the winged and happy children of the
air that summer holds beneath her
dome OF blue, were known and loved
the yellow autumn fields. the golden
stacks, the happy homes of men. the
orchards bending boughs. the sumach's
flags of flame. the naples with trans
figured leaves. the yellow OF the beech,
the wondrous harmonies of brown and

rhythmic sounds of natures busy strife.
the hum of bees, the songs of birds.

THE BIBLE.

THE BIBLE.
Three hundred years ago next April
Barker. the kings printer in London,
published q book which had a great
vogue.
1t is still ~'the best seller"
The book had its beginnings back in
the mists Of the worlds infancy. and
its latest sentences were penned 1900
years ago.
1t has been conned by the wise of
earth. discussed for centuries. and por-
tons OF it's text have been memorfzed
by millions 1t has been purchased In
numberless editions. and yet
Its sales are growing.
Its present popularity Is attested by
the fact that the Bible societies Of this
country and Of Great Britain-to say
nothing Of those in other countries
and Of hundreds Of private publishers
print and publish each year between
nine and ten million copies.
Moreover
Since the era Of printing literally
billions of copies Of the book have
been printed. circulated and read.
To US Of the English speaking world
the translation Of 300 years ago by
forty-seven leading scholars of King
James reign is the most interesting.
Revised and rewritten again and
again. 1t remains today substantially
the same
Men have fought for the book and
died for It,
1t has been carried by the most dar-
ing heroism to earth's remotest
bounds.
1t has informed childhood. comforted
age and afforded inspiration for every
forward movement of the race.
Now
Is 1t not significant that today It
i, should be 1.-The best seller Of all print
ed books?
And
Putting aside the reasons which
make 1t for millions the most precious
book extant. how may its popularity
be accounted for by those who are dis
posed to measure the value of things
by commercial standards?
| Must not Its material success be
accounted for by its value to human
ity?
How else will you explain the phe
nomenon of the Bible as the best sell
ing book in any language7

STOCKHOLDERS

LIABILITIES OF STOCKHOLDERS
After an Ohio railroad company had
become fnsolvent a scheme OF reorgani-
alton was evolved by which new COM
pany was to assume and pay the debts
OF the old company, whatever they
might be, out of the proceeds of bonds
Ito be subsequently issued. These bonds
contained provision that. in consider
alton of the holders being given lien
on the company's property, they waived
all rights and claims against the
stockholders. The sale of the bonds
did not, however, net a SUFFICIENT
amount to liduidate all the cid debts.
An action was instituted against one
of the old stockholders who had de-
posted his stock and accepted reor-
ganiation certificate therefor. The
United States circuit court held that.
SO far as the old debt was not provided
for. defendant was still liable for the
statutory ouble liability 1t was also
held that federal jurisdiction was sus-

The cool spell that was figured upon
to displace the record-breaking hot
wave in the east and the south sweryed
a bit from its schedule yesterday, and
all this section Of the country again
sweltered with high marks on. the
weather map all along the line. The
mercury still kept in the nineties.
Early yesterday morning refreshing
breeze prevailed from the northeast,
but this soon diminished and at times
during the afternoon it seemed To die
ont entirely.
Showers have lowered the tempera-
ture through the Mississippi valley, the
lake regions, the Ohio valley and the
Gulf states during the past two days.
The storm center was headed this way,
being scheduled to reach the Atlantic
coast by today, but it lost its way out
in the Ohio valley.
The weather bureau, however, stated
last night that the heat wave which
has held this section in its grasp for
more than week, is about to be
broken by series of transforms which
are now central over the Ohio valley,
and which are moving slowly toward

a farce, was anything but pleasing TO

Alexandria won an easy victory by
hitting hard and fielding we'll, except
in one inning. As usual that one
inning was devoted to an exhibition OF
