not bring a thrill of appreciation to
the critic, but thoy do hold an ap
peal for a great mass of Amorleans,
and this the critical writer Is often
est unable to effect.
i Their sentiment Is true, if crudc
lv put. and the mingling of pathos
and humor Is worthy of the gener
ous humnn heart that conceived the
stories and swept them Into simple
obvious form. This popularity with
tl'o largo reading public Is a re
ward which men such as Caiieton
merit. They are not writers of
distinction In a literary way, but
.they aio good fellows In their books
! as In their lives, warming tho hearts
or friend and foo with genial pleas
antry or touching them to sympathy
with pathetic appeal.
Such writers are Hko wholesome,
l.o.iitly pjinpaiiloiiH along n dusty
nnd sometimes cheerless road. Ov
erhead are tie stars or tho fleecy
clouds or tho glaring light of the
sun. Hut these nro remote even
though Inspiring. Tho human mind
! longs sometimes for simple, gracious
comradsblp, something that Is
warm and oasy and unoxnctlng. Wo
grow dizzy and faint and Intolera
bly lonely with only tho heights to
cheer us. There Is a woild of pom
fort In tho lowly tone! of actual
liumnji contact. Just being n good
rellow In literature, as In life. Is
a noble, Inspiring nelilovomont anil
ono that too many of the great
geniuses have not really accom
plished. I WITH THE S

nommcrro and labor to Induce peo

lous content to scatter and engage
lu agriculture.
This Is another case of getting the
cart Hiiinrely In front of tit linim
If conditions of rural life aio not
now such as 1 1 bold tho people
whoso training Is agriculture, what
likelihood Is there that iiioro money
premiums will persuade a city pop
ulation that knows nothing of ag
riculture to remain lu tho country'.'
Congress, if It is to do anything,
lmd much better give Its attention
to the pause rather than tho orfocls,

rural population ou tho decline for

to find, nor Is the remedy bard to

Life In the eounlry has always
lioon the attraellvo life. Every arls-tod-vv
has been a land-owning ar
istocracy. It has been only lu our
times when the farnior Is still pin
tiniliiK that the marvelous conven
iences or the city linvo turned
sbo tide. Country life has not kept
up with city life In its bid foi tho

Jury Returns Verdict in Favor
of City of Marshfield and
C. A. Smith Company.

COQPIU.K. .Inn. 31. Tt:o Jury
In the case of Jack Parker vs. the
C. A. Smith Lumber Co. and tho
city of Marshrield, brought in a
verdict lu favor ot trio defendants
this morning. The case was sub
mitted to tho Jury about 10: an this
morning.
Tlie verdict ngalnst Parker was
arrived at quickly but tho Jury were
required to answer a number of
questions in connection with It.
Thoy dobntcd long over n question
as to whether Oeorgo Parker was
intoxicated at tho time ho was kill
ed. .lack Parker, as the administrator
of tho estate of his brother, Geo.
Parker, sued tho C. A. Smith Co.
and tho city or Marshfield for
$TGOO. He alleged that tho Smith
Company had dumped a load of
wood In tho street on South Hroad
way, that tho city had permitted
the obstruction to remain there and
Hint this was responsible for the
dentli of his brother, whoso motor
cycle collided wltli It.
Tho case was hard fought, ninny
technical poluta being raised.
Among the evldeiico Introduced
was a statement signed by a num
ber saying that they know that
Parker was not Intoxicated at tho
time of the accident. Some of
those whoso names woro attached
to the statement have since de
clared that thoy did not know the
statement contained this declaration
or they would not hnvo signed It.
Immediately following tho sub
mission of the Parker Case to the
Jury, tho trial or the case or Strang
vs. McDonald & Vaughaii (or dam
ages for the loss of a finger was
