That Temple Of Peace.

The Monroe doctrine never had
more significant or inspiring express
sion than the laying OF the corner
stone, in Washington, the other day,
of temple of peace, dedicated for all
time to the industrial and friendly
unity of the republics OF the Western
Hemisphere. Twenty-one nations
were represented at the imposing ex-
ercises which marked the laying OF
the corner stone OF the edifce that is
to be the material embodiment OF the
spirit which has reflected the policy
of this country toward all the other
nations of the Western half OF the
globe. The final step toward the
adoption of this principle by the
smaller republics themselves, which
have so frequently been at war with
each other, seems to have been taken
when they participated in the cere
monies.-Kansas City Journal.

Senator Gore, the blind senator
from Oklahoma, was given the floor
and was greeted with great applause
when he said:
"The president OF the United States

publication. That is true of many of
the opinions of the president Of the
United States.
Fellow democrats, the great secre-
tary Of war came to Oklahoma and
waged war against our constitution, =
continued Senator Gore. "He asked US
to give up our right Of liberty and
self-government. But by a vote Of
thousands upon thousands, we reject
ed the advice of Taft and accepted
the advice of Bryan"
This was the Bryan mems signal

floor, at first only a tempest of de-
tached yells and shouts of Bryan, :"

Rays Over Patients Heads.
AS a sequel to the recent discovery
Of M. Dumas, an eminent French sa

a scientific fact, DR.. Fere of the
Bicetre Hospital has just published 6
treatise in which he proves that the
halo ordinarily attributed to saints
actually exists in nature. He tends
to prove that the circle of light which
artists old and modern always repre-
scented about the heads Of sacred per-
sonages was not mere matter of i'm.
agination, but that it really was thsre,
and in certain circumstances eodld
even have been photographed. He
carefully points OUT however, that
the halo is rather indicative of GER
tain pathological conditions than at
extraordinary morality.
DR.. Fere, after long and careful in
vestigation, discovered that cases
were not rare in which halos appear
ed about the heads of his patients.
He cites the case of a neurasthenic,
who, during a severe attack Of brain
fever, projected from his scalp lumin-
GUS rays some 10 inches in length.
The nimbus was so clearly marked
that the physician himself and the
trained nurse easily distinguished it.
Another patient, prey to an over
whelming emotion, suddenly had not
only his head but his hands surround

similar to some of the golden halos
that old masters put about the heads
