The skyles Case.

The Jackson correspondent OF the
Times Democrat saYss
The prospects are said By lawyers TO
be very bright for areversaI Of the case
against Rev. Jean Skyles, on appeal from
Claiborne couuty. Rev. Skyles 10 the
much married minister who received q
sentence Of ten years for bigamy at the
last term OF the circuit court. The
ground on which he relies, and which
stands a chance OF being successful, is q
very unique one. He was indicated for
marrying Mise Teresa Whetsous sf that
county while he had still living lawful
wife 10 the person OF Ross Pitts Of Ar
kansas. The tact that bis attorney took
was to plead for delay On the grsund
tkat Rosa Pitts was not bis lawful wife
at the time charged, but that be had q
previous wife named, Pattie Morris liv-
ing In Texas. In order te secure trial,
II IL stated that The district attorney
admitted, a. matter OF evidence, that
the legal wife with The msideu name
OF Pattie Mofris was sIilI extaut 10 Tex
az. The effect OF that admission is
to present The question before The Sup
RENE court In this light. He Is indict-
ed for marrying Miss WhelsOns while be
had lawful wife living In the person
OF Rosa Pitts OF Arkansas, bat The admit
ted and undispuIed testimony Is that
Rosa Pitts was not his lawfHl wife By
reason Of the existence of The lawfully
married Texas woman, consequent y
the Indictment, which does not refer to
the latter, Is defective. II will, OF course
probably be easy to 6nd new indicl-
ment against him, IS the matter stands

Helpine One Another.

So far as our duties are concerned,
we cannot live our lives in isolation.
Our duties ray out in every direction.
We are dependent upon others; others
are dependent upon us. In doing our
own part in life we are sure to help
some one else do his part. If our work
Is of no benefit to society, it cannot
benefit us in the highest and best sense.
But who of us gives so much to society
as we really get? If our duties bind us
to our fellows, we are also bound by
our sorrows and our sympathies. If
there are those who, like the Pharisees,
put heavy burdens upon other mems
shoulders and will not tighten them,
there is, thank heaven, host of 9TH
ers who are seeking to tighten the
heavy laden. This is shown in hours
Of sorrow as well as in hours of toll.
There is nothing more beautiful and in
spring than to see how a community
may bear up with buoyant sympathy
some afflicted, sorrow stricken soul.
The consultations of God are great, but
He often reveals them through the con-
solutions of man.-Christian Register.

20 train the infant from it's first year
to its fifth, as they are later. Nothing
should and nothing can separate the
child from its mother, but 1t is not re-
garded as a separation when the child
goes to the kindergarten, to the prepar-
atory school and the college.
children are at the mercy Of anna
teur mothers, and we are only begin
ming to realize that motherhood is a Sc
rious profession that requires deep and
careful study. Nine-tenths of society
even now laugh at the one-tenth that
is making a study Of it,
Speaking on some of the woes of
housekeeping, Mrs. Gilman had this to
say:
Housekeeping would be less trou-
blesome If people did not undertake to
keep private museums. Much of the
extravagant and needless ornamental
ton of homes will disappear as women
get into a larger life.
'"There must be change in the meth
cd of living. Eating is made too much
of. The family cook stove is regarded
as the family altar, and women waste
time, money and health in a vulgar
display Of unnecessary food. We cater
to the stomach without even keeping
1t healthy. Cooking should be special
lied into a business, and taken out of
our houses as laundry work and the
making of clothing are, to great ex-
tent"

BEAUTiFYING THE HOME.


Some Things That Good Taste De-
mands In Furnishing "A Room.
If you would have the semblance of
good taste in furnishing room, elm
mate the following: Papered ceilings,
pale, characterless colors; the insipid
pinks and blues, violets and green's,
that the calciminers are addicted to;
Nottingham lace curtains, Grapes,
tides, meaningless bows of ribbon tied
on various objects, frilled or hounced
lamp shades, plush sets, stationary rock
ers, folding beds, mantel lambrequins,
and one might add burned wood arti-
cles, popular as they have been.
While art in any form and in any
place has its mission to perform, yet it's
greatest service is rendered in the
home. Costly furniture and statuary,
museums and beautiful parks appeal to
us when we visit them, but their influ-
ence is as nothing compared with the
surroundings of our everyday life. The
identifying of the home is therefore
necessity; it is more, it is duty. No
longer are we content with plain walls,
bare floors and ugly furniture. We de-
mand that our places of abode shall not
only be comfortable in their appoint
ments, but that they shall be attractive
in all that the term implies.
Taste is Unborn in some people and is
acquired by others. Some never pos
sess it. You cannot expect to find an
inartistic person living in an artistic
home, or vice versa, for ones home
should and usually does reflect the
tastes of its owner.
The presence of pictures, of artistic
but not necessarily expensive furni-
ture, of tasteful decorations on the
walls, of flowers on the mantel or table.
In the living rooms of the house, have
cheering effect upon the tired eye and
the tired brain. The dearest place or
earth should be the home; therefore
anything that enhances its beauty and
thus adds to its attractiveness should
be secured.
Rare rugs, statuary and paintings
from the hand of a master, bronzes
from French studios, carpets from the
most artistic looms, may not be within
the means of all who would have their
had they the wealth with which to buy
them, but in these days, when our
youths are taught art from the cradle
up and when machinery and mechanic
al devices are made to supplement
hand labor in the production of artistic
things for the home, it is possible for
all who so choose to make the home
beautiful at a moderate cost, and it Is
their duty to themselves and to their
families to do so.-Brooklyn Citizen.

EPWoRTH LEAGUE.
Topic For the Week Beginning Feb.
i, "Self Mastery or Slavery"
Text, Cor. tx, 24-27.

Every athletic contest emphasizes the
necessity for training. Efficiency new
er comes by accident. Proficiency is
had only by continued exercise. Skill
in the use Of any power, whether Of
body, mind or spirit, can be had only
by continued application. 1t is need
full, first Of all, to learn how thing
ought to be done. Then there must be
the repeated attempts to do it until it
can be once done properly. Repeated
doing correctly will give ease, facility,
accuracy and rapidity.
This is the only path to victory,
whether in football, study, work or
Christian grace.
Mastery over the temper can be had
only by restraining the angry word
when provoked. 1t is useless to ask to
be delivered from all irritation and
provocation. That never will cure a
quick temper.
A horse will never be cured of shying
by tying up in the stable. No muscle
ever grows strong by inactivity. An
ak or hoe is better for developing an
arm than sling can possibly be. A
hammock may rest a sprinter after a
run, but running alone can make him a
good runner. If you want to be good
Christian, make up your mind to work
at it.
Many are heard to say, II want to
love God better; want to serve Him
more faithfully" That is good as far
as it goes, but if it never goes any far
Their it is no better than a pauper wish
ing to be multimillionaire and only
wishing. The gift of prayer is more
than facility in talking 1t comes after
long exercise of the soul in communion
with God. Who does not recognize the
vast space which lies between the soul
which can pray with fervor, JUNCTION,
assurance, humility and holiness and
one who pours out string Of words?
Paul describes his own efforts in
Christian living as If he was boxer
preparing for the great athletic games
of his times. He smites himself to
keep the soul in mastery over the
body. What need there is at the pres
ent time of this robust, resolute Chris
tan living! The seeking for recreation
which is emphasized as so necessary
under our modern conditions of society
can do little toward toning up the
moral life. How robust Christian ex-
perience does any one get who fire.
quents the theater more than the pray
er meeting? No crew ever was trained
for victory in rowing by indulgence of
appetite, but by rational use of it.
No more will any one in Christian
life acquire self mastery except by ex-
ercise of rational control and continu-
GUS use of all God given powers. We
must think and speak and do the right
and keep ever at it.
