felt there was more balm and greater
balm in Gilead than they had yet
been permitted to apply.
He outlined the beliefs in which
the scientists and the older churches
were fully in accord with each other,
God the father being the fountain
head of one as well as the other. The
scientists did not come proclaiming
a new God, nor a new bible, but they
simply accorded the Creator more
power than did the older faiths. He
then went into minute detail concern

scientists, all of which was very in

Good Audience Listens to Judge Ew

Notwithstanding the oppressive
heat of last evening the opera house
was well filed with an intelligent
class Of people, who were there for
the purpose of listening to a lecture
on Christian Science by Judge w.
G.. Ewing of Chicago.
Judge Ewing is an elderly gentle
man, and for more than 80 years has
been a leading attorney of the Illi-
nois bar. He proved to be a most
interesting and entertaining talker on
the subject of Christian Science. His
preface was in the nature of pointing
out the vagaries of our forefathers
in their beliefs and practices, not only
along religious but economical lines,
illustrating, thereby, the advancement
Of thought within the last third OF
a century. In introducing the sub.
ject Of Christian Science he said he

WAS GENERAL COOKIES JOKE.
He Paid the Bill and Therefore Had a
Right to Laugh.

ITO most people the late General
George Cooke, the Indian figher, was
a solemn man but he loved a practi-
cal joke" said Colonel "Joe" Her to a
New York Tribune man. Back in the
'70's, soon after he was made a brig
adler general and stationed at Omaha,
General Cooke organized a wildcat
hunting party among a lot of u.s., and
ont moonlight night we started across
the prairie from Omaha to the fort
The plan was to sleep at the fort and
at daybreak start for the wildcats.
After we were all fast asleep General
Crook came down stairs without any
shoes on and took from our rifles the
ball cartridges, replacing them with
blanks. On the way to the woods the
general indicated the order in which
he wished us to fire on the first wild
cat in case we should tree the beast.
We had hardly reached the woods be-
fore General Cook arose in his sad
die and said:
"'By thunder, boys, here's a cat
right in the crotch of that fir! Drop
off your wagon and bag him!'
Eve were OF the ground in a twink
lings, and in less time than it takes to
tell it we were blazing away at a mon
strous big wildcat which was hugging

stirred as the successive shots were
fired and the hunters looked at one
another with open-mouthed astonish-
ment. We looked around for General
Cook and found him behind a stump
laughing away to beat the band. At
once it flashed on us that we had been
hoaxed. The general had just straight
eped up and vas beginning to explain
the joke when the driver, a hired nan
at the fort, pulled from under a blan-
ket in the wagon a double-barreled
shotgun, loaded with buckshot. The
general didn't see him fire, but he
turned around just in time to see tufts
of hair and fur fly from the wildcat
as it dropped from the tree
"Of went the general in another
fit of laughter But by this time the
laugh was on himself, for the hired
man had poured both charges of buck
shot into a beautiful stuffed wildcat,
completely running it. and the general
subsequently paid the saloon keeper
from whom he had borrowed it about
SIS All that Cook said was:
Boys, it was worth a hundred dol
lars apiece to see five good marksmen
miss a wildcat in broad daylight at
thirty paces.'"
