HE PAID THE CHURCH DEBT.


He lives in Columbus, and is known
to have thousands. But his reputation
by no means would justify his being
called a phlanthropist.
A week or two ago he went down in
the country to his his old home" On
his first Sunday there he went to the
old church near the mill. Memories Of
the Sunday mornings of his boyhood
days flooded him, days when he sat in
the hot church and listened to-the
boys shouting while swimming in the
old miIlpond. His heart on this par
ticular Sunday morning was grateful
for all things, and especially the privi-
lege of attending the old church again.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
minister asked the congregation for a
contribution to pay off the church in
debtedness. When the steward"
reached the old Columbus miser, whose
reputation for stinginess had long been
known in the little hamlet, the sancti-
monious church official was somewhat
startled by being addressed:
"How much is the entire indebtedness
on the church?'
Upon being told, the would-be phil
anthropist, before the eyes Of the con-
rreea tion, took out his chec5hook and
fountain pen and wrote a check for the
full amount. The steward waited until
the check was safely deposited in the
basket before continuing the ''colIec-
tion.'
When the church was dismissed the
people fairly buzzed with the excite
ment of discussing the payment of the
church debt by Mr., Blank, the million
aire from Columbus
And no wonder. The debt was S17 so

warfare that is always to be deplored and invariably brings demoralization of political and moral standards to a country.
 Representative Lacey, of Iowa, bears a close resemblance to Secretary Alger. Reed met him a few days before the adjourn ment of congress last month.
 Lacey the speaker remarked, with a drawl that is peculiar to him, you look so much like Alger that I was about to speak to you for him."
 Lacey laughed, and Reed continued:
 Only Needed the whitewash
 There is one thing, which if you had, would make you identical with him. the speaker added, and when the Iowa mem Der asked what it was, Reed said "A real good coat of whitewash." This is one of the true stories that circulated about the capitol just before the member told each other farewell, and illustrates the thrusts which Reed delighted to give the adminis- tration. His indulgences were always open and he never enjoined secrecy or objected to quotation. His remark about this coun- try buying Filipinos al S2 per head and pro- cceding to the fun of shooting them has become circulated widely
 Reed was known to deprecate much the narroWness of motive which prompted the average member of the house in his Iegis- lative conduct. recall one conversation with him in which this topic was discussed He was speaking of the willingness of in- dividual members to support any measure of local interest to their respective districts. regardless as to whether it had much merit or not, while they would cry out against great public bills far more merltorious and worthy of passage.
 The average member,' he said, swhen he comes to congress no sooner reaches Washington and is sworn in than he be- comes overwhelmed with desire to return two years hence.
 Quickly Becomes Narrow
 What Is the result? However broad. na. tional and patriotic he may have been dur ing his first canvass and however noble may have been his conceptions of the duty of a national legislator, he quickly becomes narrow and, perhaps, may say, cowardly in his conduct.
 "E1e begins to be governed by local con- alterations and whenever measure is brought to his attention the first question he asks is whether it will further his in- terests at home. The exigency of his own political fortune controls him. and eventu- ally in the majority of cases there appears nothing of the patriot in the man, but rather mean selfishness that makes it im- possible for him to act courageously, re- gardess of personal interest and in the interest Of the entire country when na- tional measures are before congress. I be- iieve this yielding to local considerati ions, this selfishness, this want of independence, this general absence of courage in con- gress, is the cause of so few members con- tinuing for any length of time in the house. The percentage of those who remain long in congress is small and is composed gent orally of those are broad minded and have acted under the guidance of reason and right, boldly and independently, having regard last for local considerations.

 They filter your blood and keep it pure and free from disease breeding germs.
 Your other organs may need care, but your kidneys most, because they do most.
 If you are sick, begin with your kidneys, because as soon as they are well, they will help all the other organs to health.
 The treatment of some diseases may be delayed without danger, not so with kidney disease.
