Lines suggested by looking at magnificent
uary, known as Inspiration in the window of italian art
store at 220 South Broadway Angeles
Fair child of from lent
A face soul sweet,
A life chasc
That angels love and long
There is a charm about thy grace
That holds that magic spell
The soul is held i Deisc
BY m@er force tell.
Beautiful as the goddess of Love-
Bright the of midnight sky
Serene the angels from above
When sorrows have passed them by.
Peacefully thy gaze high,
Sublime within;
Men charmd by the thine
And vanished from sin.
A garland o leaves harvest sheayes
Adorns thy head in grand array;
Enchanting the siege memory leaves
Of sacred wreaths that around thee play
Radiant light impars
To the spiritual being aone
Buoyant with hope that fills the
Of those who ascend to his throne.
Realms Of beauty, spirit and prayer
Are conveyed in those eyes divine
Only sacred thoughts welcomed there
And only sainted thoughts thine,
No arer face

In the present in the past
Than this beautiful Inspiration.

ton, As a result of the discoveries
made by Fred Cook and other sleuths
in the employ of the department of
the interior, the announcement made
by President Taft and Secretary of
the Interior Fisher that they had de.
eided to remove from office the entire
council of the Usage tribe of Indians
for insubordination stands, and it is
known that other charges have been
filed against Chief Bacon Rind and
his assistant, Red Eagle.

Oil Lease Conspiracy?

It was brought to the attention Of
the secretary of the interior more
than two years ago that something
was radically wrong with the business
affairs of the Osages and that the men
who should be working for the best
interests Of the tribe were apparently
being controlled by some outsiders
who We're trying to secure leases on
the oil and gas lands in the central
and western part of the nation. The
council went so far as to make blan-
ket lease but 1t was turned down by
the department OF the interior, and
new regulations were provided. The
government also ordered new cleo
ton and ordered Bacon Rind, Red
Eagle and others removed from office.
The leases were sold under the gov
|ernment regulations but the sales
were all rejected by the Usage council.
While all this work was going on,
Cook and his assistants were at work
and it is understood they have bagged
the Usage council, several attorneys
and oil men and one ex-oliiclal Of

Gently contributed to the proceedings of
the American Philosophical Society Mr.
T. j, j. See declares that the depth of the
Milky Way decidedly exceeds a million
light-years. and substantially accords
with the profundity of interstellar space
as estimated by Sir William Herschel
40 years ago. The late Prof Newcomb,
as well as other contemporary astrono-
mers, held that the estimates of Sir Will
liam were far too great. They believed
that he put the remotest star from 100 to
LOCO times too far away. Now, however.
modern science swings back to the older
view. Fashions in astronomy may change
more slowly than fashions in clothes, but
both seem to move in cycles,

a moment before.
The right arm hung by a shred
of flesh, practically all of the hair
had been wrenched from her
head, the jaw-bones protruded
through the flesh, both legs were
broken, three ribs smashed and
she was badly injured internally.
For months, every inch of her
body covered with plaster cast,
she lay helpless. If a fly lit on her
face she waited in misery for
some one to~discover and brush it
off. She could not make a sound
nor move a muscle.
The railroad company settled
out of court for $4,000. Of this
amount Mrs. Churchill, unable
even to dress herself, will get
maybe $500 to care for herself
and her little girl the remainder
of her days. Her husband has
left her. Hers is a living death.
In Bonner county, Idaho,
where the case was first tried,1a
jury awarded her $4,000 dam

railroad attorneys the verdict was
set aside as excessive and new
trial granted by Judge Flynn.
Four men on the jury that
awarded the $4,000 damages
held out for 100000. They were
men untampered by any intricate
knowledge of the law.% They
heard Mrs. Churchill's story and
they saw her mutilated body.

SETS OFF THE DINING TABLE
lrIdeseent Glass candIestlck Is Recon-
mended as Most Highly Desirable
Ornament.

II tired Of the ordinary silver or
glass candlestick for the table, try
those Of iridescent glass. They come
in many tones Of opalescence and a
variety Of graceful shapes.
Sometimes just the candlestick is of
the glass with shade of paper or
lace, but far the handsomest ones
have the candlestick, the patent hold
er for the candle, and the bell-like
shade of the iridescent glass. 0cca-
sionally the shade is paler tone than
the holder.
Candlesticks Of white Dresden are
attractive to use with the low white
Dresden or Belleek or Italian majolica
flower vases in sections. A white
candle, unshaded, is in keeping with
these holders. For shade use one
entirely white or white decorated
with green ferns.
The colonial candlestick Of glass
should be severe in line, especially II
1t be Of pressed glass. 1t will be CIV
en- distinction by using a white candle
the patent white glazed holders are
best-with a lingerie shade, embroid-
cred in an open design in eyelet and
finished with a picot edge.
AS a change, use with the colonial
candlestick a colored candle, with a
shade of the same shade Of silk COW
cred with fllet lace. The four-sided
square shade can be easily made by
joining the squares of imitation tilet
with q narrow insertion.
II you have Canton china, use can
dlesticks of the same ware and shades

to match those on the china.
