M. C. A. building at Moune, James Hanson, a carpenter, employed at that time by the Gust Ed Construction com pany, has brought suit against that firm, in the sum of ft) 10,000, through his attorney, John K. Scott. Hansen was standing on a trestle, taking out some storm windows, when another workman passed behind him, carrying two pails of morter and upon being summoned by the foreman he placed them on the plank back of Hanson and then walked away. Han son, stepping backwards, lost his bal ance and the force of the fall injured his spine to such an extent that he has been under the doctor a care ever since. The Davenport Democrat has the following concerning a Davenporter who is well known In Rock Island: Da ven porters liked the record made by Representative Thomas W. Griggs in the last legislature so well that they insist that he shall again be a candidate for the office, and Mr. Griggs has consented to allow his name to go before the primary In June. Mr. Griggs is the type of young man whom It is well to keep in the public service, when once he is there. He was an active and diligent repre sentative, alert in looking after the in terests of his constituents, and stand ing for the development of the state at large. Scott county will deserve to be congratulated if a large compli mentary vote for Mr. Griggs makes him a candidate of the democracy again this summer and later returns him to his good work in Des Moines.

White bas the greatest property of reflecting light of any color and black the least While white receives the color it Immediately sends it away again in the form of reflected light Black absorbs light. Lay a white and a black piece of cloth on the snow and that under the white cloth will remain as It is, while under the black one It will melt This snggests a reason as to why white garments are coolest for summer wear. They do not absorb the heat and light from the sun, but re flect It off. In winter the dark ab sorbs the light and accomplishes more what one . wants, so dark clothing is the common thing for winter nse. If yon want a cool house in summer paint it white. New York World.

DEATHBED SCENES. And the Question of Prolonging Life to Its Utmost Limit. Even the lengthening of a man's life by a day may make death easier by giving him the opportunity of soothing a guilty conscience, of signing a will, of redressing an Injustice, of healing a breach of friendship the memory of which might imbltter another life, of saying farewell to a son or daughter who had come in baste from a great distance. Any one who bas seen death beds knows bow anxieties of this sort may darken the last hours and how their removal may reconcile the suffer er to death. It seems to us that this talk of the right to die and the wrong doing of doctors in seeking to prolong a life that is hanging by a thread springs from the unwholesome senti mentalism and the Inevitable accom paniment of selfishness which are among the unhappy notes of the pres ent time. To the older writers the death agony was the final struggle -of the soul leav ing the body, and by a confusion of thought due to the acquired meaning of the word it has come to be general ly believed that the parting of the spir itual from the material part of man is painful. Those whose lot it has been to stand at many deathbeds know that this is not the case. Sir William Osier says that he has careful records of about 600 deathbeds, studied particu larly with reference to the modes of dying and the sensations of the dying. Of these ninety suffered bodily pain or distress of one sort or another, eleven showed mental apprehension, two pos itive terror, one expressed spiritual ex altation, one bitter remorse. The great majority gave no sign one way or Vit other. British Medical Journal. balcony being raised, and an instant later steps were heard in the hall.

The ex quisite voice grew steadier, aid it rang out in its sweetest, purest strains. Then followed "Old Folks at Home," but her audience had gone.

The Ancient Or der of Hibernians of Illinois may In stall in the library of the University of Illinois a collection of Celtic liter ature and manuscripts at the sugges tion of Edmund J. James, president of the university. Champaign county Hi bernians are planning to urge this step. Recently the university estab lished in its curriculum a course in the Celtic language, one of the few in the United States. "The Ancient Or der ot Hibernians could do nothing better than to enlarge and maintain the collection of Irish literature and Irish archaeology," said Mr. James. "They should reproduce on the cam pus one of those famous Irish towers, one of the most characteristic features of Irish landscape, and put into that tower, or the library near that tower, a collection of books and manuscripts and pictures and archaeological speci mens."

The Man Liked Them, but They Wert Not Appreciated by His Wife. An Englishman who spent much time In Bengal tells in Blackwood's Maga zine about a couple of pythons that were kept as pets. He says: "One hears a good deal about the snakes, but one sees very little of them at any time and in cold weather noth ing at all. Indeed, the only snakes 1 68w were two great pythons which f planter kept in one of bis indigo vats for his private delectation. He loved to watch them and feed them and roks them with a stick and see their fiat. vicious beads drive at It with the speed and force of a steam hammer. "His wife liked them less because one of them bad once escaped from the Tat and wandered into ber bedroom. It was daytime, and she was resting from the heat, and, hearing it advance, breathing heavily, she thought it was ber somewhat asthmatical fox terrier and told it to He down. As It seemed to be making for her bed instead, she looked up to find that it was one of the pythons looking for a warm place in which to lie. Her screams brought her husband, who, annoyed by this esca pade of a pet which his wife had nev er properly appreciated, thoughtlessly seized it by the neck, with the result that In a twinkling It had knotted itself around his arm and nearly pulped It before his bearer could arrive and get It by the tail. "Two men. It seems, can deal with a python fairly effectively by grasping each an end of it, thus preventing it from weaving itself into the coils that crush. But no single .man is ot much use, for the reason that be cannot In the nature of things grasp and keep taut an eighteen foot length of writh ing muscle The planter told me that, as It was, bis arm bad turned black and blue all over, as If it had been squeezed In a heavy door, and It was weeks be fore he could use it. But be still loved bis python." Each Otherness. Nothing is of real value in the world except people. Never hurt a person by a wrong thought or by word or by act. Never hurt each other. Then go on a big discovering expedition and find each other. Never say, "That person bas nothing in him," for that oniy means that you haven't found it yet. Then, last of all, never think you are the only person. You are just a part of "each other." You are not some body and the rest of us everybody else. We ore each other. Life Is each other ness, not e very body-elsen ess. St Nich olas. Graves In Pawn. Iq times ot financial difficulties the Loochooans, residents of the south western islands of Japan, sometimes pawn the graves of their relatives. They are always redeemed, however, failure to do so meaning family dis grace. The turtle back shaped tombs, usually located on a hillside facing the water, are elaborate affairs of stone and cement, and their cost and upkeep often bankrupt the family. REFORMED BY A SONG.
