five years.

Lakes Of Blood.

The name Lake of Blood or it's equiv
alent has been given to places as far
apart as England and South America.
"Sanguelac'-i. e., the Lake Of
Blood-was the name given by the vic
torious Normans to the battlefield at
Hastings, where the SaXons were over
thrown and slain with terrible carnage.
For a similar reason Lake Trasimene
has borne the name "Sanginetto" be-
cause its waters were Redeemed during
the second Punic war by the blood of
some $4,000 Romans who fell before
the troops of Hannibal.
Yet another Lake Of Blood, called
also "Yaguar Cocha." is situated in
the state Of Ecuador. 1t is n Of a
series of lakes formed by the extinct

Among the most extraordinary pieces
Of symbolism known to have been used
by the early Asiatics was a figure Of a
donkey's head used as n representative
of the deity. There is no doubt what
ever that the same emblem was once
used among the Hittites, the Egyptians
and n or two other nations as a sym
boil of their red god, SUIT. The super
stition of the yellow donkey of India,
the story of the swift ass of eastern
Asia and the ass Of Dionysius and
many other marvellous ass stories are
all survivals of that curious form Of
religious worship the alteration of the
ass head.

KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
This Partisan Beggar Realized the
Value of New Shoes.

This Partisan Beggar Realized the
Value of New Shoes.
Begging has long been a great art in
Europe. By using subtle touches of
misery and calculated effects of dis
ease and ACKNOWLEDGMENT the beggar
became a master of pathetic appeal.
A delightful story of Dupre, the sculp-
tor, is quoted by Hamilton w. Mabie
in the Outlook.
Looking out of his window in a hO-
tel one bleak wintry morning in the
good old times, Dupre saw an old beg
gar sitting barefooted on the stone
steps below. His heart was moved
with compassion, and he began to
search for a pair of shoes. He found
two pairs, one of them new.
"Do not give the new pair away;
you will need them yourself" urged
his prudent wife.
"No," said the sculptor, 81 shall find
the old pair more comfortable. More
over, if | am to give anything away
1 am going to give the best have"
SO he hurried downstairs and put the
new shoes in the hands of the bare
footed old man. The next morning the
beggar sat on the steps as usual, and,
as usual, his feet were bare. Dupre
hurried down to him. "Where are the
shoes | gave you? You are not wear
ing Them" he said.
mo" replied the old man, II could
not wear them, excellency. If l did
nobody would give me anything. 1
have pawned them"

CURING BAD HABITS.
Try a Little Self Hypnotism On Your
Pet Weaknesses.

In a large eastern city is a profess
sional hypnotist who has Il wide repu-
tation for curing the habit Of intern
perance. His method is dirt simple.
"There is no real ~hypnotism about it
unless it is a matter of self hypno-
tism," this professor once said. Il
simply observe the mind process Of the
man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse it. The s~ubconscious solil-
oquy in the mind of the man that
drinks runs something like this:
When did | have my last ball?
Whew! Long as that! l don't see how
/ stood it so long. Wouldn't have
thought 1t possible And SO on the
victim repeats to himself on the prin-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as it is necessary to
heap coal on to fire to keep 1t from
burning out. In a word, that man self
h%ypnotiZes himself into the belief that
he needs a drink.
"My advice to cure this craving is
not to fight the appetite, but to fight
down the cause that leads to the APP
petite. Let n man repeat to himself
over and Oyer again: L really don't
need this drink. If | take it, it's sim
ply a matter Of pouring so much down
my throat superfIuously, for l could
get along without Before long he
will be surprised how instead of hyp-
nothing himself into drink he will

Simple, isn't it? But if this self
hypnOtism or whatever you choose to
call it is a cure for intemperance why
is it not equally a recipe for curing
other bad hahits?-Chicago Tribune.

SUPREME COURT TO
PASS ON VALIDITY OF
LOCAL ROAD LAW
SAME QUESTION RAISED IN A
CASE FROM COUNTY OF
MONTGOMERY.
DECIDE At PRESENT TtRM
Judge Tyler Of Lower Court Holds
That Where County Came Within
Population Limits by Last Federal
Census Act Remins iood.

The question of the validity OF the
Maury county road law about which
there has been so much discussion
since the announcement of the last
census and over which faction Is at
tempting to make political capital will
be decided by the Supreme Court of
the State probably before the leglsla-
ture shall again convene. And it Is
also quite probable that the act will
be sustained, that at least is the opin-
ion of many eminent lawyers and if
it is all the labors of mass meetings
and committees will come to naught
for the law is generally satisfactory
and admittedly good one.
The Maury county law is not direct
T. before the SUP: eme Court buG iudi-
.ectly it is, that is the same question
involved in the local act has been
raised in a criminal case from Mont
gomery county that will be decided
by the court at it's present sessions In
that case the stock law is at issue.
Judge Tyler, of the criminal courC of
Montgomery county, has sustained the
law and has held that where law Is
within the population limits defined
by the initial or basic census that it
continues to remain in force regard
less of the subsequent census returns.
The stock law which raises the
question in the Supreme Court is the
case of Hall VS.. the State, was passed
to apply only to Montgomery county
and has this qualifying clause, shall
apply to counties having not less than
certain population and not more than
certain population by the census Of
1900 or. any subsequent federal cen
sus."
1t is the contention of the State In
the case referred to, contention that
was sustained in the lower court, that
the law is valid notwithstanding the
objection that the census of the coun-
ty does not now come within the linn
its fixed in the act. 1t is the conten-
tion of the able attorney general for
the State that once within the law "by
the census Of 1900" the county re-
mains within the law. Attorney Gen.
eral Gates made an able argument
for the upholding of the law and 1t Is
probable that his contention will pre-
vail.
