lt Mioht Have Been Worse.

Mark Twain during one of his lee
ture tours was waiting at a station
for a delayed train. The lecture COM
mittee and several townsmen were
with him and talking their best to pass
the time away. One man told about a
frightfully unhealthy town he had read
about, and it was grewsome tale OF
dying and burials and that sort. Ut
might have been worse" Twain fol-
lowed, In his slow and direct manner.
81 lived in that same town for two
years, and 1 never died once-not a
single time" The way he said it
seemed to daze the crowd, and not a
man said word in response. "Of
course you may think I'm lying" the
humorist continued. land I'm sorry, for
I can't get any witnesses to testify
that I didn't, because everybody else
that lived there IS dead"

fired Without Cause;
Salesman Due Damages

Atlanta, Feb. 25 The respon-
sibility of a fertilizer company on
contract with a salesman is set
forth today in decision of the
supreme court in the case of the
American Agricultural Chemical
Company VS.. NJ. w. Rhodes. The
lower court was reversed because
the petition was not subject to
general demurrer on the ground
that the alleged contract was toe
indefinite or the damages claimed
were too remote ard speculative
in character. The court then sets
up the matter of responsibility on
contract:
when a dealer in fertilizers
contracts with salesman to sell
goods within designated terri
tory for given term and that
the salesman shall receive as his
commission a certainsssum on the
number of tons sold, reserving
the right to the dealer to pass
upon the credit of the customers
procured by the salesman, and
also upon the amount of tonnage
to be sold!. in the territory, and
when the salesman on the faith
of such contract and in pursuance
Of its execution solicits orders for
fertilizers and is discharged with
out cause. the Gealer is liable in
damages flor the Unauthorized
breach of contract.
1T would be an unauthorized
breach of such contract % if
the dealers. upon demand refus-
ei to furnish the salesman with
a list OF fertilizers to be sold and
fromscustomers for fertilizers at
the market price, to capriciously
refuse to fill them; 81 to dis
charge the salesman without
a cause before his term expired.
II would not be a breach of
| the contract if the dealer in good
faith. upon reasonable ground,
should reject orders fer fertil-
izers procured BY the salesman
in territory specified in the con-
tract. "
1t is held that a contract
preached as above stated and
salesman sued for damages caus-
ed by loss of profits he would
have earned by such a breach.

nishes reasonable data for a CON-
putation.

A MANS LIFE.

4 mans career is not the whole
of life. If this poor fraction is
regarded as possessing an inte-
gral value there is a pitiful pow
erty even in the midst of album
dant possessions. The fullness of
any single life is dependent upon
the larger life about it, which it
is capable Of touching. absorbing.
and transmitting into its own Vi
tai power and energy. The prog
ress OF the world is due not so
much TO the great careers of
great men, but in very large
measure 10 the excess of time
and thought and energy which
busy men have nobly given TO
the worlds need and the worlds
distress. The untired efforts of
tired men. the generous giving
of time on the part Of those who
have no time to spare, the devo-
ton of the hours of rest TO addi-
tional service. the unrequited la
Dor. the investment which pays
no dividend-these are the fac
tors which enter constructively
into the world progress and are
the hope of its salvation. The
tragedy Of a life is its failure TO
touch the life of the world. 1t
may splendidly develop its own
resources for its own needs and
its own pleasures or, if you
please, for its own name and
fame. but its success only serves
to make its failure the more con-
spicuous If its ambition does not
seek to give as well as TO get
and is not willing to stoop to
sacrifice as well as TO glory in
succesS.-Jehn Grier Hibben.

Such panacea is this art Of

it may intensity the sense of
