"ACTS OF GOD"

A man started from Quincy,
Mass, for Boston, on january 2,
1904. Instead of reaching the Bos-
ton terminal in fifteen minutes he
got in at six o'clock the next morn
ing. He sued the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad here,
in the City Court, for two thousand
dollars for the failure of the rail-
road company to deliver HIM
promptly. The company, in de,
tense, said that the train was held
up by the worst snowstorm Boston
had ever had, and that during all
the time it was held up ii was in
the yard seven hundred feet from
the Boston station. He got ver-
dict for fifty dollars, which was
affirmed by the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court. The Court
of Appeals has now reversed the
judgment. The opinion says: The
only question is whether the biz
card in Boston was an act of God.

trust we may be permitted to make

it seems to us today, not the offer
of the riches of Colombo could
tempt us to undertake certain cares
and duties, involving often severe
and undeserved criticism, as a sure
reward for the management, for in
stance, of any car road, the world
over; for, indeed "the world over"
there must and will be accidents,
various and of divers sorts, big and
little. All this, then, a manager

come from the side of a big hill
that was located in one corner of
the farm. The farmer jumped out
of bed, jumped into his clothes and
fastened on the jump to ascertain
what the trouble was. But before
he reached the yard the noise had
ceased and he was unable to deter
mine what had caused it. The next
morning, however, he found that
big lotion boulder had rolled down
from the top of the hill and had
smashed everything in its path. At
the end of its route lay the old bee
tree. At last it dawned on the
farmer why the bees had moved,
but he is still seeking an answer to
one point: How did the bees know
that the lotion boulder was going
to fall and, if they did know about
it, how did they know that it would
destroy their tree?

reasoning.)

THE VALLEY ROAD.

At eventide I shade my eyes
And peer into the West,
Where, winding down the shining
plain,
And round each wooded crest,
The highroad goes the sunset way,
Upon the endless quest.
Full many traveller | have seen
(And one was passing fair)
Go down the valley from my door,
And swiftly vanish there.
Some l have sped upon their path,
And lightened some of care.
One day [ too shall take my staff
And down the valley go,
For one who went was passing fair,
And waits for me, I know.
And | shall find hero my Soul -
Beyond the sunset glow!

the passage where Rosenclanz says
to Hamlet, "My lord, you once did

the audience asked:
"Who built the Pyramios?'

DOING LAST NIGHT,
Fire Chief Submits Semi Annual Re.
Port-Library Report Referred
to Finance Committee.

Monthly reports of city officials,
| coupled with semi-annual reports
showing the condition of several of the
| city departments, were the principal
topics considered by the city council
at the regular meeting last night, and
aside from the discussion of the paw
ing situation, the city fathers found
little else than routine business to &C.
cupy their attention.
Fire Chief William Metz submit
ted his semi annual report of the con-
dition of the stations and the depart
ment, his report of the work done dur
ing the past year. an estimate of the
and recommendations for the future.
During the year there We're SO fires
with totaled loss of $1O26466 In
surance on damaged property was
$S,S55.16, making the total uninsured
loss amount to $1,409.50
Total estimated cost of maintaining
the fire department of the city for the
ensuing year is $2S,925 90, this includes
the $4,950 automobile apparatus, or
dered by council. The SO fires origin
ated from 25 different causes. The
department now employs q men con-

ROLLER STILL LONGS
FOR GAME OF GLOVES
Jack curley, Who Has Handled Top
Notchers, Will Try to Arrange
Matches for Physician and
High Liners.

SEATTLE. July 7.-Regardless of
the outcome of his wrestling matches
DR.. B. F. Roller yesterday announced
that he would give the ring game a
trial and in the near future the doctor
will seek matches with some of the
leading heavyweights in the country.
Roller has arranged with Jack Cur
ley. to launch his pugilistic campaign
and Curley, last night made the fol-
lowing announcement:
ga few days ago DR.. Roller proposed
to me to handle him as a pugilist re-
CARELESS of the outcome of any OF
his wrestling matches. l saw him box
in his training quarters the other day,
and he showed me all the earmarks OF
a coming champion. His height, weight
speed, hitting powers and gameness
and all the years of athletic training
favor him greatly, and above all he
has the intelligence and quick-think-
ing ability to Guido all the Ryans, NC
Coys or Corbetts the ring game ever
saw.
ITO my mind Roller will make the
ideal fighter and If he should become
champion, he will prove one of the
