Under the law a tax OF 10 cents per

Its use the finished product looks like

be considered that the oil Is used with the

the vital teachings of that church. If the
sentence passed on the Rev. Mr.. Richter
involves his dismissal from church mem
bership because he did not accept that
doctrine or policy few will dissent from
the view that he has been dealt with very
severely.
OF course church membership is a legal
right which no Individual can be deprived
of improperly. No doubt if the conduct
of this minister was not violative of
church doctrine or discipline, and
did not, according to church regu-
lation, necessarily involve the pun
ishment imposed on him, he will find
the remedy even through the civil courts
for any wrong that may have been done
him. The outcome of any action he may
take will be a matter of much public in

cation, the punishment Of such conduct in

Herr Wilhelm Hayes, the jolly fat clerk
at the Windsor hotel, has ordered a
printer to set up in heavy black type the
following:
He has the best ha-ha who works his
ha-ha at the finish"
The first day of April pulled in sight
early yesterday and several hours later
Herr Wilhelm Hayes discovered the new
arrival Wilhelm did rot forget the fact
once during the long. long day, but that
did not help any, for the trouble was all
over
Several days ago a guest of the
hotel While walking along Fifth street
saw a spark float through the boughs of
the Rice park trees. The spark meant a
fire, and without waiting The guest dash
ed for the Windsor entrance.
ooh, Mr.. Hayes" she gasped. sthe
Metropolitan hotel is on fire.
Before Herr Hayes could saw A word
the guest had disappeared but three or
four men in the lobby heard the report
ard with Herr Hayes started for the roof
OF the Windsor. On the way I'D HAYES
explained that the Windsor roof was a
real observation tower when it came to
watching downtown fires and he made
the men with him feel glad in the knowl
edge that they had been wise enough to
register at the Windsor
When the little party pushed ND throuab
the hole in the roof the fire was not IN
sight. Herr Hayes gave a look from the
several corners, but could not locate =
blaze and the party marched down The
stairs again.
In the office they discovered that a
chimney over on Washington street had
been trying to burn out.
Herr Hayes thought the fire Great
joke and for several days Wilhelm would
gallop into the cafe to tell the fair guest
that he had just learned that the Metroc
politan was burning down.
Herr Hayes wandered down TO tbe hotel
desk yesterday all ready to 30 in and
tease the fair guest. Before he had a
chance to head for the cafe ore of the
other clerks handed him a package
Herr Hayes saw the little bundle and
turned pale. Just the morning before he
had read of a hotel clerk picking nm a
small package and then they had buried
the hotel clerk. Herr Hayes knew that
the little bundle concealed a fourteen or
fifteen horse power bomb.
Never will l open that he stammerey
as he reached for the button labeled s'po-
Ice. Il am wise to these plays and I
don't die with my boots on
Before the little bundle exploded the
hotel detective dashed up from the base
ment and explained the trouble. Tha
hotel detective didn't want to. but he
was hired to protect the place and car
ried the bundle to the bar room. The
bartender furnished a pail of waite. and
the bundle was dropped into the wet
After a good long soak the detective
fished out the wet paper and while the
others backed up peeled off the wrapper.
A small box came in sight and then slow
ly and carefully the detective lifted the
cover of the box.
Then the detective started 70
for he reached in and pulled out bunch
of water soaked violets and a card read
ing:
ITO Mr. Hayes for his brave work in
discovering the fire at the Metropolitan
hotel
Herr Hayes insists that he knew it was
April Fools day all the time.
