Bond Issue Held Up.

There 10 a delay in getting the
proceeds from the sale of the
$4,000 Of Meridian village honda
awarded to John Nuveen * Co., OF
Chicago, on November 25th last.
The company have called attention
to the fact that authority to issue
the bonds 10 based on the val
uation Of the property Of the vii
lage for 1910, or the year previous
to holding the bond election, as
required by law. Now the val
uation for 1910 was not sufficient
to allow $4,000 issue in ad-
dition to the $4,000 already
bonded, 40 it would exceed the Is
per cent limit. The 1910 val
uation was $3.50, coo but in 1911 the
amount was near 100000.
Another election may be necss-
sary to clear up the matter, and
at the present time, by using the
last years valuation, we would be
legally able to vote the same issue
There 10 chance that the at.
torneys for the company will sug.
gest a way without the village
going to the expense of another
election, and the proposition ID
now before them, and a decision
Ia expected soon.

Lines to the Memory Of Mrs. Anna
X. LehuesRoach.

sNone knew thse but TO love thee
s.From the cradle TO the grave"
Prayers OF loved ones, skill and science,
Tried in vain your life to save.
For il seems the blessed Master
Has greater work for you
TIP ID Heaven with The Angels,
Far above the sky 80 blue.
We who knew you when an infant,
And In happy school girl days
Then loving wife and mother,
Can do naught but speak your praise.
You have gone to meet the jewels,
Taken from your loving breast,
And another, too, ID waiting,
Ia that peaceful happy rest
brothers round your bedside fingered,
Catching every word or smile,
Hoping, trusting, that the Master
Would share you yet q little while.
Father too, and sister Mary,
Both will miss your happy face,
But they know you win be happy
In your Saviours fond embrace
And the Husband, boon companion,
TO your life these few short years,
His head Is bent in grief and sorrow,
Grief too deep fos even tears.
And the children young and thonehtless
Az God has meant that they should be
Never will forget the teachings,
And the prayers at mothers knee
And your friends, for you had many,
Will greatly miss your gentle way, Il
OF speaking words of love and comfort,
Scattering sunshine day by day.
TO loved ones left in sorrow
With hearts bleeding and torn,
Look up in faith waitfor the dawning
Of the resurrection morn.
Wen know then why wife and mother
Was taken from her earthly home
Where ell seemed peace, and gladness.
TO dwell with God upon His throne,
May we all be just as ready,
When we are called to tins court above
To meet the blessed Master,
In the land where .all is lows.

INSANITY AND THE BLUES
Detection Generally Due to q plson
dered Stomach or Liver, and
Not the Brain.


It is announced that among the
minor forms OF mental disorder that
are to be studied at Johns Hopkins
university is that famillarly known as
"the blues," the New York World re,
marks. It is argued that the dejec.
ton is due to species of insanity,
mild indeed at the beginning but liable
to become dangerous. AS one author.
ity puts It, the disease is SO slight as
not to be noticed except by those very
close to the sufferers. II is the pur-
pose of the sxperimenters to make II
the subject Of Suggestive treatment
We have here what has every ap-
pearance Of being another attempt to
account iearuedly for something that
isn't 80. The detection known az "tho
blues" has its seat generally In the
stomach or IN the liver rather than
In the brain. Suggestive treatment
by the ablest OF alienists or hypnotists
or even Christian scientists would not
do the patient half 30 much good a. q
dose OF calomel followed by q sane
system OF eating and living.
Furthermore, the man to whom ey.
erything looks blue IL not more crazy
than the man to whom everything
looks rosy. The victim Of blues DOESN'T
buy gold bricks or speculate with
trust funds or organize third parties.

ADVICE TO EMBRYO POETS
First Efforts Should Not RO Directed
to Subjects That Would Test

Far, far is It from our wish or In
tention to hurt anybody's feelings, but
we do wish to state, very, very gently.
that one of the most dificult tasks
real poet, experienced and skilled In
the practice of his art, could under
take, would be to write an adequate
and fitting poem on the loss of the Tt
tanic. For anyone else to attempt it
is to invite inevitable failure, and fail
ure of. a kind that-well, OF kind
that 1t would be unkind, In the circum.
stances, to characterize.
To be deeply and sincerely moved
is one of the requisites for writing
noble verse about a tragic episode In
human history, but it iB far from be-
ing the only requisite, and, with all
respect for their emotions and inten-
tions, we would suggest that those
who have only desire to express
what they feel in regard to this calA11-
itous event should do 1t otherwise than
In verse. At least they should not
try to get the verse printed, for by 80
doing they place upon the winnowers
OF metrical offerings the always pain
full duty to be cruelty kind.
Surely, surely. surely, first effort
to write poetry should not be on
subject that would test all the powers
OF a long-tested genius.

Six Years Building a Clock.

Twenty thousand minute pieces Of
wood entered into the construction Of
an elaborately ornamented Notre Dame
cathedral clock made by James Cal
way Of Skowhegan, Me. This clock,
which is finely carved, stands seven
feet and ten inches in height and took
Mr.. Galway six long years to complete.
In the upper story six folding doors
open every ten minutes and the apos-
ties appear marching in time to an
air played by a large music box that
is governed by the clock, each one
bowling, before the Savior as they pass,
except the fourth one (Which repre-
sents Peter), who turns his back upon
the Gavior, and the devil comes out
OF the top Of the clock and blows q
trumpet In honor Of Peter.
The second story is in the form OF
a mansion with double doors in front
which also open every ten minutes.
Lazarus appears at the rich mans
door and on bended knees asks for
charity, the dogs licking his sores, and
the rich man stands In the door swing
ing his arm as If he were throwing
crumbs from his table. All these NOV
able figures are run by machinery con-
nected with time movement, 80 az
to work on the minute. The bottom
story is a very elaborately designed
foundation OF fine inlaid work.-Scien-
