You know that if you were 10 be shut
in an air tight compartment death
would result Of all the necessities of
life you can live longer without any of
them than air. Impure air and dark
ened apartments are the cause of an
untold number OF deaths annually.
You know tLat on sunless day. with
Il close atmosphere, you are out of sorts
at the best, if you are lucky enough to
escape physical ailments. while you are
mentally depressed. But once let the
sun shine brightly and clear the atmos-
phere. and how different, how much
better. you feel in every way.
Cold weather is coming. and when
you are tempted to close up the house
as tight as ii can be made remember
these things and don't do it, especially
at night Keep the windows in the
sleeping apartments open enough to at
least give you sufficient fresh air. A
cold room does not indicate that il is
healthy: far from it. \ sleeper will
soon breathe mp all the fresh air in
room. and if there is not a constant
supply of fresh air lie simply breathes
over and over again the poison thrown
off by his lungs, and the breathing of
this Initiated air only tends TO lower
the temperature and vitality Of the sys-
tenn so that it is not as capable Of with

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
Valuable Territory II brought to the
tinted States.

The upper portion of the Louisiana
purchase was known as the territory OF
Louisiana. 1t comprised all that terri
tory north of the thirty third degree of
latitude. eastward to the Mississippi
and westward and nOrthward as far as
the undetermined boundaries of the
newly acquired possessions might ex-
tend. South of this was the district of
Orleans. with its seat of government
fixed ut New Orleans. The cession of
the upper part of the purchase did not
take place until March 10. 1904, when,
having received the cessiOn from the
Spanish. the French representative
handed it over to the agent of the Unit
ed States with Il very brief and simple
ceremony.
BY these unimpreSSive proceedings
the government of the United States
was put in possession of territory with
in whose boundaries now flourish the
states of Louisiana. Arkansas, Nilsson
ri, Kansas. Iowa. Nebraska. North Da-
kota. South Dakota. Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana. the Indian Territory and
parts of the states of Minnesota and
Colorado. The men who were the ac-
mighty land from one national iursdic-
ton TO another are well nigh forgotten
in the crowd and rush of later but not
less important events. BY this historic
purchase the seat of a mighty empire
was forever established. BY this pur
chase the possibilities of developing
from the republic a world power We're
strengthened. Under our beniGnant
rule comfort. luxury. prosperity and
every variety of material activity fill
the wide spaces in which our fathers
found only trackless wilderness. Com
mon gratitude bids us recall with ac-
claim the names of Jefferson. Living
ston and Monroe, who, building better
than they knew, made this magnificent
transformation possible.-NOah Brooks

HOW HE BECAME A LAWYER
The story of John Sherman's Adj
mission TO the Bar.

mission 10 the Bar.
When John Sherman was quite
young he was taken into the law office
of his brother Charles at Mansfield. o..
TO help about the office and make him
self generally useful One day when he
was in his twenty-irst year he took
Charles one side and quietly asked him
for loan of $50.
What Charles exclaimed. '.What
do you intend doing with so much
money"
Il am going to Columbus to be ad-
mitted to the bar John replied.
Charles was greatly surprised. as
John had never asked him for any ad-
vice regarding the profession nor had
he ever appeared TO be interested TO any
extent in the study of law.
You can't be admitted to the bar
without some knowledge of the law"
said Charles.
John maintained that he knew more
about law than some others and as
sured his brother that he would try to
raise the money somewhere.
You know he added, lit will be
necessary for me to have respectable
clothes and enough money to pay my
travelling and hotel expenses
Charles finally ordered the clothes
and provided him with the necessary
money. At Columbus on the day he
became of age John was admitted TO
the bar On his return he said to
Charles
II am going to Iowa to practice law"
Charles demonstrated with him.
There is room for both of us to prac-
tice law here in Mansfield" Charles
told him.
They then and there became partners
and continued to practice together I'M

party. when John was sent from the
Mansfield district as representative
in congress.
Later he was elected to the United
States senate. and the balance of his
life became very important and in
