Charles Coypeau. Sieur d'Assouci, &
french poet and musician of the sew
enteenth century, relates in one of his
"Aventures' that his father and moth
err were one day engaged in a discus
sion upon questions of law when dis
pute arose between them with regard
to the precise Specification and bearing
of provision in Justinian's code with
respect to the rights of brothers. Ulti-
mately the quarrel waxed so furious
that the disputants lost all control OF
themselves. defied each other to single
combat and proceeded to settle their
difference and determine the mind of
the ancient legislator by a fight with
swords.
This singular duel took place in their
sons presence. Coypeau pere was an
advocate by profession and a member
of one of the French parliaments
Madame was exceedingly diminutive
and had to wear exceptionally high
pattens to approach the ordinary stat
ure of women, but she was fierce and
domineering in temper. The combat
appears to have been a drawn battle,
and the sense of Justinian remained as
obscure and debatable as ever.

BARRIERS and stationary engineers are
included in the list. Then there are
bills providing for Sunday closing and
the sanitary regulations of barber

shops and merchandise stores, and one

no workmen shall be employed who
are not citizens of the United States
and residents Of New Jersey; also an
act providing that no person under
sixteen years of age shall be allowed
to work in any manufacturing estab-
lishment unless able to read and write
the English language.

the days when he was practicing law
in Boise City was on a certain occa-
sion sternly reprimanded by the
Judge Of a court in that city be-
cause Of alleged contempt of court
and in addition was fined in the sum
of $50. The next day, according to
a custom followed in the Idaho
courts, the judge called upon Mr..
Dubois to occupy the bench for him
during the transaction Of some COM
paratively unimportant business.
After the judges departure from
the court room Mr.. Dubois exhibit
ed an instance of that remarkable
presence of mind for which he has
ever been noted. The future senator
said to the clerk of the court :
'Turning to the record of this court
for yesterday, Mr.. Clerk, you will
observe recorded fine Of $50
against one Frederick t. DUBOIS
You will kindly make a note to the
effect that such fine has been re-
mitted by order Of the court. ~

Postal Checks.

Extract from report of Postmaster
General Henry G. Payne for 1903:
The rapid extension of the rural
free-delivery service increases the de-
mand that the Government shall pro-
vide some easy, convenient, and safe
method for the transmission of small
sums of money through the mails, and
/ urge upon Congress the Importance
of passing some law which will insure
to our people this advantage at an
early date as possible.
AS the rural free-deliyery service has
been extended the number of letters
carrying small amounts of currency
has greatly increased. At present
there is no convenient method pro-
vided in the rural districts for making
such remittances through the mails
except in currency or postage stamps,
and such currency and stamp remit
tances are a constant temptation to
those handling them.

Identification with their superiors an
authority they could not otherwise ex-

sires His, these objects those on which
His heart is set. We have His sane

When we ask favor in the name of

VIII Test the Game Law

Isaac Angle, of Vail, Warren county,
who was fined sl20 and costs for capt
uring and selling six rabbits, is still in
the county jail. He refuses to pay the
fine and he is therefore likely to re-
main in confinement until spring. Ac-
cording to the Blairstown Press, a
movement is under way in that part
of the county to raise a fund for the
purpose of meeting the expense of
carrying the Angle case to a higher
court in order that the constitutions
atty of that section of the game law
may be passed upon by Supreme
Court Justice.

EPWoRTH LEAGUE.

Jan. 24t eff Christ Should Come to
Our n.T--John iv, 2s-3Oy 30-42.
Has He not come: Is He not ever
coming? He may often be unrecog-
nzed. for He must be sought to be
known. He is at Jacobs we'll, where
our ancestors found refreshment. You
will need to go there if you would see
Him.
If He should come!
His intimate friends might wonder at
what He would do. While they are
busy getting dinner and fixing things
He might refuse to eat and might do
things contrary to all their notions of
propriety 1t would be embarrassing.
He would companion with people to
whom we would not dare be seen to
speak. While we were thinking of our
physical comfort He would be setting
before some starved life the rich things
of His Fathers providing and arousing
appetite in them and feeding the new
hunger.
If He should comei
He would tell her all she did.
Not all the details and incidents Of
the long course of wrongdoing. That
would be worse than waste of time.
He would show her what it all meant
in waste of life when He set before her
in clear light all the beauty and charm
of the better way. He would show her
the loathsomeness of the evil until her
soul would recoil, and all this by the
opening of the vision of Gods purity.
When she caught the glimpse of His
glory and true worship in spirit and
truth she saw what she had done She
never knew before what it meant. The
well was deep, deeper than that into
whose depths she had so often lowered
her earthen pitcher for filling. He
knew the ''abyssmal depths of person
atty" And He had wherewith to draw
from them something better than ''sore
despair
He knew the hidden springs long
choked by worldliness and lust and was
able to touch them until they should
pour out thu waters of everlasting life.
Where the life seemed hopelessly bad
He had found possibilities of purity and
started into action the powers of good
ness.
If He should comel
He would set feet and tongues in mo-
ton.
She forgot her usual work, the time
of day, the water pitcher and all the
old mode of life and went into the city
to find her friends. Come and see a
man who told me what l have been do
! ingr' They had understood all along
what-her life meant and knew she was
blind. Something has happened surely
| if man has told her what she did.
| Can this be the Christi" she asks.
Come and see Him. Can it be any
but the Christ who could so change
her: Surely they will go. Work, din
ner, everything is left, and they CO.
Feet and tongues are active. And these
are Samaritans. sinners, the defiled and
ungodly!
What can the disciples say or do?
Deflement is imminent if this crowd
presses around the Master, and is not
dinner ready and the time past for eat
ing and we all tired and hungry? And
here comes that woman also! Master,
eat. They speak out, but fail to gain
their purpose. He will talk with her
and the people whom she brings. And
4 they believe Him to be the Christ, not
because of what He told her, but they
have heard Him themselves.
DO you wish He would come?
What would you do if He should
/ come?
/ Why not do it now and see if He has
not been coming and is here?

Preceding the Light.

1t is important to wait the moment
of God to correct others. We may see
real faults, but the person may not be
in a state to profit by being told his
faults. 1t is not wise to give more
than one can receive. This is what |
call preceding the light the light
shines so far in advance of the person
that it does not benefit him. Our Lord

bear them now Nine. Guyon.
