HARDsHlps ENDURED BY TRUTH.
Why She Took Up Her Abode At the
Bottom Of q Well.

II am Naked" said Truth, and shiv-
cred. "Come here" said the CRATER.
"and I will dress you as you should
be dressed" And so Truth was rugged
out in the garments he provided for
her. She presented a sorry figure, and
many people took her for an effigy.
Looking at ksrself in the glass, she
discovered that something was wrong.
And SO she flung aside the garments
and started farth once more.
Il am still naked" she moaned.
"As If" cried the Scientist, Il hadn't
been waiting all these years to show
you just how you should be CARRIED.
And so he caught her, and fitted her
out with complete wardrobe. 1t GER
tainly looked alluring Truth was
fetching in the extreme. She looked
so convincing that she was almost
ready to believe she had now become,
through the force of outward appear
ances, the real thing. But alas! Her
colors did not wear. AS fast as her
clothes were made for her by this new
tailor they faded. And SO once more
Truth stole away and denuded herself.
Still Naked" she murmured.
A theologian came along.
"And SO" he said, perhaps you will
be ready now to believe that can i'm
prove your appearance" And he
promptly tog.sed her out in surplice
and stole and put a solemn mask on
her face.
Truth stood it as long as she could.
Il am suffocating." she exclaimed
at last, and tore off the mask and the
other robes and started to run away
Come here" said Good Society,
"and | will give you precedence over
the mighty"
But Truth shook her head.
Sorry" she replied, but 1 have a
permanent engagement at the bottom
of a we'll. No one will trouble me
there, as there are too many germs"
And SO Truth found herself at last.

Grief Is an Illness.

Grief is an illness and must be
treated as such. Sorrow. grief and
the emotions caused by all great mis-
fortunes should be regarded as akin
to acute physical rualadies. Recon,
medical observations show that the
physical re1ults of depressing emo
tions are similar to those caused by
bodily accidents. fatigue, chills, partial
starvation and loss of blood. Birds
moles and dogs. which apparently die
in consequence Of capture and from
conditions that correspond in human
beings to broken heart, were examined
after death as to. the. conditions Of
their internal organs. 1t was found
that the nutrition Of the tissues had
been interfered with, and the sub
stance proper of various vital organs
had undergone degeneration.-From

Cedar Rapids, May 2o.-Following
the decision in the Cedar Rapids gas
case, wherein the state supreme court
decided the 9O-cent rate to be fair. and
gave the city power to fix rates for all
public utilities, an agitation was begun
to nave the rates for electric light and

would voluntarily reduce the rates in
the near future. This will probably

Of his readiness to do this.
Judge Jones states that after ask
ing Judge Shelby to sit with him and
being refused by him he tried other
judges and was refused. and that he
himself was then compelled to enjoin
the rates and try the cases. In my
opinion he did not have to do any
thing of the kind.
"The mistake he made was that
he erected himself into a Brobding-
nagian. which obscured the whole State
and all the courts of the State. And

ed him to take as conclusive evidence
the ex parte statements of the rail-
roads that the rates were confiscat-

Rates Not Confiscatory.
The freight schedule has been. In
