modern civilization the Kan

least, as they refer to the dignity and
