Helen, did you notice In The Be that Bessie C Is to marry Harold 3 . There la quit a little romance connected with this. A few years ago Miss C went with a party to Lake Manawa.

Sh had been sailing In one of the yachts and had afterwards gene over to the amusment aide of the lake where she had spent some time on tne roller coaster and at the pavilion. The returning car was very crowded. When they got to Farnam street no car was In sight so they walked up the street tnd were near Sixteenth when a park car croaaed Farnam and as It was late they hurried to catch It. Of course she was at a loss to known where she lost It as sh bad been kept on the go all evening. The following day she innerted an ad In The Bee. Several days later a young man 'phoned that ha had found a pin In front of the Henshaw hotel and on dtscrlb Ing It she knew that It belonged to her. She gave him her name and addrens and aaked him to aend It to her by meaaager. However, he' decided to act as his own messenger and accordingly brought it to her.

SUPREME COURT SYLLABI 15705. Skallberg against Skallberg. Appeal from Phelps. Appeal dismissed. Dean, J 1. An appeal will be dismissed where the record does not disclose the rendition of a final order or Judgment. 2. A Judgment awarding partition and ap portlonment of shares to the respective parties is not a final order of Judgment in. m which an appeal may be prosecuted. ' $. Where an appeal In partition Is prose cuted to this court before the trial court has acted upon the report of the referees, sivh appeal will be dismissed. 15719. Modlln against C. L. Jones & Co. Appeal from Adams. Affirmed. iteese, C. J. 1. In an action for damages for personal Injuries caused by the breaking and falling of til elevator upon which plaintiff was being carried in the performance of labor on behalf of his employer, the pleading set out in the opinion held to embrace the ques tlon of negligence on the part of too em ployer In the matter of appliances provided, or the want thereof, for the safety of per sons using the elevator In the course of tht employment. 2. All questions of fact and the weight of the testlrponv r witnesses ar under pr per li structlons of the court, for the considera tion ol tne Jury hearing the case on trial. 8. Although a witness may be contradi te 1 by other witnesses, even of a greater num ber, yet the testimony of such witness U for tha consideration of the Jury and the receipt thereof is not erroneous nor can the court say that the Jury should Ignore It, 4. Where a witness has been permitted to testify to Immaterial facts and his testi mony throws no light upon any controlling question Involved it will not require a re versal of the Judgment where it clearly ap pears that the testimony given could ha.e no effect upon the final derision of th.; case and could work no prejudice to the losing party. 6. Plaintiff testified that Immediately up .n the occurrence of the accident a aon of the owner of the property where the acciden: happened remarked to such owner, a d..- 1 fendiint In the suit, "If you had fixed thU when I wanted you to, this wouldn't have happened,'' and defendant "scowled and , shook his head, ' but said nothing, tne evl- dence was not objectionable and was for : the consideration of the Jury, although denied by both father and son on the wit i ness stand, the Jury being the Judges of j the credibility of the witnesses. 6. There la no fixed rule aa to what pre I vlous training or experience Is necessary to ' qualify one as an expert witness. The que I tlon as to his competency to testify la. primarily, for the court upon objection being made. If no general objection Is made to the competency of the witness his tisti ' ninny goes to the Jury, who must be the j sole Judges of Its weight. I 7. In the closing argument of counsel for plaintiff he staled hia claims as to the rule to be applied In the measurement of dam- ayes and to which counsel for defendan's objected as being a misstatement of law. The objection was overruled, the ooun stat ing that Ihe Jury w ould be Instruct d a to the measure of damages. An instruct. 'Hi upon the subject was given. The veidlcl showed thut the Jury were not Influenced by the contention of o'ini-il. 11.1.1. thai such contention, even if improper, did njt vitiate the verdict. fc. V h'ire interrogatories requiring special findings were siihtuUt.d to tie j-iry and their ansvera w ere not In onsisient v.

The defendant l.avlng failed to prove or offer to pro e anv affirmative defence to an action under s.ild statute, save and ixcept that a to Its delav in forwarding one carload of stock. It did so In deference to the Mntute prohibiting the operation of trains on Sundiiv, end defendant having been given bv this court the benefit of stttd defense. It Is unnecessary to determine whether the statute precluded any other defense In said action. 8 The leulslsiure nisv rirovlde bv cen- eral law that a shipper of live stock may recover liquidated damages from a publ'e arrn r for failure to transport such stock cotnmltteed to the carrier for transit be tween stations In Nebraska. 4. Section 4 of ar.lcle 1 of th consti tution does not prohibit the leglslatuie from Increasing the common law liability of common carriers, and In rasa the legis lature expands such liability, the courts will not declare the statute void on the complaint of the carrier, because In some hypothetical case the law. If applied, might wins. i m'" tc-su-. iititnxr ni a inpiM r. 6. The statute does not Interfere, with or regulate Interstate commerce. . N here the evldonee disclosed without dispute that as to one cause of action the delay was occasioned by unloading the stock for feed, water and rest at the feed ing pens of defendant at a division point, and that to have continued the shipment to the point of destination would have probably compelled the carrier to have operated Its trains on Sunday and hava resulted In the delivery of said stock on the Sabbath, a Judgment based on said count in the petition will be reversed. 15277. I arter ncalnst A. I. Root. Inc. Appeal from Douglns, Revetted with In structions. Epperson, C. Commissioner's department. 1. A builder s contract provided for the construction of a building under the di rection of an architect as the agent of the owner, and further provided that no alterations should be made In the work as described by the planB and specifications rxcept upon the written order of the ar chitect, and flint extra work would bd paid for only when the price had been agreed upon and affixed to the order given by tho architect In writing and count-rslgnd by the owner previous to the performance of the same. Held, that tho architect alone could not by verh.il agreement waive this provision of the contract. 2. A clause In a builder's contract nro- vldlng for a written demand by the builder for additional time to complete the building Is legal, but may b waived by the owner entering Into supplemental contracts ror extras which reou rn ad ditional time for the completion of the ouiiaing. 8. I'nless otherwise provided In the con tract a builder Is not entitled lo additional tltno because he has been delayed In the construction of a building by ordinary rains, for such might reasonably have ' been contemplated at the time the con tract was made: nor la he entitled to ad ditional time for delays caused by accl- ueius, or unexpected conditions against w hlch he could have provided In his con tract. 15281. Landls A- Schick mrnlnnt Wall Appeal from Seward. On rehearing re versed and remanded. Fawcelt. J.; Root, J., dissenting; Letton, J concurs In dis sent. 1. The rule announced In Hamblln against Plate, 115 N. W. 850, that "tw propounding hypothetical questions to expert witnesses It Is allowable for each party to the con troversy to submit such questions upon the theory of the ease contended for by the side propounding them." does not mean that a party propounding hypothet ical questions may do so upon a theory at variance with testimony which he him self has given, either in person or through other witnesses whom he has previously Introduced. 2. In such a case the questions must be so framed as to fairly reflect the party's theory as shown by tho tacts admitted or proved by him. 3. And where the party's own evidence corroborates evidence which has been In troduced by the other party to the action, such questions should fairly reflect all of the facts so admitted or proved by both sides. l:.6i4.

"Forfeitures are looked upon bv the courts with ill favor, and will be enforced only when the strict letter of the contract requires It. and this rule applies with full force to policies of Insurance." Connecticut Fire Insurunce company against Jeary, 60 Neb. 33S. 2. "A clause stipulating for a forfeiture of a contract should not be aided or given effect by construction in a case where tho plain meaning of the language used does not require it." Jensen against Palatine Insurance company, 116 N. W. 2;. 3. It has become a settled rule In the construction of contracts of Insurance Wat policies of insurance will be liberally con strued to uphold the contract, and condi tions contained in thorn which create for feitures will be construed most strongly aitalnst the Insurer and will never be ex tended beyond the strict words of the policy. 4. A policy of life Insurance Is not a con tract of asHiiiance for a single year, with a privilege of renewal from year to year by paying the annual premium. It la an entire contract of Insurance for life, sub ject, when so stipulated, to discontinuance and forfeiture for nonpayment of any In stallments of premium. Such Installments of premium are not Intended as the con sideration for the respective years In which they are paid, bul each Installment Is la fact part consideration of the enllre Insur ance for life. 6. A life Insurance polloy, when once It takes effect by payment of the first year's premium and delivery of tha policy, does not terminate at the end of the year, but It Is a contract for the life of tha assured. If the policy contains no provision for a forfeiture thereof by reason of a failure of the assured to pay subsequent premiums annually, a failure to pay such premium. " l" "ay iiamea will not constitute a forfeiture of such policy. All that the. company can demand In such case Is th"l right to set off against the amount i Indemnity It has bound itself to pay, tha amount of the premium remaining unpaid with Interest thereon.
