Some Curious Prophecies.

mentioned in the Bible are TO be poured
out upon the earth in short time and
they look for bloOdshed, for disaster and
for all manner of evil Immediately be-

years of peace. 1t is asserted that those
gathered in Benton Harbor will escape
all the trouble and wrath and will come
out unscathed from the fiery trials to
be given the remainder of the earth.

arranged for the purpose into six row S,

method OF manipulating language with
view to concealment. This is clear
from what happened recently in one
OF the central prisons. Word had
gone round to protest, not only against
an excess OF heavy work, but against
the bad quality of food supplied to the
prisoners, and the protest was to take
the form OF refusal to perform the
usual tasks on the men being called
together after breakfast.
Somehow or other the governor OBJ
tanned the message as it had been
raped through all the walls, but he
took 1t literally as plot to break

so he armed the whole of the warders

to prevent the assembly on the NOR.

fetal effect upon the discipline OF the
prison, for the convicts obtained not
only immediate immunity from the
heavy tasks to which they had not
been accustomed, but afterward en-
joyed better food and more humans

A Memory OF Boyhood.

Where "Old Probs'' fronts the sky,
Come birds on timorous feather
With callow pipe and cry.
You see them faint and strafnlng
Our coign of vantage gaining.
They wheel and poise disdainlng,
And pretty tactics try.
Gray tattered clouds are driftins
SO tranquil through the air.
The sunshine's splendor sitting
That filters golden share.
His yellow rays are cleaning,
Rich barbaric jewels streaming,
Some splendid spendthrift seeming.
And tossing tawny hair.
There snarls Chicago's river,
Coiling with foul scorpion spite.
Black. seething currents shiver
Where dead men lurk at night
Winding like a serpent creeping
To sting fond tender dove.
Her girlish vigil keeping
And yearning for her love.
Like some vast emerald etching
The rolling prairie seems
Some green Siberia stretching
All drenched in golden CLEANS.
The sapphire sky smiles tender.
All fiecked with aerial foam.

A number of people in the vicinity
of Pendleton, Ore, have recently been
bunceed by couple of sharpers,
whereby the people have been induced
to sign notes which in effect are for

were giving notes for $l5 each.
The contract notes were for the de-

taken for the machine and 30 discs and
the purchaser presumed they were get
ting the entire outfit for $50. How
ever, the contract was so worded that
it read $15 each, thus bringing the to-
tai to 1915. The word each" was at
the opposite end of the contract from
the amount, and the latter was in

CREATION OF COUNTIES ILLEGAL
Idaho Court Holds That New Counties
We're Improperly Formed.

ludnO SOuTt IlOluS nat view SOuHNiSS
We're Improperly Formed,
Idaho's legislature may create new
counties, but has not the power to abol-
ish old counties, is the substance of the
decision of the supreme court of Idaho
Monday afternoon in declaring that
the action of the last Legislature in
creating the new counties of Lewis and
Clark was unconstitutional and void.
The views of the court were given
from the bench, the written opinion
not having yet been filed.
This means a complete victory for
Rathdrum, which had been making a
hard fight to retain the county seat of
Kootenai county, which was abolished
by the act of the legislature, the terri
tory being taken to make the new
counties.
The court holds that although the
legislature may create new counties
from parts of old ones, it can not abol-
ish the old county nor deprive any
place of the county seat. In the state
of Idaho the county seat may be re-
moved only by a vote of the people,
and the court declares that the lCgisla-
ture can not do indirectly what it has
not the power to do directly.

AGELIMIT ARGUMENT
GOVERNMENT CHEMIST AGREES
WITH DIR. OSLER.
That a Man is Old at 40 and His Abil.
ity Ceases at 60 Years Of Age-Dr.
Wiley Holds Out Consolation Of
Science for Future-He Tells All
About II.

No statement made in recent years
by any member of the medical frater-
nifty created as much discussion in the
public press as the recent declaration
by DR.. Osler that a man is old at 40
and his utility ceases about the age
of 60, according to medical science.
Because of the many exceptions TAX
en- TO this so called medical heresy
enunciated by the famous specialist.
few members of the medical frater-
nifty have dared to express themselves
along similar lines. even though they
looked upon the Osler theory as con
tanning many elements of truth.
DR. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the
government chemical bureau and a
personal friend of DR.. Osler in an in
teryiew the other day Endorsed the
Osler theory that man is oldat 40 and
his utility ceases at 60, but added that
science is already working to increase
the span of human life and in a few
years a man may be 80 years of age
and still be young. While indorsing
the theories of DR.. OsIer, DR.. Wiley
holds out the consolation of science
| for the future.
rs the average man old at 60? II
is regrettable but nevertheless true.
said Dr. Wiley. "The average man at
60 today is laid on the shelf. The veins
in his body have hardened and that is
the real sign of age. AS long as man S
rated, tissues are builded up as quick
ly as they decay and fear of death
need have no terrors; but when the
blood vessels harden, one of them is
apt to snap at any time, and this. in
vast number of cases. is the cause
of death today"
