| Telegraph Company and the Independ-
ent lines in Mississippi. whereby the
later connect their lines with the
Cumberland long distance service, the
big corporation will spend about one
and one-half million dollars on i'm
provements and extensions IN this
state.
The pending litigation has been be-
fore the supreme court for several
months, and will probably be disposed
of within the next few weeks. A fort
night since the tribunal held that the
Cumberland, being a common carrier,
is not amenable to the antitrust law
in the matter of rates, as that is
subject for regulation by the railroad
commission, and all complaints rela-
tive to rates and determinations
should be brought before that body,
and not made a subject of litigation in
the courts.
In well informed legal circles it is
believed that this decision paves the
way for another favorable finding for
the corporation on the allegation that
1t eXacts an unfair contract from indie
pendent lines in the clause stipulating
that physical connections shall not be
made with other lines without the
consent of the Cumberland. The lat
ter company holds that this require
ment is absolutely necessary in order
to maintain satisfactory service, as all
local concerns do not use standardized
equipment, and that to require it to
connect with inferior lines would be
unjust, and result in a general de-
mobilization in the transaction of bust
less.
The Cumberland had plans and
specifications prepared for many new
lines and improvements at the time
these suits were instituted at Oxford,
and work was abandoned until they
could be disposed of. The officials

WASHING Your Hands,

When you go to the washstand and
carefully wash your hands with a gen.
erous application of soap and hard
brush do not think for an instant that
your hands are clean. The tenacious
microbe refuses to be disturbed and
clings to the flesh throughout the
whole operation. There are some chem
ical compounds which will dislodge
the busy bacilli to certain extent.
but not entirely. According to the in
vestigations of medical authority of
the Prussian army. the best results in
the direction of giving the hands a
sanitary cleaning are accomplished by
the use of alcohol A bath of pure
alcohol will remove about 80 per cent
of the germs. Where it is desired to
clean the hands hygienically it is rec
commended that the hands be not first
washed with water. for this will so
adulterate the alcohol that it cannot
accomplish its work as effectively as
otherwise

The Story of a Famous Hymn.

The famous hymn beginning God
moves in mysterious way" known
as "Cowper's Hymn" had its orr
gin as follows: Cowper was all his
life the victim of melancholia and
more than once attempted suicide.
One day, bent upon destroying himself,
he got into a cab and ordered the
driver to take him to a certain point
on the river where he intended to
drown himself. The cabman. noticing
his strange appearance and feeling
that all might not be right with him,
drove him about the city and finally
stopped in front of the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the old
familiar surroundings and shocked at
the thought of his narrow escape,
Cowper exclaimed, God moves In
mysterious way his wonders to per-
FORM" and. rushing in, Immediately
composed the immortal hymn.

Tho Man With a Gold.

The sympathy given to the man with
a hard cold is purely perfunctory.
We know. or at least we think we
know, that he will not die. We know
that he is thoroughly wretched, yet
we are equally certain that in three
days or so he will be coming upstairs
two at a time. This does not comfort
him, though he may know it himself
He therefore feels himself an outcast,
a pariah. He is cut off from the
ordinary human relations. If he so
much as kisses his wife or child he
is BLACKBOARD, mentally self convict
ed of it. Nobody loves him, and he
may go out into the kitchen and drink
cough strip. Boston Transcript.

Made Good Escape.
Up to 10 a. m. the two bandits had
evaded the police and citizens, a large
crowd of the latter having joined in
the hunt. Automobiles, motor cycles
and the entire police force followed
the robbers into the sawmill district,
where the robbers are believed to be.
Out on the ice Of st. oLuis bay police
men have been stationed to prevent an
escape into Wisconsin.
AS the bandits are armed, it is
thought that when their place of con-
cealment is discovered there possibly
will be a revolver battle.
"Ho1d Up Your Hands,"
The two boys entered the hotel
about 3.45 o'clock this morning. Clar-
ence Stubsted, the night clerk, and
Charles Feasted were standing beside
the desk.
ssHold up your hands!" shouted one
Of the boys, pointing revolver.
The Hands Went Up.
The clerk and porter thought the
boys were joking. To show that they
we're in earnest, one of the boys fired
a shot through the floor near the desk
and the clerk and porter put thelr
hands up.
Tied 'Em Up.
The youth then marched them into
the dining room and ordered them to
stand up against the large iron post
in the middle Of the room. While one
of the boys covered the two men with
the revolver the other hastily gathered
some table linen and tied their hands
to the post above their heads.
Got the Cash.
The boys then returned ITO the desk
and went through the cash register
taking about $50 in Hash, and made
their escape.
The two men we're later released by

basement and they then gave the
