court of the state deciding that fail

prescribed date and consequently
the failure to vote yes" or mo- on
the question renders invalid the
belated yes" vote. Therefore, the
three license commissioners were IL
legally appointed and hense have no
right to grant licenses. That set

in the matter is likely to go; and Cor

poses as dry as II 1t had voted for
no-license when the opportunity was
given the citizens to have their say.
Although there may be dissenting
opinions among some of Corinth's
citizens as to being thus deprived Of
their prerogative. the incident is val
liable as showing the necessity for
the systematic conduct of towns

You can do exactly what G. ]. Ster

catarrh for years, for which ] tried
various remedies without success, l
became almost discouraged. After
reading about Hyomei, decided to

We don't simply say Hyomei will
cure catarrh. but we say that w. l.,

cure catarrh, or money back. He
does more--he guarantees 1t to cure

Had Been Warned,

A little girl had been to Sunday
school for the first time and had
been much interested in the lesson,
which had as it's foundation the text
"Put your trust in the Lord and
place no trust in princes"
About a week later when she re-
turned from kindergarten she found
her mother busy helping the cook
prepare fruit to make jelly. She
sat down to watch-they we're too
busy to let her help-and presently
she heard her mother give an impa-
tient exclamation.
"What is it, mamma ?" she asked.
ooh, every n of these ounces is
bad at the core, and I'm very much
disappointed, for | had counted on
them. | wanted to finish my jelly
today"

A SPELLING LESSON.
With a Wise Child's Comment About
the English Language.

The following illustration of a
chlld's spelling lesson and her apt
conclusion in regard to the orthog-
raphy Of the English language is
taken from a New York publication:
"Spell toes" said the mother,
who was teaching her little daugh-
ter, seven years old, to spell.
"T-o-z-e," answered the child.
"No, dear, that's not right.
Toes spells toes
"But it sounds like t-o-z-e."
81 know it, but you cannot 60 by
The sound"
Then in order to enforce the
proposition the mother called upon
her daughter to spell froze.
"F-r-o-e-s," said the child.
"No. You're wrong again. This
time we do use the y and spell the
word f-r-o-z-e."
"Huh!!" exclaimed the child.
"Now spell ~rose," said the moth
The child hesitated. Finally she
said, 81 don't know whether to say
r-o-z-e or r-o-e-s."
"Spell it r-o-s-e," said the moth
er, "though there is another word
pronounced just like it that's spell
ed r-o-e-s. That word is the name
of the spawn of fishes"
The child looked perplexed.
Gust one word more," said the
mother. "Tell me how you spell
blows"
"Well," said the little girl, who
had had quite enough nonsense, as
she viewed it, from her mother and
had suddenly made up her mind to
pay back in kind, 81 spell it three
ways. | spell it b-l-o-s-e for break
fast, b-l-o-e-s for dinner and
b-l-o-z-e for supper"
81 spell it blows" said the
mother.
The child was silent for a minute
as if wrapped in thought. Then,
looking up, she solemnly remarked,
81 think, mamma, that the English
language was made for persons very,
very well educated"

The Moons Movements.

The moon is the nearest and, be-
ing the nearest, appears to US, with
the single exception of the sun, the
largest, although it is in reality one
of the smallest Of the heavenly
bodies. Just as tn earth goes round
the sun and the period of revolution
constitutes a year, SO the o goes
round the earth approximately in a
period of one month. But, while
we turn on our axis every twenty
four hours, thus causing the alter
nations of light and darkness, day
and night, the moon takes a month
to ~reyolye on hers, SO that she al
ways presents the same or very
nearly the same surface to us.
