STATE PRESS COMMENT.

The Churches Lectured- i
churches are supposed to stand for
the highest standard of public morali-
ty and good government. The churches
OF Sundance have done incalculable
good for the community and We believe
church-going people to continue in the
cause of morality. In our discussions
of the gambling evil we have not at
tempted to. intimidate any class of citi-
ems into joining in the crusade, nor
have We demanded that action be TAX
en- by the proper authorities. We have
endeavored to show in general that
gambling game is to a certain ex-
tent degrading t. those who practice
it. and particularly that the game of
draw power as carried on in Sundance
is an unlawful game and the most de-
moralizing vice with which the COM
munity has to contend. II is apparent
that in these efforts we have been reas-
onably successful. 1t appears to us
that the time is now opportune for the
churches to take up the work and win
honor and glory by pushing it to a
successful elimination. They have the
laws on their side and we believe the
sentiment Of the community would be
overwhelmingly in accord with the
movement. What will the churches
do?-Sundance Monitor.

A DISPENSATION.

At sunset in a little town in Queens
the place could boast of was surprised,
not to sag fiattered, to see a gentle
man, gold headed as to his cane. and
evidently rich and influential, to Judge
from his servant and luggage, aliSht
from the coach with all the appear
ance of one who was going to stay a
| week in the place. He was distinctly
an American, with a twinkling gray
eye, a long aquiline nose, a clean
shaven upper lip and a small goatee,
which he smoothed meditatively as he
stood like a long legged Colossus OF
Rhodes, in trousering Of a very broad
check pattern, surveying the pride OF
the p%roprietor's heart, namely, the no.
tel.
Il guess it's not unlike my stables
in Connecticut" he said presently, as
the proprietor came down to meet
him.
You must have fine stables, then"
was the reply, offered gently, in he
hope Of turning away not the great
man himself, but only his wrath.
1--WE have, sir; our stable yards are
considerable. And / say it in praise
of your shanty that it reminds me OF
my stables in Connecticut. | suppose
you can give us a loose box for a week,
maybe?"
The landlord recognized the free and
easy American with plenty of money
the kind of man who was never slow
to give offense because he was master
of the situation by reason OF the al
mighty dollar; he recognized the col
onel' and the general" the a who
travels as he lists the wide world over,
and gets ready respect and Difference

The landlord, already under the dis

Thurlton, became oily, almost greasy,

there was no troupe at the theater at
present, and that the only excitement
was the trial of a man who was sup
posed to be concerned in a daring
coach robbery committed some little
time before in the neighborhood.
All! That would be interesting"
said the stranger. Il should like to
see that. Stuck up the coach, did
he?"
We'll, they say he did. but he him
self swear that he is innocent, and
that he was in Brisbane at the time
the coach was stopped. II you would
care to hear the trial, sir, l can get
you a seat easily"
IL guess I'll take you up" returned
the stranger, and it was agreed that
the proprietor should escort the great
man to the court house on the NOR
row, and by his influence secure him a
good seat, just to enable him to while
away the time until v%iscountS Thurlten
came along.
1t SO happened, however. that when
they arrived the body of the court was
full. SO that the distinguished looking
American was accommodated with a
seat on the bench, where he no only
had a good view Of the proceedings.
