LOST THE CASE.
A Simple Test to Which the Defendant
Objected.

An English solicitor was defending
fruit broker in an action brought in
London court for the recovery of
500. the price paid for a consignment
of figs which the plaintiff declared to
be unfit for human food. The defense
alleged that although moderately dis
colored by salt water. as the plaintiff
knew when he bought them, the figs
were perfectly wholesome. The figs
were in court.
The plaintiff, coster who conducted
his own case, was skillfully cross ex-
amined. The trial was obviously going
against him, and once or twice he re-
torted so holy that the judge threat
ened to commit him for contempt.
AT length the coster grew desperate
and, turning to the opposing counsel,
hoarse and perspiring, he said:
Look here, guv'nor, you say them
figs are good to eat, and | say they
amt That's all there is between US,
amt it? Now, selp me, if you'll eat
two Of them figs and you amt sick
Immediately afterward I'll lose my
case"
The judge at once saw the propriety
Of this suggestion and asked the law

mo, no. The offer is made to you"
said the judge.
A hurried consultation took place.
Counsel suggested that it was the so
licitor's duty to submit to the expert
ment. The solicitor refused. The bro
ker himself was then asked if he would
risk it
What will happen to me if | dont?"
said he.
You'll lose the case" replied both
his legal advisers,
Then" said he hurriedly, lose the
case, lose the casew And so he did,

Queer Plants.

The searcher for curiosities among
plants finds much to interest him in
Kew gardens. There are prlmroses
which blister the hand II stroked. leaves
divided into two sections which snap
together and imprison any insect which
alights upon them. plants which live
absolutely on air, without any root in
the ground; walking plants. sleeping
plants and plants which grow whishers
And all these marvels can be seen by
any visitor for nothing. - London

UNCLE SANS |. o. U.
The Payment For Stuart's Portrait Of
George Washington.

The Columbian Historical society re
Gently has come into possession of the
papers relating TO the negotiations be
tween one of the Carroll family and
the government of the United States
for the payment of the money due fol
the famous portrait OF Washington by
Gilbert Stuart. This was the portrait
which in the war Of 1912 was rescued
from the burning White House by the
intrepid Dolly Madison. Stuart paint
ed tbs portrait in Philadelphia in
1875, when in the height of his glory
He but recently had returned from
London, where he had counted among
his subjects King George ". the
Prince Of Wales, Mrs. Siddons and
many other celebrities. and he had the
temerity TO ask congress for $500 fol
his painting OF the first patriot.
The solons were aghast at such 8
price, promptly refused to pay II and
intimated that any one so unpatriotit
might as well go back and paint kings
for he was not suited to paint patriots
But Daniel Carroll of Duddingtor
threw himself in the breach, urged the
claim of the artist and put before the
congress what a figure they would cut
before the eyes of the world If they
failed to meet an obligat ton incurred
Carroll offered to pay the money him

Use of remuneration. After much Quib-
bling a promissory note was given at s
per cent, and 1t was twenty years be
fore the Carroll heirs received tie
whole of the $500 which Stuart re
ceived for the finest portrait ever
painted of the Father OF His Country
During the hasty cutting of the picture
from its frame when the victorious
British were marching on the capital
the signature of Stuart was destroyed
The picture lay in obscurity for a dog
en- years, and there was some doubt
thrown on its authenticity when 1t was
rehung in the White House. 1t now

CONTRACT IS LET
William Hendrix Will Build the
New No. 9 School
House.
LIMIT TO BE EXTENDED.

The contract for the construction of
the new school building for district
No. has been awarded to William
Hendrix. His bid was $5,97S.47 One
provision of the contract is that the
building shall be ready for occupancy
September l. Owing to the fact that
further delay OF twenty days must en-
sure because of failure to comply with
the legal requirements in the matter,
it is probable the time limit will have
TO be extended. This will delay the
time Of opening school, also.

THE CREATIVE POWER.
"Science," Said Lord Kelvin, "Afirms
the Existence of God"

the Existence OF a GOD.
I cannot at all accept the view OF
those who assert that ether Is atomic
since all my own investigations have
clearly demonstrated to me that its
structure is totally nonatomic. In fact
It has no structure in the accepted
meaning of the term. Neither can ]
accept the view of those who assert
that science neither atfirms nor denies
the existence of a Creator On the con.
trary, science most positively assert,
the existence of a creative power We
cannot escape from this conclusion
when we study the physique and the
dynamic OF living beings and dead"
nature which we see around US.
Modern Psychologists again firmly de,
clare that there is something else out
side gravitation and the physical and
chemical forces. This something Is 9
vital principle Science places before
US an unknown. In thinking Of this
unknown we all become agnostics. We
only know God in his works, but VIC
are forced by science TO believe with
perfect confidence in other than phys
ical dynamic or electrical forces
There is no middle term between abso
lutte scientific belief In a creative power
and the acceptance OF the theory OF g
haphazard coming together OF atoms
Here scientific thought is forced TO &C.
cept the notion OF a creative power
Forty years ago I asked the great Lie,
big during walk in the country II
he believed that grass and flowers grew
solely as the result Of chemical force.
He replied, Not any more than l be
lieve that chemical force can translate
a book upon botany describing the
phenomena Of vegetation" Every act
Of the will is a stupendous miracle for
chemical. physical and mathematical
science. If your intellect is strong
enough you will be forced to believe
in God. the founda ton Of all religion,
and you will see that science is not al
all hostile to religion Far from that
it must be looked upon as its auxiliary.
