The Menu Card In It's Frat Forn

The Menu Card In Its Frat Form.
In its old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards OF
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end Of the board. III the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was mine Of sur
prises. It was divided into courses, as
are our own dainty meals; but, whereas
nowadays the diner has general idea
that fish will follow soup end that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve and can
conceive generally the sort Of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
to happen at an early English dinner,
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence of any principle Of arrange
ment.

The site for the presidents palace,
as the first maps name it, was select
ed by President Wat hington and Ma
jor L'Enfant when they laid out the
federal city in 1892. They purposed to

Injuries to persons accompanying

personal injury action for damages

kisses. The confusion and good

friends assembled the steps and call
ed out to plaintiff to bring up the
baby and satchel. She responded
by doing as requested and getting
on the train. She remained only a
moment, then started to descend the
steps. Upon reaching the second
step, the train began to move out
moderately, whereupon she became

injuries. The conductor had start
ed the train at time when 1t ap-
peared no one was attempting to
board or descend from any car. The
Wisconsin Supreme Court said that
trainmen are justified in presum-
ing that all those who board train
at station are passengers, and
since there was no evidence that
they knew or ought to have known
that plaintiff was, at the time the
conductor gave the signal to start,
upon the train otherwise than as
a passenger outward bound, no neg

was not liable.
