WROTE"IN HIS STEPS"
AND GAVE REFORM MOVEMENT
A START.
Rev. Sheldon OF Topeka Is Ono of the
Most Original Preachers I'm tho Coun-
try-Beiieves In Less Preaching and
More Practice

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon of Topeka,
Kan, is probably the most original and
unique figure in the religious world To-
day. He first attracted attention by
his novel, in His Steps" When people
began 10 study him they found him re-
markedly interesting. He is man Of
marvellous resources and is simple and
direct in his manner of doing things.
He has applied these characteristics 81
simplicity and directness in his meth
DDS of conducting the Central Congre-
gational church OF Topeka. OF which
he is pastor. A radical departure of
DR.. Sheldon from accepted form is his
method Of conducting Sunday evening
service. Instead OF the conventional
sermon he has for long time given
readings from original religious novels.

truths and beauties OF the better life
In this way. These novels are pub
lished after the congregation has heard
them. and some OF them have had q
phenomenal sale.

Discovery Of Steao, as a Motive Power.

Ia 1915 mechanic. who for many
years puzzled and experimental on the
subject, brought TO the attention OF
Emperor Charles Fifth, Of Austria, an
Invention by means OF which ships
could be propelled by steam. The
monarch was greatly impressed and
wo,;ld no doubt have become the pat
ron of this great invention, but one OF
his prime ministers, evidently jealous
of the attention the inventor was re-
ceiving, SO worked upon the mind OF
the emperor that his interest In the
invention was quite destroyed. In 1641
a man was put into mad house be-
cause he persistenly followed some OF
the great men of his country about,
declaring that he had discovered q
new motive power that would reyola-
tionize the machinery of the age. Many
countries and people have claimed to
be the discoveries of steam as a motive
power, but these accounts, which are
we'll authenticated, seem to settle thu
question finally.

FRENCH HATE FOR ENGLAND,
The Bitter Feeling Bstween the
Countries Is Steadily Growing.

There Is no question about the Bit
ter feeling between France and England
is growing. says a writer. Whenever
the English meet setback in South
Africa the people in Paris are simply
wild with delight, and the comments
Of the French press are. to say the
least, unkind On the other hand. the
English papers refer to the French in
uncomplimentary and no uncertain
terms, and in parody of Rudyard Kip
ling's latest poem, they now speak OF
French journalists as THE Absent
Minded Beggars." The trouble with
the English, in measure, seems to
have been swollen pride on the part
of the cabinet, or, at least. portion of
it. who apparently looked on this war
as sort Of picnic which they could
take care of without trouble and with
out assistance. In pursuance or this
idea. they not only at first refused the
offers of colonial assistance. but let 1t
be known that they held the colonial
forces cheapiy. and not at oil as in the
same class with the regular Tommy
Atkinses" as fighting men. So far,
according 10 the accounts, the colonial
troops have done the better work. An
other useless thing that has been done
has been the frequent references to the
organization known as the Cape
Mounted Rifles" as non-combatant
force. Every one connected with the
c. NJ. r. Is mad clear through, and
Justly so. as the G. M. r. is to South
Africa much what the mounted police
is to Canada. aad To say that the latter
body is not a fighting force would be
10 betray lack Of knowledge OF their
history. Within our borders We have
had analogous organizations as has,
presume every country IN its begin
nings. Take the Texas Rangers. for
instance: that they fought and were
organized particularly with that pur-
pose in view, and as TO how they full
filled their mission. many a page in the
history of the Lone Star State bears
glorious witness.

The Cologne Gazette, in peSsimistic
article entitled French Scbeming," de-
Of the chamber OF deputies, is the com
ing man in France. The Gazette as
serts that N. Deschanel is following up
the idea of expeiling Germany from the
triple alliance and effecting an under
standing and dual alliance of England
and France. 1t is alleged that when
this has been accomplished every ef-
fort will be made to conquer Germany.
