Where to be Religious.

Many people think they are only
religious when they are engaged in
prayer, reading the Bible, listening
to sermon, taking the communion,
putting money into a contribution
box, singing hymns in the church or
performing some distinctively relig-
ieps act; everything else is called
secular; these acts only are sacred.
But the truth is, man may be as
religious in shoeing a horse, in
measuring grain, in weighing coal,
in purchasing or selling an article of
merchandise as in paying his sub
scription to the church or attending
the prayer-meeting.
The man who resists the tempt
alton to make money by lying and
swindling, and does it in the name
of Christ and Christian honesty, is
more religious, certainly more
Christian, than the man who has
offered prayers, but will cheat and
swindle when he gets the chance
The woman who can maintain he
equanimity and control her tempe

and clawing after her, has more re

GERMANY
Decided the Fate Of the Phi.
ippine Islands.
She WANTED Them
And She Would Have Seized
Them had we not
Taken Them.

Washington, Jan. 20.--A most in
teresting story has leaked out of the
recent executive session of the senate
in which Senator Davis, member of
the Paris Peace commission, made a
speech telling why the United States
took the Philippines from Spain:
A II the time that the negotiations
at Paris were proceeding, and it was
a matter of doubt whether the United
States would take the burden of re-
spensibity for good order and peace in
the Philippines. there was reason to
believe thgt Germany stood ready,
upon the intimation of our intention
to abandon our territory there, to
make a dash and gain a footing at
Manila, and eventually upon such is
lands as were deemed desirable to ex-
tend German colonial policy.
This would have been more than
likely to have embroiled Europe in
war and the United States would have
had great difficulty in keeping out of
the fight at Manila, as it might have
started before our ships and troops
left.

RUM DID 1T.
A House at Richford Burned With
Its Drunken Owner.

Richford, VT, Jan. GA fire last
Thursday night destroyed the house
and contents of Murray X. Smith, one
mile south of East Richford, on the
mountain, and the owner perished in
the flames.
Smith was widower, aged IS, and
had housekeeper, Mary Ellen Meade,
who was at the barn doing the chores
when the fire broke out. She rushed
to the house and broke in window,
but the flames drove her back and she
could do nothing. The family kept
boarders four lumbermen, but all
were away and Smith was alone in
the house.
An investigation was made by First
Selectman Mills which developed the
fact that Smiths body was found in
the ruins. There was evidence that
he was drunk at the time of the fire,
and besides. being confirmed drunk
ard he was a morphine tiend. The
causes of the fire could not be ascer-
tanned but it is supposed that the
man overturned lamp. 1t appears
that the whole family has been on a
drunken spree since Christmas, the
liquor being procured at the Line
House at Glen Sutton p. g.
In the house were three loaded guns
and a small amount of dynamite, all
of which exploded. The house was
old and of small value, insured for
$500 in the Vermont Mutual. The
boarders, effects were burned with the
other contents of the hOnSe.
