Martha No. 49.

Martha seems to be Hebrew name
and in the original language the final
"a" is pronounced as if followed by an
"h." It's old form is preserved in all
languages, only the French changed
the final "a" into "e."
The flower emblem Of Martha is the
citron, which in some passages of the
bible, English version, stands for apple.
The citron Is considered the more APP
propriate, because citron Is famed for
It's delicious odor and flavor.
Martha signifies Lady" and the
sentiment peculiar to the name is
.sbeauty." TO be sure, Americans who
know the history Of the first lady of
the white house cannot help seeing
the Significance OF these terms.
For there never was a more lady
like woman than Martha Washington,
and as for beauty of face and soul she
yields to no one in the wide, wide
world.
According to the custom of the per-
Tod the wife of the first president OF
the United States was called Lady
Washington" even as the immortal
! George was called "Excellency.' If
she had been styled Lady Martha,
English fashion, there would have
been plethora of titles Lady"
Since the wife Of George Washing
ton covered the name of Martha with
glory it should always be a favorite in
America.
According to the ancients it stands
for beauty. According to Lady Wash,
jington, it stands for fortitude, for cour.
age and patriotism as we'll.

hers, addressed to relative who had
censured as folly George Washing
toms resolve to enter the military ser.

But my mind is made up; my heart is
in the cause. George IS right; he is

George is always right this after
fifteen years Of married life!
Martha Washington was born In ay
1892, and died in the same month
1902. She was the daughter of Col.
onel John Danderidge, and her first
husband was Daniel Parke Custis, who
died two years before her marriage to
George Washington. 1t is pity that
with the general before her death.
The gospels have good deal to say
about Martha in John II, 5-21, and in
Luke 10, 3S. The Martha referred to
was the sister Of Lazarus and Mary of
Bethany. Biblical lore gives her credit
for being most excellent housewife.
She spent her declining days in CALI:
lee. and her grave is pointed out at
Taracon.
Martha is considered the patron
saint of good housewives. She is rep.

keys at her girdle, and holding in her
hand ladle or pot of water. Her
statue is found in many French and
Spanish Kitchens.

years last preceding March 80, 1917
+ "But the state is confined to the
building known as 814 East Main

offense was committed. Hence sales
of intoxicating liquor prior to March
81, 1909, and the evidence relating
thereto, if any, and sales made In any

Under the laws Of Iowa, whoever
establishes or uses any building as a
place for selling or keeping for sale
Intoxicating liquors in violation OF law,
is guilty Of the crime of nuisance.
1.-THE crime charged In the indict-
ment is that of nuisance, based upon
the claim that the defendant used the
building at 814 East Main street, Of

keeping therein intoxicating liquors for

the defendant kept, at that time and in
that building, intoxicating liquors

ton Of law, and that the defendant is
guilty of the crime of nuisance.
"If. However. you find beyond a
reasonable doubt, that during that
period of time unlawful sales OF ins
toxicating liquors were made In said
building by others than the defend
ant. and you further find the defend
ant knew such sales OF liqi,ors were

are that the defendant knew said build
