Maine Petitions.
NEW YORK, April "A Washington de-
spatch says that at a meeting of the Senate
committee on commerce the petitions of citi-
zens of Maine, protesting against the obstruc-
ton of navigation in East river, New York,
by the erection of the Brooklyn bridge, were
discussed, and the chairman, Senator Gordon,
was instructed to address letter to the Secre-
tary of War for information as to whether the
company has complied with the act of March
3, 1862 authorizing the construction of the
bridge. 1t is held by the committee to be the
duty of the War department to see that the
bridge company does not violate the law, and
the answers already sent to the House by the
Secretary of War, show that the War depart
has never paid the slightest attention to the
requirements of that act.

editor of the People, and popularity known
as the "Bard." For many years Louis Henri
Reed has been an invalid; but he has never
theless given himself to the study of art
with courage and assiduity that would put
to shame most people who enjoy health and
the luxuries of life. He spent several years
in Europe, visiting the art galleries and in
specting the best works of the old masters;
and as result he has produced a picture
that ranks him among the best artists of the
time.
Holofernes was the chief captain of the
army of the Assyrians, and was sent by
Nebuchodnoser, King of Nineveh, with or
ders to destroy certain cities that re-
fused to recognize his authority. Ap-
pearing with his seemingly invincible
army before the city of Bithulia, which was
situated on high mountain, Holofernes was
advised not to attack the city directly. but
to seize the water fountain, and thus com.
pell the city to surrender. This course he
adopted. Now there lived in Bethulia
widow, Judith, and she was exceeding
beautiful and very pious. This widow sur
passed DR.. Tanner in many respects, FOR she
had been widow for three years and four
months, and she had "fasted all the days of
her widowhood," !" save of course "the ewes of
the new moons and the feasts and solemn
days of the house of Israel" Yet she was
more beautiful than any of her tribe, wiser
than the wisest men and richer than the
richest When the women and children of
the city were dropping with faintness and
the men were ready 10 perish, and nearly
all were clamoring for surrender, Judith
came forward and offered to save
the city. Taking her maid she
went out of the city, and putting off
her widows garments she attired herself in
the apparel which charmed the heart of her
husband. She plated her hair, donned her
jewels, and ornamented and "decked herself
bravely" to allure the eyes of all men that
should see her. She presented herself to
Holoternes, and in proverblal masculine
weakness he was ensmoured by her charms;
his heart was ravished with her. Holofernes
made great feast for Judith, and after in
dulging extensively in wine, Judith was left
alone with Holofernes, he being drunk with
the wine. Then Judith took hold of his fall
chion, and with two strokes severed the head
of Holofernes from his body. Putting the
head into her reticule she stealthily withdrew
from the Assyrian camp, and carried the sew
cred head to despairing Bithulia. The head
of the chieftain was hung upon the highest
rampant; and when the Assyrian army beheld
it next morning they were filed with horror
and fed and thus Birthulia was delivered by
the courage and devotion of woman
Hanging Ovecast of the barren ramI art
by tuft of hair, our artist has sketched the
head and placid face of the unfortunate chief
tain, who met death at the hands of one for
whom he would have sacrificed his own life.
In every feature and expression of the coun-
tenance of this picture may be seen the
traces of masters hand. We wish and
confidently predict for Louis Henri Reed a
brilliant career as an artist. He is young
man of whom indianapolis may justly be
proud.

foil City Derrick

Yesterday afternoon greenish looking
specimen of humanity, evidently fresh from
the harvest fields of Cranberry, strolled into
the Metropoliton drug store. His hair was
long and well bleached by the weather; his
skinny, pimpled face was about the color of
of red cow. He wore a very broad orimmed
twenty-five cent straw hat; Lad on a colored
jean shirt, and over his shoulder single
suspender held IN place pair of dark blue
duck pants, or overalls. His large shoes
were wcrn red, by continuously coming in
contact with the stubble in the hay
field, and were open at the tops and in the
toes, exposing to view a thick pair of home
knit, woolen stockings. The whole make up
was saturated with perspiration, which at
once gave it peculiar odor, and an appear
ance not altogether lovely. With vacant
look he bashfully sidled up to the counter
and accested Will Cowell, who was in attend
ance, with:
"Tve hearn tell bout love powders. Did
you'ns ever hear tell on 'em2"
"Ob, yes" replied Win, "I've frequently
heard of them," at the same time wondering
what in the world the lovely creature before
him could be driving at.
"Wall," continued greeney, reckon as
how you'ns hain't got none on 'em, has ye2"
"Certainly, we keep them constantly in
stock" replied the afable druggist.
"How dew ye sell 'em7"
Twenty cents per box.'
"How many on 'em in box2"
-Four powders in each box"
"Wall, now, amt that rather steep?"
"The component ingredients of the pow
ders, which render them efficacious in over
coming the propensities and passions Of the
opposite sex, placing them wholly in your
power and subservient to your own will, are
vegetable productions from the sun-kissed
shores of Greenland, imported at great ex-
pense; and it must be apparent to you that
the price asked-"ifo-p
"Wall, [ don't keer bout hearin' any more

business Pm willin' to low you tew shillin's,
though reck'n that's tarnal high. But I'm
bound to git even."
'Shall put them up for your"
"Y a-a-s, guess so'
Win then went to his prescription desk
and in a few minutes returned with little
box containing four small powders in papers
"You must be mighty careful" said be-
about giving these. Half of one of those
powders is Dose"
"Never you mind," responded the young
man. "I'n give er 'nough If have to give
'em all at one Dose"
He then fished twenty-five cent silver
piece out of his leather pocket book, placed
| it on the showcase and walked out.
When he had gone Cowell remarked
"That's pretty good price for sugar

Word to school Teachers.

The following paragraph can be read with
profit by every teacher In town and coun-
try. 1t is from the pen of an experienced
teacher:
Never whip or resort to any severe pun
ishment till the day after the offense was
committed. By SO doing you will generally
avoid puRishming at all. You may find
that you were mistaken in the pupil, the act,
or the intent. You will be able to reflect,
and act calmly and justly. Pat yourself in
the pupils place. Remember children are
not vipers or devils, and most of their
troublesome pranks are the outcome, not OF
malicious premeditation, but of fun compa.
ratively innocent-combined with thought
lessness not unreasonable, when their youth
and inexperience are considered. Reforma-
ton can generally be brought about in a
better way than by fogging and scolding.'

SATURDAY EVENINGS PERI oRMANCE
There was small audience present
at the Opera House on Saturday evening
To witness the first presentation i'll this
city of the "Boy Martyrs,"a military
dram, founded upon the battle of North
Point, in 1914.
Itwas we'll that the audience was
small in numbers as the play did not
deserve a larg' audience. If it is dra-
ma, it is one of worst that has ever been
pre- ented Oh the stage here. In fact one
of Buffalo Bill's scalping plays Is fol
more preferable to that of the 'Boy
Martyrs" 1t lacks effect. There is
nothing In 1t to make il go. 1t is de-
void Of characters that require any
ability to fill.
The manner in which the play was
presented on Saturday night, led one tt'
believe very strongly that the company
were making their paris upon the stage,
for at times it dragged TO such dTgree.
and the ats we're so long that person
was tempted to leave the house. Tht
representations of a battle,were the most
