Heine.
Matthew Arnold's study of Heine

Matthew Arnold's study of Heine
has the following passage:
"Heine's intense modernism, his alb.
solute freedom, his utter rejection Of
stock classicism and stock 'romantl
cism,' his bringing all things under the
point Of view of the nineteenth cen
fury, were understood and laid to
heart by Germany, through virtue Of
her immense, tolerant intellectualism,
much as there was in all Heine said
to affront ami wound Germany. The
wit and ardent modern spirit of
France Heine joined to the culture
of sentiment, the thought Of Germany
This is what makes him SO remark
able; his wonderful clearness. light
ness, and freedom, united with such
power of feeling and width Of range"

Barn Burned at Cope.

Cope, April 21.-Yesterday after
noon during thunder storm light
ming struck the large barn of Mr.. +.
E. Ritter, who lives about two miles
from Cope, and same was burned to
the ground. Besides the loss OF the
barn Mr.. Ritter lost quantity OF
corn and fodder, also two buggies and
some farm implements. 1t is heard
that Mr.. Ritter had little insurance,
but nothing to compare with his loss.
Lightning also struck tree in Mr..
W. D. Cope's yard. Mr.. Cope is a
near neighbor.
Ground was broken a day or two
ago for another brick store. Mr.. w.
w. Hughes will build back on the
old corner where he was burned out
on Thanksgiving night. This will be
the fourth brick store in town. Mr..
W. Frank Gray is finishing up a

TO GUST BLIND TIGERS.
Magistrates Of Jasper County on the
War Path.

Ridgeland, April 21.-Yesterday
all the magistrates in Jasper county
met at the Office of Sheriff H. H. Por-
ter. The meeting was held at the re-
quest of Governor Manning, who had
written each magistrate to meet at
the sheriff's Office, there to form
themselves into districts in order to
be able to enforce the laws better
and to especially stamp out the
blind tigers" in Jasper county.
Every magistrate was present with
his constable, and each stated at the
meeting they would make it hard
for any blind tiger" to live in the
territory assigned to them by Sher-
if Porter. 1t would be hard t. find
more determined set of men with
one purpose in view, and that pur-
pose being to enforce the law, than
those who left the meeting yester-
day. 1t is expected that much good
will result from the meeting.

PROPERTY WORTH $50, 900.
Judge Moore Gives Decision in Able
lille Will Case.

Abbevil;e, April 27.-In a decision
rendered. by Judge Moore, filed with
J. L. Perrin, clerk of court. John and
Frank Kerr were declared the owners
Of the property of the late Mrs. Jose
phine E. Sloan. The property in
question is valued at about 100000,
and much interest was manifested
in the case.
According to the testimony, Mrs.
Sloan several years ago made will
in which she agreed to give John and
Frank Kerr all of her property, pro-
vided they would take care of her
and look after her property for the
rest of her life. 1t developed that
she destroyed this will and made an
other, giving all her property to
charity. The question at issue was
whether such contract was made and
if so did the Kerrs carry out their
part of it. According to the decision
the contract was established.

Some Historic Marches.

The prodigious marches accom-
plished by some of the German
troops, especially before the battle of
Tannenberg and in the last battle OF
the Masurian lakes, have moved a
Berlin historian to make interesting
comparisons with famous marches of
other days. He concludes that no
troops have ever before made such a
record in this respect as the soldiers
now in the armies of the east.
An average march, he says, is 20
to q miles, but after three days a
day of rest is observed if this pace
has been kept On the famous re-
treat of the 10000 Greeks under
Xenophon, after the battle Of ku-
naxa in 401 B. c.. from near Babylon
to Trapezunt on the Black sea, the
average days march was 16 3-4
miles. but this average was secured
by several forced marches of 27 1-2
miles, and the normal days march
was about Is IA miles.
A striking accomplishment was
that of Napoleon's Guards, who cover
ed 10 miles in six days on their
march to take part in the battle of
Jena, and that over bad roads
through the Thuringian forest. The
Ninth German army corps with ex-
hausting marches behind it, covered
46 miles from the vicinity OF Blois to
Orleans in Sc hours in 1870, and over
muddy roads and was ready to fight
the next day.
One East Prussian regiment march
ed 122 miles in five days to join
Hindenburgs army, and took part in
the battle OF Tannenberg in the af-
ternoon of the fifth day without stop
ping to rest.

The Future of India.

What will be the status of India
in the British empire after the war?
Even in the press of instant needs,
that question must cross the minds
of thoughtful British statesmen, but
it is doubtful if the most farseeing
among them can give it anything like
a full or certain answer, says the
Chicago Journal. Only one thing is
sure: India will claim and receive
a larger measure of self-government
and fuller participation in imperial
affairs than she has had before.
The loyalty of India has been one
of the great. surprises of the war.
Instead of bursting into flame of
revolution the moment Britain was
involved in Europe, India has come
forward with voluntary offerings OF
money and troops, suspended all agi-
tation for political changes until af-
ter the war, turned deaf ear to the
persuasions of kaiser and Sultan.
Sikhs and Gurkhas are on the firing
line in France: native princes have
offered their personal services in the
field.
Provinces and principalities which
have proved their value in this fash
ion in time of war cannot be relegat-
ed to the status of lesser breeds with
out the law in time of peace. But
what other status can they assume?
Can India be trusted with self-gov-
ernment like that which prevails in
Canada and Australia? Can Eu-
ropeans and Asiatics henceforth work
side by side, instead of tandem, as
hitherto? Will the islanders who
developed and the Orientals who have
bowed to the personal sway of for
eign masters for centuries find that
after all they have common ideal
in the empire.
