worl y amusement and recreation, or
that their trolley ride was incidental
to‘participstion in golf. fishing or other
sport, or to their business, some nice
questions will arise in regard to the
liability of the company. As late as
A. ,D.. 1807 the Connecticut legislature

not providing that 'eveny person who

works of necessity or . ‘ ' “or

er a person who is injured while vio-
lating such a statute can recovdr for
his injuries, and it would seem that
the question has never arisen in Con-
necticut, but in the neighboflng state
of Massachusetts the opinions of
whose courts are held in such high es-
teem, it has been held that a person
who is injured by reason of a defect
,in a highway while traveling on the
highway and carrying meat for profit
and gain cannot recover.
"This conclusion was arrived at un-
.der a statute similar to’tbe Connecti-
cut statute. in Jones vs. inhabitants of
Andovcr. 10 Allen (Mass) 18, in which
case Chief Justice Blgelow said: fit is
true that no direct unlawful act of
omission or commission by the plain-
tiff done at the moment when the ac-
cident happened, and tending imme-
diately to produce it. is offered to be
shown in evidence. But is also true
that if the plaintiff had not been en-
gaged in the doing of an unlawful act
the accident would not have happened.
and the negligence of the defendants
in omitting to keep their road in proper
repair would not have contributed to
produce an injury to the plaintlfl. It
is the disregard _of the requirements
of the statute by the plaintiifs which
constitutes the fault of want of due
care which is fatal to the action.’
There are decisions in which the con-
trary view has been taken. but it
seems to us that the reasoning of the
Supreme court of Massachusetts is
sound and unanswcrable. if people
will have such statutes and will violate
them, let them suffer the consequen-
ces." '

WASHINGTON antics
Articles of Priceless Worth Kept in the
National Museum.
One of the most interesting relics in
the Natimlal museum at Washington is
the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the Revolution. it is a com-
pact affair about the size of a tourist's
Wicker chest for waking of the present
day, 2%. feet long, 2 feet wide, 1 foot
high, and it contains an outfit consist-
ing of tinder box. pepper and salt
boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron
and plates. Every bit of the outfit save
one bottle, which is broken at the
shoulder, looks strong enough to stand
another campaign.
Near by are the tents used by Wash-
ington—three in number. One is a
sleeping tent, 28 feet long, with walls
0 feet high and a roof-with a 6 foot
pitch. it is made of linen. The other
two are marquee tents of smaller size.
one with walls the other a shelter tent
open on the sides. Thht the tenting ma-
terial of Revolutionary days was good
stuff is proved by the excellent condi-
tion of these tents. which sheltered the
great commander through all his se-
vere campaigns.
Here also is Washington's uniform.
worn by him when he gave up his com-
mission as commander-in-chief of the
army, at Annapolis in‘l'lsz. It consists
of a big ,shadbelly coat of blue broad,-
clotb, lined and trimmed with son
buckskin and ornamented: with broad.
iIat brass buttons; buckskin waistcoat
and brooches The also of the garments
(which are in a state of excellent pres-
servation) testify to the big stature of
the Father of His Country and sug-
gest that he had an eye to a fine ap-
pearance in his dress—Washington
oat.
ODD COMPANIONS.
The Kennebec Journal tells of a man
who has a fox and a bound that are
boon companions. When both ani-
mals were in the pup stage, they were
placed together and have now enjoyed
a year of each other's society in peace
and harmony. They sleep together
and play with each other much after
the manner of two frolicsome pups.
The fox has perfect freedom of ac-
tion. coming and going at will, but
he always returns at night to share
the dog's bed.

cuhar her feet—dolly’s feet
you know—she is to have a
good fit.
, But the shoessre to come
readymade—like papa 's and
mamma’s and brother’s and
your shoes too—can we be
sure of fitting dolly?
It has got to be done; it
may take time. Do you
know we fit all shapes of
big folks’s feet, peculiar
feet and tender feet, by hav-
ing shoes made not only to
fit but to suit them. The
very same for dolly. If she
has come or bunions or even
club feet or one club foot
and regular one-mo matter
what the shape or require-
ment or number—dolly must
have two shoes that look
nice and feel comfortable;
and, if there is a dolly in
Bridgeport with only one
foot, she shall have that
foot as properly shod as if
she had two.
Not BridgepOrt alone; all
over both counties. And
they may come by wagon or
rail or street car or walk or
carried in arms—no limit
of age or size or condition
or color-mo geographical
limits.
That Philadelphia man
has a great big heart for
both little girls and their
(lollies! '
But we are obliged to
make a condition ourselves:
Momma or papa or uncle or
aunt or some other grown-
up must come with the kids
——beg pardon, we mean with
the little girls—to take care
of ’em.
We forgot to say how we
shall fit those particular and
troublesome feet: that Phil-
adelphia man is going to
make the particular shoes
to the measures and other
requirements of every ir-
regular foot that comes.
You may like to know
what Vici means. Caesar
once wrote home: "Veni
vidi, vici." A very short
letter but quite satisfactory.
It meant: “We got to where
the rascals were, took a good
look at the ground, pitched
in and licked ’em." Vici
means "pitched in and lick-
ed ’e ." Vici Kid is the
