Mr.. Proske decided to buy a AZ

smaller one at the end of the

Christian +. Ecllloff recalls the years
just prior TO the outbreak Of the civil
war. when Sumner, Wade, Douglas.
Hamlin, Houston, John p. Hale, Breck-
inr:dgc. Thomas and Jefferson Davis
were debating the great questions upon
which the north and south were MT

of men. mostly clad in black broad-
cloth and wearing high silk hats.
But there was one senator who re-
fused to be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hous-
ton of Texas. DAY after day." says
MIR. Eckloff, during spare moments
he sat there in his seat carving hearts
out Of soft pine wood. They wore

Sock and euskin.

In the early ages theatrical perforn-
ers disguised their faces with wine lees
or rude pigment. Aeschylus, the fa-
nous tragic poet, introduced masks,
which We're of various kinds. express
ing every age, country, condition and
complexion. All were constructed
with the greatest nicely and precision.
The dresses were also adapted to the
characters assumed by the actors.
What was known as the buskin was
a hunting boot. Those worn by ira
gcdians had soles three inches thick,
composed Of layers of cork. and were
laced up in front as high as the calf.
Sandals were also worn, and many of
these had thick cork soles. The coll
orS of the foot coverings were various,
red being the favorite hue for war;
riors and purple for other characters.
Slaves wore Il low shoe bearing tho
name of sock. which was also the orGi-
nary footwear of comedians. From
this circumstance arose the we'll
known phrase of .'Sock and busl.in."
SO generally associated with the drama.

tion and address in which Thos
Campbell declared eve are per-
suaded that it is high time for
US not only to think, but also
to act, for our selves; to see
with our own eyes, and to take
all our measures directly from
the Divine standard; to this
alone we feel ourselves divinely
bound to be conformed, as by
this $40 We must be judged.
We az -, persuaded that as
no man can be judged for his
brother, so no man can Judge
his brother, but that every man
must be allowed to judge for
himself, as every man must
bear his own judgment, must
give an account of himself to
God. We are also of the opinion
chat as the divine word is equal
ly binding upon all, so all lie
under an equally binding obi
cation to be bound by it and it
alone, and not by any human
Interpretation of it, and that
therefore a. no man has a right
TO judge his brother, except in
so far as he manifestly violates
the spirit of the law. Our de-
sires, therefore, for ourselves
and our brethren would be that
rejecting human opinions and
the inventions of men, as Of
any authority, or as having any
place in the Church of God, we
might forever cease from fur
ther contentious about such
things, returning to and hold
ing fast by the original stand
ard, taking the Divine word
alone for our rule, the Holy
spirit for ouc teacher and guide,
TO lead us all into all truth, and
Shrist alone as exhibited in the
word, for our salvation that, by
so doing, we may be at peace
among ourselves, follow peace
among ouselves, follow peace
With all men and boldness with.
out which no man shall see God.
That the Campbells did not
propose to establish a new
church, but to restore the Apos
|tolic church in all of it's simpli
city of custom and belief is
clearly shown by a careful read
ing Of their literature upon the
subject. They were engaged
not in an attempt to build up 2
new church, but to restore the
church of the New Testament

FIND BULLET bY.X RAYS
r. J. Engle

Another Of the wonders of science
was shown in a practical way for the
first time here last Tuesday, when a
bullet was removed from a boys leg
after being located by X-rays. The
boy was Tom Reynolds of Hayti, who
shot himself above the knee accid Mt
ally in the morning. DIR. Davis found
that he could not locate the hall
easily by the usual methods, and so
had the patient brought to Berea,
where Prof Rumold turned the X-rays
on him. BY means of these, which
go thru any thing not mineral or
metal the ball was seen several inch
es from where It was expected o
be. With this information Drs. Da-
Wis and Cowley removed the bullet
without trouble little later. Berea is
very fortunate in having such an ap-
paratus, which makes us as we'll off
as any city so far as finding stray
bullets or other metal objects which
get inside a person are concerned.
The X-rays are also useful in showing
the condition of broken bones and
such matters.
