In the case of the Nickel Plate railway versus Frank Shaffer, on appeal from the circuit court of Huron county, involving the "black list," the supreme court sustains the railroad company.

He claimed that he could not secure employment on any other road because the company refused to give him a certificate of service and he sued for damages. The judgment of the circuit court in favor of Shaffer was reversed by the supreme court The ruling of the supreme court is: "A master is under no legal obligation to give his discharged servant a statement of his services and whether or not it was satisfactory," and the servant can get no damages "although he may have been unable to obtain other employment in consequence of sue refusal by the company. "It is the right of every person, natural or artificial, to employ or refuse to employ in his business whomsoever he may wish, and he cannot be called upon to answer for his judgment in that regard by the public or individuals, nor can the motives which prompt his action be considered.

Mr. and Mrs. Cook and their infant child occupied the front room and Mr. and Mrs. Turner and their four children occupied the rear room. Turner was absent and two young men were calling on the daughter. To entertain them she played "Sweet Evalina" on the French harp and her mother sang the words. This disturbed the Cooks and they soon started a fight. The girl dropped the harp and picked up an ax, and each of the others got a club. As there was not sufficient room In the house to fight all went out into the yard.

SITUATION IS UNCHANGED Matters in Commercial Circles About the Same as Last Week. New York, Jan. 25. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says today: Little of a novel nature has developed in the business or financial situation during the past week. Conditions of the preceding week were accentuated as a rule, active manufacturing plants becoming still more busily engaged, while the downward tendency of prices was not checked. Retall trade is of great volume, and jobbers have immense spring orders to fill. Western cities send the most satisfactory returns, but nearly all sections are enjoying wholesome activity, even the south-showing evidence of Improvement. Conditions in the Iron and steel industry are shown by record-breaking production at" many plants and rapid Increase of facilities at others. When orders for rails cannot be taken because delivery is desired before the last quarter of the year it would seem that new figures of output were assured for 1Ö02. Structural miils are equally well occupied, having contracts for office buildings, factories, bridges, track elevation and other constructive work. Textile markets are quiet. Raw wool is stregnthened by the higher prices secured at the London sale: Footwear holds firmly to the advance. Staple product markets hesitate. Failures for the week numbered 301 In the United States, against 30G last year, and 28 In Canada, agaisnt 40 last year.

KJDßJö) Does your horse "feel his oats"? What a difference between the grain-fed and the rass-fed horse! The first strong and full of ginger, the second flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The teecling makes the difference. Children are not alike cither. One is rosy, bright-eyed, full )f life and laughter, another is oalc, weak and dull. The feedng again is responsible. Sickly children need special reeding. They don't "feel their oats". Scott s Emulsion adds iust the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones. It makes children grow. Scott's Emulsion makes ordi nary food do its duty. This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle.

OflCE IS ENOUGH TO SEE Gustave Dore's portrait of Dante is worth seeing once. But once X3 enough. Some such look you notice on the faces of thosa who have suffered, and still suffer, much physical pain; people subject to rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumbago, or pain from some old lesion. This painhabit puts its marks on them, as the custom of handling ropes crooks a sailor's fingers ; or as too much riding of a bicycle stamps a worried expression on certain faces. No wonder people said of the Italian poet as he passed along, "There goes THE MAM WHO NEVER LAUGHS." The complaints above named all yield to the action of Benson's Porous Plasters, and quickly too. Not only those, but colds and coughs, kidney and liver affections, all congestions and muscular strains, diseases of the chest, asthma and all ailments which are open to external treatment It is frequently said that Benson's Plaster is Paini Master. It cures when others are not even able to relieve. For thirty years the leading external remedy. The old-style plasters, as well as salves, liniments, oüs. etc, have little or no efficacy as compared with it. Use it. Trust it. Keep it in th house. Ask for Benson's Plaster ; take no other.
