The- remarkable atory of thla deuf-bllnd

education and looking out upon life with a
vision quite aa clear as the beat of net

parts of the world. The Interesting account

unique in literary annala; but her present

noteworthy.

which adds to Its charm. It represents her

that the true prophets are those Who preach

the dominant tone, In letters as In life, has
always been optimistic.
"The test of all beliefs," says Mies Rellar,
"Is their effect In life. If it be true that
optimism compels the world forward and
pessimism retards It, then It Is dangerous to
propagate a peaalmlatla philosophy. One
who believes that the pain In the world

Low Rates e Tellowstoae.
At a meeting of passenger men held In
Chicago -fwesdsy and . Wednesday It was
decided to make a reduction In th passen
ger rate from points on th Missouri river
to th. Yellowstone National park of about
$30. This rate will apply during the three
months when th park is open in th sum
mer. Tha object of th reduction, as stated
by a local passenger official, la to bring th
trip within the reach of the middle claa
of person who In th past have desired to
pay a visit to the park, but have been
forced to forego the pleasure. It is th
special desire of the railroad to get teach-
era, superintendents, student and other
started In the direction of the park, and It
is to this class that the natural wonder of
the place appeal most strongly, as th op
portunltle- of studying geology, eto., are
practically unlimited.
If a special rate were put In from Chi
cago In conjunction with the rat already
made from the Missouri river, th total
reduction would probably amount to $35
or MO. It Is understood the Burlington
was th prime mover In securing th re
duction already made.

PROTEST BY URE EXPLAINED
Complaint Agolaat Belt Line Assess'
- meat and Reasoa Why It
Was Made.
The erroneous statement that th amount
$98,870, which ha been fixed by tne tag
commissioner and the Board of Review
a the assessment of the Omaha Belt road
for the 1904 city taxes Is more than twice
the assessment of thla road laat year,
ha Inadvertently been made. Lost year
th tax commissioner assessed th Una
at $583,220, the Board of Review cutting
this valuation to $494,000 and the State
Board of Equalisation to $396,480. Full
taxes rn this last amount were paid by
the Missouri Paciflc company a few week
go. Th protest of W.. O. Vf to the
assessment of $98,870 Is based on th theory
that th old law gave local taxing bodies
the clear right to assess traction lines
within any single county, but that the
new revenue law require th returns from
the State Board of Equalisation to be ac
cepted; further that thla proviso does not
become effective until 1904. Therefor
there are no return from th new tat
board to be used by the tax commis
sioner. Tha amount employed by the tax
commissioner was taken from the cousty
records and is the last valuation of the
Belt line by the state board. He feared
that unless he usod It any possible assess
ment might be lost through revenue liti
gation, holding that the City Board of
Equalisation could make corrections, after
th supreme court decision la received. In

Mystlo and religious chivalry found
poeUo expression in . ancient times. Its
one subject wo th "Quest of th Holy
Grail," that legend of high endeavor and
blameless life, whose beauty never grow
old.'
It is said that Joseph of Arlmathea, hav
ing obtained leave from Pilate, took down
the body of Jesus from the oros. pro
ceeded first to the upper room where th
last supper was held and found there this
vessel the holy grsll. . Then as he took
down th Lord's dead body, he received
Into the vessel many drop of blood which
Issued from th still open wounds in His
feet, hand and side. This last feature,
which Tennyon in his beautiful idyll, "Th
Holy ' Grail." ha overlooked 1 obviously
of th esseno of the conception. -
According to Cathollo theology, where th
body or blood of Christ Is, there, by virtu
of th apostatio union, His soul and di
vinity ar. That th grail, such being its
contents, should be marvelous, divine, mys
terious, wa but natural and logical. Won
ders extraordinary ulracles, In fact wers
effected by It. Nothing could be mors
fantastlo and extravagant than, all thla,
were th grail conoelved of merely as a
relic, however venerable. But all is alterud
when it is brought into close relations, so
cording to th design of It Inventors, with
th mystery of th eucharist. It I said
that Joseph of Arlmathea brought it Into
Brtttaln, after which it disappeared. Ac
cording to on account it vanished when
anyone not pur cam near It, and only th
righteous and holy of Uf could se It.
