First Skirmish Between Board of

Judge Frank Henry of Livingston

was a serious doubt in his mind as to
the propriety of the remedy sought by
the plaintiff and said that he would
like few days to look into the

troversy. Judge Henry stated that he
would send i'll his opinion within a
few Gays.
IN order that there may he no de-

Henry modified the injunction to the
extent of permitting the board to or

Toward the close of the procedure,
Attorney Won Tobel stated that he
was informed by Business Manager
Watson that the order for the assess
ment lists had been placed with the
State Publishing company by the
Argus. County Attorney Ayers in
formed the court that the order was
placed without any authority of the
board of commissioners or any court
official for the simple reason that the

county clerk, does not recognize the
so-called Argus contract" as legal

pretty bride succeeded admirably in
completely surprising their friends.

THE ALAMEDA's CARGO.

The Alameda was discharging all day
Saturday and yesterday. She has an
immense quantity of Christmas goods
which dealers are anxious to get, and
goods were hauled away on Saturday
almost as fast as they were taken out
of the hold of the ship. Yesterday
goods were not taken away but they
were sorted on the wharf so that de-
livery will be rapid this morning. She
will probably be all discharged by
o'clock this morning, and loading will
begin for her voyage to the Coast. She
sails on Wednesday.

thought as the letters of the alphabet
will trippingly follow one another on
the tongue. The discovery of these
necessary muscular movements is the
result of long study and experiment.
Their development into a system has
standardization of those physical
means which all great artists use;
without which great artistic perform
ance is impossible. OF course, these
means alone will not make the great
artist. There must be, in addition, the
artistic soul and the artistic mind.
But with them and with them alone,
every player can rise as near artistic
heights as his artistic capabilities per-
, NIT.
Mr. Virgil in his talk last evening
sought to show that the right way
was the easy way, and that it was
the first steps that were the most diff
dcult. Emerson said that the artistic
soul would express itself through the
art of the fingers, and that his work
was to teach that art to the fingers,
In his wife's playing these princi-

ing and unaffected way some of the
principles of the system which he has
done so much in bringing to perfec-
ton and into practical use, while Mrs.
Virgil gave illustration of these prin-
ciples on the piano in a way to ravish
both the eye and the ear. Think of
playing scales so that they seemed like
the composition of a master! Yet
that is what she did. And pleasant as
IL was to hear. it was. If possible, more
fascinating to see. In the production
of each note, each sound, study has
been made of the muscular action
most adequate and effective to pro-
duce ii, the result being the beauty of
perfect muscular action to this end,
and an astonishing revelation of the
degree of facility to which the muscles
can be trained. The result was the
perfection of grace and the witchery
of action.

WEARING TROUSERS.

At One Time the Custom Was Regard
ed as lrreligious.
It will assuredly seem more than
strange that at one time, and not so
long ago, the wearing Of trousers was
regarded as irreligious.
The fact that in October, 1912, an
order was made by ST. Johns and
Trinity colleges that every young man
who appeared in hall or chapel in pan
falcons or trousers should be consid-
cred as absent is startling enough, but
it would appear that eight years later
the founders of Bethel chapel at
Sheffield inserted a clause in the trust
deed ordaining that "under no circum-
stances whatever shall any preacher
be allowed to occupy the pulpit who
wears trousers"
This is striking, but it is even more
impressive to find that the Rev. Hugh
Bourne, one Of the two founders of the
Primitive Methodist Connexion, said Of
his cofounder, "That trousers wearing,
beer drinking Cloves will never get to
heaven" And it would need student
of "the Brooches Bible" to say precise

THE RUBBER TREE.
How the Milk Is Treated After the
Plant Is TAPPED

Plant Is Tapped.
Para rubber is obtained from a large
tree sixty feet high. The trees are tap
ped in the evening, and the juice is
collected on the following morning. A
deep horizontal incision is made near
the base of the tree, and then from it
a vertical one extending up the trunk,
with others at short distances in an
oblique direction. Small shallow cups
made from clay and dried in the sun
are placed below the missions to re-
ceive the milk, each cup being attach
ed by sticking a piece of soft clay to
the tree and pressing the cup against
1t. Each tree yields only about six
ounces Of juice in three days.
To produce the rubber the juice is
heated in the following manner: A
piece of wood about three feet long,
with a fattened clay mold at one end
Of 1t, is dipped in the milk, or this is
placed over it as evenly as possible.
The milk is then carefully dried by
turning the mold round and round in
a white vapor obtained by heating GER
tain oily palm nuts, the vapor being
confined within certain limits by the

Get What You Ask For.

When you see an article well-adver-
tised in the newspapers, you may be
sure it's a good article, for advertising
only pays if the goods are honest and
posses merit. The people who make
a speciality of one advertised article,
like Cascarets, Candy Cathartic for
example, stake their whole business
existence on it's doing what they say it
will. They must ''make good" as the
saying is. Readers of this paper are
urged to be sure that they get what
they ask for, when they ask for an
advertised article, for it's the good
thing that is initiated and counter
feited. Don't accept substitutes! In

In the appearance of salt, as seen in
everyday use on the table, in the kitch-
en- and elsewhere, there is apparently
nothing particularly historic, but in
reality there is. In 1920 B. C. Moses
asked, 'Can anything which is I'M
savory be eaten without salt?'
The Jews in ancient times were COM
manded to use salt in their sacrifices
Herodotus, born 494 B. c., notes that
the Egyptians preserved meat, fish and
fowl by sleeping them in brine.
The Hebrews invariab bly, rubbed new
born babies with a solution Of salt to
harden the skin, make it healthy and
prevent skin diseases
Wherever salt is spoken Of in ancient
writings it is in most emphatic Ian
guage, showing the great Importance
it possessed for our forefathers.-Pear

THE CHAMOIs.
Ways of the Shy Animals of the Noun
tars of Europe.

Ways of the Shy Animals of the Noun
tairs of Europe.
Exciting sport, the more exciting be-
cause Of the hardships connected with
it, is offered by chamois hunting in the
mountains of Europe. The channels
are found everywhere in the highest
mountains of Germany, Austria, Swift
zerland, in Pennsylvania, in the Car
pathians, also in the Alps, and these
extremely shy animals are regarded by
all true huntsmen as the most desir-
able of all game. The channels be-
longs to the antelope species; but, I'M
like it's kin of the broad plains, it pre-
eers the barren wilds Of the high noun
tains, and, like the mountain sheep, the
ibex and the moufion, it selects in this
territory full Of chasms and canyons
the most impossible regions as it's lair.
During the summer months the cham
ois roams in the higher attitudes, but
in the winter time it must descend to
find its feed. After feeding it returns
to it's old impossible hooks, where it
feels secure. AS in the case Of the
deer, the male is called a buck and the
female doe; but, unlike all other ami
mails of this kind, both sexes are antler-
ed, the horns being called 'krickelor,"
but those Of the doe are somewhat
lighter than those of the buck The
doe brings forth one fawn every year,
sometimes two, but very seldom three,
which are very dearly loved by the
mother and which she protects against
all dangers Book
