vivifying the yielding earth, which
brought fresh blossom and fruit in
plenty. A carpet of grass continually
renewed ITSELF and trees were ever
fresh and green.
1t was one long holiday to the people,
who lived in the innocence and purity
Of childhood. There was no need for
work, for the earth, their kind mother,
gave all that was necessary for their
welfare, without need of their labor.
1t was the Golden Age of the world,
and laughter and music were as COM
mon then as trouble and misery are
common now.
Why did this age ever end, you won
der? 1t came from the desire to rule.
Jupiter assembled the throne of heaven
and earth; a code of laws and morals
was instituted and as heretofore the
people had done right from the intui-
tions of their souls, they were suddenly
and rudely awakened to the possibility
of evil.
With this mental conception came as
a result material change. The Golden
Age was succeeded by the Silver Age.
The people did not suddenly become
evil, but there was a gradual dropping
away from the old childlike faith The
world grew older and the people, who,
thus far had been always young, began
to grow old too. The perpetual spring
gave way to the four seasons, and heat
and cold, in their intensity, drove the
people to seek shelter in caves
Then the earth did not yield so
abundantly and man was driven to SOW
the seed, and for the first time the oxen
were placed under the yoke to drive the
burrows.
So age succeeded age, the Brazen, the
producer of warlike race, was fol-
lowed by the Age of Steel, with the
men hard as that metal itself.
Then the crime burst upon the world
like an all-devouring fire, sweeping
before it and annihilating truth, honor,
justice and mercy Fraud and cunning
and violence and greed came into the
hearts of men, and fathers could not
trust their sons, nor husbands their
wives. Not satisfied with what the sur
face of the earth yielded, the men must
needs dig into the bowels and cruel iron
and misunderstanding gold had their
birth.
Wars then broke out, and the two
metals were used as weapons, and the
father was not safe from his son in his
greed for the Inheritance. Family love
lay PROSTATE in the mire, and so sad
and heartrending was all this to the
newly-ejected gods that in fear of con-
tamination they left the earth and as
cended into heaven. All save Astraea

departed; she, the goddess of purity and
innocence, still found refuge in the
hearts of some young maidens. But
after while even she was forced to-
leave.
And then, with no hand to stay its
deadly leap to destruction. the world
swept on, and blackness was too light
a word to describe its state.
Jupiter looked down from his throne
on high at the pitiful state of the earth,
but only anger found place in his heart
at the people who dared to destroy
their beautiful garden and make it a
prison house, dark and drear. And in
his anger he called an assembly of the
gods
Then came one and all-along the
Milky Way, which was the royal road
to the Palace of Heaven. The abodes
of the great rose on each side of this
sllvery pathway. the gods of lesser
might dwelling remote from the central
sphere.
When all had asseY bled hush fell
upon the com lany. Jupiter sat upon
his throne ariayed in all his dazzling
splendor. His right hand grasped the
thunderbolt, which. at his will, he
hurled through the air at wrong-doers.
Juno sat upon his right and shared the
throne with him. Mercury. from whose

The following story is told of John
Brennan of Stevens Point as a Grim.
inal lawyer. The story goes that a
farmer who had killed his wife in the
northern part of the state sent for Mr..
Brennan to defend him, Offering to
deed him his farm if he would take the
case. Brennan wanted his pay in ad.
vance and so the farmer made over the
property to him. The murder was q
most brutal and cold-blooded one and
Brennan knew that there was but one
plea that might save his client from
a life sentence and that was insanity
The trial was one of the fiercest ever
fought in Wisconsin court. The at.
torney for the defense occupied whole
day in his closing address to the jury
and the effort was mastery one. The
jury found the man insane and he was
sent to Oshkosh. Once there he inn
proved rapidly and in few weeks was
discharged. Ills first act was to sue
Brennan for the recovery of his prop
erty on the ground that he was insane
at the time he decided it.
In the face of his own argument that
the man was insane Brennan could do
nothing and the farmer won the case,
Brennan has blacklisted insanity as a
defense for murderers. Milwaukee

packed in 1O0-pound sacks, which, when
thus packed, is admitted free of duty
to the ports of that country. The mills
of Spokane have worked up quite a
trade with Guatemala and Chile, which
is increasing rapidly. Spokane mills
will have a capacity, when the new
mills are completed, of from 1000 to
5000 barrels of -four per day, which
means consumption of from 10000 to

accordingly.
As no one else seemed particularly anx-

"whose crime smelt to heaven" she ven
tured forth herself the other evening and
caught the thief in the very act of enjoy
ing a rare feast.

it only remains to hold on to this point OF
advantage like grim death until the ami
mai can be killed.

The Famous Horse Case.

No case in the Orange county court has
for long time excited so much general
interest in this vicinity as the much
talked of coach horse case that came be-
fore this term of court.
The case was that of the Limerick Ma
lional bank of Maine against twenty sign
ers of joint and several note, payable TO
IL. Z. Reynolds of Franklinville, n. ",
and given In the purchase of a German
coach horse.
The verdict of the jury was for the de-
PENDANTS.
The court ruled that If the jury found
the note had been originally obtained by
fraud, then the burden of proof should be
upon the plaintiff to show by fair bal
ance of proof that 1t was a bona fide hold
er for value.
The plaintiff took various exceptions to
the ruling OF the court and TO the admis-
sion of certain evidence so that, il Is I'M
derstood, the case will go to the supreme
court, probably in May.
The signers of this note are almost all
Randolph men, and the agreement was
that the note should not be used until all
the shares had been taken by responsible
parties and il, at meeting OF the signers,
any name upon the note did not meet with
the approval of the rest, another name, sat
isfactory 10 all, should be obtained before
the note was used.
This agreement, the defendants claimed,
had been violated and the note taken out
of the state before the signers had been
approved, and the jury so found.
The verdict of the jury is regarded In
the light OF victory by the signers OF the
note, and it is sincerely hoped that il may
in fact prove TO be the end of the matter.

..Lost in London"

This play, presented By the Wide Awake
dramatic company, Under the direction
of MIR. Newton Beers, Thursday and Fri
day evenings, drew very fair audiences
both nights; though the number was not
nearly so large as a library benefit should
have called out.
The receipts at the door amounted 10
about s6S, which left, after the reduction
OF necessary expenses, the sum of so to
be divided equally between the library
and AR. Beers, for whom the benefit was
originally intended and whose idea it was
TO share the profits with our newly
founded public institution.
Tine $3.50 thus obtained for the library
should be an incentive to the towns peo-
pie to exhibit an interest i'm iis we'll being
equal to that displayed by stranger.
The playwas presented with considerable
histrionic ability, and many compliments
were heard in praise of "our local talent. .
Mr.. Beers filled the roles of stage mana
ger, stage carpenter, scene shifter and
leading character with a really wonderful
versatility of genius, and passed from one
To the other without the slightest appar-
ent confusion.
Miss Name Connolly in the character
OF Nellie Armroyd, won deserved recogni-
ton OF her decided dramatic ability and
played her part with an evident compre-
hension of its possibilities. MIR. Frank
w
sustained his previous reputation as an
actor and addeu new laurels to his crown.

ter of a humanitarian, was undoubtedly
the right man in the right place, and Mr..
Clarence Cleveland, in the role of police
man, made an imposing guardian of the
peace.
The Ariosa quartette was heard to good
advantage in several excellent selections,
and a very beautiful tableau, arranged by
Mrs u. Merchant, gave the finishing
touch to a fine entertainment.
Thanks are due to Mr.. Beers and the

Offensive
Catapph.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ga, writes:

she stole upon the intruder, who, how
ever, saw her and attempted to slip away
but, executing flank increment, she sur
prised the enemy at his unprotected rear
and triumphantly proved the truth of her
strategic theory.
The capture having been so successfully
effected, she called for assistance in dis
patching the creature and, afraid to let go,
held on desperately until the executioner
had finished his work.
Then she dropped her unfortunate vic
tim, and the Morse chickens are i'm fair
way to survive until Christmas time at

threaten them,
