The wives of the two men brought
action in district court against Drs.
Hoist and Hoist for damages under
the workmen compensation act. The
cases were tried at the January, 1917,
term of court. Following is the sub
stance of note appended to the deci-
sion of the judge which explains the
cases:
"Whether the relation of master
and servant existed between decedent
and defendants IS, upon the testimony
and circumstances surrounding the
occurrence, question of some doubt.
The preponderance seems to be with
the defendants. But this is deemed
unimportant, since the character of
decedent's employment removes the
case from the operation of the en-
ployer's liability act. By G.. s. 1913,
section 1902, as amended, it is provid-
ed that the oct shall not be construed
or held to apply to persons whose en-
ployment at the time of the injury is
casual and not in the usual course of
the trade, business profession or occu-
patton Of his employer
@'It is obvious that the decedent 8
employment was not in the usual
course of defendants profession or
business. They were physicians and
surgeons and had no business or occu-
patton. They owned the farm where
the accident occurred. They rented
the farm on shares and derived some
income from it. It cannot be said that
their occupation was that of farming,
much less that of removing, repairing
or altering buildings. The work was
wholly outside of the usual course of
their occupation. This does not, how
ever, suffice to relieve them Of liabil-
ity for this accident. Recovery may
still be had unless decedent's employ
ment at the time of the injury was
'casual.'
cit is undisputed that defendants
had never before had any like work
done; that they had nevef before ems
p1oyed Smetzer or Pearson to- work
for them in any capacity; that they
did not contemplate employing either
of them further; that the work would
require less than day to complete,
and that the men were not to return.
The contract for services, whether by
the job or by the day, was in either
event casual, under all the tests which
have been suggested in the construc-
ton Of like statutes. The employment
was for a single occasion, rather than
for many or for an extended term;
it was not periodic or recurring; it
was occasional and Incidental rather
than regular, fixed, stated or systema-
tic. Employment when not casual con-
templates that the work shall be done
'at fixed times or for definite periods
separated by intervals where the
workman mas the right to come, and
is expected to come, to work at those
times without being specially engaged
from time to time
con the conceded facts it seems
clear that this was typical case Of
casual employment, such as the legisr
lature intended to- exclude from the
benefits of the employers liability act.

Baby Marie Osborne Actress of First
School.

SOAOol'
 Baby Marie Osborne. who appeared at the Palace last night in Shadows and Sunshine" is a finished actress, all though she is but a child. Those who saw the production were well pleased with the youngsters clever interpre- tation of her part and were kept in gig gles of merriment over the funny tricks she pulled off
 When the youngster got into the stove backing and was given a bath, her mother told her that girls with black faces never, became angels. Thinking about this she meets a young colored boy and broods over his chances of becoming an angel
 Taking him by the hand she leads him to. the bath tub and makes him get in, clothes and all. She then proceeds to give him shampoo and sundry other scrubbings The little fellow ob- jects, but Baby Marie sticks to her soap and brush and the controversy finally winds up with both of them in the tub, T tried to make him an angel, but he wouldn't let me" exclaimed the little girl as her mother removed the youngsters from the tub.
 This is only one of the amusing scenes which abound in the feature and the entire production is good. The plot is 9 simple one, but it carries plen- ty of fun and amusement to make the production, on the whole an excellent one. Shadows and Sunshine" is a production which all children should see and grown-ups will enjoy the pie ture equally as well the children.
