Mr.. Page endeavored TO explain that the
sermon was not SO personal as Hiram had
supposed. but he noticed evidences of dis
appointment in the invalid's face. and de-
sisted in bewilderment. Hiram thanked
him again; expressed the hope tina he
should be able to attend another service at
the South church before long. and SO MIR.
Page took his leave, resolved to say nothing
more in public about Hi Gates future.
Blu this was not to be. Before the week
was over there WAS a genuine church war in
Gainesville. The Rev. Mr.. Locke had
come out as Hiram's champion, and it was
understood that he had prepared a sermon
in nsw to that of his brother across the

joys of Paradise had never appeared SO
precious to his hearers before. He pic
tured a place where almost anybody could
have a good time, and he showed Hi Gates
not by name, of course, but by unmis-
taxable impllcation-in a prominent posi-
tion and surrounded by Injuries, which the
members of the South church-by implioa-
tion ~again-might fail to gain.
His discourse was widely repo rted
through the town and it stirred the soul of
the Rev. Mr.. Page beyond endurance. On

WAS we'll enough to go to church. He went

Kate Field Has Some Idoas ON the Pro-

posed scheme.
NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Miss Kate Field left
the Victoria hotel this afternoon for Long
Branch to take a short rest. When asked
what she thought about the proposed Chau-
tauqua dress reform for women, she said
that she hardly knew what tho Chautauqua
people wete driving at. There ID one
thing sure,' Miss Field said, "the projected
change in woman's dress won be carried
out unless tho fashionable leaders say no
and set the example, no matter how much
the reform is agitated at C~hautauqua or
anywhere else. Take shop girls, who per-
haps as class are the silliest of the business
women. They certainly need tho free
use of all their muscles, but do you think
that they would adopt any dress but a con-
ventionRl one?
eth reform, as l understand it, ia more
particularly for professional II business
women, but they are by no means needless
of fashion. But the fact remains that our
dress naturally inc by the prevailing styles
hamper us. We all know that our girls
waists are too long and too small"

"Oh, no; that could never be with the
present fashion-makers. Why, the leading
dressmakers will not make q garment for q
customer unless she wears q corset, and
they dictate just the kind of n corset she
shall wear, too. II these women reformers
propose Q sort of embroidered bathing suit
for a walking dress-wsll, all can say 10

~ ~ IA e ~ .
T7HERE ARE TWO CHURCHES IN
M Gainesville. They stand facing each
~ other, by the road which leads from
the village to the cemetery, and are thus
compelled to view such professions as pass
along the inevitable way, from opposite
sides.
Whether their relative position results
from accident of design, it typifes exactly
the theological attitude of their pastors.
The doctrinal sermons Of the Rev. John
Page. of the South church, burn holes in
the paper on which he makes his notes; M
Sam Brown, who builds the fires in the egg
shaped coal stove in the corner. never hears
one OF them without a discouraging sense
of the feebleness of mere human endeayor.
But the Rev. Newman Locke, of the North
church, is SO liberal in his belief that he
hopes the best, even for the ksv. Mr.. Page.

much cordially, but rather, each treats the
other rs one who has been detected in a
questionable proceeding.
There was, however, a man in Gainesville
whose attitude towards the two churches
was one Of absolute impartiality. do not
mean to imply that he mover went to church
at all; on the contrary he rarely missed n
Sunday. But he heard the Rev. Mr.. Page
AZ often in the course of a year AS he heard
the Rev. Mr.. Loche. For this reason he
was held to be little better than an infdel,
by North and South church people alike.
He was often blamed to his face and he al
ways admitted that the censure was de-
served. He always admitted everything.
Hiram Gaten-for that was his name-was
by all accounts the msekest man since
Moses. He WAS AZ harmless AZ the flower of
the field. In his humble way-which was
much humber than any other way / ever
heard of-he exempliied nearly all tho
Christian virtues. He had never been
known to engage even in an argument. His
wife, who waa said to have boon "as cross

early learned the futility OF trying to quar-

really WAS in a bad way, but l know that he
accepted this rs he had every other expe-

n calmness which not even the event itself

When the local physician became con-

Rev. John Page. and he added that il Mr..
Pogo intended to call he would better do 30

but that he did not know what to repent of.
Mr.. Page Was shocked. He WAS an earn

on earth could have prevented him from
doing his full duty by Hiram. He present

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-08-24

When Mr.. Page was all lone Hiram hadn't
asked a question; he had been wrapped in
the best slumber he had enjoyed since sick
ness Frustrated him. He had not meant to
be discourteous, but there was something
SO soothing in the minister's rich voice and
the comfortable certainty of his doctrine
that Hiram, in his weakness, had been un
able to resist sleep. He apologized humbly
when he was awakened and promised not to
do it any more.
Mr.. Page was disappointed, but not cast
down.. Failing to impart to Hiram the the
try specific examples. Gould Hiram think
of any act of his which he regretted? Yes;
Hiram WAS sorry that he had traded horses
with Jim Brakeman. Mr.. Page frightened
dealings OF this kind we're often
marked by re%prehensible deception. And
what particular part Of the transaction did
Hiram regret? Hiram deeply regretted
that the horse which Brakeman had "traded
off" had gone lame in three legs almost i'm
mediately after the swap. n had never
been of any use since. His own animal had
been a worry good one, and he had missed it
seriously.
Mr.. Blake could not see that this was OK
actly q matter for repentance on Hiram's
part, unless he had cherished ~revenReful
feelings against Brakeman. No; Hiram had
entertained no such feelings. Blakeman's
horse had been right before his (Hiram's)
eyes, but he never could learn anything
about a horse. He couldn't, in common
fairness. hold Jim Brakeman responsible
for that.
That is a fair sample of the grounds for
repentance which Mr.. Page discovered by
carefully reviewing the path of Hiram's
life. 1t is, perhaps, natulal that in the
course of 80 unsatisfactory a colloquy Mr..
Page was led to take u sharply controversial
tone, and to regard Hiram as more and
more hopelessly in the wrong. That is the
wav with all argument. 1t is hard for any
of us to escape a feeling of resentment
against those who are pig-headed enough to
hold their mistaken and imbecile opinions
| against the plain and simple truth which
we are trying to beat into them. The Rev.
Mr.. Page was only human, and he left that
bedside with the sad conviction that Hiram
Gates was a miserable sinner.
This visit occurred or Tuesday. On Fri
day Hiram was reported to be sinking fast,
and on Saturday evening the Rev. Mr.. Page
was informed that the end had come. The
case seemed to him to involve Il sad but

rel with Hiram, and they passed their days in
unvarying peace. The seven little boys and
girls who played about Hiram's door were
almost as gentle as their father. and even
at school the Gates boys got along with one

average Gainesville urohin was two a day.
