Just why the Supreme Court should solemnly cite

search for sufficient reasons To be sure the editor

where there was no danger the Supreme Court has
lost trife in public opinion. Under the Sherwood
decision in the boycott it that the Court
has missed the spirit if the letter Of the law of

1.-THE influence Of the modern newspaper" says the
Nashville American, lis to cause more people to
think. This is generally true, but occasionally,
in the case of the Republican papers of Missouri at

their attitude toward Joseph W Folk? In this in

IN the hearts OF the HIS of Life know
Two springs that with unbroken flow
Forever pour their lucent streams
Into my souls far Lake of Dreams
Not larger than two eyes, they lie
Beneath the many changing sky.
And mirror all of life and time
Serene and dainty pantomime.
Shot through with lights of stars and dawns
And Swallowed sweet by ferns and fawns
Thus heaven and earth together vie
Their shining depths to sancufy

At o'clock next morning we landed
on the rocks and found the nets all

along a big squirt-gun and a large jar
of chloroform, and when all was ready

HUNTING QUEER PREY.

We had gone out to the Solidar Reefs.
fifty miles to the south of Ceylon, to
capture if possible a living specimen of
the octupus or devil-fish for the Bonn
bay Museum. After arriving md an
choring the bark a safe distance from
the reefs we pulled in with the yawl to
look for signs of the prey we We're
after.
We had been pulling to and fro over
the reefs. when on the second day of
our search we came upon a spot
where the bed of the channel was al
most INSTRUCTED with the bones OF
fish and turtles. We knew by these
signs that we had come upon the lair
of devil fish and without waiting to
make a closer investigation f. OF the To-
cality we marked the spot and pulled
away for the bark.
The Malabar Coast fishermen we
had brought along with us were Ger
tain from the great deposit of bones
that the spot had been the haunt OF
an octupus for a long time, and that
we should find him of the largest size.
We might have developed him then
and there as we had every reason to
believe that he was lat home" in
shallow cave at the base of a big
rock, but we had orders not TO go too
close.
Next morning two boats approached
the rock from opposite sides. and Pro-
fessor Grimshaw, who had charge of the
expedition, landed to make a close in

silently as possible, and the professor
removed his boots before landing.
There was no danger of the octupus
running away if he was there. but We
had some plans to lay in advance At
ter some spying about he was located
in the cavern spoken of, and the pro-
fessor was dismayed at the size of the
creature. He had counted five great
tentacles. and the bulk of the octupus
was that OF big barrel. 1t was de-
cided that its feeding time would be
about high water, and at low water it
might come out to lie on the rocks or
swim in the channel 1t was FOR low
water we waited, and before the tide had
run out we landed on the rock again
and stretched two large fish nets across
it ard weighted them at the corners
with stones TO prevent them being car
ried away.
In the channel we stretched other
nets. and at dead low water we hauled
off to see If anything would occur.
Something did. The octopus decided
to take q little ramble, and he came
down channel toward our fiotilla. Wnen

Now and then there was shiver the

to stand back while the professor re-

octopus regain consciousness. When all
was ready we put planks under the body

Treating" Forbidden by Law.

The custom of bar room treating
has often been made responsible for
habits of intemperance. 1t has been con-
tended, with a good show of reason, tina [
treating may lead TO mans drink
ing at a bar very much more than he
would have consumed otherwise, very
much more than is good for him and
for everybody who comes in contact
with him.
Accordingly, many years ago rather
unsuccessful attempts were made in
certain Of our clubs to put ban on the
practice. yet IN tie natural progress of
