The most troublesome man in. the
church is not the rudely outspoken one,
nor yet the chronic grumbler and OBJ
iector nor yet the perpetual critic and
fault finder, nor yet the church gossip.
Bad as they are, they are not SO bad as
the man who applies every thougbtless
remark, every word and deed that is
capable of inappreciable Interpretation,
to himself and who is continually being
hurt, offended and insulted. You can
scarcely crook your finger without CIV
ing him offense. He is always on the
lookout for slights and insults and takes
them when they are neither intended
nor given. The least little thing throws
him off his guard into whirlwind Of
passion, and he threatens to leave the
church. Don't be easily provoked.

Cook Was Thigh Bone and One
Leg-Identified By Objects Lying
Around.

Missoula, Mont, Sept. 25.-The Mis-
soulian tomorrow morning will contain
a sensational story Of the recovery and
burial of George Colgate, the deserted
cook of the notorious hunting party
headed by William Z. Carlin, son of
General Carlin, late commander of the
of Columbia, U. S. A. The
discovery was made about Aug. 20 by
Lieutenant Elliott, eight miles below
the spot where the desertion occurred
on the Clearwater river. All that re-
manned of Colgate's body was a thigh
bone and one leg, and these were man
gled and gnawed by wild beasts in
Testing that region. 1t is presumed the
balance of the remains were carried
away by animals into the mountain
Businesses, or washed away by the
waters of the Clearwater. At the
same spot was also found a watch, two
boxes, fishing line and other articles,
identified as Colgate's property. The
remains were inferred at Lower Hot
Springs, on the north fork of the mid
die fork of Clearwater.
Lieutenant Elliott was sent out on
this mission by the present commander
of the department of the Columbia, to
which official he will make a full re-
port. there being many points tending
to prove that Colgate's desertion by the
Carlin party was cowardly in the eX-
