the Majesty of the Law.

The scene was too impressive to be
quickly forgotten. All the space in the
court room allotted to the public was
crowded by interested listeners. The
defendant, charged with murder, sat
with bowed head and sad face, sur
rounded by relatives and counsel. The
jurors, soon to pass upon the guilt or
innocence Of the accused, seemed
deeply conscious Of the serious and
solemn duty they were called upon to
perform. The spectacled Judge sat
behind his desk holding an open book
in his hand and gazing into space,
his knit brow indicating the contem-
piation OF some complicated question
of law. The attorney for the state
hesitated a moment in his address and
an awful silence pervaded the room.
AS If appalled, by its surroundings,
even the pendulum Of the court house
clock stopped and stood STILL Then
raising both hands, slowly but with
much feeling the attorney said; Gen
tlemen, the majesty Of the law must

self was not new to me, but on this
occasion it came laden with new
meaning. The different forms and
province of government were sug-
gested to me and l could not thrust
them aside. The process whereby law
has been substituted for the will of a
despot ought to be Of interest to peo-
pie whose boast it is that they govern
themselves. Governments, like most
human institutions, are the result Of
ages Of growth. From the despotism
of ruler whose will was law in all
things pertaining to the property and
lives Of his subjects to republicanism
or democracy is distance not easily
measured. Just how 1t came about
that the earliest rulers of men were
looked upon as gods or demigods and
had absolute power over the lives and
possessions of their subjects accorded

Town Improvement Association. To
the Girls and BOYS Of Marietta,

Inc ulrlS ana boys OF marletta,
Most of you know and plainly see
what the town Improvement Associa
ton with its white Wings has done
to improve this old historic town.
Although you are too young to be
members you can every one of you,
even the smallest be valuable helpers,
which means more than mere mem
bers, and you are cordially invited, to-
day, as helpers, by the Press Commit
tee of the Town Improvement Asso-
citation.
Will you accept the invitation? l
fancy hear every one of you answer
"yes." 1 will, for as Marietta gives
you excellent schools, you will surely
do all you can, in return for your edu-
cation, to make the city attractive and
one to be proud of as your home.
The task, as helpers be very
easy one, the ready, willing spirit" be-
ing more than any real labor.
The first requirement is to take care
of your own sidewalk at home, keep
ing it free from dust and dirt in sum-
mer, from leaves, twigs and sticks in
autumn and snow and ice in the win
ter AS soon as your good care of
them begins to show throughout the
city, the Association will be encour-
aged to go on beautifying it with pref
ty shaped flower beds and foliage
plants that will make the once neg
lected streets of Marietta delight to
behold. Please help to bring it to
pass, girls and boys, by your good
care of your sidewalks at home.
Lovers of home and the place you
live in, help to make good citizens and
lovers of their country, and they make ,
patriots and heroes of whom we are so .
proud nowadays.
The next requirements to the care
of your sidewalks at home, may be
summed up in few "Don'ts" that any
girl or boy can easily fulfill and there
ny become true and valuable helpers"
of the Marietta Town Improvement
Association, and should "Children's !
League" be formed another year,
prove themselves worthy of member
ship in that division.
Therefore learn the Don IT'S" by
heart and above all put them into dali
ly practice.
DON'TS.
Don't throw any thing into the
street, as the garbage cans or boxes
are somewhere near or to be found.
Don't throw away banana skins, as
they are slippery, but give them to a
horse, as horses like them.
Don't forget that orange skins and
melon rinds are the easiest cared for
when thrwn into a garbage can or
box.
Don't tear up paper and scatter it on
the street or any where on the ground
gladly giving up playing hare and
hounds" 10 keep the streets free from
paper. Now dear girls and boys of
Marietta,
IF in this way you'll lend a helping
hand,
Soon our town will surely stand
The very cleanest in the land"
Very Sincerely Yours,
The Press Committee of the Town
Association.

Joseph Letter, who attempted to ac-
quire ownership of about all the wheat
in the country last year, has just fin
ished up paying for his bitter exper-
ience. To get out of the hole that the
deal put the Letter family into, Letter
Senior had to mortgage five and half
millions of his property.
Young Joe will probably in the fu-
ture confine his business to smaller
things.

Stewart l.. Woodford, Minister to
Spain, at present on a vacation of in
definite length, uttered the following
patriotic expression the other day at
a dinner in New York:
Although l would not go so far as
to say that the Stars and Stripes
should never be taken down after they
had been raised anywhere, ! know
what their meaning is.
: "They are for liberty the we--are of
humanity, the elevation of the race
wherever they appear. They lead the
way to civilization, to the highest
ideals that men may admire"

I asked General Stewart how 1t hap
pens that the navy is so we'll equipped
and prepared to meet almost any rea-
sonable demand made upon it by the
officers and men Of the service, so far
as food and clothing supplies are con-
cerned. He replied that the navy re-
allied that wal with Spain was COM
ing a little in advance Of the army. AS
soon as congress appropriated $50, 00O,-
600 for war supplies, every naval store
house in the country was Immediately
filled with supplies, including clothing
and small stores. I realized hat If war
came we would need all the supplies we
could crowd into our storehOuses. If,
on the other hand, var was averted,
we could have the satisfaction of know
ing that we were prepared for an
emergency"

MY friends, if ever your life, through
Its abrasions and its molestations,
should seem to be uncomfortable, and
behest, do not consider yourself as
worse than others. Christ himself was
tempted to cast himself from the roof
of the temple, but as he resisted, so re-
s1st We. Christ came to medicine all
wounds. In your trouble I prescribe
life instead of death. People who have
had 1t worse h a you will aver have
1T, have gone s%ongfully on their way.
Remember that God keeps the chro-
nology of you life with as much precis-
ion as he keeps the chronology of ma
lions. your grave as we'll as your
cradle. Why was it that at midnight.
just at midnight, the destroying angel
struck the blow that set the Israelites
free from bondage? The 43O years were
up at II O'Clock that night. The 43O
years were not up at II, and 1 O'clock
would have been tardy and too late.
The 4SO years were up at II o'clock, and
the destroying angel struck the blow.
and Israel was free. And God knows
just the hour when it is time to lead
you up from earthly bondage. BY his
grace, make not he worst of things,
but the best of them.
There is a ~sorrowless world, inc it is
50 radiant that the MONDAY sun is only
the lowest doorstep, and the aurora
that lights up our northern heavens.
confounding astronomers as to what
1t can be, is the waving of the banners
OF the procession come to take the o n
querors home from church militant to
church triumphant, and you and I
have 10000 reasons for wanting to go
there, but we will neve get there either
by self-immolation or impenitency.
All our sins slain by Christ who came
to do that thing, we want to go in at
just h time divinely arranged. and
from a couch divinely spread. and then
the clang of the sepulchral gates be-
hind us will be overpowered by the
clang Of the opening of the solid pearl
before us. o Cod! Whatever others
may choose, give me a Christians life,
a Christians death, a Christians burial,
a Christians Immortality!

took the lieutenant in his arms, still
holding the wound, and bore him to a
