The arrest of Cashier L. Redding
of the LambertOn bank on the charge
of having violated the internal
revenue law, was about the smallest
piece of business on the part of the
revenue detective sharks that we
have read of for many a day. A
two cent stamp was carelessly
omitted from a cashiers check by
the clerk of the bank. The man to
whom the check was issued after
wards called and told the bank of
it's failure. The bank asked for the
check to stamp the same, but the
payee, evidently thinking that he
should receive a consideration, re-
fused to present the check. Matters
ran along for several weeks when
the payee notified the revenue de-
partment, and Mr.. Redding was
arrested. The petty piece of busi-
ness will cost Mr.. Redding 500,
more or less, attorneys fees and all,
and yet no good will be accomplish
ed. Banks and business men hav-
ing unstamped checks are liable to
make the omission any day.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.


What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price tor it?
Ans-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
put forth with exaggerated claims, but
are certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is
nothing equal to Chamberlain 's' Cough

THE LITTLE ONES PRESENTS.
Santa Claus Furnishes the Trees,
But Fathers and Mothers Gifts
Should BE Plainly Marked.

Ella Morris Kretschmar writes enter
tainingly Of "The Christmas Tree" in
the Woman's Home Companion, and in
the course of her article says:
"Do not make the mistake of hanging
gifts on the tree. The tree is from
Santa Claus, the gifts from family and
friends-a distinction which should be
made clear to each little mind. And
label each gift before placing it under
the tree-the proper place for all Christ
mas gifts. Santa Claus is sure to be
given credit for anything anonymous.
The writer once received a shock not
easily forgotten. After much shopping,
supplemented by work at home, beau
tiful tree, with numerous gifts beneath,
gladdened the eyes and heart of her
one and only on Christmas morning.
Every thing was duly enjoyed through
out the day, but in the twilight two lit
tie arms were slipped about mothers
neck and soft voice asked: Mother,
why is it that everybody gives me pref
ty things on Christmas but you and
father = Aunt Mary, Uncle Edwin,
Eloise, Mamie, all the rest of the fam
lily, and even my friends-all but just
your l would rather have something
from you than from anyone, even Santa
Claus
Think of it! After 50 much effort,
and no explanations possible! Santa
Claus still gets credit for the tree, but
mothers and fathers gifts are plainly
marked.
There are some parents whose con-
sciences are so painfully constructed
that to them the Santa Claus fiction
seems a wicked falsehood not to be en-
couraged. We pity them and lament
their honesty. If consistent they must
frown upon all that mans imagination
has done to adorn life, TO embellish the
world. AS for Santa Claus. may he not
be regarded by the Christian as typical
Ct the giver of good gifts? And to the
honest nineeteenth-century pagan does
his coming not commemorate the birth
of the acknowledged highest type Of
earthly man? Santa Claus needs no
apologist. He has made lives better
and brighter since his first coming.
do not regard the Christmas tree a
bother even if fatigue and sacrifice
are it's price. Remember how rich you
are in having some one in your heart
and home who is expecting Santa Claus.
And remember the splendid privilege of
comforting so much happiness.

DIR. POTTER FOUND GUILTY.
Baptist Churches Sustain the
Charges Against Him.

New York, June 2S.-The Rev. DR.. Daniel
c. Potter, formerly pastor of the Tab
ernacle Baptist Church. and eternaliy the
enemy of John D. Rockefeller. has after
twelve hours session of his peers. been
adjudged guilty of many actions unbecom-
ing gentleman and an officer OF the
church militant. Intoxication. lying and
undue familiarity with women are some
of the charges sustained
1t is only the truth that. had DR.. Potter
been on trial before a civil tribunal where
a unanimous verdict is required, he would
not have been adjudged guilty The final
vote on the conviction was 2s for and 10
against.
The men who voted were the representa-
tives of more than 100 Baptist churches.
They were in session from l o'clock yes
terday afternoon to l O'Clock this morn
ing. A minority report sustained the min
ister. 1t was signed by G. B. Forester,
Norman Fox, F. c. a Jones. Leighton
Williams, Theodore NJ. Bantai William II.
Alice and Joshua c. Sanders.
Mr. Rockfeller's hand was visible all
through the trial Throughout the long
hours of the argument the millionaire was
represented by George W. Murray and
Edward Flint Several representatives Of
the City Mission also Joined in the prose-
cUtion.
The signers of the minority report, only
one less in number than the signers of
the majority report, argued the contrary
and toward the end the minister was
heard for an hour and twenty minutes in
his own defense. Many were unable 10
stand the strain of the long session,
which accounted for the small vote on
the report.
DR.. Potter's troubles first began when
he was pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle
Church. The New York Baptist City Mis-
sion Society foreclosed its mortgage on
the church and forced the doctor to give
up his place of worship-a hardship
which drew from the minister a strong
denunciation of ]. D. Rockefeller, the
alleged prime mover in the foreclosure
and sale.
DR.. Potter, after the mission people had
secured possession of the church. re-
treated to the parsonage adjoining and
refused to move. War was Immediately
declared The doctor was a prisoner in
the house for weeks, receiving food sup
plies and friends through a back window
by means of a rope ladder. He was finally
ousted.
When asked about the verdict DR.. Pot
ter said:
II have not been fairly treated. I had
to conduct my defense almost single
handed, while Mr.. Rockefeller had able
attorneys to prosecute the case The
City Mission Society also took occasion
to join hands against me, but. they will
see that / am not done yet. / propose to
