BY THE COUNSELOR.

Preparing to go on a Summer Yaca-
ton in Maine camp, Prof. Harrison
of Florida College packed his books
for shipment.
He made inquiries as TO the cost of
shipping and was informed that the
rate varied with the valuation that he
placed on the books, the amount for
which the railroad would be liable in
case of loss.
Being thrifty and optimistic, Prof
Harrison placed a valuation of 500
on the set of books. which i'm fact
were worth about $500, and received
the benefit of the lower rate.
The baggage train carrying the
books was wrecked. but not through
the fault of the railroad company or
its employees. The books Svere de-
stroyed and the company ten
dered to the professor 800 in settle
ment of his claim.
The professor demurred, claiming
that the contract to avoid their full
liability was invalid. and he brought
suit against the railroad company for
$500.
But the court awarded him only
Sl00, stating:
1T is now the law that carriers
may, for a sufficient consideration.

amount of their liability by contract
with the shipper. The placing of
