A live cripple lii worth mnrf than a per

cheaper to kill a man than to crlppls him.
Bo say the court and the Juries, the statu
tory limit of dnmagea that may be col
lected for death being $10,000. while there
la no limit to the damagea which a jury
may assess for a personal Injury
Putting It even more forcibly, a man
crippled and Injured In twenty-two differ
ent parts of the body Is worth legally and
In dollars and cents Just S24A.230. as against
dead man appraised at 110.000. This Is
rather a cold-blooded way of putting It, but
awards that have been made for various
parts of the crippled yet living body prove
that la the truth.

But suppose that your memory has been
Impaired by a violent blow on the head,
due to a fall from a car that had been
started before your foot had left the plat

wife $11,000 to compensate her for the

If It were possible for a man to sustain
all of these damages. 'and some men hava
nearly run that gamut, he should recover I
the total of nearly' a quarter of a million
dollars. The man who could sustain all of j
these Injuries would certainly be almost a
physical wreck. Although a mere "beg of I
bones" In a literal sense, he would be
wealthy,, but probably full of "pain and
suffering" for the rest of bis life.
Sometimes ' mere "pain and suffering" j
brings an award of $7,000 In damages, and
a Texas court In the case of the Oulf Rail
road Company against Cheltan awarded a
sum of $36,000 for physical disabilities.
Speaking of getting rich by getting Injured
suggests that If a man, while young, could
begin to sustain the list of Injuries given
In the table and recover at various periods,
all antedating the : next Injury, he might
live to enjoy ..the . fruits of his strangely
acquired fortune. That would be making
money out of humanity, 'with a vengeance.
The world could certainly be said to have
"owed such a man a living."
Yet if this man had been killed by the
first accident his next of kin would have
been lucky if they had obtained a verdict
of $10,000, the ultimate that the law per
mits to be collected tor a life. Even the
memory is rated at more than life. In the
case of Stewart against the , Long Island
railway, the skull of a young woman wns
fractured In an accident. The Jury de
cided that It was due to the negligence of
the employes and for the loss of memory
that resulted from the Injury, which ex
perts thought might be permanent, she
was awarded $18,000 and the court of final
review considered that the verdict waa not
excessive. This phase of the worth of a
live man's crippled body, adjudged from
the damage to the different parts, presents
a curious study in Jurisprudence.
A man's eyesight, for Instance, has not
oeen deemed as valuable as hia memory.
In a Minnesota case, a man whose right
eye had been made wholly blind by dam
age sustained in a wreck and whose left
eye was declared by expert testimony, to
be nine-tenths damaged, collected $14,000.
In some states the value of the eyea differ.
Illinois eyes only brought $9,000, and both
were rendered totally blind. In Texas,
total blindness as the result of a railway
accident, received a reward of $7,600.
Broken noses came rather low in the
scale of values. Not only was the nose of
a man named Crockett mashed flat, but
hia teeth were knocked out, yet a Texas
jury only gave him solace of $330. The
verdict probably waa reached by compro
mise. It Is a serious thing to break
man's Jaw, when it Is done In California.
One Boyce sued the California Stage com
pany for breaking his Jaw and dislocating
nia snoumer oiaae. Aitnougn Hoyce was a
laborer, the Jury gave him $1,600. A man's
shoulder was Judicially valued at $7,500 by
a Colorado court. A young woman's arm
broken In a New Tork rllway accident
nrougnt a collection er iw.ooo. The arm
could not be straightened out aud was In
capaoie or perTeci movement. An arm
brought $15,000 In an Illinois court, because
the loss of the arm was coupled with in
tense suffering on the part of the man who
had lost It.
A Texas railroad man, who proved that
but for the loss of an arm he would have
been promoted, received $14,000. The Juries
seem to take Into consideration the effect
a man's Injuries are likely to have on his
earning capacity. An Injury to the wrist
which caused a New Tork man to keep
his hand In a plaster cant for five weeks
was valued at $1,380. but an Iowa man
whose hand was Injured in a railroad wreck
recovered $11,000. He waa regularly em
ployed at the time of the accident and. a!
though hia salary waa only $640 a year, he
was In line for regular promotion.

Injuries to tne heart may be physical as
well as sentimental. A California man, who
was so mashed In a wreck that he con
tracted heart disease, was awarded $2,000
damagea The plaintiff, Storrs, was 75
years of age, but ha was la good baaitlt
before the accident. He also had extensive
business Internets, which suffered by rea
son of the injury to his health. Two dif
ferent Texas courts have aasessed Injuries
to the spine at $30 ono. This award, made
first la the case of one Nass against a
railroad company, seemed to establish a
precedent, for the same award was made
later In the eaa of Coots against a tele
graph company.

nervous system, so that he was not able
to look after his patients. He collected
$16,000 from the District of Columbia. The
legal value of a fractured rib has been
placed at $5,0U0. A man named Clark re
ceived twice that sum from the Brooklyn
Heights Railway company for two broken
ribs and consequent pleurisy and nervous
tremors.
When we get into the list of hips and
legs the damages mount very rapidly. An
Alabama court awarded one Crowder $15,
000 for a fractured hip Joint. A pilot who
sustained a broken thigh while taking a
trolley trip In New York waa given $10,000.
The court of review declared that the ver
dict was within reason. But out In Iowa
a man who hadhla thigh broken in two
places only collected $7,000. Partial paraly
sis and permanent disablement of a leg
brought $30.(00 In the shape of a verdict
from a sympathetic Jury. The plaintiff was
a business man, 36 years of age, who was
unable to walk for three years, and after
ten years his leg had only one-fourth Its
power. A Wisconsin Jury paid the same
sum to a man named Heddes, who had
both his lrgs amputated as the result of a
railway accident. A commercial traveler
collected K.tfO from a company that
smashed one of his knees. The drummer
had been earning $100 a month and his
earning capacity had been Impaired.
Vagaries of Janes,
One Texas man, who earned $2.10 a day,
suffered the smashing of one of his ankles
and he collected $4,000, although It waa
stated that he would not be able to earn
the same amount again In his lifetime, and
the same amount waa collected by a young
woman for fractures of the ankle and foot.
A foot, however. Is worth more than an
ankle. A railway engineer named Ashley,
whose foot was so badly mashed that It
was smputated, collected a verdict of $1..
000 from a railway company. The Jury may

have taken his earning capacity Into con

A big toe was officially placed at $2,900
by a Chicago Jury, in a very odd personal
damage tult. A South Bide man named
Stanley went to a chiropodist, but the
treatment was fatal to Stanley's big toe.
The Jury defied the Jokes of the defend
ant's counsel and brought In the verdict.
The step from ties to "physical wrecks"
Is a long one, and It Is a wide one In the
amounts of damages that Juries have al
lowed. For Instance, In Texas and Minne
sota, the verdicts have been widely apart.
A Texas Jury gave a man in this condition
$10,000, while the northern Jury permitted
the victim, almost a helpless cripple, to
collect $26,000. Dr. Shelton, another Texas
plaintiff, was given a verdict of $16,000
against a railroad company that had left
him a helpless cripple.
I5ss of services of a minor has an es
tablished value In' the minds of Jurymen.
In the case of one minor son who was so
seriously injured that he could not work
for nineteen months the Jury gave the
parent $1,027, which was less than $56 a
month, although the testimony showed that
the young man was earning PV a month.
A man 46 years of age, who was earning $80
to $'J0 a rronth was so hadly hurt that he
was unable to earn anything. He obtained
a verdict of $16,500 agalnBt a Chicago street
car company.
"pDin nnH aiifferln" has hMn aonralsed !
at $7,0f0 liy an Iowa court, which awarded
that amount to a child who was Injured In
a! railway wreck. One Texas Jury made a
railway company pay $-.020 for "injured
feelings," In the case of a woman passenger
who had a row with the conductor over
her tick?t. The official did not think the
ticket was properly signed and threatened
to put the passenger off the train unless
she put up her watch and chain as security
for her fare. Nothing is said In the report
as to what the railway company did to the
conductor.
Po.hlns; a Lame Job.
If a man could have nil these things
happen to him and keep all the suits that
were necessary going at the same time, he
probably would collect at least a $-'50,000,
but In the natural course of court grind he
probably would be aa old as Methuseleh
before he collected the last of them, and
then ready to die. Although It may not
be ethical for lawyers to take these per
sonal damage suits on a contingent fee.
most of them follow this rule. Many times
they take half the sum allowed by the
verdict, and when the verdicts run as high
aa $15.0iv and $:).nn0. It does not take long
for a lawyer to make a large Income.
Securing a large verdict In a personal
Injury case Is not always the chief aim of
the lawyer. It Is not a difficult thing to
work on the sympathies of s Jury and get
heavy damages against a corporation. The
attorney who takes this kind of case must
ke-p the higher courts In mind all the
time. The point of view of thee upper
courts Is such that sentiment Is lost in the
pure legal reasoning. Ths attorney must
guard against errors snd watch himself at
every stp of the procedure that the clever
oppoelng counsel do not find a flaw upon
which to ask for a retrial.
Aside from the Interesting histories of
personal damage cases, the valuations that
have been placed on different parts of a
human being's anatomy are amusing, even
though the cases are Indeed serious to the
victims and their families. Yet, despite
the wide diversity In ths values that have
been placed on ths different members of
the living victim's body, the way la which
they range Is remarkably sound, since If
you take the damage that was assessed
for loss of memory at $18,000 as against
thut given for a foot, or the amount given
for a cplne as contrasted with that awarded
for a hand, the verdicts seem to accord
with the usefulness of the members and
the extent of the Injury as It affects the
general healths of the victims. SL Louis

We have today 80,000,000 of people, oc
cupying 3,000,000 square miles of territory,
and they own $i;o.000,000,000 of wealth. On
farms valued at $J5,00).000,000 we produce
annually agricultural products valued at $S,
000,000,0u0. It Is nothing that we produce
annually 2,500,000,000 bushels of corn and
11,000,000 bales of cotton, If there is no da
mand for corn and cotton and If the de
mand is not a fair return. But we have
the market. Our 5,500,000 of people who
produce $16.000,ooo,onoo of manufacturer pro
ducts annually, and receive In wages $J30,
000,000, make the market. These figures
apply only to finished product. We get
the products to the consumer by 250,00
miles of railroad, which is three times the
railroad mileage of Great Britain, Franco,
and Germany combined. When side trackt
are taken into account, we have more -all-road
mileage than all the rest of the world.
On these railroads we have 100,000 englnis,
carrying millions of cars and hauling 2.00-),-0()0,fl00
tons of freight. This practically
equals all the tor.nage carried by all tha
railroads and ships of all the rest of the
world. This monstrous task Is performed
by 6.500,000 of employes who ate yearly
paid $2,300,000,000. and this vast business is
cenductt'd by $160,000,000,000 of bank clear
ances. Do we prosper? Only two decades
ago we were second to Great Britain In
the output of iron and steel. Today our
output equals ail the rest of the world. We
live well and have happy homes, filled
with comforts and luxuries. Yet we are a
saving people. We have In savings hanks
$3,600,000,000, in national banks $4 ,500,000. uoo,
and In state banks $f,000.000,0ii0 In all, $13.
000,000,000. The per capita of money In tho
country Is larger than In any other save
one, France; and amounts to $35 for each
of our 80,000.000 people. The business of the
country amounts to over $3,000,000,000 an
nually. How do we do such a monstnmis
business which Is also profitable? It Is

and the other nations of the globe have
