Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de-
rived from other languages, protocol"
has long since lost it's original mean
ing. 1t is derived from the Greek
''protos," meaning first, and 'kollan,"
meaning glue, and meant originally a
sheet glued in front of manuscript
bearing the writer's name and other
particulars. From this the meaning
evolved into that Of a rough draft of a
document and was so used by the
Romans, who called 1t "protocollum."
The definition Of the word as used in
modern diplomacy is given as a rough
draft of any document or a document
preliminary to some transaction. 1t
likewise is defined as "a diplomatic
document or minute of proceeding
signed by friendly powers in order to
secure certain diplomatic ends by
peaceful means"

A Wise Answer.

II takes but an ordinary man to re-
turn an angry answer to an insult
The extraordinary man is he who, I'M

so well under control that he controls
his adversary also. Persia once pos
sessed suCh a man and was clear sight
I'd enough to make him a judge. He
was the chief judge of Bagdad in the
reign of Callph Hadee, and his name
was AbOo Yusuph. He was a very
wise man. for he knew his own de
ficiencies and was actually sometimes
In doubt as to whether he possessed
sufficient wisdom to give a just de-
cision in cases peculiarly shrouded in
mystery. 1t is related of him that on
one occasion. after patient investiga-
ton of facts, he decided that he had
not sufficient knowledge to pronounce
on the case before him. There was
in his presence pert courtier, one Of
those men who take long to learn that
wisdom and impudence are not closely
related.
"Pray. do you expect that the caliph
is to pay you for ignorance?" h"
asked hoping to place the judge Mt n

The Shape of the Earth.

According to the deductions of j. a.
Jeans of Trinity college, Cambridge,
the shape of the earth when it began
to cool and to soidify from a liquid
mass was that of a pear. But its shape
could not have been maintained long
against the enormous strains which
would he set up In 1t as the process Of
cooling proceeded, and this shape
would gradually give place to an APP
prOximately spherical form. Such a
confguration would possess a single
axis of symmetry, and this axis, 1t is
suggested, passed through a point of
latitude and longitude degrees north
of 30 degrees east. Thus Africa, the
continent whose center above sea Level
is greatest. must be taken as the cen
ter Of the land hemisphere, while the
prOtuberance which formed the stalk
ocean, which now forms the water
hemisphere. Almost the only remain
ing evidence of the existence of this
prOtuberance is the fact that the axis

pear TO contract TO a spherical shape

tive displacements would be greatest

hence we should expect to find earth
quakes and volcanoes in greatest num-
bers near to this circle.-Exchange.

GOOD Cough Mediclne Foo Children.

The season for coughs and colds is now
at hand and too much care cannot be used
to protect the children. A child is much
more likely to contract diphtheria or
scarlet fever when he has a cold. The
quicker you cure his cold the less risk.
Chamberlain s Cough remedy is the sole
reliance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of
Ripley, W. Va, says, CT have never
used anything other than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for my children and it
has always given good satisfaction. !"
This remedy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as confidently

LITTLE BABY
CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and
Doctors but Could Get No Re-
lief-Grew Worse Under Doctors
Prescription = Friends Recon-
mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

ave express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
emit every time, but nothing brought re-
lief. A physician recommended salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
80 that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead Of
throwing it into the doctors lap. l
myself only make twelve dollars week
as a teamster, but / recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly TO all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. G. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East

THE LOST ATLANTIS.
An Ideal Land Where Man Had Reach
ed Social Perfection.


According to Plato, who was the
first to put the story on record, having
heard 1t from the Egyptian priests. At
lantls was an island In the Atlantic
ocean 'over against the pillars of Her
cules." 1t was larger than Asia and
Africa taken together and 1000 years
before his time was denselj peopled by
nlnion extended over the greater part
Of Africa and Europe, and their con-
quering progress was finally checked
only by the united resistance OF the
Athenians and other Greeks.
In the course Of time this great peo-
pie, this powerful nation, forgot its
greatness and its power and turned
to- wickedness and sin. Then there
came an earthquake, which lasted a
day and night and was followed by
an inundation Of the sea. After tAat
nothing but slime and shoals remained
to mark the spot where Atlantis had
flourlshed.
This is the romantic story as told
by Plato. As we have said, he got 1t
from the Egyptian priests. Where did
the priests get it? Was 1t purely i'm
aginary, or was 1t founded, as some
Of the stories of mythology are, upon
a thin foundation Of fact?
On this point both the ancient and
the modern writer's have different
views. Some suppose that the exist
ence of the island was really believed
in because the Phoenicians may have
visited the Canary islands or the
Azores; that the story OF Atlantis
grew out of their possible discovery.
Others think that ii is the expression
of a vague belief by the ancients in
the existence Of the western hemi-
sphere.
So far as the origin of the story
goes, we shall never perhaps know
more than we do now, but we have for
all time the beauty of the story itself
as showing what the poets Of an
tiquity conceived to be the ideal con-
dltion Of the human race.
According to these ancient writers,
Atlantis was one Of the most produc-
tive countries in the world. Its nat
ural resources were unbounded. Ev-
erything that could add to the pleasure
and comfort of men was there In pro-
fusiOn-grain, wine, delicious fruit.
metals Of various kinds, great forests,
fertile plains, pleasure grounds, springs
and rivers.
The island was divided into ten
kingdoms, each wholly Independent of
the other, but bound by the common
ties OF noble purposes and mutual good
will Commerce fourished as it did
nowhere else in the world its harbOrs
receiving the products of every other
known country. There were large and
populous cities rich in architectural eff
feet and embellished with the most
beautiful works of art. Its villages
were also rich and thriving. and its
fields were under the most skillful and
profitable cultivation.
This was Atlantis as the old poets
pictured it, the ideal land where men
had reached the ultimate development

PRIZE FIGHT At DAVENPORT
Results In an Order for the Court
martial Of the Militia Officers Who
Failed to stop II.

TO hight or not to fight was the big
question in Davenport and 1000 fans,
more than 1000 Of them from outside
the city, stood about the streets and
held imppnlptu and lcud-voiced indig-
nation meetings over the action of
Governor Cummins in instructing the
local militia not to allow the scheduled
observation-disclosures bout to begin. In
the end compromise was effected, un-
der which the men went their fifteen
rounds, points only being considered
and NO decision given.
"Packy" Mcfarland proved his supe-
>rtority over kid" Herman and his
right to go with George Memsic or
the best of them by easily beating Her
man In a fifteen-round fight without a
decision. In the last few rounds a
knockout seemed probable any time,
and when the fight ended Herman was
hanging on to Mcfarland, who rained
terrific blows at short range On Her
mans back, head and face.
Adjutant General Thrift of the Iowa
national guard ordered an imme-
date investigation OF the conduct Of
Captain Kulp of Davenport, who was
ordered to assemble his men of Com
pany B, Fifty-fourth regiment, under
arms and stop the prize fight.
It Is the impression of Adjutant Cen
eral Thrift that the fight was a prize
fight and in clear violation of the law,
and that under the strict orders issued
by the governor to Captain kulp the
militia should have stopped 1t.
Captain o. w. Kulp. First Lieuten-
ant James d. Mason and Second Lieu

cision of Federal Judge Reed in the
United States district court at Fort
Dodge in oyerruling motion of the
plaintiff for new trial in the case of
Ware & Leland VS.. Pearsons.
John II. Pearsons, brother-in-law of
Senator Dolliver, specialized on the
board OF trade in 1905 through the
branch Office in Fort Dodge of Ware
& Leland, a Chicago commission firm.
After several months of trading his
losses amounted to $4,000 and pay
ment was refused on the ground that
the transactions were gambling deals
and had no standing in the eyes of
the law.
The commission firm went to the
courts for recourse and in the original
trial last June verdict was rendered
In favor of PearsoEs. The basis Of
the decision was the finding that the
transactions were in futures and de-
livery was never intended.

murder in the second degree, the high
est degree OF crime possible under the

stood seven for second degree murder,
and Ave for manslaughter. Twenty
