Property Rights Reach Sky.

A law framed thousands of years
ago by the ancient Romans, and the
only one bearing on the subject, may
have to be amended or wholly nulli-
fed before airshfps go shooting about
through space at their own sweet
will. This important fact was brought
out at a meeting of aeronauts IN
London only a few days ago. At
present nobody has a right to ny
across occupied land. The world is
governed by the ancient Roman law,
"Usuue ad Coelum." 1t e that
every landowner has a right to the
air above his head as far up as he
chooses to go, and can get an injunc-
ton to restrain any one from flying
through it. So far nobody has at
tempted to put the law into force.
1t would be most uncomfortable, not
to say disastrous, for a farmer sud-
denly to emerge from his barn or
smoke house and pepper ones airshlp
with bullets. The fact that the aero
naut from his lofty perch could not
be expected to see the mo Trespass'
sight might not prove a mitigating
circumstance with the rural ,magis-
trate.-Pittsburg Eagle-Times.

Missouri Brewers in fearful Plea.
That Prohibition sentiment has
made itself felt in Missouri is dem

forts of the prominent brewers of st.
Louis to stem the tide. Adolphus
Busch has addressed 4 letter to the
people of the State in which. after
telling them of his great confidence
in their good sense, he hints that, If
he is mistaken in them. he will leave
not only the city but the State. Il
personally would deeply regret leav-
ing st. LOUIS" he walls, because l
love the city, but, of course, if we

Mr.. Busch had been taking too much
of his ~favorite beverage. AS to the
reasons why his business should be
conserved, the big brewer, with that
blindness to the larger interests Of
the race which Is characteristic of sa-
loon advocates everywhere, says:
"Our industry Is a perfectly legiti-
mate me-. 1t Is one of the greatest
revenue payers to the National, State
and city governments. and one of the
largest employers of labor; therefore
why should it, not be maintained and
sustained?" If Mr.. Busch really
wants an answer to his question. he
might consult the records of the iails,
almshouses and lunatic asylums
throughout the country If that in
. vestigation does not satisfy him he
can ask the homes in the State of
Missouri which liquor has practically
destroyed. After that he might get
busy trying to explain how big rev.
enues to the various taxing bodies
can make amends for losses such as
have been indicated. Mr.. Busch's
real complaint is, of course, the fear
of himself and his associates losing
revenue if Prohibition wins. The av-
erage brewers interests in the people
may usually be. counted with a GER
tain figure which has a definite re-
semblance to the letter O.-North-
western Christian Advocate.

Rejoice in Him.

The sainted Fletcher, in writing to
q friend, said: use no forced labor
to raise a particular frame; nor tire
fret and grow impatient, If you have
no comfort; but meekly acquiesce,
and confess yourself unworthy of It.
Lie PROSTATE in humble submission
before God, and patiently wait for the
smiles of Jesus"
Perhaps while sitting in the sane
tuary or amid life's pressing duties, q
tired, tagged feeling steals over the
spirit. What shall we do? Get
right still before God. Them
breathe a prayer like unto this:
Lord, 1 am wholly Thine, and Thou
art all mine. I wait before Theei
give me the bread that I need for this
work, whether it be to sit in humilia-
ton and establishment, or In agony
and travail Of soul for others, or In,
the garden of temptation beset by
bowling demons, or in holy quietnesa
gazing into Thy blessed face, or With
the heart leaping With u~nutterabldt
JOY; I will accept it as my portion
for Thine honor, and will go away
rejoicing in having thus been fed.
But, better still, look away from
all kinds of feeling to Him who Ia
thy portion. If thy life sail given
to Him, He dwells In thine heart
Rejoice in having Him reigning with;
in, and it matters not whether thou
art thrilled with ~pleasurable emo
lions, or art passing through severe
trial.. The Lord is thy treasure, and
thou canst rejoice continually in haF.
ing Him as thine own. -
Brother, when thou art tempted to-
feel discouraged, 1t is because thou
art looking too much at the diff,
culties; take thine eyes OF these and
fix them on Jesus, then thy spirit viii
be made glad in the Lord. Peter did
not begin to sink until he got his eyes
off Jesus, and went to looking att
the waves rolling about him. The
trouble gets larger the longer we
look at it; whatever may be the de-
pressing influences around thee, keeE
thy mind stayed on the Lord" and
HE will keep thee in perfect peace
(Isaiah 26:3.)-Living Water.
