Should Be Against
Country, Not Road

Butte. Aug. 24.-(By The Associst-
ed Press.)-William e. Carroll, in the
district court rendered a decision
Thursday morning which has bearning
on damage suits brought against the
railroads during the period of the war.
II was in the case of Eliza Pierson
against James c. Davis as agent of

der government control.
The plaintiff was q telegrapher at
Cushman and in operating a sempa-
phore which she claimed was defective
sustained injuries for which she sued

inasmuch as the accident occurred
during the wal period the railway com.
pany should be eliminated and said
the suit was against the government

MY MARRIAGE
|X4
Adele Garrison's
New Phase Off,.
REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
THE WAY JUNIOR BANISHED
MADGE'S UNHAPPINESS

It was one thing to be elated over my
baby's preference of me TO his grand
mother-it was another to betray the
consciousness of my triumph. Besides,
there was the discipline of my little
lad to be considered. l knew that he
must be taught Difference to his elders
so, reluctantly. l made my voice stern
as l pulled his ciinging hands from my
neck.
Junior. that was a naughty thing TO
say to Grandmother. Go to her now
nicely, and tell her you do val her
and that you are sorry you spoke that
way"
He put his sighted hands behind him
and faced me with q funny little air OF
defiance, distinctly suggestive of q ruff
fled bantam rooster.
"Dooner not sorry, Don't want Dan
zie. don't want you, don't want Daddy
don't want anybody. Dooner dom
downstairs TO Tatie."
Strangely enough, his grandmother
had not interrupted my admonition to
the child. l guessed that secretly she
had hoped my appeal would send he,
beloved Richard Second into her arms
But at his funny little speech she
turned TO me with a gesture that
washed her hands of me for at least q
quarter of a century TO come.
Il hope you're satisfied, Margaret,
she began in the phraseology so IA
miliar to my ears, no that you've
gotten him all worked up into a temper
Indeed. | think the child has made q
wise selection as long as you've man
aged to prejudice him against his IA
Their and me. Bad as Katie il. | don't
think she'll work on the child's feelings
by threatening TO leave him. j should
think after that awful time when We
nearly lost him. YOU
Her reference TO that agonizing
nightmare was the last straw. | toos
a step toward her, and l suppose my
face must have been drained of color
for she stopped talking abruptly and
looked at me with widened eyes.
Mother" j said slowly, feeling for
every word, for fear | should not be
able TO control the anger rising in me,
Il must ask you to leave my ROOM"
/ expected a TRADE, but, instead, she
spoke but one sentence, ENORMOUSLY:
Why. Margaret, you're hysterical!'
The next instant she had one into
the corridor, and ] locked the door
after her. Then i threw myself on ths
bed, relaxing supinely from the control
l had put upon myself.
A Natural Weakness
Without knowing it, she had touched
upon a parental problem which hat
been occupying my mind for many
weeks. My little lad is just at the ag,
when habits of obedience and contro
or of their opposing qualities are mos
easily formed, But / was guiltily con
scious Of the fact that for months / has
allowed him to have his own way with
practically no discipline whatever.
1t was criminal weakness, l Otter
had told myself, for I always hav,
scored mothers who jeopardinzed tn,
character building Of their children
because of a sentimental reluctance t.
subject them to judicious discipline
But after the awful experience Of hii
kidnapping, when for days / had not
known whether he was living or dead
I never been able 20 do anything worth
mentioning in opposing his baby tyr

A dog becomes attached to the lad

in such incidents and the ending is
happy one.
Intimate details of factory life,
scenes in wonderful dam working
