which may lead to the apprehension of
one of the kidnapers. The armhole is
partially sewed up, and in such man

part Of a garment worn by one-armed
person. The armhOle is very small,
hardly large enough to admit hand, and
yet is large enough to permit the passage
of a stump through it. The sewing is
done with large sized yarn, and has the
appearance Of having been done for some

Topeka Preacher Delivers a Lecture
on Education.

The lecture date at the High school
assembly hall was filed by Rev. d. NJ.
Fisk, of the First Congregational
church. DR.. A. E. Winship, of Boston,
was to have delivered his lecture,
Praises and Prizes" but owing to the
fact that he was suddenly taken i'll with
a sore throat and was unable to speak
above a whisper he was compelled to
cancel the date.
DR.. Fisk spoke upon the subject of
Education for the Enrichment Of Com
mon Life"
He urged upon his hearers the fact
that the young children in the public
schools should be taught the way of
meeting the social need.
There is just one way to accomplish
this" said Mr.. Fisk "and that is to
adopt Jesus spirit Of self-sacrifice. And
it is our duty to serve for in so doing
comes the happiness and joy of our life
Our only dwelling place is in man and
in God.
"Our greatest gospel is in teaching
those in our charge so that they will
have an education adequate to meet a
social need
DR.. Fisk believes in the theory Of evo-
luton. He said.- Il believe in the pro-
cess of evolution and that it has con-
tinued for millions of years. and that II
will still continue to be one Of the
powers for good or bad.
1T now rests with u.s." he said, "to
make the next century and generation
what it is"
He showed that the children must be
brought up right and that they be
taught the ways Of God so that they
may prove to be an element for good
instead of evil. He said that it was a
debt to our posterity to do this for the
children of this generation. In speak
ing of the duty of teachers in this con-
nection he said:
ut is the duty Of all to work con-
scientiously in this respect and do
everything within our power to teach
the young entrusted to our care the
ways of righteousness and justice. The
teacher should have his or her whole
heart in the work in hand, and do it
for the sake of humanity and not for
the dollars and cents to be derived. A
teacher who is in the work with no other
object in view than of drawing the sal
ary at the end of each month is a felon
and should not be allowed to remain
in charge of a school"
DR.. Fisk is a forcible speaker. and
held his audience, hardly a person leav-
ing the room during the time of his lee
ture He is an excellent story teller,
and aptly illustrates many of his strong
est points with stories.
A pleasing feature of the evening s
programme were the vocal solos Of Miss
Upton. The meeting was opened with
a duet by Miss Upton and David Bowie

MONEY TALKS.
Uncle Sam Will Take It From Turkey
IN Any Way He Can Get Tt.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The state de-
partment has received no money as yet
on account of the Turkish indemnity
claims. Nor has it had any connection
whatever with the deal which has been
made by the Cramps with the Turkish
government for the inclusion Of the
amount of the indemnity in the price
to be paid for warship by the Turkish
government But it does know that
such contract has been made, and it
also has for its own part promises from
the Turkish government that the claims
shall be paid So if the money comes
through the Cramps it will be accepted
as the state department recognizes the
right of the porte to select any mes
senger it may choose to transmit the
money. All that is necessary to make
the transaction proper is that the fact
shall clearly appear on the records that
the money is paid by the Turkish gov
ernment to the government of the
United States, which will distribute it
among the claimants adjudged to be en-
titled to CONDENSATION.
