OUR correspondent, G. T. A., furnish

in regard to the mineral resources of

of his experience as a surveyor and
his long residence in the county, he
was able to do exceedingly well.

their money in railroad to be built

A special to the World from GalIat1n da-
ted Jan. 28th is either an ingenious fabri-
cation, or relates a very remarkable occur
ance. The minuteness with which the cir
cumstances are detailed would seem to ar
que the truth of the story. 1t states that
wild beast, supposed to be "mountain
lion" whatever that is, has been terroriz-
ing the city of Gallatin and adjoining coun-
try for some time past. The monster inhab-
tied a cave and made nightly depredations
"killing large number of dogs, sheep and
calves In the outer edge ofGallatin and tear
ing little colored boy that lived on Baptist
hill" After several armed expeditions
against this enemy of public peace in which
one man broke his leg running from the
animal, it was finally shot and killed at
IL o'clock at night by Mr.. VIII Tyree. 1t
was placed ON exhibition at saloon and is
as bearing "every likeness of a
lion, long, shaggy name, mammoth mouth
and weighs one hundred and nfth-seven
pounds, being very poor from starvation"

CHRIST TO THE sKEpT1C.

marvel not that in these doubling days
Thewolia grows faithless as its faith grows
And that the lips Of man have ceased to praise
wFiS Ths tale e oaiya5y wonSrous nd and old
Told with the prattle OF the eventide
As fabled story of the days of Rome,
Where Bratus plotted and where Cesar died,
Where men were slain to crown the civic feasts
And Christian martyrs bathed with the beasts.
Twas not alone for these. but such as thee,
l scattered miracles and mercies wide,
Stilling the troubled tempest-smitten sea
To walk the waters of the conquered tide,
TO To- laugh the the d old bystorias Guard to scorn.
When traitor Judas, pushing back ny hair.
Bestowed the kiss that sent me to- my doom,
About my face the balmy Summer air
Pressedwith the closeness of q charne l-room,
And brought the anguish of a keeper loss
Than when the soldiers nailed me to the cross.
Asked for the marks the Jagged nails had
made,
Pressing the wounds fresh planted by the
spear,
And then accepted trembling and dismasyea,
u brought to me a sorrow more profound
Than when my brow with plated thorns was
crQWned,
! ask not tnak the seas snail mourn Tor me
Or armies leap to battle al my name
Tina wasted worshipers shall bend the knee
Or surplieed singers swing the lamps Of
1ane
A wanderer sheltered or a beggar fed
We're worth unnumbered rsauiems for the
dead;
While those who mouth my ritual for gain
And frame their studied praises for mine ear
Bring more contempt and FOLLY to the fame
Than honest skeptics, doubling but sincere
Did not know these grovelegs Of yore,
WAo lasAed them howl;ng frFm the Te@ple's a
Goory
For rwhen walked the earth where | was slain
I knew the miscries that racked mankind,
The pulse of passion and the throb Of pain,
The cares that torture and perploX the mind
knew the anguish Of soul that grioves,
The blows, the mob, the railing of the thieves
But when, triumphant from the grave release,
Thou mak'st The victory of life complete,
Thou shalt receive with my free kiss of peace
The Masters pardon from the mercy seat:
For when the soldiers scourged me on the hill
! then was man with man, and am so still.

In recent issue of daily paper
appeared the following unique adver-
tisement
WANTED-A BRIGHT BOY, WITH
w good recommendation from former
employer; red-haired preferred. Inquire at.
This advertisement caught the eYs
of a Tribune reporter, and he wondered
what particular business could de.
mand the services of an auburn,haired
youth, Possibly he was wanted to
illuminate a SNOWY window or to warm
q small office, but the reporter could
ayyiye at no satisfactory conclusion,
Finally, he resolved to go to the place
and find out, So he called ut the mum,
Der indicated, Itwas over the door of
State street hair store, and when the
reporter saw tho business sign his
thoughts recurred to "The Rape of the
Lock-" and he believed ne had struck
a place where red,headed boys were
hired and induced afterward to part
with their hirsute crop in the Interest
of auburn. haired beauties whose crop
of hair had failed. Approaching the
proprietor Of the place-a hald,headed
man-the reporter expressed his curl
Qsity at the advertisement he had seen,
and asked if he might learn the par.
ticplar desirahllity OF red.headed 6oys
in that business.
swell, SIR" said the man, with
smile, 81 have always found that red,
headed boys are the smartest and most
energetic. They are proud, respectful
and do not cut up like the ordinary
errand boys"
"And you think Is is due to the hue
of their hairs"
!" That has been my experience, and
l have no doubt that If people would
notice the fact they would think as !
do. In my factorythe majority Of the
girls have red hair, and they go about
their work industriously and indulge
in no foolishness.'
This little argument iA favor of the
red haired people should haze Its
effect, and hereafter the warM,headed
man or woman should always have
employment,

peare and so is Milton-although Milton sometimes
uses vast words, and finds them bursting with the
fullness of the thought.
blacksmith who went to hear Webster speak, said
"every word was sedge hammer" and he used Sax
1t is safe rule to always the shortest word
to express your meaning Short words pierce-though
large one may penetrate.
The curiosities language berless and will
repay study. When clock goes too quickly call
1t fast, and If you want to stop STILL you say
'hod fast Men fast when they eat nothing, and eat
fast afterwards. Fast often loose, and lose
their money fast.
Post Office and post haste and posting books, seem
more contradictory than they are for they all are
from postum placed.
There several theories Of the origin oflanguage
that may be mentioned. The Initiative, the Instinct
i've and the Development theories.
The Development theory makes all language purely
and simply human invention, and the argument in
support of that is that the growth and building of
languages be traced back to very crude begin
nings. But Religions have grown well as Ian
guages and shall therefore say that Religion is all
ofhuman invention?
The Imitation theory supposes man to have made
words which by their sound would initiate the thing
as the beating of a drum, drum, drum; the boom of
the cannon; the roar of the ocean; the signing OF
breezes and zephyrs, and the wind; what word
whizzes through the air like whips? Then the buzz
of bee; slap, splash the rumble of thunder, the
twitter birds and the bubbing cry of strong
swimmer in his agony.
The Development theory is indicated by Its name
and makes language all human.
Why may not all three be partly true-that words
gift, men used them instinctively, then added
to the parent stock by imitation and development
When Creator wished men to know his will, he
put it into words and the hard granite on which
Moses wrote the Ten Commandments has ages since
been dust, the words still live, will live forever
All words viii. Science that every word we
throw into the of air makes abiding impression
That pulsations of air set in motion
Its travel around the EARTH The air itself is
vast library wherein is written in eternal sound
all that has spoken. Not word that falls from
lips into the air will ever die, until the atmos
phere that wraps our globe shall pass away and the
heavens be more. So that all about floating
the vulgar jest the wicked curse, the gentle prayer
the triumphant song and all the eloquence and cries
of ages. What phonograph! Is that the Book of
Gods Remembrance? AS surrounded with
the voices of the past and words then have being of
their own, they live after their makers dead.
Then what an awful responsibility is speech.
Words Mighty words are living;
Serpents-wfth their venemous stings,
Or bright angels crowding 'roundus,
With heavens light upon their wings;
Every word has its spirit
True false-that never dies.
Every word mans lips have uttered
Echoes in Gods skies.

To the Editors of the Standard:
Old residents of Jackson County
and especially those living near the
towns of Jackson and Coalton will
remember Joshua Perrin, who, few
years ago, sold the farm on which
Morgantown is now situated, and
moved to Nebraska.
I had the pleasure of spending a
part of the holidays at his pleasant
home, and thinking his old neighbors
would be pleased to hear how he is
situated out here, I take the liberty to
make few statements. Mr.. Perrin S
farm is situated twelve mile south of
Lincoln, the capital Of the State, and
as all the roads out here are good, tnat
distance can be driven easily in two
hours.
His farm consists of 320 acres Of
excellent farming land, clear running
water, several never failing springs,
and some native timber. This land,
eight years ago, cost Mr.. Perrin 1926
per acre. 1t will now bring $40 per
acre. Mr.. Perrin's family have en-
joyed excellent health since they have
been in this State. Mrs. Perrin looks
ten years younger than she did when
they left Ohio. Her father is still
living with them at the advanced age
Of 95 years. Clara, their only daugh-
ter, married an intelligent, enterpris-
ing farmer, and is doing well. Will
lam, their Oldest son, is in the Fresh
man class in the State University,
and expects to complete the course.
Their remaining FOUR boys are at
home attending school. Financially,
Mr.. Perrin is at least $1,000 better
off today than he was when he left
Jackson Co., Ohio.
In company with VIM. Perrin l
visited the State Capital, University,
U. S. Court house, and State Prison.
There are 247 convicts in the Peni-
tentairy, only one of whom is a
woman. Manufacturers and Con-
tractors employ most of the convicts.
The stone for the Central building Of
the Capitol is being dressed in the
Penitentiary, and hauled by convicts
to the city. Clothing, trunks, har-
ness, cornshellers, implements,
brooms and car wheels are manufac-
tured in the prison,
I am sorry whisky and Kentucky
blood have given Jackson County
such a bad name. But as long as the
law is as rigidly enforced as it has
been in the past, there is hope for the
future.
Yours Truly,
D.. ]. REYNIsH.

An Egyptian Custom.

1t is stated that the ancient Egyp-
tians when they feasted always had a
skeleton at the table with them. This
was for the purpose Of reminding
them that even in the midst of mirth
and revelry death was apt to come.
Let him come when he will and he is
unwelcome. The Egyptians sought
to teach that all should prepare for
the grim monster and be ready to
follow him, let him call when he
would. The lesson can we'll be re-
membered to-day. All should live
prepared to die at any moment, and
all should learn now while in the full
enjoyment of wealth and its pleasures
that Peruna is the greatest remedy
in the world for the diseases to which
flesh is heir. 1t can be procured at
any drug store Ask your druggist
for Peruma, the great tonic.

more for the Master than we have

The future of the Church depends

Attention Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life Of
the average physician is hard one.
He is often compelled to ride great
distances through mud and rain for a
merely nominal fee. 1t is not fit nor
proper for US to condemn any physi-
clan for his work but we do assert
that his practice can be made easier,
and he can affect more cures by the
proper and judicious use Of PERNUA.
If he will only add this great remedy
to his list of medicines, he will find
that his usefulness will be greatly in
creased. Full directions for its use
will be found in the "Ills Of Life" :"
and he should at once procure this
valuable book. Read the following:
