YOUTHFUL SCOT WELL veRsED
Prompt and Concise Answer to Cate

Boston, Massachusetts, has long en-.

ingly learned children who are able, so
II is said, to dispute on subjects far
above the heads of their elders of 9th.
er regions. But Boston is not unique.
In book entitled "The Scot OF the
Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren de
scribes similar characteristic of the
Caledonian.
1t Is the inevitable tendency OF the
Scots mind to follow out every line
to its terminus, even If II be over a
precipice, and to divide every hair till
infinity is touched.
1t Is not only in church courts. but
In market places and in railway sta.
tions. In humble cottages as well as in
university societies that the Scot is
disputing, in every spare moment OF
his time, from morning till night.
The story goes that a minister over.
heard a mother questioning her child.
as II supped its porridge, after the
days work WAS done.
What" said this austere mother,
rs the true relation between kirk and
state, according to the principles OF
the Free church?'

SEEK DAMAGES OF $4,000
Jobbers Claim Granville Slate Firm
Tried to Drive Them Out

Poultney, Dec. 29-Papers were
served today on the officials of the
Sea Green Slate company of Gran
will, N. Y. in a 100000 damage suit
brought by the firm of O'Halloran &
Jacobs of Pittsburg, Pa, jobbers in
roofing slate and slate supplies. The
suit is brought in the United States
Circuit of Northern New York and
the papers were served by Deputy
United States Marshal William Irv-
ing of Troy, ~ Y.
The action is brought under an act
Of Congress, approved July 2, 1880 to
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraint and monopolies.
The complaint and all of the pap
ers in the case were drawn up by r.
J. LeBoeuf of Albany who was ap-
pointed last Monday by Governor
Hughes as justice of the Supreme
court of the state of New York The
plaintiffs claim that the Granville Co.
would accept orders and later raise
the prices of the goods and refuse TO
make shipments, all of which was
in restraint of trade and part of an
organized effort TO drive the plain
tiffs out of business.
A case very similar to this was
that of Louis Voight & Sons of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, against the American
Wallpaper trust which was recently
won in one of the higher courts the
