A GEM FROM THE BOOK.

The one bright hope Of the
; Jews during all the dark por-
tions of their history, and even
: to to-day among the faithful,
was the thought of the ultimate
: glory and exaltation of their be-
loved Jerusalem.
: There Is such a triumphant
; note Of Joy In this book, and II
: may we'll be subject of con-
: temptation by those of us to-
: day as pointing to a dispersal
ton yet to come.
: Put off, o Jerusalem, the oar
; ment of thy mourning and af-
: Fiction and put on the comeli-
ness of the glory that cometh
: from God forever.
Cast about thee a double oar
ment Of the Righteousness
: which cometh from God; and
set diadem on thine head Of
> the glory of the everlasting.
For God will show thy bright.
: ness unto every country under
heaven.
For thy name shall be called
of God forever, the peace of the

Gods worship.
Arise, o Jerusalem, and stand
on high, and look about towards
the east, and behold thy chill
dren gathered from the west
unto the east by the word of
the holy one, rejoicing in the
remembrance of God.
For they departed from thee

their enemies; but God BRING.

For God hath appointed that
every high hill, and banks Of
long continuance, should be cast
down, and valleys filled up, to
make even the ground, that Is
rael may go safely in the glory
Of God.
Moreover ven the woods and
every sweet-smelling tree shall

For God shall lead Israel with
Joy in the light of his aIory

The proposal to increase the rev.

assessment on corporations is frankly
defended on the ground that the state
is poor and needs the money. Surely,
a straightforward admission. Doubt

Washington, D. c., Nov. 17.-Presi-
dent Taft today settled the North Car
olina census supervisorship which had
been darkening the political moon
around the White House for several
days. Representative Morehead, OF the
Fifth North Carolina district. had
threatened to resign his seat In Con-
gress because he said he was the only
Republican representative who had
not been consulted about the appoint
ment of supervisor in his own dis
trict.
Mr.. Morehead has been visitor at
the White House every day since
President Taft's return, but left this
afternoon entirely satisfied. He had
recommended for appointment {.
friend and supporter named David H.
Blair. The director of the census
however, had secured the appointment
of Prof. J. R. Glasson. Mr.. Morehead
registered a vigorous protest and to-
day the appointment Of Professor
Glasson was revoked and the place
will go to Mr.. Joyce. Professor Glas-
son will be given a position in the

WALSH ASKS RE-HEARING.
Convicted Banker Claims That tn.
Verdict Was Inconsistent.

Chicago, Nov. 17-District Attorney
R. Sims this afternoon filed
the answer of the government to the
petition of john r. Walsh, convicted
of misapplying the funds of the Chiea-
go National Bank, for re-hearing of
his appeal to the Federal Court of
Appeals.
In the answer the government at
torney says that the only new points
raised by the defendant in the petition
which was filed some days ago are the
multiplicity of the counts of the in
dictment and the allegation that the
verdict was inconsistent.
To the objection on the number of
counts, the answer replies that as a
general rule the joining of large
number of counts of an Indictment OPP
crates to the advantage of the defend
ant by enabling him to dispose of all
the charges at one trial; furthermore
the answer declares, no objection to
the multiplicity of counts was raised
at the trial.
The petition for a re-hearing urged
that the verdict was inconsistent be
cause the jury found the defendan
guilty on separate counts relating tt
the same transaction, but in which
the allegations were contradictory, 81
that If he were guilty of the fact
charged in one count he could no
have been guilty as charged in an
other.
To this the government replies tha
the verdict is in effect a general ver
dict in which all the counts are in
cluded; that the Inconsistency, if an
exists in the verdict, is upon inmate
rial points, and lastly, that there
no substantial difference between tn
counts.
q Should the petition for a re-hearin
be denied by the Court of Appeals th
only avenue for a reversal will be d
? application for writ of certiorari.

CATTLE TICKS LESSEN THE
YIELD OF BEEF AND MILK
The Loss Amounts i'm the Aggregate
to Many Millions of Dollars
Every Year.

A cattle tick that has reached the
engorged stage weighs about five
grains, and about 1900 such ticks
weigh a pound. AS cattle in the tick
region often carry many thousands of
these 4blood-sucking parasites, and as
each tick during the period of its at
tachment to an animal draws consid-
erably more than it's own weight in
blood, it can be seen that these ticks
constitute an enormous drain on the
cattle which they infest. This &C
counts for the fact that under such
conditions it is impossible to fatten
cattle ever on rich pasture and with
all abundance of good feed. A large
l.art of the nourishment that should
60 toward producing beef and mills
is consumed by the ticks. In addition
| to the loss of blood and nourishment
there is the never-ceasing irritation
caused by the ticks, SO that the exist
ence o. the infested cattle is besei
with continuous suffering, and this o.
course also tends to keep them IL
poor condition.
The shrinkage in the milk produc
| ton of a COW harboring many ticks
/ will average one quart day, and thu
loss occasioned thereby at three cent
a quart for the $4,000 ticky dairy cat
4 tie out of more than 100000 beloy
the quarantine line would amount t
$26,250 a day. Counting 800 milkin
days for each COW to the year woul
make the loss from this cause $7,S75
900 per annum.

for the preparation Of dips ar
sprays, the arrangement of pasture

At the evening services Rev. Mrs.

rious tribute to the educational spirit
of the church.
Ex-Mayor Hood, representing the
mayor, welcomed the conference in
behalf of the city, emphasizing the
spiritual as the ideal principle in
the good and great. He seemed not
to have miscalculated or misjudged
his audience when he seized the spir-
