Pntuund for Our Goods In Mexico,
A member of a prominent clay rnan
ofaoturing company of Kansas City,
recently returned from Mexican a
business tour, states that Mexicans
want our goods, "and never hesitate to
spend the money for. them, and they
have got the money, too. Take farm
machinery for instance. One ranch
man will buy a carload at a time for
bis own use. They need plows and
pumps and windmills and ice plants,
and, in fact, all kinds of modern ma
chinery. The trade is there and has
long been neglected. We can
get it by studying the needs of the
lepublio and oatering to its people."

WHIPPLE'S CLOSE SHAVE.
One of the nTen Whom Itnl'.eta or Fe
vers Cannot Get.
I was overjoyed the other day to meet
in Boston one of the noblest soldiers
whom the commonwealth sent out to
fight tla nation's battles in Cuba Maj.
It. A. Whipple of Adams and the Sec
ond, snys the Boston Transcript. I had
not seen the major since 1 had the good
fortune, on one wearisome clay In the
Santiago campaign, to be able to Intro
duce him to a sustaining Scottish bev
erage which was freshly off one of the
press boats plying to Jamaica. Maj.
Whipple, though a veteran of the civil
war, and consequently not so young a
man as some who went out from the
State, outmarched, outworked and out
fasted all the young men In his regi
ment. A soldier to the core, he filled
nil the regulars who met him, as I had
occasion to know, with high respect for
the sort of officers which Massachu
setts sometimes puts Into the field.
I have spoken of Maj. Whipple as a
veteran of the civil war. A tragedy of
patriotism hangs by that circumstance.
After serving his country well as a
young man In that war, he went out
again promptly to this one, and this
time he took with him his son In his
own regiment. The son lost his life in
the terrible Santiago campaign, but the
father came back again; he Is alive and
reports himself well to-day, insisting
that he Is none the worse for his two
wars. There are some men whom neith
er JI...C co HOI tcVci's uiu Kel at. Tiitv
can come near them, but they cannot
touch. I have a story of the major to
prove this.
When the Second Massachusetts was
under fire before Santiago and the men
were lying flat on the ground, Maj.
Whipple stood up looking through a
field glass at the enemy and he made
a good mark, for he Is six feet high and
broad-shouldered. As he was peering
thus something struck him In the face
and eyes with such force and violence
that for the moment the major had no
sort of doubt he had been killed. The
missile, whatever II was, stung iike
fire and one of his eyes pained htm as
If It had been pierced. He put his hands
to his face, took them away and looked
at them. There was no blood. Then
he looked around wonderlngly, as much
as to say: "What was It?" A soldier
was able to answer the question. "Here
It Is, major," he said, and he picked up
a chip that a Mauser bullet had clipped
off a tree close by and brought along
with It. The bullet could not touch the
major with the charmed life, but it
spitefully flung the chip In his face as it
passed by.
LAW AS INTERPRETED.
The right of the creditors of an In
solvent to the proceeds of his life in
surance is denied, In Roberts vs. Win
ton (Tenn.), 41 L. It. A. 275, where the
only premium he has paid is by a
worthless check.
The negligence of a contractor or his
employe In blasting rock on a vacant
city lot, causing damage to a building
upon an adjoining lot, is held, in Berg

give no right of action against the pro
prietor of the premises.
A gratuitous lender of brackets for
use In a staging is held, in Gagnon vs.
Dana (N. II), 41 L. R. A. 389, not to be

er did not actually know.
The construction of an Insurance pol
icy as to fires set by steam engines oth
er than those "using coal for fuel, with

solely for the court.
A statute prohibiting the deposit of
sawdust In the waters of a lake, or in
tributaries thereto, is held, in State vs.
Griffin (N. II.), 41. L. R. A. 177, to be a

With this case Is a note on the statu

The fall of a staging built in a new
building for use by a servant of a man
ufacturer of whom decorations nave

tion against the manufacturer, wuo
