Twest's Docket.1

>SShSS
! "Ay ban poor man" said Yon Yonson
quietly, but Az tank Ay fight. Ay sue
you in de court" Which ne did, ac-
cordingly.
He brought an action in the district
court. "Of course the man broke hts
leg" said the district judge. He is
entitled to the money"
CAY tell you So" said Yon Yonson.
What for you make me 50 much trou-
, BILE ."
The ease isn't settled yet. Well see
about this" said the United Brother
hood Association; and it appealed the
case to the supreme court.
The supreme court listened to the re-
view of the case.
Said the attorney for the association:
THE contract which Yon Yonson signed
expressly provides hat the breaking Of
a leg is defined to be a breaking Of the
shaft Of the thigh bone between the hip
and knee joints. or the breaking Of the
shafts Of both bones between the knee
n ankle joints. Now. Mr.. Yonson
sustained q Potts fracture. That is, he
broke one OF the bones between the
: knee and ankle joints; the other bone
was broken, blu not across the shaft.
1t was fractured across the head Of
the bone. Ih1S lS Known technically as
the malicious process and Is in re-
atty a protuberance from the head Of
the bone. The contract says nothing
about the malicious process. That lets
the association out"
your honor said the attorney for
Yon Yonson, "the doctor testifes that
there was a complete solution Of the
continuity Of both bones. II that
doesn't mean hat both bones were
broken, 1 give up the case. What is the
malicious process. If it Is not a part Of
the bone! At what point can The line
be drawn between the shaft Of the bone
and It's extremity? II the malicious
process was broken, the bone was brok-
len"
The court considered. THE malle-
olus process it said judicially, els the
malicious process. The shaft is the
siIaft. ,oTt1.Ss = = contract! The
law is the law. Judgment for the ap-
tpellant."
IT tool you So" said the association
tauntingly.

Yen Yonson thoughtfully.

1on 4onson was a poor man. Oc-
casionally the thought Of what would
he open il he should be laid up with
sickness, or II he should meet with an
accident. worried him a little. tho gen
orally he plodded along without CIV
ing much thought to such unpleasant
pc sSibilities. He was a good worker
and he had the fighting courage of H.
Viking ancestors.
One day a representative of the Unit
ed Brotherhood Association called upon
Yon Yonson. and asked him &c join.
Membership carried with il an insur-
ance clause.
q: should have an accident and
break your leg. so thar YOU couldn t
work you'd get a hundred dollars fror,
the association" said the agent.
'Dat ban fine said Yon Yonson.
'Dat ban TOO fine to be true. Ay tank
you lie"
Straight goods said the agent.
You pay me a dollar a month. n any
time that o break your leg anG get
laid up you draw 800 from the Broth
erhood. Cheaper to break your leg
than not"
Dis ban great country" said Yon
Yonson. And ne signed the contract.
Before long, in the course Of human
events. Yon Yonson actually did break
his leg. At least, that is the way i.
felt. and that was what the doctor
told him. He chuckled to himself To-
a week as he lay in bed. SUCH Luck:
Then he sent for the agent of the Unit
ed Brotherhood Association.
ray tank Ky take dat hundred dol
lars now he said.
The agAn+ looked glum. Ec hadn't
q, lite believed in the contrac-. any more
than lon 7 oLson had at Ir.:, ana the
Idea Of giving up one hundred
perfectly good dollars was distasteful
II the contract q drawn so that he
couldn't get out Of paying real money
on 1t, somebody at headquarters ough,
TO learn his business. He went away
and talked to the doctor. and consulted
another IScss. .::c a-ew q salary from
the association, and then he went and
told Yon Yonson that he was laborins
under a mistake in supposing that his
leg was broken. 1T IL only wha is
known to the medical profession as
Potts fracture. Nothing to speak Of
"Ay tank Ay break my leg" laid Yor
Yonson.
"Not at ALL" aid the agent. "Yo,
read your contract"

otherwise lost beyond recovery. All
of this may be prevented by observ-
ing some simple principles in the car
of stable manure. which will prevent
these losses by heating and LEACH

The methods OF handling manure
have improved to a great extent dur
ing recent years DUE to the introduc-

ton of improved machinery. such as
manure carriers and %spreaders, which
make 1t possible to handle manures
with less labor. The improvement of
sanitary conditions, especially on dairy
farms, which require the frequent
cleaning of stables and the use OF con-
siderable amount of litter has also
improved the methods Of handling ma
nure.
The greatest waste occurs, however.
In piling ~carelessly. allowing
