this morning and addressed the two
houses. He noted with pride that Texas
was in the lead In the laws to regulate
corporations that were doing the public
much harm" He stated that in his state
and others during the past IL months
corporations had stepped out of their
chartered rights and into politics, and
he favored the enactment of law pro-

UP IN IDAHO.
Much Talk, But Yet with NO Re
suit

Boise, Ida, Jan. 25-The third week
of the balloting for United State SEN
ator opened with an activity that por.
tends to the minds of some an cleo.
ton before its close Today the Popu-
lists gave their votes solidly to Frank
Walton, the Pocatello editor, four Dem
ocrats-Davis of Oneida, Elder, Nc
Murrin and DEMONSTRATING them.
Dubois secured his usual vote, while
Democrats, with the exception of the
four named, voted for Nelson (Popu
list) Two ballots were taken, In each
of which, Walton received 2o, Dubois
20, and Nelson 10; scattering 2.
The vote of Walton was thought to
indicate Clagett had lost control of
the Populist caucus, but such is not
the case. He still controlled at morn
ing caucus, and WaItons vote was
merely a compliment from Clagett.
Tonight 1t Is said that the Democrats
will made a proposition to vote for
Lewis (Populist) tomorrow if the Popu-
lists will give him their support. thus
electing him.
The Populists at 8 o'clock are in eau
Gus and the fight Is over Lewis. If
Clagett men are knocked out in eau
Gus It is likely some of Clagett's men
will bolt, and If Lewis is the Populist
choice, the question of his election to-
morrow will depend lsrgely on the
number SO boiling. 1t is said these will
not exceed six, which would leave
Lewis 10 Populists. The Democratic
vote would elect him with these unless
1t developes that Dubois has control of
two or more Democrats. The lines are
closely drawn, and the populist caucus
tonight is believed to be of the highest
importance.
1t is announced that Governor Steu-
nenberg has promised to appoint
Populist secretary Of state in event
Lewis election which has brought
about the first definite proposition
made by Democrats to the Populists,
all others having been indicated merely
by the Democratic vote In joint ses
sion.
Ex-Congressman Sweet continues to
be factor, although Dubois men deny
he is even possibility.
At midnight the situation may be
summed up this way: The Democrats
say they are willing to vote for any Pop
ulist but Clagett; CIagett has control of
he Populist caucus, and If by any hook
or crook 1t is taken from him, his per-
sonal following will leave it. With such
obstacles in the way, 1t seems that those
who anticipate an early election will be
solely disappointed.

Francisco.
San Francisco, Jan. 27-Peace reigned
in Chinatown last right, but Ratchet
men from all sections of the coast are
hurrying to San Francisco to avenge
the death of "Little Pete" Sam Yup
merchants enture outside their homes
only when absolutely necessary, and
under the protection of white body
guard. Any white man who can pro-
duce evidence of his skill with a pistol
has no difficulty In securing fat berth
as body-guard to some wealthy Mongo-
liam. The majority of the Sam Yups or
upper class believe that murder will be
rampant In Chinatown during the new
year holidays, which begin February l..
The noise which usually attends the
celebrations at that time will afford the
opportunity to use their
weapons with little danger of detection.

A Dream of Harvest.

l have not seen for many year
Or growing corn or farm or grange,
I know not why there should appear
To me a dream so sweet, yet strange
High in garrett where st. Paurs
Gives me Stone-greeting every morn,
Last night l dreamed of linnets' calls.
And long fair upland fields of corn.
I know not what so far away
From pounds and pence my fancy led;
I looked as usual yesterday
Only on lines of black and red,
But yet across the dull dead years
I saw. last seen so long ago.
Again the rustlng golden spears
Thick serried waving to and fro.
1 heard the farmers homely yarns.
Their fears of laid unripened grain,
Their hopes of overfiowing barns,
Their prophecies of sun and rain.
1 saw Drowned girls with cornflowers
braid
My dream you see had skipped some
leaves
Their curls, faint reapers in rare shade
Asleep. babes Graded on warm sheaves.
I heard the tinkling laden vain
Slow creeping under cloudless skies.
The sickle's well-known sound, the strain
OF harvest filed with tears my eys.
I saw the tired ears falling caught
BY women's arms. in heat of noon:
Then came change, and there was
naught
But shocks and stubble meath the moon.
I'm almost in despair with it.
This wide. wide waste of white and
brown:
But wife and child die. if 1 quit
My worn stool in this sitting town.

JADE THE BEAUTIFUL.
Now the fashionable Bracelet
Highly Valued in China.

Just at present the fashionable brace
/ let is of jade. smooth, sea green stone,
most becoming to a white arm. The
latest chatelaine adornment, the para
! sol handle. girdle clasp, snuff and jewel
{ boxes, idols, daggers and other bric-a-
/ brac are also made of jade. In fact,
this is the day of jade.
/ In China jade is almost worshiped
as the bringer of good luck, and when
Chinaman wants to do anything par
ticularly graceful he makes a gift of
! jade 1t is the lucky stone, the reverse
of the opal and talisman against
fate. The Oriental fad for brilliant
colors was started during Ii Hung
Chang's visit, and the present craze is
also a subtle compliment to the dis
ting1lished Oriental.
The very first weights and measures
of the Chinese world We're computed
, by means of jade tubes, and the earli-
est bars and notes of music known to
the Chinese were determined first by
hollow bamboo canes of accurate length
and afterward perpetuated in jade
tubes having with stops to be pulled
out of the will of the player. Jade be-
ing considered infallible its accuracy is
not to be doubted.
Not only the Chinese but the Span
iards and Mexicans have considered jade
an amulet against disease, particularly
diseases of the stomach and epilepsy
The man who found a single piece or
jade was often regarded as endowed
with supernatural powers, the piece
having fallen, according to their belief,
from Jupiter.
The Chinese value their jade carvings
so highly that they are not often spared
from the country. At times of national
calamity such as the elimination OF
the late war between Japan and China,
the western importers and jewelers.
have a chance to buy certain of the
treasures. Jade is costly because not
commonly found and because it is ex-
ceedingly hard to work or to set gems
in. A good deal of it now comes from
New Zealand, where superstitions at
tach to it. GrOtesque figures of jade,
having glaring red eyes, are worn on
the breasts of savage warriors, and
hatchets, sabers and daggers of jade
are owned by every eastern soldier of
rank to be handed down as precious
heirlooms to his descendants.
In China when an unusually large
piece of jade is found, the Emperor
calls a council of artists to determine
into what shape it had best be carved,
as, owing to its extreme hardness, the
form selected must follow somewhat
the outline indicated in the natural for
nation. The artist chosen will be made
a mandarin if his carving is approved
after having been subjected to public
criticism for year. If his work is
condemned he is likely to lose his head
and certainly his reputation. With
thin piece of finely tempered brass wire
he may work for a week without hav-
ing anything to show for his pains.
Twenty years is not thought over long
for an artist to work on a single piece
of carving. The jade is generally green
but some specimens show beautiful
graduations of rose and orange veining
the mass.

Every person can judge for himself,
but is not a final and authoritative
| tribunal for others. Some people alb
stain from walking out on Sunday lest
they should seem to identify themselves
with others who do their own pleasure
on Gods day. The Bible contains a
prohibition for those who go with the
multitude to do evil If a Christian
man has a legitimate errand of mercy
on Sunday he is as much entitled to
ride on the wheel as he is to walk

cred by imperfect men in an imperfect

ment is imperiled by it's own popular
ity and success says the New York

seems somtimes as if the talking and
( doing side of our holy religion We're
extolled and exalted above the walking
and praying side. Having extended it
self in length and breadth it might be
wisdom to insist more on depth. Quail
ity, rather than quantity, is the great

ture permanency. Not SO much more
brand of the same. Improve what We
have already, so that the coming En-
deavorer shall size up larger in spirit

life in the individual members must

of each local society and union. With

"The real question is not whether
Congregationalism will continue. but
whether it will continue to work along
its own historic lines as a definitely
conceived evangelical fact and force
says the New York Observer Pres).
1T is not a question of mere pro-
tracted being, but of we'll being. No
one pretends that precisely the Congre
gatiOnalism of the fathers is the norm
for regationalism of the present
day; but unless the Congregationalists
of tomorrow pay some earnest regard
to the great evangelical principles
which have dominated the development
of their denominational faith from 1920
to the present, they will find them
selves possessed of the mere dried shell
of a formal polty rather than of the
rich kernel of a Gospel meat and nutri-
ment. 1t is historic COngregationalism
with some notifications suited to age
and cline, which alone can fulfill the
Congregational ideal of the future, or
at least afford the building base for
such a superstructure. The absolutely
essential condition of any 'Congrega-
tional,' or at all events, Christian sue
cess, is a definite and vital appreciation
of the great evangelical doctrines as
commonly interpreted. The only eff
cient or even existent Congregational
ism will be one which knows its own
mind, which is vertebrate while it is
VITAL and is a revelation and not a
reservation; that is a pillar of illumi-
mating fire by night, but not a mere pill
lar of cloud by day; which is alert, but
not lax; which is a quest, but not a
question"

DR.. Fritz Hommel, Professor of Sc
mitic languages at the University of
Munich, has just published a volume
entitled Die Altisraelitische Uberlie-
ferung in inschriftlicher Beleuchtung, y
! in which he enters a strong protest
against the modern school of Old Tes-
lament criticism. A little more than
twenty years ago Eberhard Nestle pub
lished at Haarlem a work on Die
israelitischen Eigennamen mach ihrer
religions -geschichtlichen Bedeutung,' -
in which he attempted to analyze the
proper names found in the Old Testa-
ment and to use them as a means of
testing the authenticity of Hebrew
tradition. These conclusions were Wig
orously assailed two years later by
Julius Wellhausen in the first volume
of his ''Geschichte Israels." where he
endeavored to show that the proper
names in the priestly code ascribed to
the Mosaic period were, like the code
itself, the fabrications of a much later
time, and that the differences drawn
from them by Nestle were therefore
invalid. In the present volume Pro-
fessor Hommel follows out the lines of
investigation indicated and partly
opened up by Nestle, and brings to bear
upon the subject a vast amount, not
only Of accurate learning, but also of
new and valuable material derived from
South Arabian inscriptions, for which
he is indebted especially to the recent
scholarly explorations of DR.. E. Chaser,
who unfortunately has published as yet
only small portion of the hundreds of
casts and copies in his possession.
Hommels treatment of personal
names and their genealogical signifi-
canoe is exceedingly acute and exhaus-
tive, and his work is certainly one of
the most learned and valuable of re-
cent contributions to primitive Biblical
history. Whether his deductions in
confirmation of the truth and trust
WOrthiness of Hebrew tradition touch
ing pre- Mosaic times, the prevalence
of monotheism and a high state of civ
lllzatiOn among the Israelites at that
early era, the reality Of Abraham as an
historical parsonage, and not a merely
tribal designation, the predominating
influence of BabylOnian in distinction
from Canaanite culture, and other kim
dred topics, will be generally accepted
by Biblical critics and the younger gen
GRAFTON of theologians, remains to be
seen. The English translation pub
Hshed by the Society for Promoting
Christian knowledge in London reads
we'll, and is generally correct. but
not always.

Buttons are certainly as ancient as
the siege of Troy, in the ninth century
before our era, for, both in that unfor-

Schliemann discovered objects of gold,
silver and bronze which could have had
no other use than that of buttons. In
mediaeval times the clothing of the

I'VE are asked says the IN. w.

go, IF bicycling does not increase Sab
bath breaking, and if the wheel does
not, therefore, deserve encouragement.
There is no room for doubt that the
wheel encourages Sabbath breaking
upon the wheel Good roads also in
crease Sabbath breaking. Horses in
their day led to Sabbath breaking.
Good fishing does SO. Yachting does
so. The chief trouble, however, is in
the man or woman who misuses the
horse, the wheel, the yacht, the fish
hook, or good roads. One may as well
discourage a fish diet or the making
of good country or city roads as to
open campaign against the special in
struments that facilitate Sabbath
breaking. There is no more immoral
steel or rubber about a bicycle in use
on Sunday than on Monday. A war
upon the wheel as a wheel is sure to
expose the warrior to ridicule. Such a
campaign is useless The only route
to reform is through the intelligence
and conscience of riders. 1t is easy to
see that some men on wheels on Sun
day may be in a better state of mind
or soul or morals than some others
who go about on foot. The sole test
is in the intent and spirit of the rider.
