ST. PETER AT THE GATE.

. St. Peter stood guard at the golden gate, With a solemn mein and air sedate. When up to the top of the golden stair A man and a woman ascended there, Applied for admission. They came and stood.

Before St. Feter, so great and good, In hope the City of Peace to win. And asked St. Peter to let them in.

The woman was tall and lank and thin Vith a scraeey beardlet upon the

chin.

The man was short and thick and

stout, Ills stomach was built so It rounded out; His face was pleasant, and all the while He wore a kindly and genial smile.

"We two come hither, beseeching thee A glittering robe and a pair of wings.

And he said as he entered the Realm

Then, seeming a different thought to

take.

Slowly, half to himself, he spake:

"Thirty years with that woman there? No wonder the man hasn't got any

hair!

Swearing 13 wicked. Smoke s not

lie smoked and swore I should think

Thirty years with that tongue so

Ho! Angel Gabriel! Give him a harp!

A jeweled harp, with a golden string!

Good sir, pass In where the angels

One with the cushion up near the

GREAT LAND FOR ALFALFA

KTo let us enter the heavenly land.

And play our harps with the angel band. Of nie, St Peter, there is no doubt; There's nothing from heaven to, bar me out. I've been to meeting three times a veek, And almost always I'd rise and speak. Tve told the sinners about the day When they'd repent of their evil way; I've told my neighbors L've told 'em all '.Bout Adam and Eve, and the primal fall, I've shown them what they'd have to do

If they's pass In with the chosen few; I've marked their path of duty clear; Laid out the plan for their whole-

career. "I've talked and talked to 'em loud and long, For my lungs are good and my voice

is strong. So, good St. Peter, you'll clearly 6ee The gate of heaven is open for me, But my old man, I regret to say, Hasn't walked exactly In the narrow

way; He smokes and he swears; and grave , faults he's got, And I don't known w hether he'll pass or not.

"He never would pray with an earnest vim. Or go to revival, or Join in the hymn. So I had to leave him in sorrow there,

While I, with the chosen, united In prayer. He ate what the pantry chanced to

afford. While I, in my purity, sang to the Lord. And if cucumbers were all he got, It's a chance if he merited them or not. "But oh, St. Peter, I love him so,

To the pleasure of heaven let him go.

I've done enough a saint I've been.

Won't that atone? Can't you let him

in? By my grim gospel I know 'tis so That the unrepentant fry below,

But isn't there some way you can see That he may enter who's dear to me?

It's a narrow gospel which I pray,

But tho chosen expect to find some

way Of coaxing or fooling or bribing you,

So that their relation can amble

through. And say, St. Peter, it seems to mo That gate isn't kept as it ought to be. JYou ought to stand right by the opening there, And never sit down Jn that easy chair. And say, St. Peter, my sight is dimmed.

Hut I don't like the way your whiskers

are trimmed.

They're cut too wide, and outward

toss;

Thev'd look better narrow, cut

straight across.

Well, we must be going, our crown to

win, Bo open, St Peter, and we'll pass In.

Bt. Peter sat quiet and stroked his

staff;

But. spite of his office, he had to

laugh.

Then said, with a fiery gleam In his

eye: Who's tending this gate, you or I?"

And then he arose, In his statue tall,

And pressed a button upon the wall,

And said to the imp who answered

the bell; Escort this female around to hell!"

The man stood still as a piece of

stoneStood sadly, gloomily, there alone. A. lifelong, settled idea he had

That his wire was gooa ana ne was

bad.

He thought if the woman went down

below That he would surely have to go; That if she went to the regions dim,

There wasn't the ghost of a show for

him. 61owIy he turned, by habit bent, To follow wherever the woman went St Peter, standing on duty there, Observed that the top of his head was

bare. He called the gentleman back and said: "Friend, how long hast thou been wed?" "Thirty years" (with a weary sigh)

And then he thoughtfully added "Why?" 6t. Peter was silent. With head bent down

He raised his hand and scratched his

crown.

of Day: 'Well, this

AN EVENT FOR MASONS

THE HUMAN BODY.

It Is a Mm,mm of Tiny Soapy Globnles

Called "Myelin.."

Man Is made of soap and not of dust,

according to a statement recently delivered before the Harvey society at

tho Academy of Medicine in New York

city by Professor J. G. Adarui.

Man is not entirely made of soap, of course, but there are scattered through his body an unknown .number of tiny

globules called "myelins," which are now believed to be a primitive form of

true soap. It is the only pure type of

soap on earth, and scientists say it may be that man was originally constructed on a self cleansing principle. All he bad to do was to exercise his will power think bard and set his myriads of soap globules In motion. The soapy nature of human beings has been discovered by means of the polarizing microscope. Prof essor Adami gave a history of the curious researches which led up to the great "find." Fifty years ago Virchow stumbled on the presence' of myelin globules In nearly every tissue of the body. They were plentiful in the brain. They dlssolved-in hot alcohol. Strong alkalis caused them to shrink. Virchow thought the myelins were albumens. It was not until 1898 It was discovered they possessed peculiar refractive power. Finally Professor Lohlein of Carlsruhe made an elaborate study of

the globules and showed under the polarizing microscope they had queer cross markings and were in reality "liquid crystals," showing precisely the same markings as soap globules. This was considered sufficient to demonstrate their Identity with soap. The myelins, or soap globules, seem to contain a remarkable substance Intermediate between fluids and crystals.

PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR

Woman's Cemetery Association Centerville Holds a - Business Meeting and Elects Officers.

Window of Celluloid.

One of the many uses to which cellu

loid is put is in supplying window lights for the curtains of automobile tops. Celluloid is made in sheets of extreme thinness down to a thickness

of only, five-cue thousandths of an inch, and such sheets of celluloid can be rolled up as readily and closely as sheets of paper. From sheets of transparent celluloid pieces are cut of the

sizes required for the windows, and When these have been set in place they

can be rolled up with the curtain, like

any other part of It While the window of celluloid can thus be readily rolled up it is liable to be dented or crumpled, as a roll of paper would be If crushed, and so celluloid is not a perfect material for this use, but It appears to be the best that has yet been found.

Very Wise Move. liobos and petty offenders who land in the Hancock county jail in the future will not find themselves on "easy street." The commissioners over there have adopted an order requiring that all such prisoners shall labor eight hours each day on the streets and public highways.

Centerville, January 12. (Spl) The Centerville Woman's Cemetery association met on last Friday afternoon in the rooms of the Civic Club, with a

large attendance, Mrs. Minnie Wright

presiding.

There were suggestions and discus

sions in regard to plans of work for the coming year and from the tenor of

the meeting it was apparent that the

members will not neglect the duties

that lie before them. The president appointed standing committees for the various depart

ments, to serve for the present year, in connection with the board of offi

cers that were elected at a previous meeting.

Lord Rothschild and Jar Gould. Lord Rothschild, who Is taking a prominent part In the commission which is considering as to the best territory for Jewish colonization, is the wealthiest member of the wealthiest and most famous banking bouse In the

world. His monetary and social Influ

ence suggests the monarch rather than

the financier. There is a story that

Jay Gould once called upon him on business. Lord Rothschild sent out word that he was too busy to see the caller. Mr. Gould, not accustomed to

being denied audience by any one, sent back rather a tart repetition of his request After an interval the attendant returned with this reply from Lord Rothschild: "Tell Mr. Gould that Europe is not for sale."

be introduced logically is entitled to first consideration and if it fits the

case, as viewed by the judiciary committee, Senator Kirkman's bill is

likely to be tne one discarded, un

less there is some feature or features embodied therein which may be regarded of special importance and which are missing from the Hugg bill. The sentiment among certain politicians of the "professional" class that the metropolitan police law must be drowned continues to make itself manifest. The situation is this: In counties where there are no cities af

fected by the metropolitan police law, the representatives and senators are

as likely to assist in repealing the

statute as to oppose such action. In

cities where the metropolitan police

law is in effect and where the on-

position to it has influence with the county's legislators, a strong pres

sure will be brought to bear to have them vote for its repeal. In other

cities where the law is generally liked, there will be a bad rumpus if the legislators representing such cities should do anything to oust the system. Richmond, according to the men

who plan . to wreck the metropolitan police system, is one of the cities

where the people approve such government of police affairs. Marion is

a city where it is claimed, tne op

position is so great that Grant county legislators can be counted on to do

their part toward repealing the bill.

For some reason the Hanly forces

seem to be auiet on the subject. It

was stated here tonight that in all probability petitions will be prepared

in Richmond and other cities where

the law is in force, asking the general

assembly to refuse to repeal it. If this method Is undertaken, it will not be baren of result, it is asserted, for in the face of the asserted sentiment

of the majority of people the general

assembly would hesitate before cutting out the statute. It must be understood, however, that some of the strongest influences in the state may be brought to bear upon the legislature In an effort to have it restore

the police power to the mayors of j

cities instead of letting it remain in

the hands of the governor. Though neither Senator Kirkman nor Representative Ratliff could be seen to

night, it is understood that both will oppose the repeal of the law.

SEVEN CROPS GROWN A YEAR EACH YIELDING WELL ON IRRIGATED LAND SPLENDID APPLE ORCHARDS.

John Boren, George Showalter, Jesse E. Brown and Bert Hodgins all of Fountain City have returned from New Mexico and Texas where they

went three weeks ago. The party had a most pleasant visit and are enthusiastic about the agricultural prospects in the country which they visited. They first went to Roswell. N. M., where a week was spent. There

they saw some of the finest farm

land that had ever been their privil

ege to examine. There alfalfa grows in seven crops a year, yielding all the way from a ton and a half to two tons per acre. Apples, one of which was exhibited at the Palladium office

grow in great abundance and to large size. From one orchard which stretched as far as the eye could see,

the party was told that the owner had

sold fruit last year to the amount of

$65,000. This highly productive land

has been irrigated.

All four of the men bought land in

the panhandle district of Texas.

Although instructed to be very

careful of large bears and other ferocious animals, the party did not in

the least fear, being always assured

that they would be fully protected by

Mr. Showalter.

On the trip Mr. Hodgins had a

watch "faked," but by clever detective work on the part of members of his own party it was returned to

him.

Messrs Boren and Hodgins took a

fifty mile auto trip into Texas where

they saw Mr. Whipo, formerly of Fountain City and Chas. Jackson who formerly lived near Arba. They

have been there about six years.
