A levins soul is superior to circum-

and disappointments. We are FAINT
liar with PauI's saying that "aH things
work together for good to them that
love God;" but perhaps we do NOT
realize as we should that this result
is not an arbitrary reward, but is con
ditioHed upon the Characters Of our
hearts. The love Of God cannot max
all events blessed for us till It dwell

the blessedness Of being served BY al
events can be apprehended only 81
those who Ieve him. Love finds the
combination that unloeks every tired

The physicians cane is a very an- cient part of his insignia. It is new disused, but up to very ancient times no doctor of medicine would have presumed to pay professional visit, or even to be seen in public, without this mystical wand. Long as a foot mans stick, smooth and vanished, with heavy gold knob or cross-bar at the top, it was an instrument with which, down to the present century, every prudent aspirant to medical practice was provided. The celebrat- ed "gold-headed cane" which Rad cliffe, Mead, Askew, Pitcairn and Baillie successively bore, is preserved in the College of Physicians, bear ing the arms which those gentlemen assumed, or were entitled to. In one respect it differed from the physi- cian's cane proper; it had a cross- bar, almost like d crook; whereas a physicians wand ought to have 8 knob at the top. This knob in olden times was hollow and contained a viHaigrette, which the man of sci ence always held to his nose when he approached a sick person, so that its fumes might protect him from the noXious calculations of his patient John Cordy JeafIreson's "A Book About Doctors"

DEAD
 AS STORMS TOLL

Kansas City, June 16.-Twenty six persons are known to have been killed and many injured by a storm that passed over central west Missouri late Saturday, de- molishing buildings, tea r n 2 down wires and leaving the small CT towns and country homes completely wrecked.
 From meagre reports that have been received it is said that the storm that struck Kansas City late yesterday causing the death of two persons and doing dam age amounting to many thousands of dollars, swept to the south through Bates county, where it left a trail of death and destruc- tion. The path of the storm was half mile wide and five miles long. Between Merwin and Ad- rian 19 persons were killed.
 At Creighton, in Cass county, two are known to be dead, while at Leeton in Johnson county, two are dead, and unverified reports say others have been killed. After striking Merwin the storm took a northwestward course, passing Sedalia, where the wind did much damage.

HACK THE SHOOTER
 PUZZLE OFFICERS

Little Rock, Ark, June 15.- The Pulaski county grand jury is losing no time in taking care If the cases brought before 1t in connection with the Jack the Shooter arrests, and whether the right parties are under ar rest or not, they will soon be ciyen a chance to appear in court. Two have already been indicted, and other indictments are ex- pected, as three men are still held, one having been arrested Thursday night.
 The most puzzling case now on the hands of the officers is that of the negro Blake Casewell, who is held in connection with the death of young Basil Howell, Wednesday night. While the evidence tends to show that lie had sno gun and that the kill ing of Howell may have been by accidental shot from the revolver of Conductor Charles Tucker. who was shooting at the negro, there is no question but that the negro was the primary cause of the tragedy and that he deliber- ately concealed himself and threw stones at the conductor because the latter had put him of the car for abusive conduct. Just how severely he should be dealt with, under the peculiar
 nature of the case, is question.
 Feeling against him is strong.
 ltwas in an effort to protect
 himself from the attack of the
 negro that the conductor used a
 revolver at all.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
TAKE FOUR MONTHS VACATION

court Is now nearly two years be-
hind it's docket. When the judges
start for the pleasant seaside or
mountain resorts, they will leave
undisposed approximately 73O
cases.
Many of the cases are personal
injury cases, which rich litigants
like railroads and great Industrial
corporations are fighting and US
ing money and legal technicalities
to defeat the recovery of damages
by persons injured through care
lessnes or neglect of the corpor-
atoms agents.
This delay involves real hard
ship to wives and children, and is
the chief weapon of the rich for
multiplying law.
The supreme court justices take
this leave simply because there is
nobody to tell them that they can
not. This is the way judges disre-
gard law and make themselves SUI
perior to law.
