A Rain Tree.

A novelty in the vegetable king
dom is native to the United States
of Colombia. In the woods adjacent
to the city of Moyobamba grows a
tree which the natives call Grain
tree" 1t is about fifty feet high
when it reaches maturity and about
three feet In diameter at its base
and has the property Of absorbing
an immense quantity Of humidity
from the atmosphere. This it con-
centrates and subsequently pours
forth from its leaves and branches
in a shower and in such abundance
that in many cases the ground in
its neighborhood is converted into
a veritable bog. It possesses this
curious property in the greatest de-
gree in the summer, when the riv-
ers are at the lowest point and wa
ter is scarce It has been suggested
that this tree be planted in the more
arid parts of Peru for the benefit of
the farmers.

How Some Women Lose Their Money
and Then Blame Thieves.

"Half the thefts that women
charge to pickpockets,' said the re-
formed burglar, "are not thefts at
all, but simply cases of loss from
their own earelessness. Don't tell
them that [ said so, though, for
I've had enough blame to bear in
my day, but that's the truth. Il a
woman goes home and makes hull
labaloo about being robbed she gets
more sympathy, but let her say she
lost her money and she has to Shout
der the whole responsibility and be
found fault with into the bargain
sBut what becomes of the peck
etbooks and purses? They are not
going off of themselves"
Their owners lose them without
knowing it. They lay them down or
drop them, and they are picked up
by somebody who doesn't run
around looking for the person they
belong to. Here is a case in point.
A woman seated herself before a
bargain counter piled with rem
nants of silk. After turning over a
few pieces she felt something fall
into her lap and picked up a fat
leather pocketbook.
'Hello," she says, "here's purse.
1t looks as if it had lot of money
in it" and she handed it to the
clerk, who laid it on shelf back of
him and said he would send it to the
lost and found department..
"When the woman had found the
goods she wanted and went to take
her pocketbook out Of her reticule
it wasn't there, and you ought to
have heard her squeal. She declared
she had it when she sat down to the
counter. But it was gone, sure
enough.
"a store detective was sent for,
and he asked her a few questioHsA
He was friend Of mine, and he told
me the story. Then he asked to
see the purse she had found, and it
turned out to be her own. She had
laid it down the first thing, andS
when it fell into her lap she was SO
she didn't recognize it. NJ
'And I really think that she |
hated to admit that she hadn't been
robbed" = Chicago Record-Herald.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED
Supreme Court Sustains Judgment oE
the Lower Court in Case of
Nucholls VS.. Miller.

In the supreme court at Little
Rock last Saturday Mr.. Justice
Riddick delivered the opinion of
the court in the case of Rhoda
Nuckolls VS.. j I. Miller.
This is an appeal from a judg-
ment in the Independence circuit
court in favor of Rhoda Nuckolls
against j. L. Miller for the sum
of $4,000 in an action for SANDER
and libel. The supreme court held
that the motion for a new trial
was not sufficiently definite to
raise any question as to the admis-
sion or rejection of evidence. The
main question in the case was
whether an action for libel could
be founded on a communication
made to a justice of the peace In
reference to commission of a
crime, but the court held that the
letter of the defendant to the JUS
tice was not an affidavit for the
arrest of any party, nor any state
ment of fact within the knowledge
of the defendant, but only a repe-
tition by him of certain rumors
that he had heard derogatory to-
the character of Miss Nuckolls3
that for this reason the communi-
cation was not absolutely privil-
eyed, and would support an action
for libel where the proof showed
that it was made maliciously and
without probable cause. Judg-
ment affirmed.

MANS RESPONSIBILITY
He Alone is Responsible For the Mis-
use of Any of the Creations
of Providence.
To The Newark Journal:

!
1t seems to be a natural vanity
for all men, regardless of moral
conditions, to conclude that Prov
idence is on their side, or that He
must conform to their require
ments and notions of things. This
is a conclusion made by men of
different degrees of intelligence
and by those of no more moral in
telligence than an unborn babe.
But many people have learned the
important fact that it is much
safer and more satisfactory TO be
on Gods side than to get Him on
our side. And in this connection
] will say that Uncle John is Ger
tainly assuming a position upon
this very ground when he makes
the broad declaration that our wise
Providence made alcohol for a
! good and wise purpose.
Well if we we're To agree to his
proposition, then we could only
conclude that He made a serious
mistake in putting it in the hands
of the Devil and his agences. But
we must understand the fact that
alcohol Is not a created substance.
1t is an invention OF man, and was
invented by the Arabians several
centuries after the Creation. Our
wise Providence is in no way res.
ponsible for the invention or use
of alcohol. neither does He recon-
mend or encourage its use. But
He does point ont in alarming
term the sad consequences OF its
use. 1t is nevertheless true that
God created corn. wheat and rye,
and for good aud wise purposes,
but like many other created
things, they are applied and used
wicSedIy. This proposition would
bring us to consider the divine INV
of Gods sovereignty and man 5
moral agency. Everything, we
must conclude. was created for a
noble purpose, and with the Grea
ton Gods responsibility ceases,
and man moral agency begins,
but we must bear in mind the fact
that mans moral agency is gov
erned by law of right aud
wrong, therefore, we are agents,
and are morally responsible for
the misuse of the things He has
entrusted us with. We are held
accountable for any misuse or un
holy application Of these sub
stances. To illustrate: He has
given US bodies, but we are re-
qulred to preserve them; each or
gan of the body has mission and
each is governed by the law of
