PROBLEMS OF COMMON LAW
Times Have Changed Since the Grea,
Authorities Wrote Learnediy on
the Subject.

In the early history Of the common
law, when recorded presidents were
far less numerous than they are to-
day and when learned CLOSES and com.
mentaries were few, 1t was more near
ly possible for an industrious lawyer
to know them all. Just as DR.. Samuel
Johnson ventured to write dictionary
of the English language out Of his own
head, so did William Blackstone and
James Kent attempt to state the en-.
tire common law. He would be bold
and an ill-advised man who would at
tempt to do either today.
In their day 1t was possible to re-
gard the opinion Of a Judge in a liti
gated case as the last word upon the
subject OF his decision. So. also. the
opinions Of the few learned commenta
tors, like Coke and Blackstone and
Kent, were regarded with much
greater generation than are the opin
ions of their modern successors
The modern judges and writer's are
often compared much to their d!sad
vantage with these venerable masters
Of the past. But this Is far from beins
wholly due to the superior learnine
and ability Of the ancients; 1t is due
in part to the greater simplicity Of
their problem. and in part to theil
lack of competitors on the top rounds
Of the ladder.

charge of the town opera house to
secure an added stipend. Thence. in
fact, came his splendid vision"
Perhaps conditions exactly united
to arouse his imagination upon that
special evening. As the manager of
the country opera house, he had to
see that 1t was opened and closed.
An opera was being given. 1t was a
brilliant picturesque composition, we'll
delivered and the star. Miss Annie
Winthrop, was the principal singer.
1t had been restful and delightful
to the old man to listen to her beauti-
full singing. The company had brought
with them some attractive scenery.
There was the glamour Of vernal
beauty combined with palatial mag
nificence. When the entertainment
was over, old Abel sat down on the
stage to rest bit before turning out
the last light. The glare and glitter
had made Abel dreamy. He slept.
There came a vivid vision. 1t was
Of the old homestead, replaced by q
roomy mansion. There were broad
porches, an observation tower. There
was lovely hedge. swings. a tennis
court. He dreamed that he sat in a
comfortable hammock, while his lit
tie nephews and nieces disported on
the lawn. Supreme contentment was
his lot. Then, suddenly, shrilly, there
rang out the appalling scream Of
"Fire!"
The shout aroused him. He ran out
side to see the hotel with which the
theater connected going up in smoke.
Someone spoke of victims imprisoned
on the upper floor. The brave old
man breasted the dense smoke to
reach the second floor. There he was
driven back by belching fame.
He staggered, choked. blinded. to
stumble over a senseless form lying
across the landing. 1t was that Of a
woman. He had just sufficient strength:
to lift her and bear her to the street.

story stairs. She could not walk. The

"She must have shelter and she is
welcome to my poor home. II it's good
enough for her"
So, Highlands had guest. Mrs
Day tended the stricken singer as

a week, saw her and loved. but 81
lently. The delight Of old Mr.. Day
was to sit evenings and hear the pa
tient-singer. She had to cancel hel

MARKETING BUREAU
TO HOLD MEETING IN JAX

That so much qualification has
been expressed with the success Of
the Florida Marketing Bureau and
that its scope will be broadened and
also that the style and name will be
changed to the Florida Marketing
and Distributing Bureau at the
Ocala meeting was the statement
yesterday of ]. P. Hewitt, who is in
charge OF the Office and shipping.
There will be another meeting in
this city July Is, at which plans
will be made for the fall and winter
marketing and the matter Of a chap
ter will be handled, the tentative
plan being to incorporate the same
with capital of $4,000 with only
a certain amount to be taken by any
one member, the bureau to be one
of cooperation and not for profit.
The bureau will secure the SER
vices of expert picking and packing
authorities for the free use of men,
bers. 1t is shown that there IS a num-
Der of safeguards in this part of the
trucking industry which if exercised
will enhance the value of the ship
ment.
The movement of melons have well
started. the Office here being in re-
, ceipt of telegram from ]. c. Swim
dell of Lakeland, that he would have
about one car per day of melons for
, the ensuing fifteen days.
Not only in carload lots but in
smaller shipments, perhaps, the bu-
reau is doing its most effective work
for the farmers. In the past forty
DAYS 14,811 crates were diverted
here to the smaller markets of the
south and middle states, good prices
being received. -TimesU Union.

Cruel Treatment.

Thomas A. Edison smiled when ref.
erence was made at q dinner to cruel
and barbarous treatment. and said
he was reminded Of an incident along
that line.
Some time since q pretty young
wife brought suit against her hus-
band for divorce on the grounds OF
cruelty, and when the case was called
the fair petitioner was put on the
witness stand.
you say in your petition. madam. "
interrupted the judge at one interval.
that your husband treated you with
great cruelty"
Yes. sir" was the soft and meek
rejoinder of the witness, he was
cruel to me very often"
In what particular way?" asked
the judge. Il want to hear some spe-
cific cases"
In many ways answered the pc
titioner. "One Of the worst things he
used to do was to say things to me
on the telephone, and then hang up
he receiver before I could answer
back. "-Philadelphia Telegraph.

the old man completely. One evening
when they two were alone. he told
her of his vision. After that, more
than once she made him tell 1t once
again.
The day she left Mrs. Day cried
over her as though an own daughter
were going away. Alton was there.
She looked once into his eyes. She
read their secret and lowered her
own. Then she flung her arms about
the old mans neck.
Dear, dear friend" she said fer.
vently, Il shall never forget you"
And then, between kisses, she whis-
pered in his ear:
THE vision splendid-wait, hope!
It shall come true!" and was gone.
and with her sunshine seemed to de-
part from the lonely house.
One year went-two years. Alton
had secured work with q construction
firm, but liberal compensation and q
permanent establishment were q long
way ahead. He never forgot the beau
tiful songstress. Mrs. Day mourned
for her The old man recalled her
bonny face with love and longing.
One stormy day q great cyclone
swept through the district. The Day
family CHANGED to be in town. When
they returned home they found the
old house heap Of ruins.
Then the old man and his wife
sought temporary home with the
widowed sister of Mrs. Day. They
were made dearly welcome, though
the flour barrel was not always full.
It was four months later when an
automobile halted outside the lowly
home where the old couple fretted
and pinned to get once more upon IN
Independent domestic footing. A flash
ing form leaped from the machine.
Father Day." she cried, dear, dear
mother Of mine, the only one l can
remember. am back to you! You
are to come-come-come! Oh! the
joy of this moment
Annie Winthrop was so excited she
was incoherent. She had won wealth
and fame. She had arranged for a
new home for her dear old friends
she said. back in their native village
They must come and see 1t.
As they neared old familiar scenes
the eyes of Mr.. Day became misty
Then. as they turned past dense
grove, there was Highlands.
Look. oh, my cherished dear!''
cried the exultant Annie
The splendid vision!" gasped the
old man, spellbound.
Yes, there, upon the old site, was
the mansion he had dreamed Of
porches. hedges. swings, tennis court
all ready for the children! Money
had done wonders In the way Of
speedy construction.
1T is your home-yours!" spoke
Annie, and enough behind it to make
your last years the best years of your
life."
He could scarcely comprehend II
all. He could not realize the deeI
love and devotion of this peerless
friend, who had devoted her life t.
reward him for all he had done fol
her.
The days went by, the children
came. then Alton. Annie fingered. Sh,
was waiting-waiting for the man shc
had worshiped for over two years
to tell her that she was to him th'
one star in his armament of love!

THE GERMAN VIEW.
BY Hugo Won Kliest.
q q n Il * II x II II

The same principles of organiza-
ton which have made the German
army the undivalled organization
that it is, have been applied with
even greater success to the develop
ment of tn naval side Of Germany's
militant power.
The German navy is, indeed, vast
ly more Of a triumph Of modern Ger
many than is the army, for the prin-
eiples upon which the army is based
were put into operation over hun
dred years ago, and the army is con-
sequently much older than the navy.
The impoverishment of the Ger
man states as a result of the Ma
poleonic wars and later struggles,
and the fact that she has but short
coast line and had thus for long
time little or no eversea interests,
prevented the development of her
marine.
Germany did not feel the necessity
of maritime development until the
pressure of population became SO
great that it was evident the coun-
try could not be made to furnish
enough food for subsistence. In
addition to this growing peril. kas
the necessity Of having an outlet for
its trade, and these causes forced
upon Germany the necessity of a
merchant marine and the corollary
Of a navy.
