APPLICATION OF RELIGION.

Religion is nothing Il it is not a
guide and inspiration to conduct. The
minister who enforces the truths of the
gospel, who applies them to modern
conditions and points oIthe path OF
duty and righteousness, breaches the
gospel" Mr. Carnegie's philanthropy
lynching, heresy trial, good govern
ment movement, an important piece OF
legislation, even a new novel, mayI be
the theme of sermon replete with the
spirit and teaching of the gospel.
There is no activity or relation in life
to which the gospel does not and was
not intended to apply. The preaching
which evades concrete, vital, trouble
some questions and limits itself to
vague general1ties, is as futile and in
effective as it is safe. That style of
preaching nowadays so often empties
the churches and drives the people
either to their libraries or the parks
where they take comfort with the great
Metropolitan Sunday newspapers.

THE STORM IN WALL STREET

Thursday was dizzy day in the New
York stock market. The extraordinary
height to which Northern Pacific in
clined and the decline of practically all
other securities made the day some
thing of record breaker. The mad
ness of speculation seems to be upon
the country For weeks the stock
market has shown extraordinary activ-
ity, and not since the last great panic
has such a high-water mark been
reached. The present situation can
not continue indefinitely. There must
come reaction While there is no i'm
mediate promise or prospect of a panic,
the great panics of the past have been
Immediately preceded by periods of
such speculation and extravaganza mar
kets as now prevail Conservatism
has been lost sight of = fact which
presages danger and provokes appre-
hension among the interested who
escape the fatal intoxication of the
speculative fever.

J.Pierpont Morgan, the noted railway
sovereign, may be considered modest
in some of his every day habits, but
when 1t comes to travelling, he is as
pompous as an emperor travelling in

fastidious taste, for it requires train
of five of the handsomest appointed
''privates" that ever rolled on wheels.
They are all well manned with an
ample force of porters and servants.
A short while prior to his trip to
Europe he took run over to Washing
ton, ID. c., when he had his entire train

accompanied by only seven or eight
friends. Though his party is small, yet

TO THE WIFE.

Here's to the ladies, God bless them!
How eager we are to caress them
Though creatures of sunshine and rain,
They carry mankind IN their train,
They bend to their will most strong,
And in silence they bury wrong,
While they drive away care with love
AS tender and pure as a dove.
Then fill up your glasses and let US all say,
In tones to awaken the echoes of day:
In all of Gods work there is nothing in life
So dear to a man as his own darling wife,

THEY PLAYED SOLDIER
One Boy Shoots Another in the
Leg While Playing With a

Guy Baker, Aged IS. the Victim
of a "Didn t-Know.It-Was

Wound Is Not Dangerous...Mis.

City.

While playing Soldier Thursday
afternoon, at $3.50 o'clock, Guy Baker,
aged Is, son of William C. Baker, mill
er, residing at sci North Third street.
was shot in the right leg by Charles
Bruce, aged is, son of Levi S. Bruce, a
carpenter, residing at 515 North Third.
The accident happened at the Bruce
home. Young Bruce had Colts re-
Ieating 22-caliber rifle, and Master
Baker had gone to the Bruce home to
spend the afternoon with his friend. One
OF the boys suggested playing soldier
and the rifle was brought out, taken
apart and emptied of all Its cartridges,
so they thought Baker acted as cap
tain and Bruce was the private. and was
being put thru the manual of arms. The
command fire was given and the pri-
vate fired, the ball taking effect in the
front of Bakers leg, barely missing the
tibia and fibula, and lodging in the calf
out OF which it had to be cut. The
wound is not all serious, but is painful
and will keep the young man indoors for
several days.

During the presidency of Messrs.

handsomely, and dividends were regu-

cent. Since 1891 no dividends whatever
have been declared upon the stock OF the
Chicago base ball club.
During the brotherhood fight the club
ran behind, and accumulated an indebt-
edness which required several of the fol-
lowing years to pay off. Since then the
books of the company show that the
club has done fairly profitable bust
ness, and has made from $4,000 to $780,
600 each year, which has been permitted
to accumulate in the club treasury.
This amount is now carried in the club

How to Choose wall Papers.

The wall paper has much to do with the
appearance Of room. It should be Sc
lccted with reference both to the size and
situation as well as the purpose Of the
apartment which It is to adorn. For
sunny rooms with much light An expert
in interior decoration advocates blue OF
green wall papers, light and delicate in
tone for drawing rooms and boudoirs,
rich and deep for dining rooms and Ii
braries.
For dark, gloomy room the sunshine
is literally carried In by rich yellow pa
per, and most dreary apartment has
been magicslly tranSfgured into an abso-
lutely golden room. with yellow satin
over curtains, yellow and white muslin
under ones, a golden brown carpet and
golden and white upholstery.
Some people hate yellow. They say it
is bilious looking. For these there Is a
wide range OF reds-4he seranium and in,
dian tones for dining room or library
and all the varying tints Of pink for a
boudoir.
Small rooms should not be covered with
wall paper OF a large design. Indeed, the
wall paper chosen should be OF a very
small pattern or quite plain. and the cur
tains, carpet, etc, look well ii Of the same
color, but a deeper shade than the paper.
This will not break up the lines OF the
wall.
