QUINCY, ILL.,, Aug. 20.-The village
OF Paloma, this county, was the scene
OF distressing accident at noon OF

with Max Bolan, travelling salesman
for a cutlery company
At Paloma, which they reached al
Has O'Clock, they found that light

the village, afraid Of an explosion,
stood at a safe distance, but the two
strangers made an effort to topple
over the shed and prevent what 1t
was feared would happen. Procuring
a 2x4 scantling Is feet long, they used
1t as battering ram, and with the
first assault on the frail structure
caused it to loosen from its foupda-
ton. The men were warned to desist
as light explosion followed quickly
on their first attempt to knock down
the building, but they tried again and
simultaneously there came a roaring
explosion and q solid mass OF flame
shot through the shed and into the
air distance Of between twenty and
thirty feet.

Crushed lies that on the sodden

ITO which some woman's pangs gave

Wasted the love, the toll, the care.
The father-pride, the mother prayer.

Her butchered husband has beer

DINER PURCHASES
ONLY WHAT HE EATS
This Law Of Conduct Governs Res
taurants, According to Supreme
Court Decision.

What does a man buy when he
seats himself in a restaurant and
gives his order? The foodstuffs that
are put before him, or merely what
he consumes? Many q thrifty trav-
eler slips an orange in his pocket for
subsequent enjoyment; is he legally
entitled thereto, or does his act re-
duce him to the status OF q larcener?
The vigilant servant Of the victualler
not infrequently seeks to quad the
interests OF his master; and the Con-
necticut supreme court has decided
that the diner is entitled not to all
that is set before him but only to
what he eats, says the New York Sun
which prints the following:
Reciting Lord Mansfleld's declara-
ton that, "the analogy between the
two cases of an innkeeper and vic
tualler Is so strong that it cannot be
got over" the Nutmeg court held
that:
Tn neither case does the transac.
ton, In SO far as It involves the sup
ply OF food or drink to consumers,
partake OF the character OF a sale OF
goods. The essence OF 1t Is not an
agreement for the transfer OF the
general property OF the food or drink
placed at the command Of the Gus
toner for the satisfaction OF his de.
sires or actually appropriated by him
in the process Of appeasing his appe-
tite."
The hungry man at table is strictly
limited in his rights, yet those rights
are clear and not to be ignored:
"The customer does not become
the owner Of the food set before him,
or OF that portion which is carved
for his use, or OF that which finds q
place upon his plate or IN side dishes
set upon IL.
mo designated portion becomes HIS.
He is privileged to eat, and that Is all.
1.-THE uneaten food is not his. He
cannot do what he pleases with It,
That which Is set before him or
placed at his command is provided
to enable him to satisfy his immediate
wants, and for no other purposes. He
may satisfy those wants but there he
must stop.
HE may not turn over unused por
lions to others at his pleasure or
carry away such portions.
"The true essence OF. the transac.
ton is service In the satisfaction OF
a human neef or desire-ministry to
bodily want"
The customer buys the right to de.
stroy that which Is necessary to him.
No title passes before he consumes
