 "The fee system Is an evil in more ways than one." said Hugh Stokely yes- terday. There should be some remedy for the huge cost bills which hang to both ends of every suit, whether just or unjust. The system of fees is entire ly too costly. and I am of the opinion that our courts could be conducted much cheaper than they are at present. If the practice of paying the officers out of the fees Is abolished then these officers will be glad to see the amount of the fee re- duced. It Is a proposition upon which our legislature should do it's best work D
 "I am against the fee system," said J. M. Perkins, president of the Ensley Commercial club yesterday T believe that the reform should begin a the ground and come up, so the public will be relieved of the preying of officers, and they may be used as servants, as they were intended"

why hast thou torsaken me?' H. felt really forsaken of God. There was seeming iradicrion between rev elation and experience most cruel of all. Yet Jesus held on faithful to God and to God as father. For soon we hear Him cry, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit" A minister told of his failure to obtain the full answer to his prayers, and 'corlforted himself by saying: "The Syrophoenician wcman who had faith more than anyone whom Christ had met, for some inscrutaule reason, failed for a time to get any kind of an answer to her piteous plea for aid She prayed as few of IS have pra, ed, yet He answered her never a word. I was surely no better than she. Yet l have k. pt my faith, and have beaten my way through; have found Him at 'ast, and intend to trust him to the end, in daylight or in gloom It is one of the wonders of Scripture why Christ the Compassionate One put oft the Syrophoenician woman without an answer. But she held to his com na sion, though his silence seemed to belle it. She held to his compassion and prevailed. So ever "The just shall live by faithfullness.

4 PLEA FOR THE DOG.
From. the Boston. Globe.

To the Editor of the Peoples ( Col-
 umn: The account of the mad row of
 Jamaica Plain ir issue of WadnesC ay
 last and supposed to have been bitten
 by dog with rabies recalls a case ex-
 actly similar found in our city few
 months ago. A COW running wildly about the streets was several times cornered. but when approached would charge viciously, and no one dared make a second attempt. She finally fo"nd refuge in a yard and the police were called. but could not get near her she was so savage. Finally one of the officers, man of good judg- ment and a friend of animals, called for pail of water, and as soon as the COW saw it she rushed to it and drained It, besides several others, be- fore she was satisfied, and then al- most like magic she became perfectly calm and was led away without the least resistance, proving beyond question that what was pronounced of thirst. Those of the widest eX- perience and oft quoted as of the highest authority, ridicule all this talk of rabies, and an immense amount of mischief is being uone by so working upon the imagination of the timid and neryods, until now any poor animal seen acting at all excited is pronounced mad and at once set upon and hunted and tortured until 1t becomes desperate. and as it's only means of defence turns snarling and snapping upon it's tormenters, when if provided with water and shelter would in nearly every instance soon return to its normal condition. How many cases of hydrOphObia have been seen by those appointed to decide the rases. ard who among tie dCg's friends has every been able to ex- anime the heads after t'e decision has been rendered? It is only simple justice to the dog and his owner that he should be given a chance, and would suggest that the Animal Res cue League, that is working day and

 upon her husband she advi>od him to
 tell the Lord his perplexity, and
 then be done with serving Him.
 'Dost thou still retain thine integri-
 ty?" she asks. Curse God and die ''
 But Job still served the Lord. Gods
 way for the confused, perpleXed
 Habakkuk was still to follow in f.
 delity to the Lord. Were your off,
 cers drunk or crazy! asked a Rus sian after Ralaklava, that they sent
 500 against 3O,O00?' It was not the part of the 600 to reason why. It
 was theirs to do and die. Thus they
 be anne immortal. Lov@lty is the soldiers life. So God said to Habak-
 kuk, "The just sLall live oy his faith fulness"
 Let us see how this is true ir seve- ral Scripture characters. When Jere- miah was sent about his work God said to him, "They shall fight against thee, but they shall not pre- vail against thet; for am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee" In
 elemiah's life this divine declara- tion seemed often contrary to his eX perience The nen of Anothoth sought his life. His brethren dealt treacherously with him. The exas- perated priests and false prophets demarded his death. He stirred up the wrath of Pashur at whose hands
 Jeremiah underwent harsh treatment aLd imprisonment. Under goirg all this, did it seem as though God was with him? Surely when taken and imprisoned as deserter there was no seeming of Gods presence Lc denver. And when seized later and let down into the Tiry cistern there was no semblanCe of the Lords being at. hand. But through all this seeming failure of the Divine revelation to stand before experience, the Divine word failed not. The seeming con tradictiOn faded away as cloud cvaporates and disappears from sight. Mary, Martha and Lazarus knew that Jesus was their friend So when I.aIarIs fell sick the sisters sent word to Jesus, saying: "He whom. thou lowest is sick" How contra dlct0ry lo friendship was our Lords conduct. Though He knew of Lazar- us sicknes He abode two days still in the place where He was. Net till Lazarus had died did Jesus show any disposition to go to his friends. Th.u"h there was plainly seeming contradiction between His conduct ..rd lis love for them. the sisters yet hold to His friendship and love. For directly after pouring out her com plaint "Gf thou hadst been here my brother had not died" Martha said, But know that even now whatSO- ever thou shalt ask of God God will give it thee" Christ's friendship was sure. The sisters still trusted to it though its continuance seemed to be 1rnKeL. Istian nas given a precious promise in the 43d chapter verse two: When thou passeth through | the waters will be with thee; and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee; when thou Walkest through the fire though shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kin dle upon thee" Surely if anyone might hope to claim this promise it was the Lord himself. Yet what do we find? When He hung upon the cross He cried, My God, My God,

Papke's nose to bleeding. and the first
three rounds we're Flynn's by a wide

ened out and held his own until he
