Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded,

The publication of the article alleg-
ed to have been signed by each mem
Der of the board of equalization, in
the Dispatch of two weeks ago, and
which was republIsbed verbatim in
the Ledger last week, with the reply
OF the editor appended thereto, has
developed a peculiar state of affairs.
The writer of that classic missiye
evidently thought he was doing
wondrous piece of work-by making
double attack from a covert position.
No one believed that either one of
the officials whose names appeared to
the article, or all combined, actually
compiled it. 1t was written for
them, and bore the unmistakabIe
earmarks of the author. 1t was deem
ed good stroke of policy to abuse
the editor of the Ledger, who is will
ing to acknowledge that he wrote
every line of the article that started
this controversy. But the court
house Clique sadly miscalcuIated
things. They were aware that the
editor was not present IN the super
visors' room when the alteration be.
tween the memb ers of the board and
w. j. McGee occurred, and hence
that a one sided presentation of what
occurred might pass muster, as the
Ledger man would not known the
difference. They did not know that
the article denounced was LOADED. -
That behind the few lines mildly stat
Ing what TRANSFERRED in the editors
absence. the Ledger was we'll
entrenched, and in possession of
documentary evidence to back I'D its
position.
w. j. McGee upon whom the
officials cast serious reflection, re-
turned home this week, and lost no
time in looking into this matter
The whole court house crowd there
upon changed its song.
They Joined in the chorus, "Let it
drop; it was not intended for Nc
Gee; it was Webb the article was
after; they regretted that it had been
published at all, it was a mistake, ,,
and all that sort of palaver. The
real truth is there was nothing in the
article referred to calculated to stir
up the ire of the officials; but other
articles published by the Ledger re-
GENTLY were heavily freighted with
grave charges against their official
acts, and they seized the f1imsy pre-
text of the statements in the report
OF the proceedings of the board of
equalization as basis for the attack
under five-decked, tuIl- board sigma
ture. We also understand that the
matter of vindicatlon was discussed,
as to what form it should take, finally

dropping down to the undignItied
screed that bears their names.
Whether all actually signed it is a
matter for discussion, but that is
none of our business.
Now the fact of the matter Is the
Ledger statement was correct in all
its material features. There was
something said about the time limit;
it was brought up that it was too late
to present other applications for re-
duction. At the same time pro-
position was made that two appllca-
tions in reserve would not be pre-
seDted il the board would grant con-
cessions in certain cases already be-
fore them. 1t was not made in any
improper way, but simply as a matter
of mutual agreement, and there was
no resentment on the part of the
members to the proposition as an
improper one. 1t was nothing more
than an acknowledgment on the part
of the attorney that certain cases were
the most merltorious in the request
for reduction, and il these we're
given reasonable consideration, the
others would not be pressed. There
was nothing IN the facts to warrant
the officials in the effort of trying to
pose before the public as martyrs to
official rectitude. 1t was a far
fetched idea, wrongly conceived and
wretchedly carried or rather-mis-
carried out.

The Heart of Louis XIV.

Laboucheres Truth now and then
has some strong stories. And here
is one of them: During the French
revolution, a canon of st. Denis gave
to an ancestor of Sir William Har-
court the heart of Louis XIV, which
he said he had extracted from it's
casket at the time the royal tombs
were demolished by the mob. 1t re-
sembled small piece of shriveled
leather, an inch or so long. Many
years afterward the curiosity was
shown to the late DR.. auckland, dean
of Westminster, during visit to the
Harcourts DR.. Buckland was very
old then. He had some reputation as
a man of science, and the scientific
spirit moved him to wet his finger,
rub 1t on the heart, and put the finger
to his mouth. After that, before he
could be stopped, he put the heart in
his mouth and swallowed it, whether
by accident or design will never be
known Very shortly afterward the
dean died, and was buried in West
minister Abbey. 1t is impossible that
he could ever have digested the
thing. 1t must have been a pretty
tough organ to start with, and age
had almost petrified it. Consequent
ly the heart of Louis XIV. must now
be reposing in Westminster Abbey
inclosed in the body of an English
dean"

WISE WORDS.

There are no friendships without
faith.
The poverty of life is due to the
things we miss.
The love of truth goes before like
ness to truth.
Every life may be known by the
way it leads.
God is not in the closet if He is
not on the street
The beautiful life wastes no time
looking for mirror
Happiness never is found by run
ming after pleasure.
A touchy disposition often goes
with tough heart.
A little care for others is worth a
lot of prayer for them.
No man happens to stub his toe on
the nugget of character.
When faith gets to dreaming there
soon is something doing.
Some sheep sigh for cactus as soon
as they get in the green pastures.
The religion that confines itself to
your own heart soon consumes itself.
People who are hunting persecu-
ton seldom are worthy of it's polish
ing.
1t is easy to get into crooked ways
when you test all things by the dollar
sign.
The hypocrite always thinks that
his smoothness will rectify his crook
edness.
There is some definite creed to
every character, but not the same
creed for all characters.

St. Gaudens' Rock Creek Statue.

the Springfield Republican, says:
Il am not yet allowed to write. 1
am hoping to have liberty to use the
one eye left me; but liberty seems a
long way off. l risk disobedience
now because know my friend St.
Gaudens would be grieved to know
the many wrong names bestowed on
his statue in Rock Creek. When it
was first set up, no one understood it,
and it had many names. When l
heard it called Despair, and objected
to it as unfit for a Christian Gene
terry, | thought it best to write to
me to make it "Nirvana. l knew
nothing about the "Nirvana," and l
tried to embody "The peace that pass
eth understanding The writer in
the Boston Transcript who called it
"The Peace of God" came nearer to
the meaning than those who called it
"Grief," but the statue stands for a
deeper thing than the peace of
God. -"
To this the Springfield Republican
adds:
This is the great Imaginative
statue concerning which the Kspub-
lican said: This marvellous presence
is not man or woman; it is great
and mournful angel, seated, with the
right hand supporting the chin, and

AMATEUR COOK BOOK.

A cook book in course of compila-
Eion by joint editors, young man
and woman, contains many sugges-
tions by which old housekeepers
might profit. Everywhere that the
couple have been entertained for
many months a keen eye has been
kept out for a new idea in house
keeping, in entertaining or in new
dish, and into the book every such
hint and suggestion has gone. The
last one to go in was obtained by the
young man during his visit to an
aunt in Pennsylvania. A rainy day
had kept him in, and for variety, be-
ing a privileged character, he sought
out the kitchen just in time to find
his aunt making oyster fritters, for
which she is famous among her
friends. Very carefully he watched
the process, and this is the result OF
his observations: Forty good-sized
oysters cut in pieces, not too fine
mixed with the beaten yolks of two
eggs, a little salt and then enough
-four to make thin batter; at the
last, the beaten whites of the eggs
are added and the mixture is dropped
by the tablespoonful into hot fat in
a frying pan
Another hint that went into the
book at the same time as the fritter
recipe was this: "Oyster stew is
twice as good if you use half cream
instead of all milk. New York
