Ilatied all a nl sill bU lit 111ue i1cid(lent tf an anti-railroad suit that was tried in a small town in Texas inl the latter part of P8S. An .Jbsi-act of the case set forth that t -a weaI Willie' cointingo erossties (liM Summ111Ierl a Itel'Ilooli. came upon the I Scvne of a section master's humble lmestead locatei upol the right of way. He made the usual call for food and the section master's wife had nothing to offer the wayfarer except a dish of cold collards, which had beein left from the noonday meal, which she gave Willie. Willie ate of them and I imagine lie licked the plate. When he finished. lie plodded on towards the town and upon reach ing a convenient point. he lay down and sought rest. In the early hours of the succeeding morning Willie de veloped a severe case of colie and in his pains he uttered many groans and moans. About that time a lawyer was passing nearby and sought the cause of the disturbance. Upon converse with Willie, he soon learned the facts as set forth and provided (excuse the t legal phrase). "Willie," said the, man of law, "you have, sir, a ground of action for damages against the . railroad company. Come to my office and I will draw up thee omplaint." In due time the case was tried and Willie secured a judgment against the I "common carrier'' upon the .ground . that the section master's wife had given Willie a dish of cold collards to eat: that the collards had been kept until they had become soured; that the defendant knew om should have known the collards to have beei highly in digestible and unfit to be taken into the human stomach: further, that the section master was an agent of the said railroad company and that his wife being unto him ''a partner'' that the liability of the railroad comapny. was clearly established. I have heard. that a large nmber of fine Jersey and Holstein cows are annually killed by railways, but no one ever heard of the untimely death of the old bob-tailed, butt-head breed by this agency. I don 't know why. this is. I guess it would take a Phil adelphia lawyer to find the reason. I was knocking about in Georgia some years ago and I lived by a rail road that was pretty hard up and ran poor equipment and just managed to pay taxes and expenses. Nobody ever sued the poor old M. & K. G. Co., H while in the next county there ran through the great rich and powerful "Central." They used to have to 1 hold three or four special terms of common pleas to keep the docket clear of cases and 90 per cent. of these liti gations were damage suits against the railroad. I asked a friend why our ' line was never "jacked up" too, and he said Georgia lawyers ain't got time to hunt "birds ' nests" when they can sit around and pick up nug gets. . Now~ I have often wondered what my old friend meant. I never could search out a riddle, so I'll leave it to the same old lawyer up in Philadel- . phia to solve. W. P. Maher. t Blackville, S. C. THE HONEYMOON CAR. C It Pnlman Coach, "The Republic," Ar rives for Miss Alice. t Philadelphia Press.1 For more than an hour yesterday the new Pullman p)alace car, Repub lic, in which Miss Alice Roosevelt and C'igressman Nicholas Longworth will maise their honeymoon tour, stood on the- tracks in Broad street station. The few persons to whom it was known that this was to be the honey moon car examined it very curiously, and those who didn 't know it admired it as a splendid specimem of the pal-' C ace car. Clement A. Griscomi, a director of t the Pennsylvania Railroad company, who acted as host to these interesting sweethearts during their recent visit here, took the Republic out yesterday on its trial trip. The car was turned out of the Pulmnan shops in Illinois ta week ago and was brought here ~.

At the other end of the car is the )a-lor and dining room, in which the vood is Dutch oak and the upholstery -ed leather. There is a table large nough for six. although it will loubtless not be called upon to ac -ommodate more than two. At one ide is a china closet fixed in the wall md at the other a writing desk. There is a bed room next the par or and another adjoining the obser -ation room, each containing a double hite bedstead. Between them are tpartments which may be converted nto state rooms by lowering the )erths, but during the honeymoon of he president's daughter they are tc >e made up as "cozy corners." Both of these apartments are finish in mahogany and upholstered it yreen. .In one there are two chairs And in the other a davenport. Each bed room is provided with a bureau, containing a big mirror, and oncealed behind tiny doors in the mall are washstands. Electric read ng lights are conveniently placed ith push buttons at the heads of the >eds. Between the parlor and the kitcher s a pantry, two by eight feet, stocked eithi everything that a cook could pos. ibly need, and everything brand ne'w 'or the bridal pair. In this palace of luxury will Con' ~ressman and Mrs. Longworth b< hirled over the republic for whicl heir ear has been named. Whenevei hey desire it, the car will be switch d off here, there or anywhere for at ong as they care to stay, and it wil iot be put into general use by th< ?ullman company until they say: "Our honeymoon trip is over.'
