AN aosent-minded Congressman, who
is in the habit of using powerful hair
tonic, forgot it one night not long ago.
After he had put out the light and turn
ed from side to side in futile effort to
court sleep. he suddenly remembered the
tonic, and putting out his hand in the
darkness seized bottle and poured a
plentiful supply on his head, rubbing it
in vigorously with his hands. He fell
asleep, and did not know until he saw
his discolored hands in the morning that
he had used ink instead of the hair wash.
This led him to look In the mirror, and
he was shocked to see the spectacle he
presented with ink-stained brow, dyed
hair and cheeks and throat on which the
black fluid had dripped. He has nearly
rubbed all the hair and skin off his head
and face since, but still traces of the
smndge remain.

GERMANY has spent all the indemnity
money paid her by France, and is so
deeply in debt that all the federal States
are called upon to make good the def
cheney in her income, which amounts to
more than twelve million dollars for the
last year alone, and is swelled by the
deficit of the previous year. Prussia
with deficiency on her own budget of
near nine million, has to raise nearly
twelve million for the support of the
imperial government.

action in the case of man who went to
the front when the war began and
emerged at the close the greatest of its

usually on the side of the other kind of

REQUIREMENT

REQUIREMENT.
We live by Faith; but Faith is not the
slave
OF text and legend. Reasons voice
and Gods,
Natures and Duty's, never are at Odds
What asks our Father of his children
save
Justice and mercy and humility,
A reasonable service of good deeds,
Pure living, tenderness to human
needs,
Reverence ond trust, and prayer for
light to see
The Masters footprints in our daily
ways?-
No knOtted scourge, nor sacrifcial
knife,
But the calm beauty of an ordered
life
Whose very breathing is unworded
A life that stands, as all true lives
have stood,
Fast rooted in the faith that God is
Good?
Dream not, o SOUL that easy is the task
Thus set before thee. If it proves at
length,
As well it may, beyond thy natural
strength,
Doubt not, despair not. AS child may
ask
A father, pray the Everlasting God
For light and guidance midst the
subtle snares
Of sin, thick planted in life's thor
oughfares,
For spiritual nerve and moral har-
dihoOd.
Still listening midst the noises round
about
OF time and sense, the inward speak
Word,
Bitter in blame, sweet in approval
heard,
Piercing the tumult of the world with
out;
To health of soul voice to cheer and
please,
To guilt the wrath of the Eumenidesl
UTTERANCE.
But what avail inadequate words to
touch
The lnnermoSt of Truth? Shall L
essay,
Blinded and weak, to point and lead
the way,
Or grasp theme for angels Overmuch?
Yet if it be that something not my
own,
Some shadow of the thought to which
ovr schemes,
And creeds and rituals are uncertain
dreams,
Is ever to my unworthiness made
known,
may not hide what yet scarcely dare
to utter, lest on doubtful lips of mine
The real seem false, the fitness less
divine.
So through the pauses of an inward
prayer
| own the faith which seems the
simple truth
At evening times, as in the dawn of
youth.

graphic news in the Courier-Journai
yesterday:
NASHVILLE. October 6.-The
grand jury have had witnesses before
them for the past two days in the
Barrett bribery case. Startling de-
velopments are expected soon. Letters
we're shown tonight which will be
strong evidence against Barrett.
They show that certain parties here
put up considerable money in the
way of stocks for him as an induce
ment to vote for the one hundred and
three bill to settle the State debt. 1t
is rumored to night that Barry has
threatened to turn States evidence if
he is indicted. Some mighty interest
ing reading is expected in a short
time. The Low Takers m in for 1t,
too. A certain druggist in this city
has a prescription for certain mem
bers Of the Low Tax party, to be used
in druggiag Barrett, to prevent his
voting for the one hundred and three
bill. The plan failed. 1t is said
that the West Tennessee Chairman OF
the Low Tax party knows something
about this"
Viewing the rumor referred to in
the foregoing dispatch, that Barrett
contenplates turning States evidence
in case Of his indictment, in the light
of a statement made by gentleman
to a World reporter, that Barrett
remarked a few weeks ago should
occasion occur she could make some
revelations himself" and that if he
went to jail he would have fine com
pany;;" it seems not improbable that it
is we'll grounded.
As to the oth5r rumor, concerning
the attempt to drug Barrett to prevcnt
his voting in favor Of the bill to settle
the State debt, we understand the
prescription is still in existence.
Some racy developments may be
expected concerning the methods used
by spectators and others in their
attempts to six their men," The
public looks forward with expectant
interest to the time when the facts
now being unearthed shall be pub
lished and its curiosity satisfied.
