THE NOW AND THEN.

The globe, like all the universe
That fills the niche profound,
Whirls on as endless cycles tick
Its high appointed round.
The must of need is laid OH mar.
He meets it with his will;
Their contact brings forth fate, and Jack
And Jill went up the hill!
Oh, baseless fabrics of the airl
Oh, youths enchanted lands!
What castles made of dreams are reared
On fancy's shifting sandsl
Awhile an Eden is the lot
OF every son and daughter
Eve gives unto the world. They went
To fetch pail of water.
What are we but the toys Of fatep
Dark courses in the sky
Map out to erudition's gaze
Where suns lived but to die;
Volcanoes yawn and jibe at man,
His mocks the earthquake laughter.
Then Jack fell down and broke his CROWN
And Jill came tumbling after.
Each heart some trace of Egypt has,
Where ruins, deserts, lie,
And DER them all the sphynx looms up
With its eternal why.
Perhaps the hill the pair went up
Was tank built by the town
And scared to death they feared its banks
Might break ere they walked down.

Two friends, weaver and tailor,
became in time enemies, SO much so
that the tailor spoke much evil of the
weaver behind his back, though the
weaver always spoke well of the tailor.
Upon lady asking the weaver why he
always spoke SO well of the tailor, who
spoke SO ill of him, he replied, mad

THE BIBLE.
Manuscripts of the New and the Old Tes-
taments Often Rewritten.

Manuscripts of the New and the Old Tes-
taments Often Rewritten.
The New Testament, as we know it,
comes down to US after having been kept
for hundreds of years in manuscript form
by the priests, fathers of the church.,
and others. The writings have been
copied and recopied probably scores of
times, at least as often as occasion re-
quired, being always renewed before
becoming unintelligible by use and
wear. The two Oldest of these manu-
scripts now known are the Codex Semi
aticus and the Codex Vaticanus, each
of which dates from the fourth century,
A. D. The languages originally used in
this work were Hebrew and Greek, but
after the year 800 A. D. the manu-
scripts were all, or nearly all, written
in Latin. The last mentioned language
was that adopted by the Roman church
in their translations and was known as
the "Vulgate," because commonly used
in the churches. AS far back as the sew
enth century portions of the Vulgate
were translated into old English, and it
was also the version used by Wickliffe
(Wyclif), Purvey and their predecessors
and was the first book printed from
movable type, 1906.
Tyndale S version was from a German
translation of the original Greek, made
by Martin Luther.
The authorized version" or King
James translation, was made by AZ Of
the most eminent British scholars and
was finished in the year 1911. The
Latin Vulgate was the main version
used by them; but SO far as they were
accessible, other manuscripts, both in
the Greek and Hebrew, were consulted
and compared.
The manuscripts of the Old Tesla
ment have had similar experiences, hay
ing been written and rewritten thou
sands of times since the first collection
was put in writing by the priests and
leaders of the Israelites, about the year
1900 B. G. All of the older copies have,
of course, been worn out or lost ever
since long before the birth of Christ,
the Oldest copies in manuscript form
now in existence, SO far as is known,
dating from the year 500 A. D.-St.

A MATRIMONIAL FEE WAR IS

Justices of the Peace VIII Put In Some
Mighty Cheap Bids In Order to

Kansas City. NO.. June ga matri-
monial fee war Is threatened in Kan

justices OF the peace are dissatisfied
over the manner in which Probate
Judge Angle Is handling the matri-

threaten to give dull season" rate
to all men who are brave enough TO
take unto themselves better halves.
The justices claim that the probate
Judge Is violating the code Of sthice OF
the profession by soliciting trade In
the matrimonial line. They claim that
when they send men who are deter
mined to marry to the court house aft

return to have the ceremonies per-
formed. They assert that Judge Angle
solicits the prospective grooms to per-
init him to tie the knots and that the

Job.
A justice stated that in order to bring
the probate Judge to time there was
talk among the justices OF reducing
the price. They will first reduce the fee
to 81, and II that does not have the de-
sired effect they will perform cere-
monies for a while for nothing.

TORN BY A WILD HOG
TERRIBLE INJURIES INFLICTED
BY THE ANIMALS TUSKS.
One Thrust From the Hogs Tooth En-
tered the woman's Lung and Inflicted
Mortal wound-C Child Escaped.

New York. June 29.-The Herald S
special from Tallahassee. Fla. says:
Near this place. on Saturday after
noon. Mrs. Esther Moore was attacked
by wild hog and nearly torn to
pieces. The woman and her little girl
had gone out to pick berries, and were
busily engaged when the animal with
fierceness. charged upon them. The
child fed, but her mother tripped and
fell, and in an instant the hog was
upon her. tearing her with its sharp
tusks.
Every thrust tore the flesh in hor-
rible manner. One thrust entered near
the woman's right ankle and extended
to the thigh. cutting the flesh as a ra-
zor would have done.
The little girls screams attracted a
neighbor. who rushed to the spot and
shot the animal. One thrust from the
hogs tusk had entered the side, and
penetrated the lung. making mortal
wound. The woman's clothing had been
torn off and her clothes were torn TO
shreds.

transacting business of Importance to
the state. AS result of his recent
oriental trip he will work TO secure the
enactment next winter of measure
providing for the coinage Of chop"
dollars for use In transacting business
in the orient-in Japan and China
especially. Mr.. Doolittle says: Great
Britain has long been coming these
dollars. placing japanese chop" or
characters. representing the amount of
silver In the piece on one side and the
British stamp on the other. This cur
rency has been of great service to
British merchants transacting business
in China and Japan and hence 10 the
British nation at large. Our trade dol
lars might have served the same pur-
pose, but lacking the japanese chop"
or character indicating the value, the
Chinese and japanese did not under
stand them and would not use them.
The measure I think congress will en-
act will provide for the coinage OF
these dollars with the eagle on one side
and the japanese chop" on the other.
The piece will be irredeemable in gold
and will contain about the same
amount of silver as the American dol
lar. 1t will purchase in Japan about
double the amount that gold dollar
will purchase in this country"

The attitude assumed by the officers Of

that the semi-ofiicial Allgemlne Zei-

the subject. and charges the French
with carrying discord into general har-
mony and with pronounced lack OF
International courtesy. The same
power also belittles the Importance of
the Russo-Franco understanding so os-
tentatlously displayed at Klel. adding:
"The few Russian and French vessels
there cut "A very Insignificant figure.
