A Remarkable Man.


John Ziska, the great Hussite leader
of the fifteenth century, was one of
the most remarkable men that ever
lived. His life story reads like a ro-
nance. Nothing in history is more in
teresting. more thrilling, than the ac-
count of his heroic deeds. Though
blind and always greatly outnumbered
ziska invariably beat his enemies and
established for himself fame that
will last forever. He was never beaten
in a battle. His very name was ter
ror to his enemies. He died in 1924,
while besiegins prazabislaw. at the
age of sixtyfotr. New York Ameri-

FOOLED HIM BADLY.
Now He Kicks on Letters Written In
the Third Person.

In one of the Paris restaurants a
party of literary men were discussing
the merits of various epistolary STYLES.
One of them, Monsieur A, made
fierce attack on letters written in the
third person. such as Monsieur Y.
has the honor to inform and so on.
Another of the party defended them,
maintaining that they were not only
more ceremonious, but that they were
more polite
That's good idea" replied Mon
sieur A. THE foundation of all po-
likeness in letter writing is to express
clearly what you mean to say Now.

IN Praise OF Fried Tomatoes.

We may be wrong, for no one is
tnfallible in questions of taste; never
theless. we opine and make bold to
maintain that the mc elicious pro-
duct of the gardenei toll and the
housekeepers' magic is the fried to-
mato. To us it is utterly inconceiv-
able that the ancients should have
considered the fried tomato poison

held by many persons Of intelligence

Spoons.

The origin of the spoon is uncertain.
1t must have been invented at very
ancient date, for it is found among
people that have never come into con-
tact with civilization. The necessity
of having some implement for dipping
water seems TO have led first to the
invention of the calabash or the use
Of the cocoanut shell and later on to
the spoon.

RAILWAY ATTACKS
ACT OF CONGRESS
Atlantic Coast Line Saws Hep.
burn Railway Act Is IN
constitutional.

Attacking the constitutionality Of
an act of Congress in case involving
a total Of s1S1.76, the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway Company Is evidently
engaged In fight for principle. 1t
scored a point yesterday when writ
OF error was granted 1t in the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
The Judgment complained OF was
rendered in the Law and Equity Court
Of the city Of Richmond. in suit
brought against the railway by John
G. Hagan, G.. B. Christian and III. b.
Christian, doing business as Christian
Brothers Company.
A soda fountain and It's fixtures
were consigned In two shipments to
r NJ. MCLAUGHLIN, at Bowmore, N. c.,
by way of the Atlantic Coast Line.
The goods we're delivered to the Red

condition. according to the petition.
but were so handled on the small road
that when they reached their destina-
ton they We're worthless.
Involves Hepburn Act.
In giving judgment 1t appears that
the lower court relied upon what Is
known as the Carmack amendment to
the Hepburn act This provided that
a bill of lading Is proof OF certain re-
sponsibilities on the part of the road
Issuing IL.
Attention is called in the petition to
the fact that the Virginia Supreme
Court has already held that the amend
ment In question might possibly de-
prive a concern of property without
due process of law. and is to that
extent in contrayention of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States
The point in the case. of course. is
the extent OF the liability of the rail-
road on whose lines the shipment origi-
mates and which issues the bill OF
lading. when the damage is done on
another road.
The argument is used in the petition
that II the Carmack amendment is
binding. there will be a complete
change as 10 the obligations when in
tcrstate shipments are received for a
destination beyond the lines of the
original road.
In addition, the bold statement is
