QUEER LAW POINTS
Courts Have to Wrestle With
Odd Problems in Course
of Business.
WAS A QUESTION OF TIME
Curious Provision i'm an Eccentric
Mans VIII Upon Which Hangs
the Settlement.

one or the strangeSt problems ever
was that growing cut Of the DISPOSE
tiCnof the property of an Enslishman,
the father of twin sens. 1t appears
that this eccentric owned extensive
tracts of land ia Australia. the great
part Of which lie stipulated in his will
should go to the first of the two sons
TO attain the age Of twenty-one years.
The younger of the sons had emf
grated to Australia. while his brother
remained in England, 1t So happening
that they were IL opposite quarters Of
the globe when they came of age. The
fine point involved in the case was
this: Australian time is some hours in
advance of Greenwich. and therefore
the claim was made that the young
man in Australia reached his majority
before his brother at home had done
likewise. Which of the two brothers
was legally entitled to tie property?
The question is yet unsettled and bids
fair TO afford employment for the ex-
Crcise of lawyers wits for many years
to come.
Another hard nut for the lawyers to
crack was presented by case tried in
Indiana some years ago. The question
was in substance. Are eggs eggs, or are
only hens eggs eggs? Ludicrous as
this may seem. the point involved
some nice shades of meaning in these
words. sufficient indeed to carry the
case through several courts
A man had ordered of his grocer one
dozen eggs. He sent ducks eggs. These
We're returned as not being what the
customer had asked fer. but the grocer
refused to take them back. The Gus
toner. In turn. declined to receive the
EGGS. and they were sent back and
forth so frequently fer several days,
during which they became bad. that
finally the grocer deemed himself justi-
fed i'll entering suit against the Gus
toner fer the value Cf the goods.
The magistrate before whom the
case was first tried ordered the Gus
toner to pay. declaring. ridiculous as
it may seem, that ducks eggs were as
much eggs as any others. The man

An interesting experiment in tree

be mixed with locust. red oak and red

be planted together. using two rows of
chestnut to each row Of spruce.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-05-21

appealed from this, and the next court
reversed the decision on the ground
that such an order as the one in ques-
ton tacitly implied hens eggs. 1t be-
ing pointed out that If any other con-
tention was allowed any kind of eggs
might be sent, such as pigeons cana
ries' or even snakes eggs. That set
tied It.
Grandchildren az Children.
In n case in n southern court this in
teresting question once came up: Are
the grandchildren of man also his
children? In the legal sense this Ques.
ton is not so funny as it seems. mas
much as 1t has been seriously con-
tended not only In the United States,
but in Great Britain as well, what they
are.
Is SKINNED milk milk? This point
grew cut of case tried in Arkansas
not very long ago. 4 man had asked
at dairy for glass Of milk to drink
and was given skinned milk, for
which at the customers complaint
the dairyman was fined. In higher
court. however. this decision was re-
versed, it being contended that skim
med milk was really much more milk
than milk that was not skinned, for
the reason that the latter contained
something that was not milk at all
viz, cream.
those growing out of the tender pas
sion. y judge in a western court was
once called ON to determine the hour
at which evening courtship should
cease. The circumstances were these:
A merchant had become much con-
cerned at the late hour at which his
daughters lover fingered with her at
the parental abode and so sought the
aid Of the, law to expedite the young
mans time Of departure.
In delivering his decree the learned
Judge declared that II o'clock p. m.
was the latest hour at which any
young man. fiance or not, should be
tolerated in the young woman's home
and that after such hour the parents
would be entirely justified in forcibly
ejecting him.
A queer case once turned up in a
New England town. A young man had
embraced his sweetheart so vigorously
that lie seriously injured her ribs. If
he suffered any mental anguish as the
result of this contretemps, so likewise
did he suffer in pocket, for as the re-
suit Of an action brought against him
by the young woman the youth was
fined in the sum of $500 damages for
the injury done the girls ribs.
New England also affords this anus
ing case: A young Lothario Of Maine
during the course of his courtship was
each evening Hospitality entertained at
supper by his sweetheart. Some time
afterward. his ardor cooling, the young
man sought other fields to conquer.
Then what should the young woman
do but sue the young man who had
been so bountifully entertained for OBJ
tanning the suppers on false pretenses.
And. what Is more. she succeeded in
getting Il judgment.-Edwin Tarrisse

MIXED FERTILIZER BEST.
Government Expert Announces Re-
suit Of Investigation.

Washington. October. 2.-The re-
suits of a comprehensive study by
Prof. Milton Whitney. chief Of the
bureau of soil, agricultural depart
ment. on fertilizer for cotton
soirs," have just been made public.
Prof, Whitney says:
'"The chances for increase in crop
production are greater with two or
three fertilizers mixed than with a
single substance. and a larger increase
gain. 1t appears that the smaller ap-
plication Of single fertilizer-manure.

have given in general no less an in

Increase obtained from the more pro-
ductive soils based upon the yields

less than from the ..ss productive

crop from the same quantity Of fer

The campaign OF the German ac-
tors in favor Of the new theatre laws
which are under consideration in the
German Re.chstag has caused much
public discussion as to the profession
and the income which it yields. One
statistical article which is being ex-
tensively circulated says that As per
cent. Of Germany's actors receive
from 720 to 1000 marks a year; 25
per cent. from 2,40O to 3,4O0 marks;
20 per cent. from 2.4OO to 5000
marks, and only 10 per cent. have
an income of over 5000 marks a
year. The worst of it all. the actors
say, it that they can not be employ
ed for whole year, even at these
figures. THAT the theater year only
lasts nine months is no fault Of ours
nor do we blame the managers. but
that 5000 marks year (about $500
Is looked upon as good pay for an
actor for years services Is proof
that we should have an organization"
