Everyday Law Cases
MAJ Real Estate Agent Make
Secret Profit in Deal?
by THE COUNSELLOR.
by THE COUNsELLOR.

Henry Sanders instructed real estate
agent to purchase for him an unde-
veloped lot. The agent later reported
that the lot could not be bought for
less than $1,000, and Sanders author
ized him to close the deal at that price.
In looking over the deed that was
delivered to him, Sanders saw that
the grantor was O person different than
the one whom he knew had owned
the lot. Investigating. Sanders learned
that the agent had bought the lot at
81 400. receiving a commission OF SIS
from the seller for his services, and
instructing the seller at the same time
to transfer the title to the person whose
name appeared in Sanders deed.
Sanders made a demand that the
agent pay back the $400 he made as
secret profit, but the latter refused.
claiming that as he had not charged
Sanders for the services rendered him,
he was entitled to make a profit.
But the court held that the agent had
to repay the secret profit. stating;
1T is the duty of an agent represent
ing a principal to faithfully represent
that principal and to be loyal and faith
ful to his interest. and he cannot ac-
qIiire any interest for himself in oppo-
sition to interest or his principal. The
fact that the agent acts gratuitously
or without commission does not relieve
him of liability for wrongful acts or
negligence. whether they amount TO
fraud or not"

BRAIN TESTS

This is a test of ones ability to detect
whether or not relationship between
things still holds when the order ol
the objects is reversed For example
Is 1t true that If A is TO the right OF
B, b must be to the right Of A? OBJ
viously the answer in this case Is no
because B will be TO the left of A.
Allow yourself two minutes to tell
which of the following statements are
true:
/. If A is the cousin OF B. B must
be the cousin of A.
?. If A is different from B, B must
be different from A.
8. II A is the brother Of B, B must be
the brother OF A.
4. II every A is B, every B must
be an A.
5. II one statement proves second
statement true, the second statement
must prove the first true.
8. If A is greater than b, b must
be greater than A.
Z. II some AS are not BIS, 1t must
be that some B's are not AS.
3. IL one thing Is perpendicular to
the second thing. the second must be
perpendicular TO the first.
Statements l. . and 3 are true.
The five remaining statements are
false. Number Is the most deceptive
of these 1t is false because b may be
the sister of A.

Salaaming to q Sovereign.
This stunt requires four persons; A
Sovereig neither king or queen' two
attendants, and the person 10 oe pre-
sented, OF course, there are always
more than these four at SO formal a
function as being presented at court
The guests make this group ana they

The ruler sits on O throne. which may
be any ordinary living room CHAIR. be-
fore him tor herr is spread what is
srpnosed to be @ royal tapestry, but
il may be only an ordinary rug. and
rather small one at that.
The Surprise.
The attendants stand at each corner
OF the rug that Is fartheSt from the
throne" The person to be presented
kneels and, bending the elbows. raises
the hands before him tor herr with
the palms out. Great care must be
taken to have the position exactly right.
There are reasons. In fact, the po-
Sition is everything. for just when the
person is in the attitude of bending
forward TO make the salaam the at
tendantS give the rug a quick, short
Jerk. which makes the obeiSance Suoden
and ignominiouS. However, the hands
of the person are in such position that
no damage is done except to his Dig
nitv. The salaam is as complete as
an Arabs who bends, as you will re-
member, until his face touches the
ground.
Cartoon Puppies.
For the litters of peanut puppies you
will require a quart or more peanuts,
a small box OF wooden toothpicES,
bottle or two OF black ink, some pens
and No. / needles or several tine steel
AAkANkAAAs
The company may be divided into
teams and each completes with the other
in seeing how many of the puppies can
be fashioned in q given time. Or there
can be individual competition either
for the largest litter or the most per-
feet pup.
To Make.
The puppies are made in this way;
With a needle pierce four holes In the
shell where the legs should come ana
Attn hole for a tail. Break the tooth
picks in two and insert the pieces for
legs and tail. If the tailpiece Is bent
or moistened or twisted, or shaved to
make it shaggy, all the better. Inere
also should be two holes pierced for
ears. and into these holes tiny bits OF
the broken toothpicks should be thrust.
The eyes, nose and mouth are put on
with a pen dipped In the ink. Making
these queer cartoon dogs Is sport for a
sportsman. 1t viii be found amusingly
entertaining.

You love deeply, but will suf1er IN your

3. You are warm-hearted and gen.

A Sermon for Today
What Is Your Pricei
BIZ REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Text: Judas Iscariot, went unto the
chief priests, and said unto them,
What win ye give me. and win de-
liver Him unto you? And they cove
nanted with him for 30 pieces Of silver"
Matthew. XVI. 14-15.
Judas. for 80 pieces Of silver. sold
his Master.
The Bible has many similar stories.
Our first parents. for the sake OF q
piece of fruit, sacrificed their paradise
home Esau, for the sake OF q mess
Of pottage. gave up his birthright.
Achan, for the sake OF BabyloniSh
garment and wedge OF gold. forfeited
woman's caresSes, lost his hair. his
strength, his sight. his all. David. for
the sake Of Bathsheba, wrecked his
home and kingdom. Ahab. for the sake
of pretty garden. committed murder.
It is easy for us, as we read these
stories. to cry. 'Foolsi" And yet this
very folly Is being committed every day.
We do but repeat the stupid folly Of
these fools when we sacrifice our spirit
ual interests to the appetites Of the
flesh. or the future for the sake OF the
present.
Sold his Master. But in reality II was
himself that Judas sold. And how
cheaply-for 80 pieces of silver. It Is
amazing how cheaply men sell them
selves out. often for only q little
momentary pleasure men sell their
honor. their manhood and their whole
future. Often men sell their very souls
for the merest trifle.
What viii you take for yourself?
Do you want to sell your honor and
good name9 Do you want to sell your
want TO sell your conscience and peace
of mind? Do you want to sell your
usefulness and happiness? Do you want
TO sell your prospects for the future?
What Is your price?
