Christ Described In Roman Letter.

The following is the only reliable pen
picture Of Christ as seen in actual life, and
is an exquisite piece Of word painting. II
is taken from a manuscript now in the
possession Of Lord Kelly. and in his library.
1t was copied from an original letter of
Publius Lentuius. at Rome. II being the
usual custom of Roman Governors to
advise the Senate and the people of such
material things as happened in their prov
inces In the days of Tiberius Caesar. Pub
Illus Lentuius. Procurator of Judea. wrote
the letter to the Senate.
There appeared in these. our days. a
man OF great virtue named Jesus Christ,
who is yet living amongst us. and OF the
Gentiles is accepted as the prophet Of
Truth. He raises the dead and cures all
manner Of diseases. A man of stature
somewhat tall, and comely. such as the
behoder may both love and fear His
hair Of the color Of chestnut full ripe
plain to his ears, whence downward II is
more orient and curling and waving about
his shoulders. In the midst Of his head is
a seam. partition in the hair. after the
manner Of the Nazarites. His forehead
plain and very delicate his face without
spot or wrinkle. beautiful with a lovely
red. His nose and mouth so formed that
nothing can be reprehended. His beard
in color like his hair. not very long, but
forked His look innocent and mature. His
eyes, gray. clear and quick and luminous.
In reprovins he is terrible. his eyes peirc-
ing-as with a twO-edged sword the
| greedy. the selfish and the oppressor. but
look with tenderest pity on the weak. the
erring and the sinful. Courteous and fair
spoken. Pleasant in conversation, mixed
with gravity. 1t cannot be remembered
that any have seen him laugh. but many
have seen him weep In proportion Of body
most excellent-a man for his singular
beauty surprising the children Of men,

In MemOrlaiti.

In sad but loving remembrance of m
darling boy, Melvin Bowie Burroughs, VIII,
died six months ago. October 8, 1918.
Oh, the memory of that morning,
AS we stood with broken hearts,
Seeing the one we loved so dearly,
Pierced by deaths most cruel darts.
Oh. how we tried to save him.
Prayers and tears were all In vain.
Happy angels came and bore him
From this world of toll and pain.
Hard ! strove to keep him with me,
But love and skill were all in vain,
had to lay my darling boy
Meath the graveyard sod away.
When wander to the graveyard,
Flowers to strew with tender care
On the grave Of my dear boy
Who's sweetly resting there.
AS the evening sun is setting,
0fttimes sit alone.
In my heart there comes feeling,
II Melvin could come home.

State Gets Decision Against Rail-
road Company.

The State of Maryland has won its case
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion attacking as unreasonable the pro-
posed increased rates by the Pennsylvania
Railroad for crushed stone moving from
Pennsylvania points and Maryland points
through Delaware to the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. The stone is used by the State
government for road making purposes.
The Interstate Commerce Commission last
Saturday handed down decision uphold
ing the States contention.
at would seem that under the present
rates the traffic." says the opinion. "is
bearing at least its due proportion Of the
the evidence does not show the contrary.
Nor do the present rates appear to be alb
normally low when compared with rates
on like traffic via other lines for substan-
tally similar hauls in nearby territories,
as shown by exhibits filed with the record.
ut requires from $500 to 1000 tons Of
crushed stone to construct mile Of stand
ard road. The average cost of construction,
under the freight rate adjustment in effect
since 1908. has been set at about SIC. 900
per mile. As the stone is purchased T. o. b.
quarries. an increase Of IS cents per ton in
the rates would mean an increased con-
struction cost of about $500 to $500 per
mile of road. For these reasons the pro-
testants profess great concern to have the
present rates continued in effect.
THE issue is whether the increased rates
are just and reasonable. The carriers. the
protesting shippers and the public gener-
ally are alike entitled to just and reason
able freight rates. BY this standard alone
is the issue TO be determined.
Undoubtedly the maintenance Of good
wagon roads throughout the sections Of
country penetrated by respondents lines
is matter of material interest TO them.
and II was stated that their policy has
been and Is to encourage such enterprises.
Upon the facts Of record we find that
the proposed rates named in the suspended
tariffs are not justified"

BOY NEARLY SCALPED
BY GRAIN DRILL
SKULL LAID BARE AND SLIGHTLY
FRACTURED
Injured Lad Son of MIR. and Mrs. Frank
Cook, Living About Five Miles
From Clio.

Chauncey, the seven-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Cook, living on a
farm five miles west and south of Clio
sustained some particularly distressing
injuries Saturday afternoon when he
fell under grain drill which was being
drawn behind wagon. The child's
scalp was nearly torn off by the teeth
of the drill as it passed over him and
his skull was slightly fractured.
The accident occurred directly in
front of the Cook farm residence when
Horace Bortell, neighbor, was pass
ing with drill attached to his wagon.
The child was playing along the road as
Bortell approached and seeing an op-
portunity of getting a ride. climbed up
on the tongue of the drill while the We
hicle was still in motion. Bortell states
that he was unaware of the action of
the boy until he had fallen off the
tongue beneath the drill.
The wound presented ahorrifying ap-
pearance as the scalp was torn from
the entire top of the skull. The lad
was rushed to physician here where
it was necessary to take Is stitches to
close the wound. At no time was the
boy unconscious. He has been able to
come to town for treatment and at last
reports was doing nicely.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1914-09-25

Two persons were painfully hurt on
Monday evening, when an M. u. T.,
Kalamazoo to Jackson inter-urban,
travelling at the rate of 90 miles an
hour, ran head on into an SH-ton trac-
tion engine, stalled on crossing near
Kalamazoo.
The injured: F. M. Hall, motorman,
Jackson, hip bruised, arm lacerated,
probable internal injuries; A. Vought,
owner traction engine, badly cut face.
Latest reports say the motorman is
likely to die.
The front of the interurban car was
completely wrecked and the traction
engine reduced to scrap iron. There
were fifteen passengers in the car. A
serious catastrophe was averted be-
cause the interurban was one of the
new all-steel ones recently put into
operation.

Called" the Elder

Last week Tuesday, while threshers
were at work on the farm of Oscar
Pomeroy, fire started in some unknown
manner in the straw stack. Neighbors
who were assisting in the threshing,
took hold with a will and in short
time the fire was extinguished, though
for while it looked very threatening.
One of the neighbors. who was working
like beaver, noticed gentleman
standing near, who was not at the mo-
ment exerting himself, and inquired of
him why in the blinkety, blink, blank
he didn't get busy and help and. when
the affair was over, was considerably
chagrined to learn that the person
whom he had so unceremoniously ad-
dressed was the Baptist minister. The
latter is, of course, an experienced fire
fighter, and inasmuch as the boys were
putting in their "best licks" to immerse
the stack he evidently considered that
its chances for being saved were o. X.
without any interference on his part.
