highest offices ever filled by man. In
this eulogy we need to recall the diff

Jesus words in verse Is are tremen-

John and about my kingdom. now you

THE lNVALID'S TRAY.

Small quantities only should be
placed before the invalid. The serv-
ing should be as dainty as possible. A
sprig of parsley adds much to the APP
petizing appearance Of any savory
dish, and the variety should be as
large as the prescribed diet will per-
NIT. Never let the patient feel faint
for the want Of food.
Do not consult the invalid about
meals il it can be avoided; an unex-
pected dish will sometimes create a
relish for food. Beef tea and soups
should always be free from grease.
Warm food is more easily digested
than cold. Everything should be the
freshest procurable, particularly fish,
milk and eggs. Barley water is a
nourishing diluent for milk when the
latter is not easily digested.

This is the last lesson with the ex-
ception Of one that we are to have
upon the character of John the Bap-
list. Following the Imprisonment Of
John by Herod, Jesus, for diplomatic
reasons, made Capernaum his head
quarters, and 1t was in Galilee that his
great popular ministry was performed
Meanwhile John is shut up in the fort
Tess at Machaerus, on the east side Of
the Dead sea- For one who had been
30 intensely active to be obliged to
sit idly by and wait while anothers
name and fame increases daily was a
severe test of faith. His prototype,
Elijah, had to meet a similar testing
Il Kings 10: 8, ~; why, therefore,
need we wonder that doubts should
arise In the mind of the greatest
born OF woman?" Not one of us at
all familiar with the experiences Of
life and the subtility Of temptation
will be surprised when under these
circumstances we read of Johns ques-
ton, v. 2-6. This doubt is so natural
that 1t bears upon its very face the
stamp of being genuine and that the
record was not fabricated. It is no
ticable in the form of Johns question
that he had no doubt as to the char
acter Of Jesus, the genuineness of his
miracles, nor any question but that he
was sent Of God, but still he ques-
toned, 'is this the Messiah?"
John was not envious John 3:27-36),
he was too great a man to be that,
but yet Jesus had not welded the ak
as he had expected, hence the mes
senger to Jesus and this frank ques-
ton. John sets us the good example
Of taking his doubts to Jesus, and
Jesus in a most tender way answers
his doubling and at the same time
turns 1t to his own advantage in con.
t1rming his claims as the Messiah.
John Sought Not His Own Glory.
The second half of the lesson Is the
tribute of Jesus to the life and char.
acter OF John the Baptist Jesus has,
as we have just seen, sent his word of
comfort and cheer to John when he
turns to the multitudes with a highly
eulogistic testimony as to Johns work,
his worth and his greatness. True. his
faith seemed to be shaken for the mo-
ment, but John was not reed sha-

Action Of City Council in
Changing Ward Lines
May Cause Trouble
ROTATION IS DESTROYED
Nominations to Be Made in
Fourth and Fifth Wards
Anyhow

That the method adopted by the
city council, in redistricting the wards
and assigning councilmen is likely
to lead to complications at the coming
promary elections, is the opinion of
a leading attorney who has looked
into the subject. When the ward
boundaries We're changed, the coun-
cilmen in several instances found
themselves in a different ward from
that from which they were elected
and were assigned to the new wards,
in which they CHANGED to reside.
1t is this procedure that is like
ly to cause trouble. 1t is claimed that
the law provides that, when ward lines
are changed, councilmen shall serve
out the uneXpired portions of their
terms from the wards from which
they We're elected, thus preserving
the rotation of electing one each year
from each ward. The action of the
council has resulted in a call for the
election of two members from the first
ward, and two from the sixth, while
none are to be elected from the fourth
or fifth.
This utterly destroys the object and
intent of the law, it is said, to have
one vacancy in each ward each year
and, if it proves lawful, will have
the effect of electing two councilmen
from the first, fourth, fifth and sixth
wards at each election in the future
a condition said to be utterly repug.
nant to the law. At any rate, the
matter will be tested. The Herald is
informed that in the fourth and fifth
wards, where no councilmanic elec-
tions have been called, caucuses will
be held on the day of the primary elec-
tions, and candidates for the council
named from those wards, and that
in the event the city clerk refuses
as under the city ordinances he prob.
ably will-to place the names upon
the regular election ballots, the mat.
ter would be tested in the courts. AT
the present writing it looks like there
is trouble ahead.

CHURCH PROPERTY
When Such Property Is Exempt

OLYMPIA, Feb. 21.-So long as a

erty is exempt from taxation, holds
the supreme court today in revers-

of Steilacoom, appellant. Suit was
started to foreclose on tax lien is
sued in 1905, when the church occu-

away, but at the time in question was
still there. The court also says in

from taxation church parsonage
must be located on the same lot as

Tools

With the arrest of A. E. Harrington,
a street car conductor on the Broad
wayCosmopolis run, and w. II. Ma
han, machinist, by Chief of Police
Templeman and Captain of Police
Tribbetts, the authorities believe they
have captured two of the smoothest
'counterfeters ever in this section.
The police also secured number
of counterfeting tools, among them
being dies for making SO gold pieces.
In addition to this, a number of coins,
rough counterfets OF 50 gold pieces,
evidentally made from tive-cent pieces
were taken from the men.
The arrest follows several months
of clever detective work by Officers
Templeman and Tribbetts. Some
time ago a tip was given the officers
and they began working on the. case.
They had every reason to suspect
Harrington of being one of the men
in the game and Yesterday evening,
armed with warrant, went to his
home in North Aberdeen, near the
Fern Hill cemetery Here they search
ed the house and failed to find any
evidence. The officers then went to
the wood shed, where they found a
complete outfit. Here were tools for
cutting the coins to the right size,
and also the dies for counterfeiting
$10sgold pieces. The work was done
with aid of the press, melting pots,
metal, acids, scales and blow pipes.
Harrington was Immediately taken
into custody and locked in the city
Jail.
The police then started out to 10.
cate Mahan and arrested him as he
came out of Douglas Brothers ma
chine shop at F and River streets
He had just completed making the
parts of another die. AS the officers
We're bringing him up F street to
the police station, he attempted to
get rid of a spurious S. gold piece
but Chief Templeman caught his wrist
and forced him to give up the coin
Mahan was taken to the police sta
tion and an hour later, Sheriff Payette
arrived on the scene with his auto
mobile and took him to Montesano
for safe keeping.
In Mahan's room was found con
siderable melted metal, also few
coin shaped pieces of metal, besides
other material. The dies used were
all made by Mahan, who is an eX-
pert machinist and the various pieces
are the best indications Of this abil-
ity as a mechanic.
Harrington is married and has a
wife and little daughter.

gress only, and not the supreme
court of the United States, may OBJ
ject to the initiative and referendum
method. of legislation in the states,
the high tribunal decided yesterday:
The supreme court held that the
question of whether a state still main
tanned a republican form of govern
ment guaranteed by the federal con-
stitution after it adopted the initia-
tive and referendum was problem
for congress. and not a judicial one
for the courts.
The question was based on the con
tention of the Pacific States Tele-
phone & Telegraph company that a
tax upon it. imposed by the initiative
and referendum method in Oregon
was unconstitutional. The initiative
and referendum provisions in Miss
ouri, California, Arkansas, Colorado,
South Dakota, Utah, Montana, Maine
and Arizona hung in the balance. An
adverse decision would have affected
the proposed legislation of that char.
acter in many other states.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision of the court. None of the
justices dissented. The court also
gave a similar decision in reference
to an ordinance in Portland, Ore, for
the construction of bridge.
"singuiar Misconception"
The chief justice said that "a sing
ular misconception' had existed on
both sides of the case, but that "the
mists and confusion were dispelled
by the decision Of Chief Justice Taney
years ago in which he disposed OF
the DORIS rebellion question. That
was the case of Luther VS.. Borden, he
said, and decided that the enforce

After nearly two months of delay,
the case of r. J. Hits to regain his
seat on the city council, from which
body he was expelled, is in the super

trial in March. The matter is now

city officials were told to file answer
to Hits papers by Tuesday night or
be cited for contempt. The papers
have been filed and the city admits
all of the charges made by Hits.
With the case in the courts. all the
members of the council will be call

COURT RULES ON
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2O.-That
the offer of corporation to purchase
land from prospective entrymen as
soon as the latter have complied with
the provisions necessary to obtain
| from the government title to such
lands is legal, is the gist of ruling
made yesterday by Judge w. B. Gill
bert in the United States circuit
court of appeals.
Conspiracy Was Alleged
| The case decided was that of the
government against the Barber Lum-
ber company and others for alleged
conspiracy to defraud the government
OF large tracts of timber lands in
Idaho by the use of dummy entry
men,"
Judge Gilbert referred to various
precedents, emphasizing the ruling
in the famous Budd and Clark cases,
and said:
Not ChargeabIe With Fraud
"The decision of the present case
is ruled by legal principles announced
in the Budd case and in the Clark
case. Those decisions are authorit y
for the proposition that person or
corporation desiring to acquire title
to large body of timber lands of
the United States under the timber
and stone act may express that desire
to another, and may enter into an ag-
reement with him to buy the lands
upon his obtaining title thereto; and
may loan him the money with which
to acquire title, and may inspect and
select the lands, and that such per-
son or corporation is not bound to
inquire into the method by which the
other party to the contract acquires
title, and is not chargeable with know
ledge of any fraud upon the land laws
that he may resort to, and that in
taking title based upon the issuance
of final receivers RECEIPT to the entry
man without actual knowledge of such
fraud or of the facts sufficient to put
one upon inquiry such person or cor
poration is an innocent purchaser of
the land"
