COLE YOUNGER's SPEECH
Former Saltwater Prisoner Makes a Tall
Before Methodist Ministers Of


Although religious bodies have frequent
ly been edited by addresses from persons
that have shaken off some minor vices,
the Methodist Minister'S association Of
st. Paul 'broke the record" yesterday in
listening to an example Of reformation no
less distinguished than Cole Younger. The
famous retired bandit, smiling, blue eyed,
and mild of voice, as gentle as he is gen.
ial occupied pew at the Central Park
M. E. church. He was the guest of Rev.
G. A. Cressey, pastor Of the Newport
church.
Younger sat quiet, holding his trigger
finger on hymn book, until Mr.. Cressey
had read paper entitled What Is Man %
and the ministers had voted that "our
guest be permitted to address them.
The gist Of Younger's argument might
have been "The Man Strenuous"
ITO my mind" said he, "a man ought
to be man, whatever he's trying to do.
If he's in a Christian layout, he ought to
play his cards straight from the Salvation
deck. If there's any crooked work in the
deal 1t hurts the house just as much as /,
hurts him. It's up to him to spot a SHINE,
whenever he shows his head. A fair fielc
and no favors. That's the best any mar
ought to expect. If he can't take care OF
himself with his own weapon, he dom
deserve to be saved, and he won't be
| nohow."@ .y-

III Wh',h VIII Burn When Dry.
G. c.. Andrews, chief fire warden, who
has just returned from trip through the
northern forests, says conditions are I'M
usually favorable to big forest fires in the
pine woods this fall. The wet season, he
found, had wonderfully increased the fol-
iage and underbrush. After the frost the
if a. fire starts it will spread rapidly.
The chances OF a fire, the warden points
out, are greatly Increased by the wonder
full %development which Is now going on in
the northern part Of the state Settlers
are locating everywhere in the woods and
the popular method Of clearing claims is
to fire the trees, -.
The efficiency of the fire warden system,
he says, rests largely with the county
commissioners.
