FAMOUS WESTERN PREACHER

Rev. DIR. Thomas Is Power in the
Christian Ministry of Chicago.
One of the most famous preachers in
the West is Rev. DR.. H. w. Thomas.
of Chicago, pastor of the Peoples
Church. More than twerty-one years
ago DR.. Thomas was deposed as a
preacher of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. His views were first criti-
cised as being unorthodox, and at the
Rock River conference he was asked to
withdraw from the church. which he
refused to do. His trial for heresy was
ordered, based upon three counts. The
first was unbelief in the inspiration of
the Bible; the second was of heterodox
teachings as to the doctrine of atone
ment; and the third was as to the end
less punishment Of lost souls. He was
condemned on the last two counts, but
the vote was close.
With the church closed to him DR..
Thomas was not without a strong fol-
lowing, and his next sermon was
preached to these from the stage of
Hooley's Theater. This was the begin
ming of the Peoples Church. which now
fills McVicker's Theater every Sunday
morning, and whose influences have

been widening for more than a score of
years. DR.. Thomas is in his SEVENTEEN
year. He to-day is one of the most lib
eral of Christian teachers. He is reach
ing out for men, irrespective of creed
He often says: ''When l first began to
preach we preachers were fighting each
other so hard we had no strength left
with which to fight the devil"
In the pulpit DR.. Thomas is a striking
figure. His speech is slow and meas
ured. He has no tricks of oratory, no
gesticulations, nothing theatrical. Only
as he warns to his subject his speech
quickenS and his voice rises in his earn
estness. His sermons are clear, lucid,
and finished, and when one has gone
out from his church he finds that he

THE approaching end of rag time

Harvey went to party given by color

While he was there two darkies, who
were experts on the banjo, began play

While they were playing Harvey no.

two banjos was peculiar, but very
catchy. So after a while, when called
upon to play something, Harvey ran
his fingers carelessly over the keys of
the piano and tried to initiate the time
made by the two banjOs.
AT first he failed, but before the
night had passed he had acquired the
time and kept the crowd entertained
with snatches from popular songs play
ed in this fashion. One of the daTkies
who had performed on the banjo be-
came suddenly interested in Harney's
playing. Approaching Halley he in

But as it is l can't think of any name

it go at that
"The darkey sized Harvey from head

and fitted him WELL The negro
thought the argument a poor one and
said:

'About a week later there was an

ney was present and had to play. The
two banjo players were also there and
they thumped away together, playing
all sorts of tunes. The same darkey

How They Met.

Bennett Burleigh, the English war
correspondent, is authority for the fol-
lowing strange story: One day last
autumn two officers, newly arrived
from different parts of up-country, met
at Cape Town. Rather lonely and a
good deal bored, they scraped acquaint-
ance and found one another agreeable.
When the dinner-hOur came they agreed
to dine together.
The keen edge of appetites having
been taken off by a good dinner, the
senior officer became a trife more ex4
pansive.

THE oMNIGRAPH.
An Instrument Which Simplifies In

An instrument which is designed to
simplify instruction in telegraphy, and
to impart in comparatively short
time a complete knowledge of the
Morse alphabet, has recently been in

city. Patents have been applied for
The Omnigraph, as the instrument is
called, consists of a Dashboard on

teeth. A spring contact adjacent to
the wheel engages the peripheral teeth
Of the disk. Although irregular. the
arrangement of the teeth is arbitrary.
For if the disk be rotated by means of
i small crank-shaft geared with the
1isk-shaft, the spring contact is forced
outwardly by the teeth, but drops back
by its own elasticity, and thus makes
and breaks the circuit The expert

these makes and breaks at the Sounder,

Slang.

Again there has arisen a discussion
as to the use of slang. There are times
when thoughts arise within the human
brain which are almost beyond the ut
terance Of the human tongue" BY the
aid of a slang term the maa who has
the gift of speech can get them out. For.
be it observed. there is slang and slang
and 1t may be used with artistry or
with mere stupidity. The special ex-
ample chosen by Oliver Wendell
Holmes for illustration in his disser~
tation on the expressiveness of slang
was the word bore" but this has
found a place In Webster. and must
surely be regarded as legitimate. How
could you express your objection to the
man who bOues you except by saying
that he bores you? There are hun
bred other words which are valuable
in such emergencies. and one can only
hope that. by process Of the survival

HOW TO SECURE HAPPINESS.
Author of Heavenly Twins" Expresses

To an audience assembled IN st.

quite recently addressed herself to the
alluring subject of mere man." dis
coursed upon the above theme, which
furnished her with not few opportuni-
ties for satirical but on the whole good
humored comment on human and so
cial follies and foibles.
Mrs. Grand is a fluent and volubIe
lecturer, whose rapidly expressed ut
terance would paralyze the efforts of
the most expert stenographer, but. in
the main, her monograph resolved it
self into an optimistic reply to Mr..
Mallock's time-worn conundrum, us
life worth livingT At the same time
her observation of things and people
does not always lead her into roseate
paths of criticism. Thus, on the sub
ieet of mems kindness-as distinct from
women's-she lays it down that 1T is
more often the expression of their own
satisfaction than the outcome of a de-
sire to please" On the other hand,
she concludes that men understand the
art Of happiness far better than wom-
en-.
There Is nothing new. or startling in
the proposition that there is Joy to
be found in congenial work. Just as in
ccngenial play" but Mrs. Grand's sly
remark that people derive solace from
the disagreeable business Of getting up
early on 4 cold morning from the irs
Of superiority they can assume for the
rest of the day IS not without humor.

declared, are easily attained. The
