CASTLES OF NTES. -

Rev. Frank Crane Delivers the Annual
Institute Lecture.
Rev. Frank Crane, of Chicago, delIv-
cred his lecture at the Presbyterian
church Tuesday night. His subject, Cos
ties of Atlsntes,' as may be guessed,
was of the metaphoric character. At
lantes was magician who figures IN
legend of the dark ages According to
the story. Atlantes had a ward whom
he loved very much and whom, despite
the warning of stars, he decided TO
keep with him always. In order TO do
this he built castle on rock so high
and precipitOus that IT could not ne
reached except 10y the use of a fabulous
winged monster. Here he kept his
favOrlte free from the influence of the
outside world and tried to cheat faIe
from the realization IF her prophecy.
climax to the story, which, however,
cannot re repeated here.
The lecturer referred TO the Castle
of Atlantes" as symbOlically denoting
something In the lives of most people.
We have desire to get away from the
rest of the world; to be independent;
to be looked up TO. Money can accom-
plish this: hence, money is the mater
ial ont of which We build our castle.
NJ han hOU ha -
our Castle of Atlsntes."
Rev. Crane advised strongly that we
should not give up our lives to money
getting. Make comparisons of your
selves and others who have what ma
terial thir gs you desire. he said, and
you may be influenced TO want them
less. He referred TO the Ponce de Leon
hotel in Florida, built by msguates of
the Standard Oil company. 1t was a
be likened TO Alladin's palace in the
Turkish legend, only in this instance
it was oil instead Of lamp which eX-
erted such a magical power in prOduc-
ing It, Neither in this palace nor in
the mansions of Washington can the
people enjoy life more than they who
are sensible but poor of purse. The
pursuits, the svOcations of the society
set were ridiculed in a deserving man
ner.
Mankind was compared with mu-
sical instrument. The piano player
runs his fingers over the keys, produc-
ing music. How would you like to
have q musical instrument which could
be operated 10y keys in like manner
to produce scenery or action, or convey
the tender passions of prayer or love

perience in the sobeTest moments OF

Richard Shindel, formerly of this

the Custer battle field at present. | was
up there one Sunday and spent half the
day roaming around. Tourists have
hacked away the stone which marked
the spot where Custer fell and only a
wooden cross stands there now. 1t is
strange that people have such little re-
spect for dead hero. A large monu-
ment stands on the top of hill over
looking the field and on this monument
are engraved the name of all the dead
soldiers. TOmbstOnes are scattered all
around, marking the spot where each
poor fellow fell. One, 1t seems, slmos t
escaped with his life for he lies in the
southeast corner of :he place the die

Tax on Farm Land Slightly Raised.

Tax ON Farm Land Slightly Raised.
Word has been received by officials
at our court house direct from the
Auditor of State to the effect that taxes
have been raised three per cent Oh
Marshall county land. This does not
include the land laid off In cities and
towns. That the per cent is no higher
may be largely attributed to the efforts
of Judge Hess and DIR. Eley who made
a special trip to Indianapolis for the
purpose of appearing before the state
board of tax receivers and arguing our
case. In 1898 when Marshall county
had 40 representatives at that meeting
20 per cent was added to the rate of
taxation.

collars are still in fashionable favor, al
though they are by no means appropriate
to warm weather. Ostrich feathers and
fancy plumage are often introduced, but
fur, which a freak of fashion carried
through the summer several years ago, is
not seen at all this season.
Chemisettes of mousseline de sole, lib
erty satin or lawn with incrustations and
insertions of lace are much worn with
bcleros. A pretty way of bringing the
gown into harmony with different hats is
to have detached choux of taffeta or
mousseline de sole matching the hats,
these choux to be used as adjuncts to the
collar and plastron.
The gown shown in the cut is of plated
pink mousseline de sole over pink taffeta,
drawn in at the waist by belt of pink
satin with long ends. The wrinklcd
sleeves are OF plain pink mousseline over
