Matt Froelich, plaintiff and re-
spondent, VS.. Northern Pacific Rail
way Co, a corporation, defendant and
appellant.
Syllabus:
1. Where the defendant, the North
ern Pacific Railway Co, was sued for
damages by the plaintiff for personal
injuries and the defendant inadvert-
emily failed to serve it's answer with
in the thirty days period, and the de-
PENDANT upon discovering Its failure
to answer, without delay applies to
the court for relief against such de-
fault, and such relief is granted on
the condition that defendant pay $3.50
to plaintiffs attorney as terms or
costs before the court would order
the relief asked for by the defendant,
IL is held that the imposing Of such
terms by the court was abuse OF dis
erection.
2. A district court may, when in
its judgment it is deemed advisable
or necessary, call a special term and
may also order that a Jury be drawn
for such special term. Where the jury
is ordered drawn for a special term,
Ii must be drawn in like manner as
at general term, and the cost Of the
fury must be paid in like manner as
at general term. An order made
that a Iitigant pay the costs OF call
ing a jury at a special term as con-
dition precedent to the granting Of
relief to the litigant from his default,
is an absolutely void order.

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound Of Human
Voices When He Is Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

became conscious Of a feeling Of
loneliness, writes james N. Hall, in the
Atlantic. I remembered what ]. B.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant in that isolation,
something to make one look longlngly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home in the air. /, too, longed for the
sound of human voices, and all that I
heard was the roar Of the motor and
the swish Of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hui
man quality in them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping of the
waves would be to man adrift on a
raft in midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, in part responsible
for it, was the knowledge Of the fall
libility Of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode so steadily
through the air; of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, If few
frail wires should part; Of the equally
quick, but less phlegmatic response Of
another fallible mechanism, capable of
registering horror, capable, 1t is said,
of passing its past life in review in the
space of few seconds, and then
capable of becoming equally inanimate
matter.

Siberia Has Vast Resources.

The common notion of Siberia is
based on latitude and climate. Be-
cause part of it is in the arctic circle
the whole vast region has been as
sumed to be almost beyond the pale of
civilized occupancy. Notwithstanding
that much has been written describing
Siberia as it is, the common notion is
still that 1t is fit only for penal settle
ments and that the nihilists and other
political exiles were sent to these set
Elements as living death. This is not
far from the truth. But the inhospit-
able regions in which the penal settle
ments were placed are far from being
all Siberia, and even some Of these dis
tricts are capable Of sustaining the
vigorous Inhabitants Of northern cli-
mates.
Siberia, in the economic sense, has
all the resources which go to make a
vast stretch of territory self-sustaining
as an independent nation. 1t has for
ests, mines and great agricultural re-
gions where every product of the tenn
perate climate is capable of cultiva-
ton. The timber is in the north and
west. The mines are in widely scat
tered districts.

Recalling Early KIondIke.

Just twenty years ago at this time,
Joaquin Miller, being true prospec-
tor, miner, and all around adventurer,
as well as a poet of nature, Joined
thousands of others on the long trail
to the Klondike, and wrote back that,
although his party was supposed to be
one of the first to start, on its arrival
5000 claims had already been record
ed. 1t has always been mystery how
news of the discovery of gold in the re.
hottest regions Is carried broadcast
over the face of the earth. Where
Joaquin Miller expected to find the
quiet of his own Sierras, he found pop
ulous towns and camps, and was so
disappointed by the discovery and that
he at once took the long trail back.
The great majority Of those whom he
left behind returned more leisurely, but
they are nearly all back now.-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

Determining ACE of Planets.

A novel ideasin estimating the physi-
cal condition of planets was put forth
by M. Veronnet before the Academic
DIES Sciences at a recent meeting in
Paris. He based it upon calculation
of the quantity Of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is still surrounded by thick
layer Of vapor, while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in con-
dition In which its geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
! M. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks of our earth now contain alb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth Of about
400 metres.

How He Got His Uniform.

He was a recruit in an aviation camp
In Texas. Uniforms were short there,
and many were forced to wear civilian
clothes. One young man, who was es-
pecially resourceful, was missing from
inspection one morning.
'Where's Blank?" asked the lieuten-
ant.
'In his tent, sir" replied O friend.
"He has no clothes"
The lieutenant made haste to get to
the tent.
"What are you doing here without
your clothes?" he shouted.
II borrowed the clothes wore down
here from friend and promised to re-
turn them. Last night boxed them
up and sent them by express to his
home" i.
Needless to say the lieutenant soon
"dug up uniform for the recruit.

Honorlna Bishop Brewer.

A touching incident with reference
to the death Of the late Bishop Brewer
recently came to light through On
American missionary located in a re-
mote mountain district of Montana.
When the belated news Of the death Of
Bishop Brewer came to certain wom-
an in this isolated settlement, she hoist
ed an American flag at half-mast over q
little schoOlhouse some distance away,
In token Of his death. The woman did
not belong to the church, but she had
known and respected the bishop for
many years, and it had been her GUS
tom through all the years to travel
many miles to the nearest mission
point to attend the services when the
bishop made his visitations each year.
Without respect to custom she kept
this flag there for over month, and
not until the visit of the missionary
was the significance explained and the
story related,

Russian Iron Ore.

Iron ore is found in many parts Of
Russia. although it is mined in but
few localities. In the Ural range there
are whole mountains of rich ore, con.
tanning from so to 70 per cent of iron.
Among these ore mountains are Blag-
odat, Magnitnaya and Vysokaya. De.
spite it's apparent accessibility, iron
ore in this vicinity is not mined very
extensively. The Ural deposits yield
ed. in 1913, $4,000 tons of iron ore
out Of the total 9,692, 300 for the whole
Of Russia.
Besides these, silver, copper, lead.
zinc ores are extant in various parts
Of Russia, and these deposits are prob
ably sufficient to supply her needs :
however, the development Of the min
ing industry is insufficient as yet to
make the yield meet the demand. She
Is compelled to import large quantities
Of the ores needed in her metallurgy,
while her own wealth is lying dormant.

HOOVER'S NEW REQUEST
WILL EAT UP PENCILS.

One request comes from Washing
ton which the hotels of this city are
expecting will cause them to buy more
than twenty-five thousand lead pencils
and throw away their menu cards.
The request expected from Washing
ton Is that, in the interest of food
conservation, persons eating in hotel
restaurants and dining rooms be re-
quired to write their orders instead
of giving them orally, and that bills
of fare be not placed before the din
ers, but that the person ordering the
meals be required to ask for each ar
ticle of food wanted.
The Food Administration has al.
ready expressed the belief that II a
person is forced to write what he
wishes to eat he will order less. The
Administration also has suggested
that hotels stop serving table d'hote
meals.
1t also has made known again that
no Jurisdiction is maintained over the
price of foods, but that it will expect
all hotels to obey the spirit of the
times and charge the lowest prices
that 1t possibly can charge.

HAD THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Second Traveller Decidedly More Con-
sIderate Of His Fellows Than
Was the First.

At the information booth in large
railroad terminal traveller asked for
timetable, which he looked through
until he came to the particular table
he wanted. This table he cut out with
his pocketknife, and then he put the
booklet with this table now gone out
of 1t back on the counter.
1t seemed thoughtless thing to do
because, lying there as it did with its
outer cover smooth, somebody might
have picked 1t up and carried it off
thinking, naturally enough, that it was
complete, to discover its real condi-
ton only when it was too late.
But this misfortune really befell no
one, for moment later another trav-
cler standing near, who had seen all
this done and who was perhaps more
thoughtful than the first, picked up the
torn timetable and carried it off to
crop it in the nearest waste paper re-
ceptecle.
