NO INJUNCTION


in substance that if sheep be permitted
to so Craze and damage one residing
upon land second time, the damage
shall be doubled. 1t will thus be seen
that the penalty is amply sufficient to
prevent any solvent person so using
the range for sheep as to damage an
other, and the defendant in the case
at bar can not afford to permit its
sheep to Craze within the two mile
limit, so as to damage the plaintiff.
"The two mile limit law is q dras-
tic measure, and its provisions are
such that if the defendant should
permit its sheep to damage another
in violation Of the provisions Of the
law, the damages to be paid are such
as to fully compensate the owner o.
any such lands or possessory claim,

me to tx the sum which my daughter
might spend for charity. And now
she teaches her pupil to mend the

A n article recently appeared in
- this column insisting on the
= fact that any one. almost, no
matter how unfortunately circum-
stanced, can attain to a position Of
comfort and influence If he will ex-
ercise reasonable selfdenial and make
the most of all the means which are
within his reach for bettering his con-
dition materially and intellectually.
1t is, of course. very easy TO say
that, and the mere statement OF it
will hardly produce upon any ones
mind a convincing impression. In this
matter, as in matters generally, one
single concrete instance is worth more
than an entire volume of assertion and
theory.
Since the preparation OF that ar
ticle, one just such instance has come
to the writer's knowledge instance
that bears out all that has been
claimed and derived from a source
that is thoroughly accredited 1t con-
Germs a man who was born in the
West Indies. OF mixed Indian, negro
and Caucasian parentage. His birth
was in a thatched hut and all the
circumstances of his first years were
those of the most abject poverty.

could be more completely dark and
hopeless There was no sun to bright

The DfscouraginG Beginnings OF the
Boy Who Triumphed.
PIantain, coarse bread and salt fish
composed the daily bill of fare. The
only table implement was tin spoon
or fork, and 1t often happened that
one such had to serve the wants OF
the entire family.
In his early days the chief employ
raent Of the family and means of rev.
enue was the cooking and sale OF
bread made from the scrapings OF the
cassava root His parents were Hitter
ate; but he was sent to school, where
his aversion to study was soon con-
vented into a taste for knowledge and
an ambition TO get an education
The lunch basket that he took with
him to school was so scantily supplied
that he often went into the woods TO
eat his lunch, that his school fellows
might not suspect how poor and scanty
was the fare upon which he had to
subsist.
There was nothing in these adverse
conditions, however, that dampened
his ardor or weakened his purpose OF
getting on in the world and fitting
himself for a profession-preferably
that Of medicine
The schools on the island offered
only imperfect facilities. and he con-
ceived the idea of running away from
home. The only means OF accomplish
ing this was to get aboard some YES
sci as a Stowaway.
After being repeatedly thwarted In
this attempt, he finally turned up at
Panama, where he found himself PEN
niless and was jailed as a vagrant. On
getting out of Jail. he got position,
