AS to Intoxlcation.

The Marquette trial has started
newspaper discussion on the defin-
ition of intoxication. We may pass
over the ancient Scotch standard,
the phenomenon of double vision, as
not wholly adequate, since it can
not be guaged by any one but the
hero. The standard in Vermont for
many years, as expressed on the
statute book was when the victim
was so intoxicated as to be be
reaved of his Senses would had
the merit of conciseness and suftici-
ency. The Governor of Arkanas re-
Gently officially defined intoxication.
"a degree Of intoxication which
incapacitates a person reasonably
to transact business or renders one
ridiculous in the eyes OF the people.
The courts, naturally go more
deeply into detail. Thus the Texas
court of appeals put it on record
that 1T is extremely difficult to
draw the line on drunk. There
are various stages, such as quarter
drunk half drunk and dead
drunks' And the supreme court OF
the same States is quoted as declar-
ing that there is generally
recognized difference between per
son being drunk and being intoxicat-
ed. A person may be intoxicated, and
not be drunk, as it is ordinarily
understood. A person is intoxicated
to a certain extent when he takes
one drink, yet he is not drunk. One
drink will not ordinarily make a
man drunk 1t will to certain ex-
| tent intoxicate him."

The International Sunday School Les
son for October II, is Jealousy and
Envy Punished" Numbers IL.
BY William T. Ellis.

It is an Off day in the news which
does not report some jealous woman
up to mischief. And yet there is noth
ing new in that. Here we have under
our hand one of the oldest historical
documents In existence, which the
| Sunday schools of the world are now

ans jealousy which squares perfectly
with the incidents in our own news
papers. Thus it is that the fundameA
tai human traits persist through all
ages; making clear why this old Bible
is the forever fresh treatise upon life.

leader, powerful in public life. Her

woman to the fore. Miriam, as Moses
sister, must henceforth give the pre-
cedence to Zipporah, his wife.
When a Woman Takes Second Place.
What made this social eclipse the
more bitter, was the fact that the wife
had none of the sisters brilliance.
Zipporah was a mere tent woman, an
untutored shepherdess, with none OF
the refinement and learning which
Egypt impaired. AS Miriam bitterly

business, which specifically seemed
only a family squabble, was serious
enough to demand the personal atten-
ton of Jehovah; and that too by the
sacred altar, with the pillar of cloud
enveloping them. The anger OF the
Lord had been incurred by Miriam and
Aaron.
In terrifying arraignment the Lord
pointed out the seriousness OF speak
ing against his servant. Would that
all idle critics OF the preachers (who
however, are by no means Moses!)
would take this warning to heart.
They had meddled with things too
high for them. If Miriam had endured
wrong, she should have left 1t with
Jehovah, even as did Moses; for q red
rock teaching OF all Scripture is Ven
geance is mine; will repay, saith the
Lord"
The Leprous Sister; chIvalrous
Brother.
Some sins are punished in the body,
as we know upon the word OF the
physicians. Others stain and shrivel
the soul without leaving the same KIND
of physical marks. To save Miriam g
soul and to warn the nation, God at
flicted her body.
when the cloud lifted, Miriam the
proud, the comely, the dignifed, stood
a thing of horror, an outcast, leper!
How awful! Yet 1t was this physical
blight worse than her previous state
of mind? She who had been a leader
and a teacher became creature be-
yond the camp!
Now the brothers rise to their
height. Sometimes they. like their
sister failed in the small routine OF
life; but they rose grandly to a great
occasion. Aaron eloquently pleaded
with Moses in behalf of the stricken
Miriam: and Moses, despite what he
and his had suffered at their hands.
entreated Jehovah in behalf OF the
white leper. Magnanimity is sign Of
the mighty. A petty soul gloats over
it's own victories and over It's adver-
saries' humiliation. But the appeal OF
Moses sounds like the first faint utter
ing Of the word from the Cross, Faith
er. forgive them, for they know not
what they do"
"He delighteth IN mercy" That is
the characteristic word concerning Je-
hovah. And to Miriam mercy was ex-
tended; for seven days she was So
uuestered outside the camp. The whole
pilgrimage halted for her term Of
cleansing. Cannot you almost hear
the people talking, in hushed fearful
accents, concerning the tragedy, as
they looked toward the place OF MI
RAMS Punishment? 1t was an i'm
pressive school which God kept for
seven days, teaching his people. by an
object lesson, the truths Of reverence
loyalty and unselfish love. r

BLOOMFIELD HAS
A CENTENAR|AN
MRS. LOIS RANDALL CELEBRATES
HUNDREDTH BiRTHDAY-DoEs
OWN HOUSE WORK.

Bloomfield, Oct. S.-The observance
of the hundredth birthday anniversary
OF Mrs. Lois Randall here today is
made popular celebration as this
venerable lady has spent more than
half of this period of life as a resident
of Bloomfield and is known to all OF
the residents. She Is as we'll beloved
as she Is known and her birthday Is an
event of local interest. Friends by the
score called upon Mrs. Randall
throughout the day and with gifts and
happy fluctuations made the event one
Of great pleasure to the centenarian.
Although 100 years of age, Mrs.
Randall Is not the victim of the In
firmities that such an age would indi-
cate. On the contrary she Is more
able to get about and do things than
a person twenty-five years her junior.
When seen by a Courier representative
this pioneer woman Of Davis county
was canning peaches which grew In
her own yard on trees that she has
nurtured from mere switches. She
is still able to do her housework and
does not care to have anyone attempt
to manage her household duties while
she is able to get about.
OCTOBER 3, 1918 Mrs. HanQall saw inc
light of day for the first time in the
state of Kentucky. It was not until
she was 4S years of age that she came
from the Blue Grass to the Hawkeye
state, coming with her family to
Bloomfield in 1861. She has continued
to make Bloomfield her home since set
thing here fifty-two years ago.
She is the mother Of five children
OF whom but two survive, Peter Rand
all and Mrs George England, both OF
this city She has twelve grandchil-
dren and a great many great-grand-
children who with friends are making
her birthday an event of more than
usual interest. She has been a widow
for the past eighteen years. Ora Eng
land, a grandson, makes his home with
Mrs. Randall.
Soon after coming to Bloomfield she
united with the Baptist church = and
has been a consistent member ever
since. A bright smile and CHEEKY word
for everyone has been her greeting for
years and won for her the love and
esteem that is shown her today.
