D Ranoor Case.

A rescript handed down from the law
court and drawn by Associate Justice
Leslie G. Cornish in che Penobscot cDun-
Is case Of Elizabeth Grant, Adm'r ".
Bangor Railway & Electric Co. over
rules the DEFENDANTS motion for new
trial.
This Is an action on the case brought
by the plaintiff, as administrators of the
Estate Of Ida Bernice Grant, her de-
ceased child five years and three months
old, to recover damages al common law
for injuries sustained by her intestate
by reason of being struck and run over
by a ear Of the defendant on Harlow

r. NJ July 13, 1910 from which Injuries
the child died few hours later. The
case is before the law court on defend
ants motion to set aside tile verdict as
against the evidence.
The rescript holds
l. That from the motorman's state
ment 1t is difficult TO resist the c0nelu-
sion that he failed TO exercise that dc
gree of prudent and Watettul care which
the situation demanded. especially in US
ing that degree of preeautloH in reducing
the speed of the car and having IL under
his Immediate control which the eXig-
encies required.
2 That the verdict was not manifestlv
Wrong in holding no contributory negli7
genee ON the part of the child or its
mother.
3 That there is an age where the court
can say a. a matter of law that child
cannot exercise any care under the cir
cunstances, and also an age where tho
court can say as q matter OF law that a
child is capable of exercising some care
under the circumstances, but the pre-
else limits of these two clauses are not
settled Between these limits is Zone
where the jury are permitted to pass up
ON the question the test IN each ease be-
ing the capacity of The child to exercise
Gaze for itself.
T. That no hard and fast rules can be
laid down as TO the care Of children and
the financial condition of the family and
the other cares devolving upon the par
ents are not to be ignored.
s. That i'm this case the mother used
that degree of care which an ordinarily
prudent woman in her condition in life
and under the same circumstances would
have used.
6 IL the jury found that the child her.
self was capable of exercising care. then
the finding that-she had used that degree
of care which the ordinarily prudent child
Of her age and intelligence would have

not manifestly wrong.
The only want of care which could be

Railroads Fifty Years. Ago.

A curious relic of railroad operation
fifty years ago, down in Tennessee
and Georgia, is exhibited in the fol-
lowing extracts from the rules then
in force.
Each engineman will keep a watch
which must be regulated by the time
of his conductor at the commence
ment of each trip, and will always
have in his possession the current
schedule book.
Should any stock be killed which
may be likely to endanger the safety
Of the next train passing, the engine
man will stop his train until the track
is cleared.
AS a general rule when trains meet
between stations, the train nearest
the turnout will run back. Any dis
pure as to which train has to retire is
to be determined at once by the con.
ductors, without any interference on
the part of the enginemen. This rule
is required to be varied in favor of the
heaviest loaded engine or the worst
grades. If they meet near the center,
in case of backing, a man must be
placed on the lookout, so that any dan.
ger to the rearmost part of the train
may be seen and the engineman at
once receive notice. The backing must
be done utiously.-Railroad Mans
Magazine.

Girl Ran Locomotive.

81 dare you to run this engine" said
William Pagenhart, an engineer en-
ployed by the contractors double
tracking division of an eastern rail
road, to Miss Ethel Seiple, telephone
girl.
You can't dare me-" was the
prompt reply the engineer received,
and without further ceremony the
young woman jumped into the cab,
threw open the throttle and the engine
started down the tracks.
The contractors had laid their own
tracks from Wapwallopen to a point
where a trestle is built Miss Seiple
sent the engine down the half-mile
at high speed and brought 1t to a
stop at the termination of the track.
She handled the engine in a way that
surprised the engineer, who was per.
mitted to ride as passenger.

condition. Railroad rails will actu-
ally creep forward along the ties.
Solid and ponderous as they are, the
steel rails are not immune from the
effects of heat or the steady pound
ing of long trains moving over them,
always in the same direction.
On the railroad tracks laid down
over Eads bridge this peculiar phe-
nomenon may be observed any day in
the week. Rails creep just as rapidly
over this structure in January as they
do in August. Many trains roar over
this piece of track suspended over the
Mississippi. The constant pounding Of
these heavy trains and heavy engines
sets the track a-creeping, Fifty feet
of rail month is cut from the east
end of the east-bound track and from
the west end of the track over which
the west-bound trains pass.
The rails travel twenty-five inches
every day all the year round. In
about two years a given rail would
wander all the way across the big
bridge. 1t has been necessary to put
in "creeper" device on one end and
"a feed rail- on the other in order to
keep the engines from coming down
through an unexpected gap to the
bridge floor.
Heat has the same effect on a piece
of railroad steel. 1t will cause 1t to
elongate and press against the rails
at either end Once in a while there
is railroad wreck produced by just
such a happening. The hot sun pours
down into a cut upon cinder road
Bed or upon the rails out somewhere
in the prairie and they begin to
"kink" and twist under the glare The
next train that comes along at a fifty
mile an hour gait finds itself piled up
in the ditch The rails have crept
until they could creep no farther and
then they have tried to tie themselves
into knot
In wet weather the rails and ties
on open track show the same tenden-
| cy to creep as do those on the Eads
bridge tracks. Under the pounding
propulsion of heavy train they begin
to slide forward, but in these cases
they take the ties with them. The
whole track moves for many inches
and would continue to move indefinite
ly if the section gang failed to come
along and true" things up again.
Bridges and other structures actu-
ally grow longer under the heat Of a
summer sun and contract under the
chill winds and frosts Of winter. The
Washington monument feels the suns
rays through all its granite structure
when the sun gets hottest in summer.
Experiments show that it is slightly
out of plumb on every hot day. More
delicate experiments show that it in
clines toward the sun as that luminary
moves around the horizon.

He Knew.

The owners OF a certain farm had
butter and eggs brought them daily
by the daughter of the farm. A train
ed nurse had case at the owners
home. One day the farmers wife and
daughter were discussing this. when
the little boy, who had been listening,
said: Rita, If | go with you tomor-
row, will you show me the trained
nurse?" The girl said she would, and
the next day he accompanied her. The
nurse came into the kitchen, said a
few words to him, and went out He
ran home at once, and arrived breath
less. Mother" he cried, the train
ed nurse is nothing but a girl!"-Har-

these are the three leading beef
breeds, there are others, such as Red
Poll and Devon. By some writer's the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose; but for the present we
will consider them beef Breeds
Of the three breeds mentioned first,
we can scarcely say one is better than
the other, for they belong on the same
plane. 1t is matter of choice or
preference with each man for himself,
which he likes best, and then that be-
comes the best for him. Every one
of us will give our best attention and
efforts to the things We like best
Therefore the breed of cattle we like
best will give us best results and be-
comes best for us.
The two remaining breeds are good
and in some sections are very popular,
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have a tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When we go into the business of
producing beef we want the breed of
cattle that will produce that product
at the least cost and in the greatest
quantities. Then it behooves us to
select one of the best breeds. l say
one of the best breeds, and I mean
one. Do not make the mistake that. so

Hlqh-Handed Justice at the Canal,

Mr., Bishop, characterizing Col G. w.
Goethals, emphasizes especially the
big mans many-sidedness. Besides put
ting through the biggest engineering
job In the world, he has been, during
his years at Panama. a stanch fighter
for the laws of economic decency.
Colonel Goethals is a fighter and he
will fight trust as readily as he will
fight labor union. Whole cargoes OF
tainted meat have been shipped back
by the commissary, because the beef
trusts goods were not up to sample.
Thousands of square yards of screen
ing were condemned and left unpaid
for, as soon as 1t was discovered that
the copper trust had put in so much
iron that they were rapidly falling to
pieces with rust Colonel Goethals Ia

In this way skim, one-half skim,
whole milk and cream may be put out
by the same wagon at prices varying
according to the quality without dan
ger of the purchaser being defrauded.
All this milk is Of the same high
sanitary standard. Thirty pounds Of
ice must be provided for every eleven
gallons of milk produced.
There are LOO cooperative and 800
private creameries in Denmark. These
manufacture over 200,00O,0O0 pounds
of butter year, eighty per cent Of
which is exported to Great Britain. In
summer the milk is delivered twice a
day and in winter once.
Stringent rules are laid down in re
gard to cooling the milk on the farm
and in not mixing mornings and
nights milk. All foods which may
impart an Objectionable flavor to the
milk are forbidden.
The creameries are compelled by
law to pasteurize all skim milk by
heating to 1870 degrees before it leaves
the creamery, to prevent the spread of
tuberculosis through this medium.

many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either one. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis.
tinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt 20 confine the poor qualities Of
both breeds in the offspring. AS an
example, and one that is commonly
practiced, if you breed Holstein COW,
which produces a large quantity of
milk but poor in butter fat, to a Jer.
sey bull, breed which produces a
small quantity of milk and rich in but.
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt to produce heifer that will pro-
duce a small amount of milk, the char.
acter inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from the dam The reverse is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be-

take it We do not expect to raise
beef cattle, or any others for that
matter, except for the profit they give
us in consuming the products of our
own farm, converting them into beef
and establishing new channel
through which to market these prod

Then, If this is our desire, do as We
would in purchasing a piece of ma
chinery for any other purpose-buy
the machine that was manufactured
for that particular purpose, and buy

do most satisfactorily the greatest
amount Of work and at the least cost.
am a great believer in beef cattle
when we can make them consume our
farm crops at market price and save
the trouble of hauling these away.
Unless we can figure market prices
for our crops fed at home, then the
feeding or raising of cattle becomes a
burden and not profitable business.
Yes they should do more than this.
They should make us a profit above
all cost of feed, labor and incidents
which always enter into any business
proposition or venture.

Watch for "kinked" Rails.

Most engineers run with care on a
hot day. They are expecting "kinked"
rails at any minute. The engineer
with good eye can spot kinky and
twisted rail in time to at least cut
down his speed. 1t will be easy to see
on a stretch of straight track, for 1t
will bow UP like hoop in some in
stances. If he fails to see 1t until
almost upon it he shuts his eyes and
hopes that all his string of cars. en-
CINE included, will take it on the run.
If he is lucky enough to get over it
without being derailed he reports it
from the first telegraph station. The
next man might not be so lucky.
