money in farming. In farming, as in
other things, great deal depends up

500 pounds, and who does not travel
even on shopping excursions because
she cannot find hack with a door big
enough to let her in, has filed suit for
a divorce at Great Falls, Mont. against

sertion and nonsupport-
The interesting question has arisen
how the trial is to be held There is
said to be no vehicle in the city other
than the truck used for hauling safes
sufficiently strong to transport the
plaintiff to the court house, and even
after she has been taken there doubt
is expressed as to the possibility of her
being able to climb the stairs to the
court room on the second floor
1t is suggested that the court may
have to enact the role of Mahomet, as
recalled by the saying concerning the
prophet and the mountain. Mrs. Nc
Groaty, desrAte her magnificent proper
lions, is not ungraceful, and in fact Is
quite handsome. She is nearly = feet
inches tall, and has well formed fea-
lures.

This was produced for the first time in

weather, there was the largest house
they have had during their stay in the
city. and well they deserved it for the
company was seen perhaps to greater
advantage in this exquisite comedy than
in any other play in their repertoire
produced here. There is a general re-
gret expressed that this talented COM
pany had come to the end of their en-
gagement. and a commonly uttered
hope that there would be a return date
in the near future. The company as a
whole is certainly the most evenly bal
anced of any appearing in San Jose"

GOSPEL FOR YOUNG.
Rev. Charles n. Sheldon Says
Preach Too Much For Old.

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon believes that
the special mission of the Christian
church right now is to get in touch with
the young people of the country. In his
sermon upon Progress in Christianity
at the First Congregational church Sum-
day morning among other things he
said:
THE opportunity of the church Is to
bring the gospel to the young. We
ministers preach too much to the older
people. I think the best thing the
preachers all over the world could do
would be to preach for six months to
the Sunday schools. Whatever will in
terest the young folks is going to in
terest the older ones. The time has
gone by when the ministers can take
rank as orators or rhetorfcians. The
only department in which the minister
is privileged to excel his parishioners is
in his insight into Christian living. One
of the most helpful indications OF the
church in America is that during this
summer more street meetings are being
held than ever before.

Opinion here as to the growth and ef-
