E ditor Yost Lost.

A case in the district court that
seems to have attracted unusual
attention at the county seat was
that of Brady VS. Yost. Prof. Brady.
principal of the Rathdrum public
school, brought suit against Editor
Yost for the possession of the Silver
Blade printing establishment. We
know nothing of the merits of this
case, but it is claimed by Prof.
Brady that Editor Yost entered
into a written agreement to sell
him the Blade. Part of the con-
sideration was paid and the bal
ance rendered, but Yost, for some
reason, backed out, hence the suit.
The case was decided by Judge
Meyhew on Wednesday. The
court ordered Yost to deliver the
Blade plant over to Brady and pay
all costs. 1t is said the case will be
appealed. In case Prof. Brady
secures control, a radical change
will take place in the politics of the
paper.

the report of the committee on nomina-
tons.
The committee on resolutions reported
as follows:
Resolued, That the Christian Endeavor
convention here assembled, take great
pleasure in extending their hearty
thanks to the Somerset Railway com
psny, especially to the Superintendent,
W. NJ. Aver, for our special trains and
the very low rates given.
Again, That this convention extend
their heartfelt thanks to the North An
son Y. 2. S. G. Z. society who have so
kindly contributed and served the most
bountful and thoroughly appreciated
repast. We suggest vote of thanks to
these generous people by rising.
Whereas, In the county of Somerset
we have at least 40 saloons and hotels
where liquors are openly sold in defiance
of our prohibitory laws and, whereas,
our supreme court and county officials
have adopted what is known as the
"Bangor Plan" which is practically law
license, therefore,
Resotoed, That we, the members of
the Somerset County Christian Endeavor
Union, Indignantly protest against this
utter disregard for the constitutional
amendment and the breaking down of
the prohibitory laws of our State, and
will use our influence against the cleo
ton of men to office in our State and
county whom we know are not in sym
pathy with prohibition and that we will
seek only the elevation of such men as
have N oral backbone, who will dare
to do right and dare to be true.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions was accepted.

Literary Notes.

The November MeClure's contains the
first installment of Charles A. Dana's
"Reminiscences of Men and Events of
the Civil War" This promises to be
most interesting series. Sent into the
field as the personal representative OF
Lincoln and Stanton, rarely equipped by
nature and training for fall and accurate
observation, and under instructions to
let nothing significant escape him, either
in men or mOvements-Dana saw what
no other man or men could possibly
have seen. The papers are TO be illus
trated from the recently completed
Government Collection of Civil War
Photographs.
The November Century contains an
article on 1.-The Growth of Great Cities, ="
prepared by Roger S. Tracy, NJ. d..
This will be accompanied by an inserted
colored map OF Greater New York,
specially prepared for the readers of the
magazine, and giving unpublished stalls

During the past twenty-h years
there have been centennial celebrations
of many battles, and of other events
connected With the foundation of the re-
public; but none has greater Significance
for us, as a nation capable of defending
our rights and of resisting pressure from
without, than the centenary of the
launching Of the famous frigate Con-
stitutiou in Boston on October 81, 1907
for she marks the beginning of our navy.
Apropos of this important event the
November Atlantic contains highly in
trresIing and timely article by Ira n.
Hollis, formerly of the United States
Navy, narrating the brilliant exploits
and achievements of this world famous
frigate, and emphasizing their far-reach-
ing influence upon our destinies as a
nation.

LEGEND OF THE MACI.

The legend of the Wise Men OF the
ginal Greek, 'the three Magi," became,
under monkish influence, one of the
most popular during the middle ages.
The Scripture nowhere informs us that
these individuals were kings, or their
number restricted to three. The legend
converts the magi into kings, gives their
names aid a minute account Of their
stature and the nature Of their
gifts. Melchior, we are thus told, was
king Of Nubie, the smallest man Of the
triad, and he gave the Savior gift
Of gold. Balthazar was king of Chal-
dea, and he offered incense; he was q
man of ordinary stature. But the third.
Jasper, king of Tarshish, was Of high
stature, "a black Ethiope," and he gavo
myrrh. All came with many rich or.
naments belonging to kings array, and
with multitude of people to do hon.
age to the Savior, then a little child Is
days old"
The barbaric pomp involved in this
legend made it favorite with artists
during the middle ages. The picture OF
1.-THE Offering Of the Magi," which we
publish, is from a circular plate Of sill
yer chased in high relief and partly
gilt, which is supposed to have formed
the center of morse or large brooch,
used to fasten the decorated cope Of an
ecclesiastic in the latter part of the
fourteenth century.
The Empress Helena, mother of Con-
stantine the Great, found what she Con-
sidered the burial place Of the three
kings, and their remains were removed
to Constantinople and inferred in the
church of st. Sophia. Later they were
removed to the Cathedral of Milan, and
in the twelfth century to Cologne, where
they still lie, in magnificent reliquary,
enriched with gems and enamels. These
relics are enveloped in velvet and dec
