FROM THE LAW COURT.
Plaintiff Wins Decision in Case of
Mears VS. Riddle.


The following rescript has been re-
ceived from the law court in the case
of Edward B. Mears, ct al, VS.. Julia
Biddle:
The plaintiffs, with whom, as brok-
ers. the defendant had listed certain
real estate in the hope that they would
find purchaser for it, brought this
action to recover the customary COM
mission. asserting that they were the
procuring cause of bringing customer
upon the scene who was not only will
ing, but prepared to purchase and pay
for the property at the price and on the
terms defined by the owner, and that
otherwise they had fully and properly
done their part.
The defendant advanced that the
prospective purchaser was not So
licited in respect to price and terms, as
she had directed; her selling price be-
ing higher and the terms contemplat-
ing a cash sale.
A cash sale is a sale conditioned on
payment concurrent with delivery OF
the deed as distingui shed from sale
where by agreement payment is de-
ferred. Whether expressly defined or
necessarily impaired in the terms,
cash sale may be waived by the seller;
waiver being a question of fact.
There was a sharp conflict in the
testimony The verdict was for the
plaintiffs. The defendant, besides
presenting a motion for new trial,
mas argued an exception.
Courts may set aside verdicts When
palpable and gross error. produced by
pYeiudice, bias or mistake OF law or
fact is shown on the records. But
verdict arrived at in fair manner
with propriety and sensbly is final
The requested instruction had al
ready been defined by the presiding
Justice to the jury in other words OF
like meaning Therefore the refusal
to give it was not hurtful.
Motion overruled
Exception overruled.

adapted from James Oliver Cur
woods famous novel of the same

For the purpose of imparting this

pany went to the Canadian Rockies,
where practically every foot of the

graphed. The result, apart from the
dramatic value of the production, is
a picture of unsurpassed scenic

THE LEGEND OF THE SPANISH
MOSS"

In days of legendary lore,
Perhaps a thousand years or more,
In lands where summer suns do shine
In spring and fall and winter time,
Lived an Indian girl of such rare grace
AS had never been seen in many a race
The chief of the largest Indian tribe
Had besought her to become his bride
The morrow was their wedding day,
And all the tribes in their best array
Did celebrate the nuptial ties
Tween Hasse the brave and Laughing
Eyes.
But soon a terrible strife arose
Tween Hasse's tribe and their deadly
foes,
And though a victory was won
The days of Hasse the Brave were
done;
And Laughing Eyes overwhelmed with
grief
Died for love of her fallen chief
They buried them both in one lone
grave,
Laughing Eyes and Hasse the Brave.
The jetty locks of the chieftain's wife
Her joy and beauty and pride in life
They were hung upon an oak above the
grave
To mourn the loss of Hasse the Brave
In coming years the hair turned grey,
And waving moss is seen to-day.
On every oaken tree the moss will
grow.
And when to southern climes you go
The trees meath those fair skies
VIII whisper to you of Hasse and
Laughing Eyes.
| am quite sure that E. c. M. has,
herself. woven this quaint legend
into this pretty poem. If you could
see us this morning, March 20, with
the mercury from 10 to Is below
zero, you would appreciate Florida
sunshine.
Crescent City, Florida March 81.
Dear Aunt Madge:
| have thought many times this win
ter of writing something to help fill
the NJ. B. column, but somehow never
got to it.
| read recently the legend of the
Spanish moss which hangs from the
oak trees in Florida and if your read
ers have not read it, it may be of in
terest to some. ! would not like to
vouch for the truth of the legend.
