laid down the principle that a telegraph operator for a railroad company and a lireman on a railroad engine are fellow servants and that tho negligence of the former causing the death of the lat ter in tho operation of trains was a risk tho fireman assumed and was not a ground for damages against the railroad company Tho case was that of Alline A Dixon against tho Northern Pacific railroad company for damages for tho death of her husband C A Dixon a fireman on tho road killed in a collision caused by too negligence oi a telegraph operator The opinion delivered by Justice Brew er answered two questions certified from tho United States court of appeals for tho Eighth circuit as follows First When a local telegraph opera tor is called on specially by a train dis patcher to give information relative to tho arrival of a train at his station to enable the dispatcher to formulate orders for tho movement of other trains does the local operator in tho matter of giv ing such information act as a fellow servant of the train operatives in such sens that the master h not liable to train operatives who a ro injured by obey ing an erroneous order of the dispatcher that was induced by false information given by the local operator The answer to this question is The telegraph operator was under the cir cumstances described a fellow servant of tho fireman Second Is the neeliirpnce of a local telegraph operator and station acent of a railway company in observing and re porting by telegraph to the train dis patcher the movement of trains past his station which caused the injury or death of a fireman of the company without any fault or negligence of the train dispatch er tne negligence of the vice principal for which the company is liable in dam ages to the fireman or his personal rep resentatives or is it the neelicence of a fellow servant of the fireman the risk of which the latter assumes Answer The negligence of the opera tor was the negligence of a fellow ser vant of the fireman the risk of which the latter assumed A dissenting opinion was delivered by Justice White and concurred in by the chief justice and Justices Harlan and McKenna In this dissenting opinion the view was expressed that the operator was the agent of the employer and as such his negligence rendered the employer liable for damages for death caused thereby The opinion was

season oT tho year is to turn from books to nature the source of all knowledge How much better if wo went al ways and only to the fountains head rather than to tho lower stream whose waters from much wauderiut throuuh uonulous reirions be come contaminated Books worthy of tho name are transcripts from nature ineyare uecessarlly abridgement They tell imper fectly but part of the story Art appeal to a single sent e while the thins itself speaks a lanciuiKe that every liber understands We who live in this new and sparsely settled land remote from what we conceive to bo the centers of all learniuK are kivcii to lamenting our lo jt opportunities We too would stroll through galleries crowded with treasures of sculpture and painting We too would visit flliinitrl utfl tw 4 liofn fit l tlwii Iilimt T the east side Of i 11 their Hare of music their famous men ami women we would near the compositions of the masters rendered by tho artists of the operatic stage we would see the character of Shakespeare interpreted by the greatest actors iu the world We would hove access to those va t storehouses of books in which are found the recorded knowledge of the generations that have preceded us The stone images of men that stand motion less and voiceless in the corridors of tlie muse um what are they at best but counterfeits at best are they not imperfect even in form which is the only aspect they attempt to imitate Why is it they seem more wonderful to us than the originals who instinct with life the greatest of mjsteries we seo in our daily walks And tho paintings mere snatches from odd corners caught on the instant and held fast until the colors fade how are they comparable with the landscapes we may view from every hill top the whole world spread out before us changing with the seasons changing with the hours changing with the coming and going of the clouds even with the blowing of the wind If vou would hear music go listen to the wind blow through th trees the water How over the sands the meadow larks sing 111 the fields or on a still October day when hills and valles sleep beneath the lazy sunshine sav if the si lence is not more eloquent than Wagnerian overtures As for Shakespeare why if we must concern ourselves with the affairs of other men should wo not feel deeper interest in the gosip of yesterday than in that of three hundred years ago Whj should not living Americans appeal more strongly to us than dead English kings What do books teach us that we cannot better learn from the things around us Noth ing that is worth the trouble to acquire Noth ing that we cannot learn from natures self Every man is given power to see and know much that he is not permitted to reveal Can woras picture tne green iieuis or repeat the song birds note Stand some evening and watch the setting sun paint the clouds that hang above the western rim of earth If jou aro worthy you will exper ience a thrill of ecstacy You will comprehend tho overwhelming splendors of creation For an instant you may realize the glories or para dise An unseen unknown voice may whisper a question to which jou may believe vou know the answer Perhaps you do Perhaps the light has come to you Jf so be content If not re peat tho question to yourself but to no other man for none can instruct you not even the most learned Not even books will help you For you tho solution is hidden somewhere about the universe perhaps in a budding flower perhaps in some wood birds song per haps in tonights moon rise Rut the secret made yours by patient search and inquiry
