affections on a young woman named
Ellison Begbie, the daughter Of q
small farmer, and asked her to be
his wife, but he could not prevail on
her to marry him, and this disap-
pontment had malign influence
over the poet. Long afterward,
when he had seen much of the
world, Burns spoke of this girl as,
OF all those on whom he ever fixed
bis tickle affections, the one most
likely to have made a pleasanter
partner for life. It was to her he
addressed the pure and beautiful

vl.e lmpertaut taastiens u This We
tsry Secretion.
The perspiretion Is watsry se-.
erection Of certain curiously cooled
glands in the skin. It used to be
thought that it served useful pur-
pose in removing waste matters
from the system, and there is no
doubt that it. does SO iii q measure,
but it cannot compare in this re
spect with the secretion Of the kid
neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and
eight-tenths parts water, and the
solid part is chiefly chloride of So
dunn, which gives it the well known
salty taste. Its function is to mois-
ten the superficial layer of cells in
the skin and so facilitate their re-
moval. But its chief use is believ-
ed to be to regulate the tempera-
ture Of the body and prevent, by
evaporation, excessive and danger
GUS heat.
The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature of the
air, exercise and the amount of fluid
drunk. But it averages between
thirty and forty ounces q day.
1t varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
winter, day and night, but ordinari-
ly evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it does not appear as moisture
on the skin. This is called the in
sensible perspiration, while that
visible as water is called the sensi-
BILE perspiration.
1t is decreased in amount in Ger
tain diseases, such as diabetes, in
which the kidney secretion is enor-
mously increased, and in ichthyosis,
a dry, scaly disease of the skin.
Increased perspiration may be
purely nervous in origin, as seen in
the beads on the forehead of one
who is embarrassed, or the cold
sweat of fear or some other power
full emotion. In some cases the in
creased perspIation is localized in
the hands and feet. If this is an
expression of general weakness, ton
les and good food may correct the
condition, but usually local treat
ment is called for. Immersing the
palms of the hands or the soles of
the feet in water as hot as it can be
borne for about five minutes and
then, after drying, busting them
with very finely powdered boric
acid is often of great service.
The moist hand may be kept dry
by frequent application to the
palms Of a saturated solution of
boric acid in cologne water.
The perspiration that occurs at
night in consumption and other dis
eases, accompanied with hectic fe-
yer, is often very distressing. The
quantity of water exuded is some
times enormous, soaking not only
night clothes, but the entire bedding
and mattress. If the patients con-
dition will permit, a hot bath of
four or five minutes duration at
bedtime will sometimes prevent or
lessen night sweats. If this is not
permissible, sponging with hot vine
gar and water may be tried. A glass
Of milk and half dozen crackers
taken at midnight will also occasion
ally be found useful. - Youths

to Be illustrated.

The revival services at the Memo
rial Christian church were attended by
large audience last evening, the
building being well filled The heavy
snow interfered with attendance at
the morning service, but a splendid in
terest was manifested, two coming for
ward for membership at the invita-
ton. The evangelist, Rev. S. T. Mar
tin, spoke on the subject, "The Now
and Shall Be of Christianity" bringing
out in a strong manner the. fact that
| the present life is or should. be very
much the same as the future life. Mrs.
| Chopper sang a beautiful solo. The
children's service at o'clock was well
attended, and much interest manifest
ed, the evangelist speaking to them on
| The ten commandments and the boy
| that broke them.
| At the evening service the subject
was Does 1t Pay?" the thought taken
| from the scripture what shall il
profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?" very
strong sermon was delivered by the
Evangelist. He told of certain men
who a very short time ago had wealth
and honor, who today were spending
their means, and every effort to keer
themselves out of the penitentiary ant
Ieven from the gallows: a condition OF
things brought about by their love fol-
wealth and fame, lust, ETC., in which
they had INDUCED, only to reap tn,
. fruits of their sins.
An urgent appeal was made at thu

from that life of disgrace and shame
to an acceptance of Christ and TIL

TWO MATTERS UP.
Council at Meeting Tonight tc
Consider Measures of More
Than Ordinary Interest
ON SALOONS AND THEATERS
Ordinance Calling for Election on 81 ,oo0
License Will Be up-TaIkPhones
Tomorrow.

The city council at its regular meet
irg this evening will have before it at
least two matters OF considerable i'm
portance. One of these is the ordin-
ance calling for an election on the
proposition of increasing the saloon
license fee to 81 LOCO. introduced at the
last meeting. The aldermen should
now be in a position to take definite
action on this question, and should by
this time have sounded public senti-
ment On the measure. There is no
doubt as to the attitude of the people
on the movement. The matter has
been thoroughly discussed in The Ar
gus, and the provisions of the ordin
ance before the council are familiar to
the public 1t calls for an election
Feb. II to determine whether the coun
ell shall pass an ordinance increasing
the license fee
The Argus has endeavored to show
the advantages of the $1,000 license,
and public opinion on the measure
now before the council is so clearly
defined that there appears to be no
reasonable ground for evading it.
Thcater Ordinance.
Another matter which will likely be
before the council is the theater Ii
cense ordinance passed at the last
meeting. The councils action on this
proposition was certainly hasty, and
the unfairness of it is so obvious that
| it is hoped that the aldermen will re-
scind their action this evening The
matter involves the pleasures of peo-
pie of ordinary means. and does not in
volve the theater managers, but the
people Hence, the aldermen, as rep
resentatives of the voters should not
put in force a measure so generally dis
approved of by the people.
Phones Tomorrow.
The telephone question will not be
up before the council tonight, but to
morrow evening the aldermen meet IL
committee of the whole session fol
the purpose of discussing the ordin
ance and the existing situation here
more fully. General Manager H. Fl

neys made an effort to conclude the
case.
The case has been on the docket
since 1905, and Judge Graves held it
to be high time the case should be
finally disposed of. The suit involves
two mortgages on the Looney Second
avenue property.
Encounter Avoided.
During the argument an encounter
between LOoney and C. J. Searle. who
appeared for Mr.. Rooster, was averted
by the courts sharp command to
Looney to sit down. and an order to
the bailiff of the court to maintain
order.
In an affidavit Looney declared that
Mr.. Searle had personal enmity toward
him and that this was the reason for
Mr. Searle's being retained.
In discussing the matter of time
limit, MI Searle claimed that it had
been impossible for the master i'll
chancery or himself to find Looney
and have the hearing set, and he fur
Their alleged that Looney was causing
delays in the case. On this Looney
jumped TO his feet, and started toward
Mr.. Searle, declaring loudly, THAT is
not true" This brought on words be
tween the attorneys, and Looney
stepped still nearer Mr.. Searle. who
was standing directly in front of the
courts bench
Judge Graves firmly ordered Looney
to be seated. and after repeating the
order and stating that he would not
permit any disorder i'll his court, the
judge turned to r. b. Olmsted, bailiff
of the court ana directed him to main
tain order. The bailiff ordered Mr.
Looney to sit down, and stepped
around the railing before the irate at
torney moved away from Mr.. Searle
and finally resumed his seat.
The incident was cited by Mr. Searle
as sample of the scenes which at
