Teddy the Terror and Teddy Himself.
We gaze with delight .on the well groomed
gues~
Of this wondrous state of the wondrous West
And scarcely can smother our glad surprise
At the gentle light of his peaceful eyes:
We list to his voice tuned Sweet and low
As the whispercd song when the breezes blow
And bask in the smile of the kindly face
That bears of the terrible not a trace.
When last he was with us he came to slay
The beasts of the hills in relentless way,
And his eyes were cold and his teeth set tight
And his nerve Jacked up to the point of fight
There was fearlessness in his poise of head.
There was reckless dash in his hero tread,
And the garb he wore on his well knit form
Took the hearts of the mountaineers by storm.
How tbe echosJumped when his rifle rang,
What a song of destruction his bullets sangf
How the lions clawed at their punctured sides
Where the deadly pellets had cut their hides.
And the wounded nionsters had fought for llfe
Felt the keen, sharp stabs of his blood-flecked
knife
As he plunged it home with relentless stroke
Of an arm as strong as the mountain oak.
But now he cumes with an eye as mild
As the peaceful eye of a little child,
And with face all shorn of the cloud of war,
And with smile of peace are his teeth ajar!
And we list with Joy to his words Inspired,
To his phrases with eloquence softly fired.
Amazed at the contrast 'twixt angel and ell-
'Twixt Teddy the terror and ~leddy himself/.

"I had a sever attack of bilious colic,
got a bottle of Chamberlain s Colic,Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two
doses and was entirely cured," says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. "My
neighbor across the street was sick for a
week, had two or three bottles of medi-
cine from the doctor. He used them for
three or four days without relief, then
called in another doctor who treated him
for some days and gave him no relief, so
discharged him. I went over to see him
the nex~ morning. He said his bowels
were in a terrible fix, that they had been
running off so long that it was almost
bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and he said 'No,' I went
home and brobght him my bottle and
gave h/m one dose, told him to take
another dose in fifteen or twenty minu-
tes if he did not find relief, but he took
no more and was entirely cured. I thin~
it the best medicine I have ever tried."

Revenue Bill Never Passed in Legal Form.
Pueblo, August 6.--Judge Dixon in
the district court this morning rendered
his decision in the case of the people ex
tel. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
way rathe state board of equalization,
holding that the revenue bill enacted by
the thirteenth assembly was unconstitu-
tional or rather that no such law has
been in effect, as the senate had never
voted on the bill, but only on an amend-
ment as submitted by the conference
committee.
In his opinion Judge Dixon concludes:
"First, The action of the house of rep-
resentatives in placing the bill on final
passage was in violation of section 22, ar-
ticle 5, of the constitution, because said
bill carried with it substantial amend-
ments which had not been printed.
"Second, That the action of the senate
in adopting the report of the conference
committee was constitutionally on the
adoptiou only of the amendments con-
tained therein, and was not a final pas-
aage of the bill.
"Third, That the bill being rendered
nugatory by constitutional mandate the
relaters are entitled to the relief prayed
for.
"Entertaining nodoubt whatever as to
the correctnssa of these conoluaions, I
deem it unnecessary to express any opin-
ion on the first objection urged against
sity, however urgent, can ever ~ustify a
clear infraction of the fundamental law.
In such a case to all arguments based
upon public convenience or public pol-
icy, the courts can make but one answer,
'What is written, is written.'
The distinguishing feature of our Amer
ican system of government is the liberty
of the indivtdval and it is just as essen-
tial to protect the individual from the
oppression of the many as it is from the
tyranny of the despot. To this end con-
stitutional government is ordained, and
under the broad shield of the constitu-
tion,if justice reigns in the land, the
humblest citizen may take refuge and
say, 'Though I be alone, yet will I not
be afraid.'
"It is well for us to remember that the
views and policies upon which we are
now divided are ephemeral, but the con-
stitution is permanent. It is well to re-
member that the majority of today may
be the minority of tomorrow, that the
statutes of one session may be swept
from the books at the uext, and that
Ihose who now think they are justified
in construing away the constitution, may
shortly be emploring its protection. Our
interests as adherents of this policy or
that policy may pass away in the n/ght
whle we sleep. The only interests that
abide with hie are our interests as indi-
vidual citizens of the commonwealth,
which are secured and guaranteed by the
constitution.
"It behooves us therefore to look upon
the instrument, not as a dead parchment
to b%hidden from view or brought to
light as the emergencies which we our-
selves create may demand, but as the
ever living, ever present supreme law
the rigid enforcement of which at all
times an d under all circumstances is es-
sential to the l;erpetuation of free gov-
ernment and the preservation of our lib-
erties and as individuals. The writ is
granted."
Specific objections urged against the
validity of the law as summed up by
Judge Dixen are:
"That the bill was passed after the
legislative session had terminated by con-
stitutional limitation, in violation of sac.
6, article 5.
"Second,That the bill as authorized by
the presiding officers of the two houses
and signed by the governor was never in
fact passed by the senate.
"Third, That if the bill passed the gen-
eral assembly, it carried with it substan-
tial amendments which had not been
printed, in violation of see. 22, article 5."
The opinion covered forty pages of
closely written legal cap and took one
and one-half hours to deliver.
Willard Taller represented the relators
while Assistant Attorney General Morri-
son represented the respondents.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
decision, Morrison asked that time be
granted to prepare a bill of exveptmns to
take the case to the supreme court.
Astounded the Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown of Bennettsville,
S. C., was once immensely surprised.
"Through long suffering from dyspep-
sia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run
down. She had no strength or v~ggr
and suffered great distress from her
stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters
which helped her at once, and, after
using four bottles, she is entirely well
can eat anything. Its a grand tonic, and
its gentle laxative qualities are splendid
for to:pad liver." For indigestion, loss
of appetite, stomach and liver troubles
its a posj~ire, ~,,~r~,nteed cure. Only 50

The shirt waist man and the net waist
girl go hand in hand today, and the peo-
ple year after year keep throwing their
clothes away. The coat and the vesture
laid away to rest and where is the fleecy
shawl? And clothes get thinner and
fewer--what will be the end of it all?
Oh, what next will the shirt waist man
take from the things he has to wear?
And what will the net waist girl throw
off the shoulders now so bare? The
shirt waist man and the net waist girl
go rolhcking down the way. Have we
started a trend that is going to end in
the old fig leaf some day.--Ex.

ing the months of June and July our
baby was teethingand took a running off
of the bowels and sickness of the stom-
ach. Ris bowels would move from five
to eight times a day. I had a bottle of

They Struck it Rich•
It was a grand thing for this commu-
idty that such au enterprising firm as
Lord & Wilcox secured the agency for
1/~mg's New Discovery for Consumption,
the wonderful remedy that has startled
the world by its marvelous cures. ]?he
furor of enthusiasm over it has boomed
their business as the demand for it is
immense. They give free trial bottles
to sufferers, and positively guarantee it
to cure coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma
croup and lung troubles. A trial proves
its merit. Price 50 cents and $100,
Pinkham Sa~s Prayers will not Bring
Rain.
Rev. H. W. Pinkham preached at
Bethany Baptist church on the text: "He
maketh his sun to rise on the evil and
the good and sendeth rain on the just
and unjust." Mathew, v, 45. From whict
he attempted to show that the recent
rain in the west fell simply as the result
of a law of nature and that the special
prayers offered had nothing to do with
the case.
He said although I. Kings states that
Elijah's prayers were efficacious in pre-
venting rain for three years, that was
simply au Old Testament superstition,
we have oUtgrown, and that Christ gave
no encouragement to praying for mater.
ial prosperity, but rather for spiritual
blessings. He said:
"If God frequently interposed and
broke the course of natural law he would
be doing no kindness, but the opposite. !
A woHd not under law, in whmh like
causes sometimes produced unlike re-
sults, one for example in which water
occasionally flowed tip hill and wheat
produced thistles, would be a crazy
world.
"Fire is always hot, and, therefore, we
know how to act with reference to it. But
if it were sometimes hot and sometimes
cold, what should we do? It is because
of the certainty of natural law that hu-
man progress has been what it has.'!
Mr. Pinkham believes that sometime
the laws governing rainfall will be so
well understood that rain can beproduc-
ed by men whenever it is needed, and
that good irrigation provisions are much
more effective than prayer.--Times.

Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock a
negro, whom T. T. Morris had employed
to clean up his shop, stale a hat, a pair
of shoes and a suit of clothes while Mr.
Morris was waiting on a customer and

search was instituted and the thief was
found at dark near the railroad bridge

had on the stolen articles and Marshal
Myers put him in jail. The suit belong-

We wish that every time a country
gazeboo of a paper tells about some mau
going about with a "grin on his mug
'cos it's a girl" or making some such
funny remark because of the birth of a
kid, could be frowned upon and made to
give its news items in a decent, business
like way. There is nothing funny about
it and, besides, it gives all the praise to
the father. The mother seems to bear
no especially important part as a factor
in the case. Why don't these alleged
"funny" fellows say "Jennie Dash now
