THE JURY DISAGREED.
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.

- EN1S IOINI IN equity nat never
Was Decided.
An old time story of the fine points
of law and equity which arose in car
rying out an amicable contract is told
in the Philadelphia Record. There
were four brothers who had inherited
a storage warehouse from their father.
He had divided the property equally
among them.
Among the appurtenances was cat
"a fine animal, excellent for housing
This. too, was divided, the eldest
brother owning the right front quar-
ter, the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters.
Now, unfortunately, the cat in one
Of its nocturnal prowls injured the
right front paw, and the eldest
brother attended to that portion of his
property by binding the injured mem
Der with creased rag.
The cat, thankful for this relief to
its sufferings, went to sleep content
eddy before the fire; but in the midst
of it's slumbers falling coal ignited
the rag, and the animal, bowling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and, coming in contact with some COM
bustibles, set the building on fire.
When the loss came to be figured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw it all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part of the cat with the inf1ammable
rag the building would not have been
destroyed.
He, on the contrary, contended that
had the cat only been possessed of the
front right paw-his property-it
would have stood still and burned to
death. 1t was the three other paws
that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case until
they died, but they never reached an
agreement.

AT IA KED BY SHARKS.
"A Swimmers PIucky Encounter With
Two Big Man Eaters.

Two Big Man Eaters.
John Z. Clark. a well known swim
mer, in 1882 had a narrow escape
from serving as a meal for two hun
CRY sharks while giving an exhibition
at Pensacola, Fla: He had agreed to
be sewed up in a big sack, heavily
weighted with sand, and be thrown
into the bay near the navy yard, from
which bag he was to escape by cutting
his way out with a knife and swim
ming ashore
a At an appointed time a fatboat took
him out some distance from shore, and
after being tied up in the sack he was
thrown overheard. He had hardly got
more than thirty feet below the sur
face when something bumped against
the sack, and almost instantly the idea
flashed through his mind that it was a
shark. Before he could do anything
there was a bump from the other side
Of the bag. In a moment or two he
had cut his way out and was rising to
the surface, still clutching the knife in
his hand. Once something cold grazed
his leg as he was rising.
On reaching the surface he was
greeted with cheers, but noted with
dismay that there were no boats near.
He started to swim toward the near.
est one when the water parted a few
feet to one side and he could make
out the long black fin Of shark. The
monster headed at once for him, and
as he was about to dive to escape its
clutch another shark dashed in.
AS the first shark turned over on its
side in order to bite Clark dived be-
low the surface, then up under the
shark, and drove the knife time after
time into it's vitals, and it sank to the
bottom. AS he came to the surface
gasping for breath a yawlboat manned
by excited sailors from the navy yarG
ran alongside, and he was pulled
| aboard just in time to escape the sec
ond shark.-Detroit Free Press.

Knocked Into a Cooked Hat,

The expression knocked into a cock

perhaps it's origin is not so generally
known. Cooked hat was a variety of
the game of bowls in which only three
pins were used, set up at the angles of
triangle When in bowling tenpins
all were knocked down except the
three at the corners the set was said
to be knocked into a cooked hat"

PROSPERITY AND
MEAT PRICES
Prices So Fixed That q Carcass
Brings the Most Money
Always

Washington. March 22.-Gen. Mich
ael Ryan, president of the Cincinnati
Abattofr company, occupied the stand
during the session of the senate high
cost of living committee this after
noon. Questioned as to how his prices
were fixed, he said the cost of every
carcass was figured on and then they
got all they could for it.
Gen. Ryan was the only meat pack
er who. SO far. has admitted that the
recent meat boycott hurt his company.
He acknowledged his company lost
several thousand dollars a week while
the boycott was In progress. He said
the volume of business was about
$5,000,000 year and that it was satis-
fled with profit of one per cent. The
witness estimated that wages had ad-
vanced from fifteen to twenty per
cent in the last five years: twenty.
five per cent In the last ten years.
and thirty per cent since 1896. He
attributed the higher cost of meat to
the growing prosperity of the coun-
try, saying that more people are eat
ing meat now than in former years.
John A. Green of Cleveland, secre-
tary of the National Association of
Retail Grocers, said he did not think
groceries had advanced In price in
the last twenty-seven years. He will
be heard again tomorrow.

to attempt to have anything to do

New York. March 22.-With busy
afternoon and evening in prospect,
President Taft arrived here from
Providence, over the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad at 6:57
o'clock this morning. 1t was some
time after his arrival that; the mem-
bers- of the presidential party got
astir and President Taft prepared to
go to the home of his brother.
Earl Grey. governor general of
Canada, and Major Trotter Of his staff,
who came down from Albany yester.
day with President Taft, will spend
the week in New York city sight
seeing and engaged in various social
duties. At the expiration of this time
it is understood that the governor
general will visit Washington al
though no statement is forthcoming
as to whether he will confer further
with President Taft at that time re-
garding trade relations between this
country and the dominion.
The president had been at his
hour when an automobile was sum-
moned. Accompanied by Captain Ar
chibald Butt, his military aide, and by
several secret service men, President
Taft entered the car and started for
a ride about the city.
Shortly after returning from the
ride the president welcomed former
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks

GIRL ENTERS A
NOT GUILTY PLEA
She Is Charged With the Poi

Sister

Massillon. Ohio, March 22.-At the
preliminary hearing before Mayor
Remley today. 16-year-old Catherine
Manz entered plea of not guilty to
the charge Of murder in the first de-
gree. She faces a long examination
as to the death of her sister. Eliza
beth, to whom she says she gave a
mysterious. tablet Friday not long be-
fore the elder girl fell dying to the
floor.
|, In the unconfessed first story to
the chief Of police and the coroner,
the youthful prisoner declared that
she had purchased a drachm of
strychnine for a man, who later pre-
sented her with capsule to give to
her sister. 81
Today the girl gave the police the
name of the man. Beyond saying
that the individual mentioned lived in
Canton. the police will tell nothing.
The Massillon authorities went to
Canton this afternoon to search for
him. According to the girls latest
version of the affair, she purchased
the strychnine at the mans request
for the purpose of killing dog. Two
days before Elizabeth was found dead,
Catherine says, this man gave her
two capsules. One of them she
threw away and the other she placed
on the kitchen table in the Manz
home.
