COURT COMES TO HIS RESCUE

Chicago, March 3-After paying
Major William Bell more than $32,-
900 as interest on a lDan OF 81 900
for four years, Charles E. Rand. a
real estate dealer, wanted to "call
the deal of"
To bis surprise he found that
Major Bell still held his checks Tor
81 $50, none Of which had been pre-.
sented to the bank.
Judge Kavanaugh has ordered that
a decree be entered, compelling the
return OF the security and checks, but
denied the petition Tor the return OF
excess interest.
On the last day Of December, 1895,
Chas. Z, Rand borrowed 81 600 from
Major William Bell, father OF Lillian
Bell, the author, and gave his check
Tor 81 200, and took Major Bells for
1915. The former check was not to
be presented at the bank till the PIX
piration OF one week. Before that
time elapsed he found that he would
be unable to pay the check and told
Major Bell SO. The latter loaned
him another check for S957 for one
for 81 200, good one week later.
With the 81 ,0I0 secured on Major
Bells check for 1857 and S43 from
his own pocket he paid his first check
for 81, 900. As the days, weeks and
mouths and years went along. Mr.
Rand still found himself unable to
close up the deal.
Early in January, 1900, Mr.. Rand
alleged, he was informed that Major
Bell had checks signed by him which
had not yet been presented to the
bank, amounting to $3.50, and
that Major Bell also held notes sign.
ed by Rand and his father for 80,
900.
Bell declined to call the deal off, il
is said, except by giving Rand $50
and collecting the money represented
by the notes for $4,000, This Rand
would not agree to, aud as result
he Immediately petitioned the court
to issue an injunction, restraining
Bell from collecting the notes or dis
posing OF the checks.
When the case was heard by Mas
ter in Chancery Victor Eltirg, Ma or
Bell testified that he loaned other
persons at the same approximate
rate as that charged Mr. Rand.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: This is
an age of limitations. particularly of
gems, and the mount of imitation pre-
cious stones on the market is en0r-
NOUS" l am told by w. A. Gill, the
we'll known jeweler, and the assertion
commodities that 1t would require the
services of an expert to determine the
real from the false. With regard to
diamonds, the belief is general that this
Is entirely true, but never did the gen.
cral public entertain a greater error.
There are certain simple tests to
which any n may submit q stone al
legged to be a genuine diamond and de-
termine almost instantly the truth or
diamond will not be acted on by acids
or alkalis In the least. and may be
placed in q liquid containing the SUBJ
stances without injury to 1t. There are
other simpler and easier tests, how
ever. which require nothing in the way
Of testing materials that q person can
not find in any household without the
need Of a visit to the druggist. These.
too. are practically infallible. 1or I have
never heard Of an imitation that would
answer fully to them.
I'm the first place take a small piece
Of silk and rub the alleged diamond
vigorously for q moment. and 1t will
acquire q sufficient amount Of positive
electricity to attract bits Of wool, cot
ton or paper, exactly az a magnet will
attract particles of metal.
I'm the second test place the diamond
In q position where It IL exposed to the
SUMS rays for q while. and then remove
It to Q dark ROOM. II the diamond ID
genuine It will glow In the darkness
with a distinct phosphorescence, but II
It Is imitation 1t will have no phosphor-
escent qualities whatever-will look II
the darkness just like a piece Of glass.
1.-THE third test IL undoubtedly the
best Of the three. The diamond has
only single refrnction: that IL, It givea
but o single image Of any object viewed
through II. When the diamond IL held
before q candle or bright light but the
n light will be visible to the eye
through its substance. An imitation
diamond. no matter how cunningly Il
has been contrived. win give q myriad
Of images. just like a piece Of cut
glass

RE,cNEp AND RElcNlNc.

The principal business OF. this present
world Is man-making. All OF life is a
school for learning how to be full-grown
men and women. Tempttngs-testings-
tryin%gs-develops a mans soul as nothing
else can do. Without them we would re-
main as a child. Every man must wrestle
his w way through to manhood.
Temperance is not to be restricted to
any one department Of character. 1t is q
virtue for all lives and for all Of a life.
and It Is needed everywhere and always.
One man at q time Is Gods way of work.
ing. He does not transform the world In
bulk. New men are his method OF making
a new earth. Only as the righteousness
and glory of temperance are perceived and
practiced by mankind, one by one, does
temperance become operative universally.
When men break away from the dominion
of all lusts. when they become strong in
self-restraint, when soul becomes king
over body. when they yield obedience to
their higher reason n not to their lower
p~assions-then will the earth be trans
formed into the very likeness Of heaven.
Self-restraint. which is temperance. is
q cardinal element In all w~ell-rounded
manhood.
A runaway horse is about. as powerful
for all useful purposes as q man with run
away appetites. Except q man master
his own life. holding It severely in con-
troll. and letting It get beyond him at no
point, he n be q strong man. For a
man cannot reign v his own life II he
let that life be u~nreigned.

WHEN CONSISTENCY IS NOT A
JEWEL.
That code Of honor which makes
possible the duel prevailed at Herod's
palace. The shocking request of Sa-
lone sobered him somewhat; he per-
ceived at ono Its enormity and shrank
from lending himself to the murder nf
a man who. in his sober hours. he XIV
to be only noble and of God. Yet, be-
cause OF his foolish promise. he felt
that he u commit this greater folly.
Herod was as Jealous for his face" as
any Chinaman. AS many a man allows
himself to be swept into bankruptcy
by the same pride In keeping up APP
~pearances." 80 Herod went to his fool
ish deed because he was not manly or
brave enough to own himself mistaken.
Next to the wisdom Of abstainlng from
an evil course is the wisdom OF for
saking 1t when once 1t is entered upon.
Herod's sOul was small n his spirit
craven. so he gave the fatcful order
for h destruction of John the Bap-
fist; thus by his infamy securing an
immortality which links his name for
ever with that of the beheaded prophet.
FRIENDSHIP WHICH STANDS
TESTS.
The friends n man makes tell all
about him that one may care to know.
Herod had nan fiatterers and distin-
guished guests to share his sumptuous
birthday revels, but would he have a
single n to are for his corpse had
disaster suddenly overtaken his life
and his fortunes? Probably 1t would
have been neither Herodias nor Sa-
lone who could be counted upon for
the friendly last Offices. John, OF the
other hand, had friends hon adver-
sity could not ALLEVIATE. They stood by
him ever at the risk of mourning the
persisted to the end; whatever friend
ship could do they did. Even after
Johns death they proved the efficacy
of his friendship and teaching by link
ing their lives to the fortunes Of the
Master whom John approved. They
went and told Jesus their heavy sor-
row and found balm for 1t in his COM
panionship and In his service. Johns
life 10 written In bold, straight lines
which sometimes appear harsh; we see
1t here in softer. tenderer light. The
sort of man John was we may know
from the friends he made. Herod could
cut off his head. but he could not stay
the current Of his life as 1t flowed
| on through those faithful adherents.

eEHEApED ev A COWARD.
This is a story Of one man manliness
thrown into strong relief by another
mans unmanliness. That one was q
penniless ascetic from the wilderness
and the other a king or a throne, but
makes the contrast all the greater. One
We find to be n king in character. and
the other a coward and weakling. 1t

the mistake Of wandering off into the
OF Herods with their relationships

story are all in the text.
HEADS AND CROWNS.
Real crowns, which are at the mercy
OF no cabinet or revolution. are in the
inside Of heads. Herod wore the out

Caesar bestowed. John the Baptist
wore he crow Of character which Is

It n OF the anomalies of life
that the little mar 30 often has the big
one at his mercy-but by hat deed he
cast away his crown and trampled 1t
~ the dust. For only kingly men are
kings. Herod himself paid tribute to
Johns royal soul. He felt that his W
chains and prison and his executioner's
sword could not master this free spirit
who knew not the fear Of man. Johns
reputation outlived him, and It was a
vlndlcation Of his character that when
t1er0d heard OF Jesus, he thought tina
the latter was John come to life again.
Thus the strength of the prophets
name rallied to the support Of the One
who came after. John dead was a ter
ror 20 Herod living. Even his memory
was mighty.
A PREACHER WHO HIT HARD.
John would be called impolitic in
these days. He was not contented to
connne himself to harmless abstrac-
lions. He thought that all Of life was
