ABOUT A LOST BIBLE.

ABOUT A LOST BIBLE.
I'VE all laughed over the story, and
now, Molly, you mayen't believe this
part, but it's true. a tall, thin son of
Vermont drawled out. DO you belong to
the CareyS| and my friend nodded his
head, and the Nermonter said, 1 know
the fellow that took that silver. and he
married one of the incest girls that ever
was born in Virginia. 1t is funny how
war brings out romance.
The gentleman from Vermont went on
to say that when he. started out to fight
the gentlemen from the South years ago
his mother gave him a Bible in which
was written on the first page his name
III full At Bull Run. where some little
accident happened to the Union army, it
was left in Il hurry, for, as well as | can
remember, he must have been so eager
to leave that unhealthy neghbOrhood
that he left everything behind, includ
ing the Bible. y tiny girl who lived
near went over the BATTLEFIELD some weeks
after and picked up this Bible. Being
a child of religious tendency, she said
to her mother. i am going to keep
this Bible until | can give it to the
man to whom it belongs After the war
considerable Northern capital went
South. and. while Mt first it did not at
tract the men. from the minute of its
arrival it was conquered by the women.
One of the men who had grown very
rich married the little girl who found
the Bible. \ long time afterward he
was going to II meeting of the G. \. r..
and she asked him to put the Bible in
his pocket, for. as she said with great
sense, among some of the veterans he
might come across its owner. Now just
think how little the world is, The man
who was elected secretary was the Origi-
nal owner of the Bible. and the man
who had had the good taste to marry
Southern girl also had the pleasure Of
telling the story right out in meeting and
then presenting the little book to its
original owner. The mother who gave
it had been asleep for many years. and
ut the sight of the book the tears came
into the eyes of the one who remembered
the day when he left home. taking with
him Il mothers blessing and the good

Princeton university has conferred an
honor upon itself rather than upon Rear
Admiral Dewey by giving him the honorary
degree of Doctor OF Laws IL is fitting that
Princeton should do this. especially as the
admiral became quite well known TO Pres
ident Patton and his faculty during the
years when the Manila hero's son was a
member OF the class Of 1896. The applause
that greeted the announcement will be
greeted on all sides. But the fact remains
that even Princeton can add nothing 10

question that OF themselves are pertinent
One OF these, urged by the county com

chic argument against this is the ap-
parent unfairness OF permitting the repre-
seufatives Of three wards TO control the
entire eight wards.

The commissioners are to be represent
ed in the suit by the county attorney and

The county commissioners maintain tina:

no more right 10 representation on the
board of equalization than has Puyailup,
Sumner and other towns. The question
was last year brought up In various coun-
ties. but the decisions thus far have not

waiting for the decision before making

The decision Of Judge Carroll last year
forbidding the city council from having

two OF three important suits to set aside
the assessments In each instance. and
these suits will likely remain pending un-
