in so much cold wet weather.
They say it is caused by having a
left banded moon which will con-
tinue with us for eight months.
This kind of a moon occurs every
forty years. We do not know if
their theory is we'll founded or
authenticated, but we do know
that this is the first time we have
ever heard of such a moon. If
any of your readers are wiser
than we on the workings of such
a moon, we would be glad to have
some information along this line.
We confess that if this moon is to
continue with us eight months and
give US its usual freaks in the
weather through the summer, we
are at loss what kind of crops
to plant as we have not had any
experience in farming In left
handed moons or arctic regions.
If the fool-k is out of a lob
in other portions of the world he
can find some good material in
this part, not only in left handed
moon cranks but in other things
just as absurd. We may ue fit
subject for his wrath, as we ac-
kno ledge we have played the
fool a good many times, but
when we see our folly we haye
always been willing to admit of
the, foolishness, and thereby be
subject for pardon, but some are
so far gone, that they are blind
in their folly and will die In their
foolishness.
Rev. r. D. Perry made his
last visit as pastor to Six Mile and
Beulah churches last Sunday. He
gave his people some wholesome
instructions in we'll chosen words
in their parting as pastor and
people. We have often reflected
in studying the parting words of
these messengers of life, and their
efforts in trying to get their peo.
pie aroused IN the great battle of
truth against sin and folly, and
we have been painfully impressed
with a want of appreciation by
those to whom they so faithfully
directed their labors.
There was meeting of those

His identification of Lowe is positive,
his identification of Jesse is not so
positive, but it amounts practically to
an identification.
The defense claims that it would be
easy for the police to fix up story
like the one Lowe told and have it
agree with these witnesses. The
police knew how the robbery was
done, they talked with all who had
seen or heard the robbery or the rob
bers and then simply got Lowe, who
was undtr arrest, to make his story
conform 30 facts as they existed and
to put Jesse James into his story as a
part of it.
A theory OF many of the friends of
Jesse James is th, vt Lowe was N the
'oobery; that he and Ryan and Ken

ARBITRATION.

London. May 22.-The Daily News
publishes dispatch from The Hague,
supposed TO be inspired by Mr.. Will
liam I. Stead, editor of the Review of
Reviews, which is in part as follows:
Regarding arbitration the present
positions of the delegates seems to be
this: Germany and the other two
powers of the triple alliance are entire
~ against it and Turkey follows in
their wake. Great Britain and the
United States are entirely in favor of
it. Prof. Won Stengel of the German
delegation said, today: Arbitration is
impracticable when two nations are
divided by vital issue, in less impor-
tant questions it exists already.
France is hesitating and will probably
agree with Russia. Sevaral delegates
confessed that they came to the confer
