Bible Written by Hand.

The most beautiful volume among
the half million in the Congressional
Library at Washington is a Bible
which was Transcribed by a monk in
the sixteenth century, says The
New York Press. 1t could not be
matched to-day in the best printing
office in the world. The parchment
is in perfect preservation. Every
one of its thousand pages is a study.
The general lettering is in German
text, each letter perfect, without a
scratch or blot from lid to lid. At
the beginning of each chapter the
first letter is very large, usually two
or three inches long, and is brightly
illuminated in red and blue ink.
Within each of these capitals is
drawn the figure of some saint, some
incident of which the CHAPTER
tells. There are two columns on
page and nowhere is traceable the
slightest irregularity of line space or
formation of letters. Even under a
magnifying glass they seem flawless.
This precious volume is kept under a
glass case, which is sometimes lifted
to show that all the pages are as
perfect as the two which lie open.
A legend relates that young man
who had sinned deeply became a
monk, and resolved to do penance
for his misdeeds. He determined to
copy the Bible that he might learn
every letter of the divine commands
which he had violated. Every day
for many years he patiently pursued
his task. Each letter was wrought
in reverence and love, and the pa
tient soul found its only companion
ship in the sanity faces which were
portrayed on these pages. When
the last touch was given to the last
letter the old man reverently kissed
the page and folded the sheets TO-
gether. The illustrated initials in
perfection of form and brilliancy of
color surpass anything produced in
the present day. With all our
boasted progress nothing in Europe
or America equals it.

An Indian a CannIbaI.

Duluth, Mimi, March 15.-Gust
Brandon, who has been "crushing"
between Tower and Koechiching, ar
rived here last night and confirmed
the reports Of cannibalism on the
Leech Lake reservation. Brandon
was near Pelican Lake at the time it
was asserted that an Indian had
killed and eaten his wife and child.
Two days later Brandon met a small
party of Boise Fort Indians who
were on their way to the west end of
Vermillon Lake. From these In
dians Brandon learned of the killing,
and he says his information is au-
thentic. He was told that the Indian
who committed the horrible deed
was shiftless. During spree he
killed both his wife and child, and
later devonred parts of their bodies
to avert starvation. A party was
sent to the Indians cabin at once
and bring him to Leech Lake.

Should Raise More Foodstutts.

"Many people do not realize the
immense demand for foodstuffs in
and around Anderson" said leading
grocer yesterday.
"There is at all times q steady
demand for groceries of every kind"
he continued, "and the demand is
constantly increasing. My trouble
is not to sell goods, but to keep a
full stock on hand. This especially
applies to vegetables, and to chickens
and eggs, and the lighter meats.
81 am surprised that more of the
farmers of the county do not pay
more attention to truck and stock
farms. We are never able todepend
even to any great extent on the local
supply. Here this week lam buying
turnips from Cincinnati, cabbage
from Florida, potatoes from Maryland
and peas from the eastern part of
this State. All of these things ought
to be raised here in Anderson-they
will certainly grow as we'll here as
auywhere-and the farmers would
make more money out of them than
cotton even at Is cents.
-,"Take chickens. There is never
enough to satisfy the demand. Eggs
mover get below Is cents now, and
generally the price is above that
figure. None of the dairies around
the city are able to supply their
demand, and only a few days ago
they advanced their prices. There
is big money in truck farming, but
not a great many of our farmers
seem to realize it, and as result we
are sending lot of money out of
the county that ought to be kept at
home.-Daily Mail.

Dominick left behind wife and two
small children. Until the elopement
no intimacy between Dominiok and
the girl, who is just 16 years old,

The elopement was planned very

that the pair had been gone nearly a
week before the matter was known.
Dominick, in connection with his
father, runs farm of 25 plows, and
Oswald Bishops the father of his de-
serted wife, runs farm about five
miles away. Garry Bishop, the girl
with whom Dominick eloped, had
told her parents that she was going
TO spend week with her uncle who
lives about five miles in another di-
rection. 1t was not until Saturday
that it was learned by her parents
chat she had not gone to her uncle's
and that Dominick himself was miss
ing from the community. 1t was
then discovered that the horse and
buggy were in possession of negro
and that Dominlck and the girl had
tagged the train down between Dy-
sons and Chappells and had told
the negro to come back for them the
next day. The negro had gone back
every day since and had not seen
them.

fight between employers and unions
in various branches will be resumed

unless the men accept the proposition
to work under arbitration agreement
the employers will shut down to-
night and refuse to recognize the
union and only employ men as indi-
viduals. Eight thousand building

smiths and bridge builders, i've hun

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
