Washington Mans Wife Spoiled His
Chances of Sinking Duty.
A young Westerner who nailed JOB
in one of the departments about a year
ago got into the habit from the jump oil
putting in a time slip pretty frequently,
explaining each time to the chief of his
division that his wife was very delicate
and that she had sent for him. Then
the young man would repair to his ia
vorite maison de lush and put in cou-
pie of extra hours of enjoyment or cross
the river on the electric ears to that
large shed where even money, and even
money only, is given against race
horses that are to / ut the track, or
otherwise toy with the blthesome
hours.
During the past summer the young
Westerner tore one hour off the daily
stunt every day, leaving the office at
o'clock, and put in II slip, Informing
the chief of his division that his invalid
wife was staying out in the country,
near Il small Virginia town, and that
if he didn't catch the 3:15 train he'd
have TO remain in Washington over
night
About 2:4o on last pay day splen-
did buxom woman, who would prob
ably have tipped the beam easily at 11o
pounds and whose cheeks were like wild
roses, walked into the office of this
chief of division and sweetly asked II
she could see her husband. She was
the young Westerners wife. The chief
told her that her husband was out at
lunch. She said she wouldn't wait, and
swept out regal, handsome, the very
model and picture of robust physical
health
Say" said the chief of division
who is malarious, dyspeptic and ema-
ciated-to the young Westerner when
the latter returned from his lunch.
''where did you say your wife spent last
summer?"
The young Westerner 1iamed the
place. not without wondering if any
thing had happened to put his chief
next"
''Well," said the chief, that must be
a rafting healthy place, ana planned II
| don't believe I'll move down there
with my family. Your wifcwas in here
a while ago."
"Talking about feeling like nickel's
winter" remarked the young Western
er afterward, in telling the story upon
himself lf.-Washlngton Post.

Dowie is Zion. He thought out the
plan years ago and has given his life
to the perfection of it. No man in Chi

say that a feudal system as strict as
that of the Middle Ages is alive in Chi

Pen Picture of DOwie.
| This is Dowie: He is 50 years old. His
beard and hair are white. He Is
strongly put together, and always looks
as IL in perfect health. His step is light,
his eyes clear, and his voice is as the
voice of dozen men. He is well edu-
Gated He has had the training of
| Congregational minister, and has been
a minister in that church. He has a
style of his own both in the pulpit and
| in l,i
| words. He Is unconventional in his
choice OF words, and just as unconven-
tional in his delivery. He calls names
| from his pulpit-sometimes ugly names
and he rides roughshod over the feel
| ings of his congregations. He abuses
he wheedles when he believes that is
the hest course His people love him
better than they love their homes and
their families, and many of them have
left both to follow him.
He has magnetism. He calls himself
''the fighter of the devil" He also
fights secret societies, the use of to-
baceo and alcohol the medical profes-
sion the press and the habit of eating
pork. He fights them all in his own
! way. When he is not busy with them
he is working with his faith-healing or
planning and carrying out his-business
enterprises.
He went TO a theological seminary In
Edinburgh, and then to Sydney, New
South Wales. 1t was in the seminary
where he was studying the principles
