Womans Realm Of Home.

A woman holds q higher place
Than a king upon his throne;
He rules his kingdom by his power
She by her love alone. 49,.
Eeath holds no better thing than this
No greater power for good;
The highest gift God a bestoW'
A noble wOmanhoOd.
This is the work He gives to them,
To comfort, guide and bless;
To drop on bruised and aching hearts
The balm of tenderness.
Better to be q queen of home,
Loving and brave and true,
To live so all may find this world
Better because OF you.
Better to kiss a little face,
Dimpled and pure and sweet;
Better to guide with loving a +
The hating minds and feet;
Better to feel the tender clasp
OF child arms round your neck
Than to sit upon the proudcst throne
With nations at your beck.

House Appropriation Bill Calls for Un- precedented Amount for Purpose A Dollar a Day for Of

Washington, D. C.-"Never has there been such elasticity in the ad- ministraton of the pension laws as now" said pension official. Pension laws are subject to interpretation of course. and the policy of the admins tration naturally influences the ad- ministrators of those laws While we were granted wide latitude under past presidents, and then had to check up again, l want to say there never was a time when We felt so free to over look the fine points as right now"
 Recent rulings of the secretary of the interior make it comparatively easy for old soldiers with honorable and dishonorable discharges from their respective services, to secure a soldier with dishonorable discharge from first service, then a re.enlist- ment and an honorable discharge after faithful service from his se- cond enlistment, ruling of February 27. 1910, almost assures the soldier a clean bill of health The pension bureau. however, can not get from under the law requiring full ninety day service under the law of 1890

 There will be two reports on this bill covering retired officers pay.

Sherwood of Ohio, Dem, ocrat, will join with the Republican in support of the bill. and it is he who has already tackled to the bill an amendment providing for pay to officers of this roll who were injured In action. His amendment grants them a dollar a day pension for the re mainder of their lives.

 At o'clock Monday morning Night Marshal Carroll, while walking his beat, was confronted by two masked men. He was blindfolded and taken to the bank building. where he was bound and gagged and placed in a room The robbers drilled the vault of the bank and exploded seven charges of dynamite or nitroglyeerin before the cash was reached. Forty five minutes were required in this work and the robbers escaped. leav. ing the officer in the building.

ALLEN WINS CONTEST
SUPREME COURT DECIDES UNI.
 VERSlTY TREASURERsHIP.
Funds re Now Available for institu. ton After a Legal Contest
 of Long Standing.

Little Rock.-In a decision handed down by the supreme court D. NJ. Al | len was declared to be the duly elect ed treasurer of the Board of Trust ees of the University of Arkansas. w. H. Morton. the former treas urer contested the election of Allen, and the decision brought an end to long controversy that has tied up most of the funds of the university for the past several months. On account of the controversy as to who was lected treasurer the state auditor and the sstate treasurer de- clined to honor vouchers and war rants on the university fund on the ground that they were not expected to determine for themselves who was treasurer, but that the task belonged to the courts. Now that the supreme court has decided that Allen is the treasurer the state officials will hon. or his vouchers.
 For about four months the mem bers of the university faculty and all those who draw salary from the state for work in connection with that institution have been unable to cash their vouchers with the state. As result a number of them have been discounting their vouchers at the Fayetteville banks. Other items of expense in connection with the university have been tied up in the same way.
 The decision of the supreme court sustains Governor Donaghey, who stood behind Allen in the contro- versy. The governor is ex-oficio chairman of the board of trustees and votes in the case of a tie At the board meeting in Fayetteville on June s, 1909, ballots were cast for treasurer of the board. On the first ballot four votes were cast for w. H Morton, the former treasurer. two for D. NJ. Allen and one for r. P Hall. One ballot was blank The | second ballot resulted in four votes | for Morton and four for Allen The vote being tie, the governor cas- l | elected treasurer
 The election was contested in the
 lower court by Morton. who claimed that he was elected on the first bal lot, when he secured four votes more than any of the other candi dates.
 In the lower court five of the trust ees testified that they voted for Nor. ton on both ballots. However. Il
 was argued on the other hand. that none of the trustees objected to or protested against the ballots. Both Morton and Allen qualified
 as treasurer, but the governor ap
 proved Aliens bond and refused to recognize Mortons claims.
 The trial court found that Morton was elected treasui CT and ordered that Allen be busted from office. Al len then appealed to the supreme
 court, and the decision just handed lower court.

RECEPTION CALLED

PAsT0R ATTACKS THE VATICAN
Rev. Tippe's Statement Expressed Great Satisfaction That the Ex- President Did Not Have Audi.
 ence With Holy Father.

Rome, Italy. = Colonel Roosevelt s planned reception to the Amercian colony has been called off as result of the anti-Natican statement issued Monday by the Rev MT ripple, head of the American Methodist church in Rome
 The Rev MT Triples statement was issued after he had called on Col Roosevelt. In it he expressed the greatest satisfaction that the ex-pres- ident did not have an audience with the pope.
 This is the statement in full to which Col Roosevelt took exception:
 While the work of Methodism in Rome started the rumpus, it is no longer Methodism, or any other ism, but the great principle of toleration Mir Roosevelt has struck a blow for twentieth century Christianity
 The representatives of two great republics have been the ones to put the Vatican where it belongs. Presi- dent Loubet refused to aceede to Vatican conditions. and now. Mr Fair banks and MT Roosevelt come to maintain the dignity and independence of American manhood in the face of Vatican tyranny.
 The Vatican is incompatible with republican principles. This is bitter dose for patriotic Catholics in Amer ica to swallow I wonder how many doses of this sort they will take be- fore they revolt.
 'Is Catholicism in America to be American or Romish? If Romish, then every patriotic American should rise to crush it, for Roman Catholi- cism is the uncompromising foe of freedom.
 After the Fairbanks episode, the Methodists never dreamed that the Vatican would commit a similar blum der with Mir. Roosevelt Tha. it has done so is added proof that the policy prevailing there is the same yester- day. today and forever. The Vatican Is the Vatican The world advances. but the Vatican never.
 Americans can now better under stand how it is that the Roman church has lost France and is losing Spain and Austria
