He had administered the last rites of

unconscious, and during the latter
rible.
or course, he said, the victim was not
responsible under the circumstances,
bue he was responsible for having con-
tracted the habit, and 1t went with him
to the grave.
In commenting on the presence of so
many men at the service, he said 1t was
gratifying to behold so many men OF
different walks in life pledged to pro-
tect the name of Jesus from blasphemy,
and impressed them with the thought
that 1t is the only name whereby we
can be saved.
"If you are consistent" he said, you
must preserve, protect, honor, and
glorify the sacred name OF Jesus. If
you wish to be damned, then continue
to blaspheme. The men of the Holy
Name society can set an excellent eX-
ample for all to follow. Their pledge is
u powerful incentive for others to fol-
low, and if others do not join, they can
at least prevent the demon of bias
phemy from gaining foothold in your
midst.
"You must be faithful to your trust,
but IL you are recreant. fear for your
safety. Be faithful and salvation will
be yours for all eternity"

Two Slick Chaps Tried to Bleed
Keepers of Disorderly Houses.

The police have received information
during the past week that two fellows
have been attempting to blackmail the
keepers of certain disorderly houses in

and had an interview with the proprl-
etress, in which he told her that he
represented the police authorities, who
We're going to have the house raided
the following night unless $40 was paid
over. The woman was told to send the
money to hotel, which was named,
and that if she did so all would go well.
The money was not sent, and the fol-
lowing night the man came back. ac-
companied by companion. They stated
that they had authority for the raiding
of the place and would proceed at once
to arrest everybody inside, if the $40
was not Immediately Forthcoming. The
proprietress became suspicious and rang
for a messenger boy, saying she would
send him up to city hall to see if the
deal was ION the square" The an
nouncement that a messenger boy had
been sent for caused the pair of black
mailers to suddenly remember that they
had business elsewhere, and they beat
hasty retreat.

Rev. Father Pagan, of Great Bend
delivered very impressive sermon at
st. Patrick's Catholic church last even
ing to the members of st. Patricks
Holy Name society, and many others
who were in attendance at the services.
The object of the society is to pre-
vent and discourage in every way pos
sibe the taking of the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ in vain. and the use
of vulgar and obscene talk in general,
and along this line Father Pagan spoke
with much feeling and impressiveness.
Among other things, he said:
I'm your society do not forget to i'm
press the mercy of Jesus on your men,
bers. TO the disciples He said, Thy
sins are forgiven, go and sin no more
and he sends the same message to those
who believe and trust in him today.
THE name of Jesus, the founder of
religion, was destined by God to save
souls. and His name should be greeted
everywhere with reverence and respect.
You always address your friends in
everyday life with respect, but this can
not be said to be true in addressing
Christ, whose name is so often taken in
vain.
when you swear YOU take the name
of Jesus in vain, but l ask you III you
ever call on Him to witness your other
deeds. His name should always be
treated with veneraton and respect.
But how often do you find that it is
almost impossible to leave your home
without listening to blasphemy?
God pity the blasphemer. Those who
cannot regale their children with any
thing better than blasphemy are to be
pitied. If there is one more sin more
despicable than blasphemy, l do not
know what it is. 1t is a vulgar habit.
and if you indulge in it you cannot eX
pect to enjoy the respect and esteem of
the Master"
AS an illustration of how the habit of
swearing grows on u person, the
speaker told of a young man who was
injured in a railroad wreck and had to
undergo the effects of ether in order
that an operation might be performed.
