HIS PRAYERS WITHOUT AVAIL
Finally PhiIadeIphls Younester Felt
Obliged TO Give Up the
H Struggle.

A young man who is prominent in
church work in Philadelphia tells
this about his nephew:
Harold is the youngsters name,
and next door lives another boy by
the name of Dewey. They are each
seven years old, and like most chill
dren of their age are disposed TO get
into mischief as often as possible.
Several days ago they found a mans
coat lying on the front pavement
while the owner was fixing a gas
main. From the pockets of the coat
the two boys distracted several tick
els, and when Harold's mother
found it out she made him return
The tickets and explained the sin
which he had committed, warning
him to pray that he be forgiven that
night. He obeyed, and while on his
knees added a prayer for Dewey as
well.
The next night Harold's mother
was in the next room when he said
his prayers, and she heard him ask
God to forgive Dewey for stealing a
piece Of cake. On the following
evening he again was moved to ask
forgiveness for his friend. this time
for stealing three pieces of candy.
Apparently his patience was ex-
hausted, for the next evening his
mother was in the adjoining room
when he offered his evening prayer,
and this is what she heard:
Gosh darn it, God, / have done
the best could for Dewey. 1 guess
you viii have to watch him your

coFPEE AND TEA IN CAMP.

Coffee has its marvels in the camp
kitchen. A low complacent grunt
follows o mouthful drawn in with a

aimlesly, "Thaps good coffee.
Then another gurgling sip and repe-
titin of the judgment. Eyes, sir,
that is good coffee" AS to tea,
there are but two kinds, weak and
strong, the stronger the better. The
only remark heard is, "That teas
weak" otherwise it is good enough
and not worth mentioning. If it
has been boiled an hour or two or
smoked on pitchy fire, no matter,
who cares for a little tannin or creo-
SOts' They make the black bev-
ersgs all the stronger and more at

The Poultry Yard.

There is no better time than now
to set geese eggs. Set them under a
hen. allowing her five eggs, which
are about all she can conveniently
cover.
Some folks are for ever planning
ahead and figuring how to make
chickens pay. and while they are
pottering along with their plans and
figures the hens and their broods
are neglected.
No fowl is so hard to doctor as q
turkey. A secret of success with
turkeys. lies in avoiding inbreeding.
The baby chi. trade has grown
wonderfully. Twenty years ago
poultrymen never dreamed of start
ing a business in that line, while now
hundreds of these innocents are ann
ually sent out.
As the nights are still cold it is
advisable to give the hens but eleven
eggs at time of setting them.
This affords the hen a better
chance to cover and warm the eggs
properly, bringing forth better re
suits.
It's all right to have the brood
coops wind tight but not air. tight.
1t does not take much of carpen.

NEGLIGENT COMMUNICATION OF
SMALLPOX Plaintiff In Franklin VS..
Butcher. 129 Southwestern Reporter
42S, brought an action to recover for
the loss of wages of her minor son, and
for money expended while he was suf-
ferfng from smallpox contracted
through the negligence of the defend
ant. Plaintiffs first husband, the mi
nor's father. was dead, but at the time
she had married again. The court. in
passing upon the plaintiffs right to
recover such wages, held that 1t was
not necessary that the mother should
employ the son at fixed wage to es-
tablish the relation of master and SER
want between them, as it grew out of
the relation OF the parties: that after
the death of the father the duty to
support the son devolved upon the
mother, and she then became entitled
to his wages as a corollary to the duty
to support him. 1t was also held that
If defendant negligently and careless
~ communicated the disease to the son
1t was smmaterial whether it was done
wilfully or Intentionally, and also as
to how 1T was done of 1t was negli-
gently done. The plaintiffs husband

Reporter, 251- The court holds that as

Have you ever noticed how few peo-

ACTION FOR FAILURE To- SHIP A
CORPSE An extraordinary case is
found reported In 13o Southwestern.
1895, entitled Pacific Express company
VS.. Cartwright. 1t is shown that appel
lees husband died in Ell Paso Tex, on
Dec. 7. 1907, at a hotel and the con-
troll of the corpse was turned over to
a firm of undertakers by the hotel
authorities. One of the undertakers
had information that the wife OF de-
ceased resided in Fort Worth, and act
ing thereon, he advised the express.
agent of appellant of the death and
the amount of undertakers' charges,
and asked him to have the agent at
Fort Worth arrange with the wife for
the shipping OF the corpse. The agent
at Fort Worth, upon receiving the
message. which mentioned no undertake
ers' charges, telegraphed back, For
ward corpse collect. charges guaran-
teed." The agent at FL Paso. after re-
ceiving this reply, notified the under
takers. who still held the body. that it
was guaranty of express charges
only. The undertakers thereupon re-
fused to deliver the corpse or ship the
same until their charges were satisfied
or arranged for. Appellee did not
know that the body was not shipped
till the 9th of the month, when she
went to Ell Paso, paid the undertakers
charges. and buried her husband there.
She than instituted this action against
the express company to recover dam
ages for falling to promptly ship the
body. The court of civil appeals of
Texas holds that to effectuate a con-
tract of shipment the wife should have
first satisfied the undertakers' charges.
and it is not the legal duty of the car
rier in anticipation of the shipment.
to itself either pay or guarantee them
for the shipper. The undertakers were
necessary parties to any agreement to
ship on her guaranty of their charges.
and an agreement she made with ap-
pellant in anticipation of the shipment,
to send c. o. d. the undertakers'
charges, was conditional upon the con-
sent of the undertakers to deliver the
corpse for shipment upon appellee's
guaranty of pay at destination. There
was, then, no contract, and damages
were not allowed.
