NEMESIS.


Build ye the cities. grave ye well the
signs
That mark your rise above the
bestial void;
This know: The very nobiest height
ye raise,
BY thine own brain and hand shall |
be destroyed.
Thus runs the Law; since first the
newborn stars.
AS vapor famed across the stygisn
vault
That very power which urges Progress
on,
Shall Progress call to halt
From out the lowest pits absymal
slime
OF squirming Life that struggles up
the scale;
From out the csudron Of Lifes primal
brew,
wherein the weaker die and strong
prevail;
From this ye came. slow raising. age
on age;
obedient to a Law, by ye unknown:
The Law which. when ye know, ye
straightaway scorn-
And thus are overthrown.
Brutal that Law and grim. Across
this orb,
Hurled through the ghastiy trackIess
depths of space.
Sweep visions, dreams and glowing
phantasies;
They fade and psss-one Law alone
The Law of Power, immutsble and
old.
For Life that dwells upon this sphere
Thus it is writ: The Powerful shall
survive;
The strengthless Weak, decay.
Thus IT is writ. And in the mirthIess
Jest
With which Time mocks the puny
human brain,
By adamantine law, thy fairest
dreams,
Like dreams at dawn are doomed TO
fade again.
I By this Eternal Paradox the dreams.
Which dreamers from the birth Of
Time have spun.
Before the brutal Law OF Power
must pass.
Like mist-wreaths in the sun.
For, by brute law Of strength and
power ye rose.
And by your swords earned leisure
for your lore
Your lore OF wisdom-all that ye
have reared
Upon the pedestal ye won by War.
Behind the rampant OF your ready
swords
That warded of the bitter tempest
blows.
Like tender plants behind a shielding
wall,
Your Art and Learning rose.
And, by the law OF Fate, the more ye
rise,
The nearer climb your minds to
god-like height,
The more refined. the more shall ye
abhor
The brutal power which led you
from the night.

who are not gods but sparks en-
cased In clay.
| Then shall ye turn IN loathinF from
your swords
And from that hour decay.
For thus the cycle runs. BY strife We
climb
To broader heights where nobler
passions glow.
And as you rise to lofty dreams so
grows
Thy arm more poverless to resist
the blow
That. soon or late. shall swift and
stunning fall.
From Races led by the answering
Law
! And from those heights which War
for thee had won.
! Shall thou be hurled by War.
Thus runs the scroll OF Human Des-
tiny,
Written in fire and blood and scsId-
ing tears:
Scrawled with wrecked hopes and
blasted visionings.
The weary record OF ten thousand
years,
The weary tale Of Peoples and OF

The glowing dreams Of Empire and
OF Race,
That to the Law that ruIeth earthly
things.

Behold, For ye were not the first to
rise:
There have been others in the gull
of Time;
And after you come others still. to

That clay cannot be cast in form

Ye may not mold a diamond from the

Nor form a lustrous pearl from

Ye may not change them here.

 It was then MT. Bullard gave Chapman credit for denying like gentleman.
 Mrs. Smith next took the stand and told practically the same story of the shooting as that given by Chapman.
 The state then rested.
 The officers from the city and county who were at the hotel shortly after the shooting were then called by Mir Bullard None of them had seen the bullet which Mrs. Daniel had picked up as she said in the hall No statement of her finding the bullet was made to Deputy Sheriff E. J. War ren or Harry Gaskin, Ed. Barnum or Strathy of the police force.
 Dr. Sweek testified that Chapman must have been bent forward when shot and the inference was that Chap man had grapeled with Daniel before the shot was fired.
 Mrs Daniel then took the stand. She was not at all ill at ease and sat in her chair chewing gum as contentedly as if she were happily at home on the meZZanine. She wore an apricot col lored Georgette blouse and short white skirt. Her hat was a black vel vet sailor Other than to say her hus- band deserved to go the penetentiary Mrs Daniel had little to offer. She insisted that she had found the bullet Tn the hall and that it could not pos sibly have been elsewhere since Chap

Why do you think that?" was the next query.
 His peculiar actions around the hO- tel. The way he followed Mrs. Daniel. Mrs. Smith and myself around town answered Chapman.
 Do you think there is anything peculiar in a husband following nls wife when she is going about with an- other man?" asked MT. Bullard.
 T understood that MT. Daniel had deserted his wife, came the quick re- sponse.
 It developed that Chapman learned of the desertion only from Mrs. Daniel. He was asked if there had been any trouble between the two before he me upon the scene and if it were not true that they were together every day.
 Not every day." said Chapman al- though he would not say that he did not see her at least six days in the week.
 we were fellow guests at the hotel, said Chapman, although he said he did not see the "other fellow guests as frequently, in that he did not know any of the other women registered thore.
 And you consider her husband mentally unbalanced because he fol- lows his wife when she goes about continually with another man. You consider him mentally deranged be- cause he stares at her when she is with you?" came sarcastically from Mir. Bullard when Chapman complained that Daniel annoyed him by sitting in the lobby and staring at the meZzanine floor when he and Mrs. Daniel were wont to enjoy conversations.
 Didn't Daniel have a right to stare at his wife,
 Tt was not gentlemanly,' said the witness.
 Do you think it was more gentle manly to go around with another mans wife?" said MT. Bullard who then touched upon the statement made by Chapman that Daniel had no right on the second floor of the hotel

PUBLIC COOPERATING WITH THE
RAILROADS.

Reports just compiled for the
Railroads War Board indicate that
the travelling public in general and
the shippers in particular, are giving
the finest kind Of cooperation to the
railroads In the handling Of the In
creased traffic that the war has pro-
duced. What this cooperation means
may be CLEANED from these facts.
Since May LIST the railroads aided by
the loyalty and understanding Of the
public have been able to reduce their
passenger service by approximately
50,000,000 miles. This has released
thousands of train crews and loco
motives for use in the freight service
and cleared thousands of miles of
track, thereby facilitating the move
ment Of coal, food products and sup
plies needed by the government. In
addition to the foregoing saving of
equipment and trackage the ship
pers, big and small. have rallied SO
splendidly to the slogan make One
Car DO the Work of Two" that a
saving of close to half a million
freight cars has been accomplished.
This saving of freight cars has en-
abled the railroads to move approx
imately rs per cent. more freight
since war was declared than during
the same period last year.

To The Public!

The merchants of Paris recently
signed agreements to close their
stores as follows: Grocery stores at
2 p. m. and Saturdays IL p. m.
Other lines of business at p. M, ex-
ceptfng Saturdays. Some of our mer-
chants are doing all they can to live
up to their agreement, while others
find all kind of excuses to extend the
time Of closing. One of their main
excuses has been that customers will
delay their purchases to the last
minute, and by entering stores at the
closing hour make 1t dificult for
merchants to close their stores as
agreed upon.
The Merchants Protective Associa-
ton Of Bourbon County at its last
meeting directed by an unanimous
vote that the undersigned make an
urgent appeal to the public to kindly
assist the merchants by making all
their purchases so as not to conflict
with this closing arrangement.
There must be reason In all
things. A business or household
conducted without order and system
cannot bring complete success. Re-
member success does not mean money
alone-but also means Happiness,
Harmony and Good Health"
The mechanic and ordinary day
laborer' will not work over 10 or
hours per day. This you will agree
is exactly right. But why then
should we expect merchant to
work from 6 a. m. to 10 or even IL
p. m, or~from IL to 10 hours per
day?
| The merchant desires good health
| and wants to live as long as others
He wants to enjoy the company OF
his wife and children at evening
during the week as well as only on
Sundays. Two hours extra rest each
day means all this for him and better
service for you on the next day. NJ
doubt you believe this Is right ani
are willing to grant him and hi
clerks and porters this necessary
rest. Then why not help him to liv'
up to his pledge and make your pur
chases accordingly?
4 To those merchants who have 81
far failed to close their stores a
promptly as they agreed, we appea
again, "For the good Of all, Is wei
as pour own welfare, let us stand to
gether and work like one man."
4 To those merchants who so ia
have failed to fall In line on tn
closing agreement, we extend al
earnest appeal to "Come and work to
gether with us for common cause.
and to the public we appeal for thei
encouragement and cooperation Il

LENT NOT TO STOP USUAL
GAYETY OF ATLANTA FOLKS

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 9.-With Ash
Wednesday and Lent now less than
ten days off, the Atlanta society folks
and the clubs, as usual, are planning
for an undiminished series of dances
and card parties and festivities to con-
tlnue from the opening of Lent to
Easter, in conformity with hits com
runity's usual policy of paying no
heed to an observance that is more or
less generally adhered to in other cit
les of the state and throughout the
world.
Just why Atlanta has always disre-
garded Lent would be hard to say,
for in most things this city is rather
more interested in churches and relig-
ious reform than the average Ameri-
can city Of the same size. The Catho-
lies, however, are practically the on
ly class of church people here who
make pretense of Lenten observance,
with the Episcopal churches holding
weekday services during the con-
tinuance Of the season.

BERLIN, Feb. 9.--(via London)--
The German foreign office last night
asked James W. Gerard, the Ameri-

reaffirming the treaties of 1899 and

government officials to Spanish and

The treaties have reference to the
rights of nationals residing as mer-
chants in either country to continue
tteir residence there during nine
months for the purpose of closing up
their business. Mr.. Gerard explained
that he was no longer in a position to
negotiate any diplomatic instrument.
