The dispensary campaign is on,

good humor, and nobody get mad.
We can all think alike in this

anyhow? And if we won't worry
about it hundred years hence why
worry now?

The emperor's great bell in the Ca thedral of Cologne was conSecrated with great pomp. Twenty-two cannon taken from the French were assigned by the Emperor William for its manu- fracture. It was cast by Andreas Hamm of Frankenthal. and more than S2O.OOO was paid for the casting.
 It bears an inscription recording that William. the most august em- peror of the Germans and king of the PrusSiauS. mindful of the heavenly help granted to him whereby he con- ductcd the late French war to a pros porous issue and restored the German empire. caused cannon taken from the French to be devoted to founding a bell to be hung in the wonderful ca thedral then approaching completion" " A likeness of St. Peter, the name patron of the church, is on the side. beneath which is a quatram in the style of the mediacval conceits, pray ing that as dcvout hearts rise heaven ward at hearing the sound of the bell so may the doorkeeper of heaven open wide the gates of the celestial mansion.

I.nwrer. ana ouF publie ntre.

Without stopping for statistics, which have been SO often collated, It IS enough to say that In the public life of this country the lawyer has been the conspicuous factor. The judiciary, of course, is altogether composed of mem bers of the profession. In executive offices and legislative halls the law has predominated and still predominates over every business and all other pro fesstons. Yet the public life of this country has been of the highest char acter. Acting for the public as the lawyers have done in these various fields of official labor, they have proved true to their employment and 1t may safely be said that the scan dals which have sometimes been found in official life have seldom attached to them. How can this be accounted for except upon the theory of a general personal integrity? It is no sufficient explanation to say that, although the great mass of the profession Is cor rupt, there are few who are reliable
 and they are the ones whom the public select for official life. The truth Is their very prominence in public life
 their fidelity to the trusts therein I'm
 posed, is evidence which cannot be lg
 nored that the profession has and maintains d character for honesty and uprightness which attracts genera. confidence.-D. ]. Brewer in Atlantic.
