The Beautiful Life.

To rise each morning with a thought
of God in the soul, left over to fill
a new mission from the night before;
to kneel ere descending the stairs
for the conservation of your life and
the renewed assurance of His guild
ance of you, just for that day; this
is the true preface of a beautiful life,
says Rev. l. Mench Chambers. Then
to uplift confident and reverent hands
toward some real good, yet unattafned
in character or service, and claim
ing it, to go forth to bring it nearer,
by today's living, than it has ever
come before. This is to unlock Gods
meaning of our innerm0st and deep
est spiritual life.
Each moment will come in some
manner as an exact compliment OF
your prayer and desire, and in these
hours God Himself shall quietly full
fill His thought within the fabric OF
your experience. Thus to live in God,
and TO be assured of His indwelling
in yol, is to mark afresh in a simple
but beautiful manne the footsteps OF
humanity's Christ and hallow life by
the revelation of His presence among
men. TIE crown of the morrow lies
in that approach to the Christ char
acter which a life Of faithfulness to-
day makes real and abiding.

KENTUCKY FEUD|STS GIVE
UP REV0LVERS AND KNIVES
Fear OF Assassination Keeps Wit,
neSSes From Murder Trial.
MARCUM ONCE SAVED BY BABY
Second Trial of Judge James Hargis
Begun in the Mountain Courts
Mrs. Marcum's Story-State's
Witnesses inundated.


B~eattyville, Ky.-All the men
known to be members of the Hargis
or of the Marcum faction we're
searched by the Sheriff's officers for
firearms before they were permitted
to enter court. More than a dozen
revolvers were coniscated and sew
eral long knives taken from the
Breathitt County visitors. B. R.
Jouett made the opening statement
of the prosecutions case in the new
trial of Judge James Hargis and Ed
ward Callahan for the murder of
James B. Marcum. He announced
that many of the States witnesses
had remained away because they
feared assassination, and warned the
jurors that the Hargis-Cockrel feud,
which had disgraced Kentucky,
would continue unless justice were
done.
One incident he promised to prove
was a plot by which it was arranged
that Ton White was to kill Marcum
with a shotgun as he passed the
Hargis store. Marcum passed by
holding his baby in his arms. White,
he said, was upbraided for not shoot
ing and replied that he did not want
to kill the baby. Hargis is quoted
as saying: "You ought to send that
brat to hell with its daddy"
Jouett's statement was dramatic
in tho nytrnnon onI 49, ,4..z L.
drew so vivid that Mrs. Marcum and
other women in the courtroom cried.
Nose Feltner, upon whose testimony
the Commonwealth depends largely,
was the first witness. Feltner told
of many alleged plots against the
life of Marcum, all of which were
1nstigated by Hargis and Callahan,
they agreeing to stand by him."
The witness said he had told Smith
and Abner of an agreement he had
made with Hargis and Callahan to
kill Marcum, but afterward told the
defendants that he would not go
into the plot with B. f. French, who
had been selected by Hargis as his
partner in the contemplated crime.
Mrs. Abrelia Marcum, widow of
the murdered lawyer, was examined.
She told of the various times in
which she saw Curtis Jet, John Abb
ner, John Smith, and Tom White
lurking at places near her home
after Marcum had been warned by
Feltner that they would be at those
places for the purpose of carrying
out the plots of Hargis and Gala
han to kill him. Mrs. Marcum had
seen Smith, Abner and Jet enter
and leave the house of Alexander
Hargis, where the window in one
room was raised about six inches.
Mr. Patrick, a lawyer of Jackson,
saw Curtis Jet enter the side door
of the Courthouse in Jackson and
a few minutes later shots were fired
and Marcum fell dead in front of
the Courthouse. 1t was called to
the attention of the court that
partisans of Hargis and Callahan
were intimidating witnesses for the
prosecution, causing some of them
to leave town. The court announced
that the intimidators would be Sc
verely dealt with.

Cronstadt, Russia. - Admiral Ro-
~jestvensky, who was tried on the
charge of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle of the Sea of Japan
before a court martial here, was &C
quilted after the court had deliber-
ated for nearly ten hours.
Four officers of the torpedo boat
destroyer Bedovi, who were placed
on trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditatively sur-
rendered the Bedovi, and all four
were condemned to death by shoot
