a bard there was in sad quandary
To find a rhyme for Tipperary.
Long labored he through January,
Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary;
Toiled every day in February,
But toled in vain for Z pperary:
Searched Hebrew text and commentary,
But searched in vain for Tipperary.
And SO on through many scores Of

wrote saying that her constant adj
dressing mr as boy made me feel
displeascd. received in reply letter
full of reproachcs and tears. Among
other things. she said: You might grow
TO he as big as Goliath. as strong as
Samson and as wise as Solomon: you
might become ruler of Il nation or en-
peror of many nations, and the world
might revere you and fear you. but to
your devoted mother YOU would al
ways appear in memory in your inno-
cent, unprctcntiOuS, unself conceited,

when | washed and dressed and kissed
and worshped you, you were rny idol.
Nowadays you are becoming part of a
gross world by contact with it, and
cannot bow down To YOU and worship
you. but if there are manhood and
maternal love transmitted to you, you
will understand that the highest COM
pliment that mother love can pay you
is to call you my dear boy."'"

Every one knows that in using a
field glass it is necessary to adjust 1t
to proper focus. Suppose that you
put one of the tubes at your focus and
the other tube at focus that suited
some one else and then you looked
through both tubes. You would have
a more or less blurred vision, and If
you kept on looking the chances are
that you would feel giddy and get a
headache. Now. the two eyes are sup
posed TO have an equal natural focus,
and when by any chance that focus is
unequal headache results. The rem

Strouse Wins First Round in Fight for
auditorium Lease.

AsheviTe, y. c.. August 17.-Judge
Pritchard today made an order con-
rtnuing the injunction against the
auditorium company of HendersOnVtlle
until the final hearing some time IN
September. This Is the case in which
DR.. Strouse, Evangelist and Chautau
qua marager, secured a temporary
order last week restraining the audi
tortum company from interfering with
him in holding a Chautauqua com
mencing August Is. The order of the
court in effect holds that Strouse has
possession of the auditorium at Hen
derrsonville.
During the hearing yesterday and
today the real merits of the case came
near beins lost sight of In the flood
of affidavits made by Hendersonville
people attacking DR.. Strouse's moral
character The affidavits were sensa-
tional and considerable feeling has
been aroused. DR.. StrouSe is now in
Battle Creek, Mich and although he
has been given possession of the audi
torium It is believed by no few that
he will not make his appearance at
clared by attorneys for Strouse that he
IS innocent of the charge made. Judge
Moore, Strouse's counsel, declared that
they expected to visit the consequences
on those Observation-Disclosures
It is likely that damage suits VIII
follow The end is not yet. The whole
purport of the afidavits was Dr.
Strouse's alleged intimacy with mar
ried woman.
In the United States district court
last evening the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty in the case against
Thrash, the distillar, charged with vio-
lating the internal revenue laws. Dis
trict Attorney Holton had prosecuted
the case vigorously, but the verdict
was by TO means unexpected.
