The proceedings of the mock trial,
Larkin VS.. Puterpaugh, occupied the
greater part of the evening. The case
was thoroughly sifted out by the at
torneys, there being number of COM
plications. When the jury was finally
instructed and retired for decision it
was evident some one must hang. They
did. About two of the jurors hung the
other two for an hour. After a sue
cession of ballots when it was found
the jury were not likely to agree, they
agreed to rest the decision with the
court. Judge Luth acquitted Mr.. Pud-
erpaugh for lack of evidence. An ex-
cellent supper was served by Mr.. and
Mrs. Campbell and attendants, after
which came the song period and the
dance. The next social will be held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Puter-
baugh, Feb. 10th. Ladies bring cake.

Undertaken.

In England in 1914 undertakers were
men Of influence who undertook for a
consideration to get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive to the royal will of King
James l. The three chief undertakers
Of 1914 were Lords Bacon, Somerset
and Neville. They undertook to bride
the chief speakers and men Of inf1u-
ence in parliament that year over to
the side Of the king. with but partial
success Then there were undertakers
in Ireland in 1908. They were English
and Scotch ,olonists sent to north Ire
land and were each allotted 1000 acres
of land. They were men Of capital
and undertook to pay mark year
for every six acres and to admit no
recusant for tenants: hence the name
as applied to them. But neither the
histories nor the dictionaries give any
reason for calling the men who bury
our dead undertakers.

Granite TeIeqraph Poles.

The great abundance of granite
rocks and the lack of timber in the
southern part of Switzerland have led
to the employment of the former for
purposes usually filed by the latter.
Thus in many sections of the southern
country the fences are of granite in
stead of wood. the supports for the
grapevines are granite posts. and
pavements, ETC., are Of granite. Per-
haps the most striking departure from
the ordinary. however, is the use of
granite pillars in place Of the usual
wooden telegraph. telephone and cleo
trio power transmission poles. Near
Lake Como and Lake Maggiore the
old highroads originally constructed
by the Romans are fringed with gran
lite pillars eighteen feet high carrying
telegraph wires.-Popular Mechanics.

"Overhanon Houses.

BY the year 1870 wooden chimneys
and log houses Of the Plymouth and
Bay colonies were replaced by more
slightly houses of two stories. which
were frequently built with the second
story jutting out foot or two over the
first and sometimes with the attic
story still further extending over the
second story. This "Overhang" Is pop
ularly supposed to have been built for
the purpose of affording a convenient
shooting place from which to repel the
Indians. This is. however. an historic
fable. The overhanging second story
was a common form of building In
England In the time of Queen Eliza
beth, and the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island settlers simply and naturally
copied their old homes.

such character that we can reason- ably prophecy that they will greatly reduce the time and cost of litigation in such courts. The court has adopted many of the shorter methods Of the present English procedure. and. while it may take q little while for the pro- fession to accustom itself to these methods. it is certain greatly to facili- tate litigation. The action of the su- preme court has been so drastic and so full of appreciation of the necessity for a great reform in court procedure that I have no hesitation in following up this action with q recOTnTnendat tiOn which I foreshadowed in my message of three years ago. that the sections of the statute governing the procedure in the federal courts on the common law side should be so amended as to give to the supreme court the same right to make rules Of procedure in con1mOs law as they have since the beginning of the court exercised in equity.
 do not doubt that a full cons4dera- ton of the subject will enable the court while giving effect to the sub- stantial differences in right and reme- dy between the system of cOrnTnou law and the system of equity so to unite the two procedures into the form of one civil action and to shorten the procedure in such civil action to furnish model to all the state courts exercising concurrent jurisdiction with the federal courts of first instance.
 Under the statute now in force the common law procedure in each federal court Is made to conform to che pro- cedure in the state in which the court is held. In these days, when we should be making progress in court procedure. such conformity statute makes the federal method fOU depend ent upon the action of state Iegisia- lures. l can but think it a great op- portunity for congress to intrust to the highest tribunal in this country. evidently imbued with strong spirit in favor of reform of procedure. the power to frame a model code of pro- cedure, which. while preserving all that is valuable and necessary of the rights. and remedies at common law and in equity. shall lessen the burden of the poor litigant to minimum III the expedition and cheapness with which his ca use can be fought or de- fentied through federal courts to final judgment
 worknan's Compensation Act.
 I say again that I think no act can have better effect directly upon the relations between the employer and employee than this act applying to railroads and common carriers of an interstate character. and i am sure that the passage of the act would greatly relieve the courts of the heav lest burden of litigation that they have and would enable them to dis patch other business with speed nev- CT before attained in courts of justice in this country.
