dressed the Methodist Episcopal church
congress on the Findings of Science
and Christian Faith" He combated the
idea that science and Christianity were
opposed to each other. DR. G. d. Lock-
wood of Chicago, in discussing Chris
tian science, attributed many cures
claimed by Christian scientists to the
law of suggestion, which was also used
by physicians. DIR. NJ. S. Hughes of
Kansas City said that Christian science,
instead of coming from the Bible, as
had been asserted by Mrs. Eddy, had
been read into the Bible by the leaders

of Mrs. Eddy. as laid down in her key
to the scriptures, designating them as
meaningless words and phrases.

ct this ancient race there is no honest
II friends were as drunk as old Bachus
crew,
They'd sell you their beer. bringing bier
unto you;
In these new times.
There is the land agent almost forgot.
That floods you with snaps, in the
trades he has got;
Says his lands are as rich, and his terms
are as good,
AS Shem. Ham and Japhet's were after
the flood;
In these new times.
The customer buys, and a high price he
pays.
With double commissions, and tolls as
a slave;
But the land is found sterile, the agent
slips in,
And gets more commissions to sell 1t
again;
In these new times.
The dealers in clothing get cash as their
due,
In fitting their customers in styles quite
new;
When pressing is gone the shoddy ap-
pears,
The buttons drop off like crocodile
tears;
In these new times.
The merchant in business. his fresh
patterns show,
To every rich lady he makes low bow:
,x,;v l.,
by the queen,
Its colors are perfect. np fading in
green;
In these new times.
In showing the textures in styles that
are new
The light blends the hues from scarlet
to blue;
He makes fashions votary his story be-
lieve,
He shrugs up his shoulders and laughs
in his sleeve;
In these new times.
The dealers in money on usury feed.
The poorer the customer, deeper they
bleed;
With bonds as weapon, court records
receipts,
They gather your farms, the interest to
meet
In these new times.
Newspaper men profit by selling their
adds.
Some are not very good. some are not
very bad;
They hustle through life. boast they
cannot be bought
They ride on pass, and write without
thought.
In these new times.
The trusts, new craftsman, now often
appear,
And hold in their hands the golden
edged shears;
Trimming labor and user, by this new
devise,
They buy for trine, but they get
large price,
In these new times.
And lastly the lawyer. though learned
in the law.
Spends most of his time in searching
for flaws;
Objections, demurrers and motions his
fort.
And always when beaten, he frowns on
the court
In these new times.

| powers of the earth. The representa-. | tives of the people had decided that ] humanity demanded that a stop should
 be put to that conflict which Spain was waging in a neighboring island with nc l promise of the restoration of order and | with no result except the threatened ex- | termination of a race.
 When the call for volunteers came l there was no selfishness in your prompt | ana loyal response Your wives and | your children were not in danger, you | had no personal grievance to set right, no personal wrongs to avenge, but in the purity of patriotism and of devotion to duty you marched to the camp. In the circumstances of the case, the very
 act or your enlistment implied all the | deeds of bravery and in itself was the sublimity of courage.
 The past of this regiment is secure,
 and no man who recognizes the fact
 that duty is the grandest word in the language and lies at the basis of all true honor and glory will ever wish that that past could be changed, and so l am glad that you brought back this flag with no mark of battle upon it. am glad that you left no comrades dead in the trenches of Santiago or upon the hill of San Juan, for the smile of con graduation is better than the tear of memory, and l had rather grasp the hand of the living hero than to deck his grave with the flowers of remem brance.
 ''It is not for me to predict what of duty, of honor or of sacrifices the fu ture will bring to the members of this regiment or to the soldiers of this en- campment. but this I do know that wherever the flag of the United States waves there it will never be hauled down, and that wherever and whenever it takes it's departure it will float on the winds of heaven and wait it's benedic- tion to a people who have felt its power and who give it the parting salute of respect and honor'

A STOCK BROKER BARS WOMEN.

A STOCK BROKER BARS WOMEN. Deliver me from any more wheat deals with women," said the commits sion man, Wearly. Just read this let ter. Do you see what she says? Calls me robber and says she will prosecute me. She won't do that. of course, be- cause If she did her folks would find out about her little speculation, and I know her we'll enough to understand that she wouldn't let it out if she could help it.
 and she couldn't prosecute me, anyway.
 Then look at the rest of it. One would think from that letter I was run ming the biggest skin game on earth. But l suppose I ought not to be sur- prised. I never saw a woman yet who didn't want odds of million to one in her favor if she took it into her head to put up a little money on something
 "Ill tell you what brought out all that abuse This woman decided some time ago to trade little in wheat She wrote, sending me twenty dollars, with instructions to buy her a thousand bushels. I did so, but the price of wheat went down almost as soon as I had telephoned the order over to the firm at the board I made up my mind that she shouldn't lose if I could help it, even if I had to help her out myself. So I began marginng for her on my own account. I put up twenty dollars without being worried much for I thought the price would go up soon, but it didn't, and I had to spend another twenty dollars to save my own margin. There was forty dollars gone just to protect her little twenty dollars. Be- fore the market began to come up again I had put in eighty dollars. Then one day the price came up, very gradually. As soon as it got to point where
