happiness? Does it not afford the best
evidence that August Flower is sure

five years in curing the ailing millions of
these distressing complaints success

LEFT OUT THE WORD "NoT-
Marrow Escape OF One of LaFCllette's
Measures from Being Practically
Worthless.

Madison, Wis, May 29.-The omis-
sion of the little word mot in the en-
crossed copy of the bill passed by the
senate creating a commission to con-
troll and supervise railway rates makes
the commission practically powerless.
Section 33 OF the new law was intend
ed to read that they 1.-THE orders of the
commission making ratesl shall not be
declared imperative, illegal or void for
any omission of a technical nature in
respect thereto
AS the blu wasactually passed by the
senate itprovides that the commissions
rulings shall be declared imperative,
ETC., for any omission of a technical
nature in respect thereto" The mistake
was discovered by merest accident by
a member of the railroad committee,
and had it not been noticed the bill
would have become law and the rail-
way commission would have been
shorn of its power. The situation now
calls for the repassage Of the bill in the
senate with the word mot back in the
section where it belongs.

MALE CARRIEEATlCN
Old Soldier Takes His Little Hatchet and
Reduces to Scraps His Sons
"FSlind Tiper"

Nashville, Ind, May 81. = Ralph
Lane, an old soldier, took an ak and
knocked the 'blind tiger saloon, oper-
ated by his son Alva. into kidding
wood. Alva Lanes GROCERY was on
a lot adjoining his fathers residence in
the southwest corner of town. An old
stable had been rugged up in 'blind
tiger" fashion, by Alva and adjoining
the stable there was a ''bull pen" in
which the thirsty drank their beer
without attracting the attention of the
public
All this was Objectionable to Alva's
father, Ralph Lane, who protested in
vain. Finally he settled the matter by
taking an ak and wrecking both the
''bull pen" and the ''blind tiger and
smashing the bottles. Several members
of the Ladies' Church Auxiliary So
ciety, which is leading the anti-saloon
crusade, watched the demolition of the
structures

The Shining Face of Moses.

All down through the ages mis-
take has been perpetuated as to the
meaning of the Hebrew word ''karan,'
ito emit rays like horns" It is the
word used in Exodus xxxiv, 20, to
describe the shining face of Moses aft
er he had talked with the Lord. The
Septuagint translated it into Greek,
''his head was horned" So all through
the middle ages and the period Of great
Italian art the Vulgate had it (whence
Michael Angelo and other artists got
the idea, Angelo giving to Moses two
f1amelike locks of hair on the head;
the Cranmer Bible and the DOuay
Catholic English Bible continued the
queer error King James version at
last got it right, 1.-THE skin of Moses
face shone, and Moses put the veil
upon his face" etc.

COaIing the SUN.

Coaling the sun is an expression used
by physicists to indicate the necessity
Of renewing the stock of motive power,
exactly analogous to coaling vessel
for an ocean journey. Many maintain
that this is done by the incessant show
ers of meteorites which rain in upon it
from celestial space. Thus it is that
the suns energy is continually kept up
and it's fires are fed Atom after atom
is changed into vapor and adds it's
quota of energy to the great central
storehouse-in fact, "coals the SUM-"

Didn't Have to Pay Rent.

This is said to be how William Wal
dori Astor gave the order for the fine
Offices built for the Pail Mall Gazette:
Mr.. Astor was signing checks one
morning and was Informed that one of
them was for office rent. He laid
down his pen and remarked: ''Well, I
must pay taxes and other expenses,
but need not pay rent. If it pays an
other man to erect a building and rent
it to me. then it will pay me. Now"
turning to his right hand man, make
arrangements for new offices. I don't
want to hear anything more about it
for a year." And SO the offices were
built.

In mythology Parnassus, mountain
in central Greece, was sacred to the
muses.. The Delphian sanctuary of
Apollo was on it's slope and from be-
tween its twin summit peaks flowed
the fountain Castalia, the waters OF
which were reputed to impart the vir-
tue of poetic inspiration. The highest
peak, S,O68 feet, was held sacred to
Bacchus and the rest to Apollo and the
muses-whence the saying of young po-
cts climbing Parnassus."

an ideal United States citizen. Con-
