WELLS CASES RESUMED
Franklin County Grand Jury lnvestl
eating Alleged Poisoning

st. Adams, March 1.-THE Grand
jury of Franklin County court this
afternoon resumed its hearing on the
Wells alleged poison cases, after TAX
ing a recess since last Wednesday
noon. II is said that IL would not
be surprising If there should be de-
velopments even more sensational
than the reported giving of poison
to Mrs. Wells while she has been in
Jail by her husband before his arrest,
with intent that she take her own
life. II is generally felt that the grand
jury will not report for some time.
IL is now understood that the recess
was taken to permit Attorney Gen.
eral r. E. Brown to attend court bust
ness in another county. Probably
more than half the witnesses have
been examined but it is understood
the jury has other investigations to
make. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wells are
in good health but Mrs. Wells, who
has been in Jail over two months,
stands the strain better than her hus
band. who has been confined only a
week.

The trout fishing season this year
opens April Is the same as during
the past two years. In lakes and
ponds the season opens May l. Prac.
tically the only change in the trout
law is the reduction of the catch
limit for one day from six to five
pounds While the fish and game
laws were codified at the recent ses-
sion fthe legislature the provis-
ions of the law were not greatly
changed. The new law is more
bulky and detailed than the old and
in many respects not so plain and
easily understood but State Com
missioner Titcomb thinks that the
new form is better and will be liked
by the public.

Light and enlightenment go hand in hand-hey
are both products of one another.
Civilization produces better means of lighting and
better lighting produces better civilization.
Civilization can be almost accurately measured by
the amount and quality OF light.
fairly good steady light has only been available
for about so years and in those so years the world has
progressed more than for thousand years before.
In the Dark Ag ages that lacked all kinds Of
light-illiteracy almost universal and misery
and squaor and bad government-the common people
worked all day-hey could not learn for lack OF light
at night A general knowledge, which means civil iza-
ton, did not exist in those days, did good light.
A good light adds just enough hours to day to
enable one during those few hours TO progress and TO
draw shead-without those few evening hours OF mental
activity made possible by good lgDt civilization would
be handicapped and progress halted
Good light cheerful steady, ample, bright will
help us grow mind and heart
The BEST LIGHT is ihe-but what's the use.
Everybody knows which is the best light.

WY WAS | BORN?
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright 1913. by Frank Crane

There is one question upon the answer
to which rests the success or failure of
life.
It is the question: why was l born"
\ strange fact is that nobody knows the
answer The purpose which the Creator
had in mind when He made me has never
been known. never will be known.
Curious that the most fateful of all
problems should be forever unanswerable.
We may believe this or that to be the
reason why we were created: we cannot
know.
Notwithsta nding this fact. the net re-
suit of my life depends upon the theory
form to answer this query.
But how can tell which theory is best
when there is no means Of knowing which
is trueo
There is way to tell which theory is.
if not true. at least approximately true.
This way Is suggested 10y what is called
pragmatism.
That is to say: Tit answer TO the
question is most likely to be true which
will work.
We cannot answer sthe question why
was horn?" by investigating causes
The secrets of life are beyond us. The
Creator will not be interviewed
But we can select an answer by noting
results. For instance:
Il was made in order that I might get
all the pleasure possible out of life"
This solution means wreckage. Its fallacy
is proved by insane hospitals. feeble
minded asylums and by those murders.
adulteries and heartbreaks that constant
ly attend the end of the pleasure seeker.
Il was made in order that l might
escape this evil world and get safely
into q better one after DEATH" Such an
answer leads logically to the asceticism
that marked the dark ages and the hard
morbidity that characterized Puritanism.
Il was born to labor for others means
race of slaves.
II was born to live and to enjoy myself
upon the fruits Of others labor means a
class of sEobs.
The most satisfactory answer, in TWEEN
tieth century terms, :s: Il was born to
express what forces my Greater planted
in ME; to develop my instincts and tai
ents under the guidance OF reason: to
find perInane MT happiness by fostering the
higher, more altruistic and spirit impulses
and by subdCing the violence Of the
more brutal impulses. I was born to find
love and my own work. and through these
liberty. In one word the purpose of
creating me was that / should be as
great as possible"
Only by this answer do we get strength
without cruelty, virtue without narrow
ness. beauty without effeminacy, love
without contamination. reverence without
superstition, joy without excess.
l do not know this answer Is correct.
believe 1t to be the most nearly correct
for the simple reason that it works.

was twice enough.
Speck lanbasted that Higgins boy like
he meant ii. Then he turned him around
and kicked him.

Speck tripped up right near where l
was hiding. He was all covered with
those twins as soon as he struck the
ground.
First one twin would wallop Speck
until he yelled MUIR and then the
other would take a hand at it and make
him say 'Nuffr' again.
When they let Speck up all ideer OF
licking me anybody else was gone out
of his head. / had scked events on
