for working on Sunday, and the decision
of the lower court has been sustained
by the supreme court. Such proceed
ings are mockery of freedom. The
Adventists have as good right to
observe the seventh day as day ofres
as have the Jews, or as good right as
other sects have to observe the first day
of the week. The entire religious
world should protest against such in
Justice Paul Globe.
There is a justice's,court in Chicago
where all the proceedings are con-
Quoted in the German language. When
witness appears who is unable to,
speak German his evidence is given
through an interpreter. All decisions
of the court are given in the language
most vogue in "der Faderland." Sin
gularly enough, there has never been a.
remonstrance against this singularly
out of place court, and it has done
business at the same stand for many
years.-Lemars, Iowa, Globe.
1t is passing strange that people can
not learn that true friendship is shown
by sticking up for their friends when
the friends are absent. The person
who is your friend only when you are
around and ever ready to say mean little
things when not around is not only in
capable of true friendship but is void
of the qualities which go to make up
true men and women. Such people do
not seem to know that, sooner or later,
their stories become twice told tales
and eventually find harbOr in the
breasts of those most directly interest

The Chicago Society for the Proven
ton of Crime has investigated hypno-
} tism, and learned that it may be used,
} either for good or evil. 1t is often used
for evil purposes. Unprincipled per-
sons through this mysterious art, can
commit crimes by proxy. They can
, hypnOtlze sensitiveS and send them
. forth to do their bidding. New York
has therefore made it matter of leg
islation, and since young man in Gin
cinnati hypnotiZed two of his fellow
=. students and forgot how to bring them
3 back to consciousness, so they went
3 crazy and died, it has been against the
e ordinance of that city to mesmerize any
: person there. 1t is also used for noble
g purposes. Physicians have used it

: to master nervous disorders. Any gift

: purpose and when properly understood
and used, will be a great blessing to
humanity Duluth Press
If there is scarcity of one thing in
