UnCharity.

ness; and to brotherly kindness,
charity.-II. Peter i, Z.
There is one form of vice which
is to me especially offensive and
repellant, namely, habitual I'm.
charity in the judgment Of others
1t is twice cursed, for it curseth |
him who gratifies his morbid ap- |
petite and him who is unconscious
ly the victim of it.
1t is always safe to be generous
in criticism, and seldom safe to
be severe. If the Christ's rule,
the measure you mete, it shall be
measured to you again." should
be literally enforced many a man
and woman would be wrecked by
the consequences. If it is always
possible to say something kind it
is well to be in the frame of mind
to do it. The middle course is to
be silent unless there is a good
word to say, and the heroic course
is to rebuke the harsh and unnec-
essary criticism.
Many a life has been seriously
wounded, many a heart we'll nigh
broken and many life overshad-
owed by thoughtless talk which
perhaps had no foundation in fact,
or was based on facts misunder-
stood. It is so much better to be
sweet than sour. Life contains
so many disagreeable things that
if we can avoid coming into con-
tact with any of Them we do our
selves a distinct benefit. A smile
helps the world more than a frown,
and the good nature which ig-
nores the unpleasant and dwells
only on the agreeable is Chris
tan virtue which is as charming
as it is rare.
The clear injunction of religion
is to find the good in our neigh
bors and not to magnify their
failings. We may laugh at their
| follies or look with scorn on their
weaknesses, but who knows what
we ourselves would do under like
, circumstances? We are not sc
strong that we can thank God, as
. the poor Pharisee did, that we are
not like other men. If we are
> really strong the best way to show
s. our strength is to help those who
, have fallen by the way rather
than spread the news of theil
failure, as though we stood on {
higher and safer level. True re-
B ligion, the only kind worth hav'
i ing, not only prays that ''from al
uncharitableness, good Lord, de-
: liver u.s." but co-operates will
}, the Lord in the accomplishment o
: the task.
n You deceive yourself if yo'
think you are religious and sti]

rather be poor Abou Ben, VIII
had no christianity, but wanted
to be classed as one "who love

SMALL DOGS. GOOD WORK
A PORCH Climber Frightened Away
by a Small Dog With :
T. -. Large Bark. 80.

, Porch climbers added several more vic
TINS to their long, list last evening. "A
small, black dog belonging to w. L. Har-
ris of the New England Furniture and
Carpet, company who lives next door,
frightened off a. "prowler who tried to
break into the residence, Of G. II. Ross,
1000 Kenwood parkway. -
THAT dog worth all the police force
Of Minneapolis for protecting property
said Mr.. Ross. II said mean things about
him when he parked last night, but I'm
going to beg his pardon this evening". :.
Mrs H. Simmons of st. Paul was oc-
cupying a room on the second floor just
above the driveway arch when the was
aroused by the ledt barking As she
looked out she heard a ttud on the $paNe-

ran swiftly down the driveway and dis
appeared with the dog at his heels.fS
The residence of c.. G.sGoodrfch, vice
president Of the Twin City Rapid Transit

BODY FOUND IN RIVER
Circumstances Indicate That Mrs.
7. F. Burns Of Sioux City
Committed Suicide.

Sioux City, Iowa. Oct. 1o.-The body Of
Mrs. T. F. Burns came to the surface Of
the Big Sioux river last night about a
mile north of the place where her empty
boat was found last Saturday morning.
The body was discovered at 1850 this
m morning by Frank Colurnsee, a workman,
who was crossing the river: $50 r..
=, All Of Mrs. Burns $1,000 worth of jewel
ry is on her body, thus refuting the muir
der theory. The jacket is on" her body
and gloves on her hands, This tends to
controvert the whole theory by which ac-
cidental drowning could be explained, that
she fell out Of the boat while putting on
her jacket. AS the jacket is buttoned on
her. body, this could not be true.
The oars in the boat when found were
shipped and the cushions undisturbed.
The only way in which this can be ex-
planned Is that she committed suicide.
Earl Lacque, aged 8 years, yesterday
wrote a letter to Mr.. Burns, agreeing to
tell him where Mrs. Burns was If he
would leave 800 on a mail box The
would-be Pat Grove is now in Jail,
charged with attempting to extort money.

NO GRAVE.R0BBING HERE
Supt. A. w. Hobert Of Lakewood
Cemetery Says It Could Not
-, Escape Detection.

A. w. Hobert, superintendent of Lake.
wood cemetery, is not greatly disturbed
over the sensational report in a morning
paper that the rghoulish traffic of body
s1atching is going on without restraint
in Minnea polls. Mr.. Hobert says he would
be inclined to laugh at such ridiculous
sensationalism but for; it's effect on the
public mind and the grave anxiety felt
by those whose deceased friends have
been buried in the cemetery.
Mr.: Hobert therefore feels called upon
to relieve the anxiety of the people OF
Minneapolis. He makes the plain state
ment that no graves have been robbed,
and that there has not been a single ease
of body snatching in the history of the
cemetery. -. -. .:
LAS a matter of fact said MIR. Ho-
bert, ut would be impossible for grave
robbers to ply their trade in Lakewood
cemetery and escape detection. In re-
filling a grave after an interment we aim
to make the ground look exactly as it did
before the excavation was made. All Of
the earth removed is placed on a strip Of
canvas so as to prevent any disturbance
about the grave. After the grave has
been refilled on level with the surface,
the sod in the immediate vicinity is swept
clean with rattan broom so as to re-
move the slightest trace of a disturbance.
AS a result, when the sod is replaced. it
is difficult to find the grave unless it has
terment one Of our attendants visits an in
terment one of our attendants visits the
grave to see that all is we'll. 1t would be
impossible for anyone to desecrate a
grave in Lakewood without our discover
ing it, So natural does the sod appear
that friends of the late Mrs. c. A. Pills.
bury who were present at the interment
were unable to locate her grave without
our assistance, when they came to the
cemetery the day following the funeral"
Mr. Hobert also explained that there
could be no possible inducement for grave
robbing in Minneapolis, because the state
law is so framed as to provide every dis
secting room with all the cadaVers need
ed The law provides that every pauper
or unclaimed body shall after a reasonable
time be turned over to physicians or COL

NUMBER So


Minnesota winters are not what they
used to be. Forty below zero weather
seems to have become a rarity and unless
one Is compelled to travel for ones health
one can find no pIeasanter winter weather
anywhere than In Minnesota. We are
happily spared the mud and slush and
damp, foggy weather that affIct those
who live farther south. Instead, we have
bright sunshlny days and breathe brac-
Ing air made glorious by plenty Of ozone.
Still, it Is pleasant to have for a winter
home a cozy flat. After the happy flat
dweIIer has finished a good dinner and Is
seated In an easy chair with good cigar
to smoke and the newsy Journal to read,
he Is not harassed with the thought that
before going to bed there is the unpleas-
ant duty Of going down cellar to fix the
furnace, or that on getting up In the
morning a similar dsagreeabe expedition
must be made, or that mayhap there Is
snow to be cleared from the sidewalk.
Flat jewellers enjoy their Journals better
than most people. Here are two diagrams
that are interesting In this connection.

THANKS TO MIR. TRUESDALE
Coal From His System Not Sold at
Famine Prices,

Minneapolis has to thank a former resi-
dent, w. H. Truesdale, president of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail-
road, for fair treatment in these times of
anthracite shortage. A few days ago the
Northwestern Fuel company received at
Duluth a cargo of 1900 tons Of anthracite
which was distributed in limited quanti
ties among consumers in Minneapolis, ST.
Paul and Duluth. In spite of the fact that
hard coal was bringing from SIG to S2O
a ton in the east this cargo was retailed
at the regular card price for this time
of the year. This was directly due to
the orders Of President Truesdale, for
the Northwestern. Fuel company is the
agency through which coal from the
Lackawanna system is distributed in this
territory. - .'.-..E = E..
: It is understood that it will be the policy
of the Lackawanna to move out all its
available coal as rapidly as possible SO
long as it lasts and that no advantage
will be taken of the fuel famine to charge
fancy figures. The northwest is soon to
receive another cargo which will be dis
,tributed as was its predecessor.

BRACKET IN MANILA
Letter Bearing Manila Date Received
From the Detective by Friends
Here

IF the Minneapolis authorities want
Charles r. Bracket, the fugitive detec-
tive, they needn't look much farther than
the city Of Manila p. L. said an ac-
equaintance of the Bracket family this
morning. He added that he knew from
close friends of the Bracket family who
live near Chicago avenue and Thirty-fifth
street, that a letter bearing Manila date
line had recently been received from the
detective. Bracket was in the Philip
pines with the Thirteenth Minnesota. His
acquaintances here, especially his former
comrades, believe that he would keep out
side Of Manila most of the time for fear of
detection.
