League title and Agriculture en-
deavoring to shove Interior into the
background for a win of the De-
partmental League flag.
The Aggies look better than In
terror, due chiefly to the fact that
they have annexed two wins of the
engagements. The Marines galloped
off with the first of the series with
the Bureau nine, and have the drop
on manager Williams scrappers.
If the Marines and Aggies come
through in their games they will be

NON.HELL

As there has been a great deal OF
non-hell preaching done recently
about Evening Shade, | would like
to have some space in the Record
for a quotation Of scripture.
We will take Mark 8 43-44; And
if thy hand offend thee cut it of,
1t is better for thee to enter into
life manned than having two hands
to 90 into hell into the fire that
never shall be quenched, where their
worm dieth not and the fire is not
quenched,'
Now, reader, notice this statement
is words from our Saviour, and is
bound to be correct BY turning to
the above named chapter you will
find two more statements like the
one given. This should settle the
question. Notice to go into hell
into the fire that never shall be
quenched" Do you believe Jesus
knew what he was talking about
Notice again, where their worm
dieth not" Do you believe that'
| do
Yours for the faith in Christ,

The Publicity Act

We give you this as an example
Of the workings Of the Publicity Act,
which, as announced last week,
Clerk Z. A, Boyce refuses TO put in
operation In this county, For years
and years the Record has been
publishing the report Of the COM
missioners Of accounts purely as a
matter Of news, as 1t Is doing again
this week, but under the Publicity
Act the county would pay for the
publication Of this report Surely
the report Of the commissioners Of
accounts Is a good news item, and
surely the newspapers owe some
duty to their readers, for the per.
formance Of which they should not
charge the county treasury

And hear complaints around,
About the failure of the crops,
From dryness Of the ground;
And buying feedstuff for the stock
Has emptied many purse
This may be a better season,
Cheer up, friends, it could be worse
Cheer up.
Homes where plenty once abounded
Thankful are for simple fare,
Farms once stocked with hogs and
cattle,
Some are sold, and some are bare,
Four dry years have ruined many,
Drouth has been the farmers curse
This may be a better season,
Cheer up, friends, it could be worse
Cheer up,
By ourselves We can do nothing,
We are in the Fathers hand,
He can send rain, or withhold 1t
From the area Of our land,
All His actions have a reason;
He our troubles can disperse,

No Simple Life at Ayr.

The simple life" finds no sympa-
thetic atmosphere in Scotland and.
above all. not in the "Auld Ayr" of
Robert Burns
Aud Ayr, wham neer a town surpasses
For honest men and bonnie lasses.
George Ferguson Munro Is a news
paper person who writes articles for a
Scottish newspaper. Munro wanted to
live a free, untrammeled, outdoor life.
He began last spring. He wandered
over hill and dale, doing nothing, find
ing enough to eat and drink. lying on a
shaded hillside reading good book.
He interfered with no one. The earth
was his bed, the starry sky his roof.
When 1T rained he went into barn.
Yet for leading this simple life he was
taken by the rough hand of the law
as a vagabond and sentenced by the
magistrate Of Ayr to- three months
hard labor.-Indianapolis News.

Dumas an Eniqma.

The elder Dumas was the greatest
enigma In the literary world Of Paris.
for who has ever been able to explain
just how and when all the books that
bear his name were written? He loved
the mysterious for its own sake. He
told me how he had dabbled in magnet
ic and mesmeric experiments. He
spoke with absolute conviction Of the
power Of magnetism and declared that
the whole of life and society was, to
his way of thinking, nothing but a
manifestation of magnetic force.
His talk was like the man himself,
calm, nonchalant, without trace Of
emotion. He was so far above discus
sion as to ignore 1t. When he was
speaking he seemed to imply by his
look and manner that it made no diff
ference to him whether you believed
what he was saying or not.-Francis
Grierson in Century Magazine.

Ancient Gardens.

Statues were a decorative element o,
which the Florentine garden architect
made expensive use At first a few
antique busis were placed along the
parapet OF the terrace or under the
central loggia. but ere long Greek gods
and heroes. fauns aud naiads were
seen at the end of every alley. while
giants and caryatides were introduced
to support walls and porticoes.
One great charm of renaissance gar.
dens was the skillful manner in which
nature and art were blended together
The formal design of the giardino sc.
greto agreed with the straight lines OF
the house, and the walls. with their
clipped hedges. led on to the wilder.
freer growth of woodland and mead.
ow, while the dense shade of the bosco
supplied an effective contrast to the
sunny spaces Of lawn and flower bed.
The ancient practice of cutting box
trees into fantastic shapes. known to
the Romans as the topiary art, was
largely restored In the fifteenth GEN.
tury and became an essential part of
Italian gardens.-New York Telegram.

Both fru,.vs,srs.

Among The quaint old epitaphs col
lected In England by an American
with fancy for odd verse and an
cient brasses are two commemorating
trumpeters. The first is often quoted:
Till Angels trumpets on the Final Day
Shall Blow and Graves shall Ope
Here Abram Crumpett in his Tomb doth
Lay
And Waits the Call in Hope.
The second Is less known and, with
all its quaintness. has a fine, bold
swing to 1t. Moreover, the deceased,
as prose addition to the inscription
makes clear. was gallant soldier as
well as a musician and had served
through many campaigns. civil and for
eign. Thus it runs:
When Gabriel. Angel. shall hys Trumpet
blow
Uppe from the Sod commanding all be-
Vaster than Armys when those Millions
Ansring that Summons from the Pealing
Skyes,
There's One lyes Here will joyful Rouse
at last
And sound a manful Echo to the Blast
