On famo or place title bent

For "Wrongs' which mo true freedom mar,
Which no mans upright walk control,
And from no guiltless deed debar?
What odds though tonguesters heal, or leave
Unhealed, the grievance they invent?

The stars OF heaven free because
In amplitude OF liberty
Their JOY Is to obey the laws
From servttude to freedoms name
Free thou thy mind in bondage pent;

And In appropriate dust be hurled
That dull. punctious god, whom they

With minds to one dead likeness blcnt.

To hug the wealth We cannot use,
And lack the riches all may gain,-

Who house the craft and burn the grant
And still doth life with starry towers

Be yours the things ye would: be ours
The things that are more excellent
The grace OF friendshp-mnd and heart
Linked with their fellow heart and mind
The gains OF science, gifts of art;
The sense Of oneness with our kind;
The thirst to know and understand
A large and liberal discomfort:
These are the goods in LIES rich hand,
The things that moro excellent

A rapturous silence thrills the skies;
And on this earth are lovely souls,

Though dark, 0 God, Thy course and track,

Washington, April l6.-The supreme
court of the United States has dis
missed the writ of error in the case
of former United States Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson of Colorado, il.
which the senator was fined $1,000 by
the Colorado supreme court on the
charge of contempt. The action has
the practical effect of affirming thu
decision of the Colorado courts. The
opinion In the case was delivered by
Justice Holmes, who said in effect that
the court was without Jurisdiction
Justice Harlan delivered dissenting
opinion. Justice Brewer also dissent
ed from the decision, holding that the
court was not without jurisdiction.
The proceedings against Senator
Patterson grew out of the Colorado
supreme courts decision. in election
cases following the acrimo 'ous state
campaign of 1904 The senator is the
principal owner of the Denver Times
and the Rocky Mountain News, both
Denver daily papers, and the contempt

The Onion Eater.

"Most Of u.s." said man who eats
plenty Of onions, "eat too much meat
and grease and butter and bread and
not enough vegetables, and the conse-
Quence is our systems get clogged up
with grease and starch, our livers get
out Of order and we grumble at our
wives, and scold our children, and fuss
when the baby cries, and quarrel with
the street car conductors, and get into
rows at the Office and lose our jobs,
not because we are naturally sulky or
quarrelsome, but because we are bill
ious. Why are we bilious? Because
we don't eat onions. You never saw q
dyspeptic man eating onions. He
thinks they are poison, but, in fact,
they are the medicine that he most
needs. Whenever you see an onion
eater you see a whole souled, open
hearted, jolly good fellow, who knows
what he ought to eat to keep him good
humored. Talk about the staff Of life,
why, bread Is only crutch. There Is
more nOurishment In an onion than
there Is In a roll. The onion lovers
keep the world moving, to say nothing

POSTAL DUTY PARAMOUNT
Men In Service Should Not Belong to
Militia.

Washington, April 16.-That the
duty to the government Of postofice
clerks and carriers who are members
Of militia companies is paramount to
that of their military service, except
at critical times, Is the decision of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock regarding the employees of
the postoffice at Lorain, o., on strike
duty with Company B Of the Ohio
national guard. The postmaster ac-
cordingly has been notified to have
Captain A. F. Cove and Sergeant Phin-
ney either return to work Immediately
or resign their positions.
An investigation into affairs at Lo-
rain led the department to the con-
clusion that no such crisis exists
there as to warrant the granting of
leave of absence to those men Of the
postoffice doing militia duty. Mr..
Hitchcock said that it repeatedly had
been decided by the law officers of the
government that the prompt distribu-
ton and delivery of mail cannot be
interfered with for any reason what
soever. The postoff1ce department, it
was learned, maintains that none Of
It's employees should belong to the ma
tional guard for this reason and has
discouraged the practice, but where it
is done it is with the specific under
standing that the postal service shall
not be crippled in consequence there

except by boat. Practically every
sidewalk in town has been washed
away and a number of houses located
in bottom lands have floated away
with the waters.
Stock interests will suffer severely

pushed through three feet of water in
some localities. Freight traffic is prac-

with the greatest effort that the COM

Meager advices from the outlying
sections tell of many ranch families
being compelled to abandon their
homes and seek safety on higher
ground. There are also unconfirmed
reports of loss of life.

The ceremony took place in the hall
which takes it's name from the con
sistory and was performed with the
usual gorgeousness and impressive
pomp. After the cardinals had paid
their homage every one left the hall
except the pope and the sacred col
lege. Then the pope, from the throne,
addressed simple prayer and deliv-
cred short allocution.
The pontiff dealt especially with
the struggle in France, which, he said,
was particularly painful to him, as he
loved that most noble nation, whose
sorrows and joys l consider as my
own instead of being those of her
French rulers, who, after arbitrarily
denouncing the concordat, violently
despoiling the church and failing to
recognize the ancient and true glory
of the country, tried to uproot the re-
mains of religion by committing all
kinds Of excuses, even those most
repugnant to French politeness, violat-
ing every public and private law and
custom. In so doing they illuminated
the episcopacy and clergy, tried to sep
arate them from the Holy See and pur-
posely utilized the national institu-
lions to further their anti-religious
war, so as to be able to accuse the
Holy See of being in opposition to
French popular institutions, which in
reality were always recognized and
respected"

Afqhan Justice,

A Yorkshire engineer acted in Az
ghan1stan for many years as director
of the arsenal to Abdur Rahman. On
one occasion the engineer was fired at
by some fanatic in a bazaar and laid
a complaint before the ameer. His
highness seemed to make light of the
matter, observing: II should not both
er about it. You will find it will be all
right" The engineer was by no means
satisfied, but, remembe ring the people
with whom he was, resolved to say no
more. A week or so later he was in
vited to accompany the ameer on
ride. When outside the town they
passed gibbet after gibbet, each occu-
pied. The Englishman at length broke
silence by suggesting, "Your highness
seems to have been busy Of late" The
reply was characteristic: ooh, no. That
Is your little lot" It was afterward
learned that the ameer had executed
every male member of the family of
the assailant upon whom he could lay
hands" -London Globe.

ped behind her husband and held an
umbrella over his bare head. He was
over eighty at the time. Mr.. Glad
stone went fluently on expounding the
merits Of rabbit farming, but after a
time even he noticed the rain and the
umbrella. Turning to Mrs. Gladstone,
he said, II will put my own up, my
DEAR" and he did so. Again the elo-
quent voice galloped on, while the rain
became heavier and heavier. Present
ly Mrs. Gladstone threw a light mackin-
tosh over her husbands shoulders.
The moment he felt it he turned quick
ly round and with some asperity said,
Il won't have it." He shrugged his
shoulders, the macintosh fell, and
Mrs. Gladstone stepped back. For five
minutes more In deluge Mr.. Glad
stone went on; then he stopped, and
we all fled.-Manchester Guardian.

Lost and Won at Shiloh.

Many an amusing incident Of army
life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi-

Of tented paradise" which was lost
and won at the battle of Shiloh: with
In our lines there was a drinking tent
on which was written Paradise 1t
was taken by the Confederates in the
first days fight, and the victors wrote
beneath its name Lost BY Beaure-
CARDS order all camp furniture was
left intact, as he expected to possess
the whole field In the morrow's strug-
gle. The Union army recovered their
ground by the second days battle, the
pleasure tent was retaken and to the
two names was added the word Re
