The Analo.saxons.

The Angles and Saxons were the

Teutonic conquerors of Britain; the
Jutes were the third. They were Low
Dutch tribes from the borderlands Of
Germany and Scandinavia, the lands
at the mouth of the Elbe and the
Weser. Their language was an indie

importance Of Work,

A negative life is a wicked life
Someone has said mo angel ever ap
peared to q man who was not at
work." You cannot make man good
by keeping him idle. Il must be about
my Fathers business" said Christ IL
the temple. That Is the gospel Of ev.
cry man who Is loyal to his own SOUL
is the comment of the Ohio State
Joun0al. There IL no excuse for idle
ness. Work, like virtue, religion. faith,
is from within. The impulse toward
the right is what keeps man at work.
and If he Is not at work he lacks the
impulse. His religion Is too weak to
exert itself. A positive life Is the only
true life. Nor is mere a1trufsm the
only form of work. It Is as much Q
mans duty to help himself as It is tn
help others. so that help Is upbuildipg.
which is the very condition of ones
being a benefit to others. A man who

When Peg Tankard Was Used.

It Is true no doubt that among the
early Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock
ae the Germans-'there was a great
deal of hard drinking and q good
deal of drunkenness although after
the incursions of the Normans tho
habits of the country in this respect
were greatly improved. Very quaint
and very curious are scme of the .eg'
ulations which we're adopted for the
purpose Of compelling thirsty souls to
practics moderation. At the instance.
It is said, of st, Dunstan. archbishop Of
Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur-
pose of regulating the quantity msn
might drink. ordained that pegs or
pins should Re inserted in the large
drinking vessels then In use. The first
person who drank emptied the tank
ard to the first peg from the top. the
second to the second peg. and so on
Anyone who went beyond one pin was
liable to q penalty.

optic nerve the reflected rays Of light
that make for either Of the primary

HAS IN EFFECT
Low WHEAT RATE
Promulgated in 1912, For
gotten Until Now-Steam-

Announce ment was made yesiter r.
day by Comm ercial Agent c. B. Lind
say of the Iron Mountain, that there
is in effect on that system rate OF
Il cents per 100 pounds on wheat in
carload los, from Pine Bluff to Mem
phis, Tenn.
The rate was promulgated in 1912
but because there has been no wheat
handled. it had sunk into cbi ion,
being re- urrectsd only after much in
vestigation by Mr.. Lindsay, who im-
mediately upon its discovery for?.al-
ly notified Secretary e. B. Bloom OF
the chamber of commerce.
Farmers in thu pine Bluff terri
tory have planted many acres OF
wheat this season, and when harvest
started, they began to ascertain what
arrangements could be made to ship
thu product to market Then it was
announced that the railroads had no
through rates, and none could BE-
made effective in less than thirty
days, this period being nessary under
the rules of the interstate commerce e
commission. The local ra,es were
considerably higher
Some of the planters took the mat
ter up with the managem ent of the
river packet Lightwood, with the re-
suit that the steamboat people agreed
o haul wheat at a rate of II cents per
100 pounds The same day this an
nouno ment was made, Cotton Belt
reprs sentatives announced rate of
10 CENTS per 100 pounds, effective
thirty days thereafter, with the
understanding that wheat shipped
prior thereto at the local higher rate,
would be entitled to a rebate of the
difference in the freight rates.
The announce ment yesterday that
the Iron Mountain had discovered an
old rate of 13 cents in carload lots,
far lower than the rate offered by the
river packet, caused considerable
comment among local shippers yes
terday. There was some talk of MAX
ing an effort to have most of the
wheat hauled by boat, as means OF
showing encouragement OF the steam
boat traffic out of Pine Bluff.
