A CROSS ON HIS BACK.

There is a story of an envious tall
or current with the French peasantry.
He fancied that his neighbor, who
received pension for the loss of an
arm incurred while fighting for his
country, was better off than himself.
Both men went to pay their rent on
the same day.
"That's a lucky man," said the
tailor to the landlord. "He gets we'll
paid for his arm.''
"But who would be willing to part
with an arm even if he were paid for
it?" said the landlord.
II would" declared the tailor.
"You !'' cried the "a d Tor d.
"Why, man, you wouldn't be willing
to bear anything of the sort, no mat
ter how much you were paid for it."
II wish some one would try me-"
"Now, see here," said the land
lord, who had studied human nature.
"I'll tell you what--if you'll wear
even SO much as a chalk mark on
your back I'll remit your rent as long
as you wear it on your coat so it can
be seen, the condition being that you
tell no one why it is there"
agreed" said the tailor eagerly.
"That's an easy way to pay rent"
So the chalk mark in the form of a
cross was made on the back of his
coat, and the delighted tailor sailed
forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintance hailed
him to tell him of the mark on his
back. Jokes were made at his ex-
pense, children laughed and pointed
at him, and his wife annoyed him
with questions and with conjugal ia
miliarity told him he was fool. The
usually amiable man grew surly and
morose he Stunned men, women
and children and frequented back
streets. Before the week was up the
tailor found himself embroiled in a
quarrel with his best friend, his wife
had threatened to leave his house,
and he considered himself miserable
and i'll used.
Finally one night he took off his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: "There / would not
wear that cross on my back another
week, no, not if 1 could have all the
money there is in Paris !"

First Case in Virginia Under New
Law Regarding Release
Agreements.

A jury sitting in the Alexandria county
courthouse, Rosslyn. Va. last night rem
dered a verdict in favor of the defendant

Old Dominion Railroad Company. The
action was for the recovery of $4,000
damages for the killing of Birch. June ii.
1905. The case, 1t is said, was the first
to be tried In Virginia under the new
law, which requires release agreements
to be passed on by a jury, instead OF by
the equity court as formerly.
The hearing was in progress three days.
The action was instituted last June
through Attorney Crandal Mackey Of
this city on behalf of the plaintiff. who
claimed that the day in question a car
Of the defendant company was running
at the rate of about fifty miles an hour
near Lyonhurst station, and without Civ
ing the proper signal for the crossing,
Birch, who was in the act of walking
across the tracks at the point in ques-
tion was struck and instantly killed. a
coroner's inquest was held. which result
ed In a verdict of acquittal. SO far as
the railroad employees were concerned.
and Immediately thereafter, IL was alleg-
ed, the railroad company secured an ac-
quittance OF liability from the heirs on
the payment of $50. This paper, IL was
cOntended by the plaintin, was obtained
under a misrepresentation and at a time
when, by reason of the death, relatives of
the deceased were not capable of knowing
the consequences OF their act.
On behalf of the company 1T was con-
tended that the law imposed the duty i'm
Virginia upon persons intending to cross
track to both look and listen before
stepping on the track, and that had Mr..
Birch complied with this requirement he
would have been able to avoid the acct
dent, Notwithstanding the speed of the
car. Attorneys Wilton j. Lambert of this
city and Judge c. f. Nicol of Alexandria
appeared for the defendants.
