Rejected

Not long since one of the wealth jest wholesale liquor dealers in Eastern Indiana arranged with a prominent Life Insurance Com pany to take out a policy for S25, GOO, partly for the benefit of an institution he wished to endow at his death.
 The papers were made out, but on being examined as to his phy- sical condition, he was unable to pass, the surgeon announcing that he had heart disease.
 Frightened, as well as indig nant, he went to the board of eX aminers in New York which also announced to him that he had or ganic disease of the heart to that extent that it's action mightceas at any time. The only cause he could give that could bring about such a result was the fact that he had been in the habit of drink. ing several glasses of beer every day. This was pronounced by the board to be the real cause of the trouble.
 The Life Insurance Company refused to accept him.
 With thousand such facts as these staring people in the face, what can we think possesses a persons $ reason who will persist in indulging in these things?
 Actual facts proved by the light of science show that beer is not food, that it has no nutri tive elements in it. Instead of be ing the sustainer of life, it sips the foundation of all vital force
 Instead of imparting strength it simply produces a temporary

Bats in 6elfries.

Bats in belfries are frightfui nuisance" said young clergyman Tn the belfry of dear old Saint Judes they are as thick as flies, and don't know how to get rid of them. They eat the candles, you know, the com munion cloths, the vestments. the in' cense. the mattings, and they even drink the consecrated wine. Strange 1t is to think of bats doing that, isn't it? A strange bat diet, truly-candles, incense. embroidered vestments and holy wine. I have tried to smoke out the pests by burning sulphur, but they appear rather to like those fumes, For a sure way to rid my belly or US bats I'd gladly give two dollars.

The Simple Life.

A man is simple when his chief care is the wish to be what he ought to be. that is honestly and naturally human. We may compare existence to raw material. What 1t Is. matters less than what is made of 1t. as the value of work of art lies in the towering of a workman's skill. True life is possible in social conditions the most diverse, and with natural gifts the most unequal. It is not fortune or personal advantage. but our turn ing them to account. that constitutes the value of life. Fame adds no more than does length of days; quality Is the thing Charles Wagner.

Japan and the United States pro-
pose to demonstrate to each other and
to the world their mutual desire to
maintain close and friendly relations.
1.-THE demonstration is to take the
form Of negotiations for the removal OF
all differences which have arisen be-
tween them. AS a result of investiga-
tions, into Asiatic immigration condi-
tions, which Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Straus and the Japanese
commission are making. the two gov
ernments will be in a position to ap-
proach the settlement of the grave eX-
clusion question with a better appre-
citation of each others necessities and
embarrassments.
"The Japanese ambassador. Vincount
Aoki, has given the administration To
understand that his government is OPP
posed to doubtful sealing which means
it does not countenance in any way the
poaching operations of Japanese seal
ers, nor will it tolerate a like opera
tion in japanese waters by American
sealers.
Beyond these two matters there are
no differences of any material conse-
Quence to be adjusted"

T|LLMAN BELL
WINS SUIT
Litigation Over Valuable
Property Decided In Favor
of Plaintiff

1t has been learned in the city today
that District Judge Steele has render
ed decision favorable to the plaintiff
in the case of Tillman Bell VS.. N. AL
berta Bell, in which the plaintiff sought
divorce and one-half interest in
property located on the north bank
of the Clearwater river and valued at
2O,000.
The case has been in litigation for
the past IS months. during which time
several hearings have been entertained
by the court.
In rendering the decision Judge
Steele held that the plaintiff was en-
titled to a divorce on the grounds of
desertion and that the property had
been held as a community property and
treated as such until the beginning OF
this action. For this reason the court
decreed that an equal division OF the
real estate should be made.
Mr.. Bell was represented by Attor-
neys Fogg & Tannahill, while Attor-
ney Daniel Needham represented the
interests of the defendant.
The property in question is located
directly north of the city and is re-
ported to be held by options by parties
who propose to have surveys made
and develop springs for the purpose ol
placing the entire tract under irriga-
tion.
