REV. JAMES THOMAS.



Truth is tough. It will not break
like a bubble at a touch; nay you may
kick it about all day like a football and
it will be round and full at evening.
Does not Mr. Bryant say, Truth gets
well if she is run over by a locomotive.
while error dies of lockjaW if she
scratches her finger. So it is with
the character of Mr. Thomas. For
four years it has been kicked about the
Little Rock Conference like foot ball
by those careless of truth and bent on
his ruin. Although during his previous
ministry of fifteen years in the confer
ence he had lived life above reproae
and had displayed an aptitude for the
duties assigned him. He was Wi thout
proof charged with illegitemacy of
birth; with being a wife deserter and
with preaching under an assumed name.
The bishops locomotive was run over
him. At last when his defamers had
proceeded to point where patience
ceased to be virtue and when the ec
cleSiastical courts seemed unable or un-
willing to give him square deal III the
contest with his defamers he appealed
to the civil courts. With true, manly,
Christian courage he went to the scene
Of his alleged crimes and met face to
face the contemplate Hester who had
been induced to swear falsely about
him. The plot to destroy him was
quickly exposed and the Texan has con-
fessed to his falsehood, made full re
traction and consented to judgment.
Mr. Thomas stands indicated IN the
courts of his country and before the
world. and truth has gathered herself
SU0f less and uuhllf.t around his splendid

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.

CORONER'S JURY. pERHApS.
But Coroner Mix Says He Has Not
 Made Decision on Matter

In reply to question regarding the accuracy of report that is said to have emanatcd from personal friends of his that in future cases of homicide and particularly of automobile aCCi- dents the coroner would impanel cor 0rtrs iurics to decide the cases on the evidence Coroner Mix last night stated that he had not definitely de- cidcd to take any such action and that h cOuld not decide to do SO until q oasr occurred and then he should de- eide on each particular case. The coroner added that he might impancl a jury in any ease that came up but had not n ade any decision in that re- Gatu end would not until the cases a,OSr. In the cases that have just passed ho might have impanollcd d jury had he desired to- do SO, It ap- pears that the coronef has had this idea under consideration but has not given it very extensive thought and has made no definite decision on it.
 The report suggested that he jury would hear the evidence, virtually try tho case, and then hold the suspected party or discharge him In these jury cases thc coroner would act as sort of prosecutor and judge, examining witnesses presiding over the cXamin- alton, and delivering the case to the

That committee reported to the house that the United States gov ernment could not purchase lands for the purpose of conserving the forests of the country, but allowed the pro posaI chance 10 live hy adding that the federal government might purchase forests or land of any sort in order to protect the navigahility of streams.
 Many of the arguments produced in the hearings before the house comm't- tee on agriculture have heen made with B view of conserving the forests of the United States. Now that the project is declared to he illegal if taken lip by the government with that end in view, 1t is desired to present arguments to show how tho establishment of these parks will protect the navigablllty of streams over which the fedora govern ment has jurisdiction.
