woman whose name is given as Mrs. A.
D. Bowen, and who started to Washington
from New York several days ago on a
business mission, is expected to reach the
city this afternoon or early next week. She
remained several days in Philadelphia,
where she sold papers a means of max
ing expenses. When she had earned money
enough to pay her care fare to Baltimore
she went to the latter city, reaching there
Monday. The woman attracted attention
on the streets Of the Monumental city,
where she also sold newspapers, occupying
various street corners while thus engaged.
Selling newspapers is, of course, my last
said to a reporter, land I would a great
deal rather earn the funds needed in an
other way, but there is feeling of satis-
faction about being proprietress Of your
own establishment that makes up for the
loss of comforts you might have while
working for somebody else on salary
Seventeen years ago, Mrs. Bowen stated,
she was married, but was several times
separated from her husband Her domes-
tic troubles became such a burden, she
said, that she concluded to come here hop
Ing to get legal redress that the courts of
New York had failed to give her. She did
not intend to tramp here from the metrop-
oils, and being unable to earn money in any
other way, she adpoted the business of a
news vender. At last accounts her profits

waiting the muzzle it will carry about 1000
yards, and its initial velocity is about
100 feet. That of the Mauser is 200
feet, being 200 more than even the Krag,
while it is sighted up to 1900 yards, and
will drive its bullet twice that distance
with an elevated muzzle. The Mauser
has a caliber of 27.3, but little more than
half that Of the Springfield, and there
fore almost twice as much ammunition
can be carried for it at the same weight.
The Krag is caliber so, its bullet being
about the diameter of lead-pencil, that
of the Mauser being little smaller. The
Mauser is a magazine rifle. By this is
meant that back Of the firing chamber
there is a magazine holding FIVE bullets,
and that the working of a bolt will load
these bullets into the chamber one at a
time as needed. The Krag is also a mag
azine rife, Of different pattern, however.
1t can be used to load and fire by hand
one at time, like the Springfield, leaving
the magazine full for an emergency, while
the Mauser cannot. The matter Of a
magazine, however, is not so important
in common use, as it is simply q reserve
for rapid fire to check q charge or demora-
lie a routed enemy. Careful and accu-
rate shooting at individuals is the secret
Of modern success in battle, and for this
purpose no magazine is necessary.
The advantages of the Mauser over the
Springfield for actual service in the Phil
ippines were its longer range, its greater

| Comrade l. w. Hitchcock, real estate
dealer and justice of the peace at Pea
body, Kan, sends $40 for our bargain and

Comrade Charles Banks, Topeka, Kan,
makes a deal and sends 1924 guesses.

Comrade VIM. T. Brewer, Quincy, Ill,
makes a $40 deal and sends his guesses
for the Sept Is contest. He writes: II

live and to be a guesser as long as you
continue the contests. / cannot conceive
of any contest that could be fairer. Any
one can get from the columns of the pa
per all the knowledge to qualify him for
making guesses. No special qualifications
are required All have an equal chance"
Comrade A. W. Browning, of Littleton,
Colo, a loser, writes: "God bless the
old Tribune. If never get prize 1
know l have had 10 times the cost in in
struction and entertainment by my p
years of reading the dear old paper"
Mrs. Ida B. Sare, of Odon. Ind, got up
club promptly and sends $40 and guesses
for the present contest. She adds: "Tell
the comrades they will have to look out
These guesses We're made by farmers
daughters who are not afraid of cattle.
Odon was not successful in the last con-
test, but we are all satisfied that every
thing was fair Glad Miss Miller got her

that a war was coming. Yet no real

Crown deHeIs ara Paste.

Royalty sometimes does things that look
most plebeian. Queen Alexandra's crown
wasn't paste, mt its sparklers were bOr-
rowed-for a consideration, presumably.
The wonderful gems which dazzled the
eyes of the Coronation guests when the
crown was placed on the head of Eng
lands Queen were collected for the show
by famous London jewelers., and now
these precious rubies and diamonds, sap
phires and pearls are to be taken out Of
the crown and sold The paste gems that
will replace them will be just as pretty
and not as tempting to the possible thief
who might steul them from the Tower,
where the crown will be deposited till
needed again by another Queen.

greatest spiritual guide book. or without
lessening the influence of the great Author
and Master of our Christian religion-Jesus
Christ
It is probably true that the church Of to-
day is controlled by prosperity, and has
small place for the submerged tenth and
neglects the "other half" but then even this
bad phase of its Christianity is not beyond
cure. The preacher for revenue only
will gradually be eliminated. The church
will one day wake up to the fact of the
brotherhood of all mankind and not of the
favored few only, and will see that the
wisest as we'll as the most effective of all
maxims is, blessed are the inclusive, for
they shall be included" Suppose We shut
up or tear down these imperfect churches
of ours-what will be the substitute, and
will the community and the world gain by
the substitution?
This book will repay anybody's reading.
While 1t does not cover all the ground and
is written as a clergyman would write, still
it is a remarkable and worthy contribution
to the great question so much under debate
to-day-what shall we do with our
churches? Are they dying out?

firmly believes in. and the problem of evil.
But it is by no means all plain sailing. The
author goes so deep that he stirs up a good
deal of mud that lies at the bottom of all
such questions, beyond the reaches of our
SOULS" How is reincarnation practically
accomplished? At what point does the good
dog become the rudimentary good man?
And how does the bad citizen get incar-
mated into and become the bad dog? If
matter and life, good and evil. as Mr..
Smith teaches, are eternal, what use have
we for any God? Is not He a fifth wheel
to the wagon? Does death end personality?
If it does, what need Of any future life?
If Ii does not, how does the personality
which has successfully passed the ordeal of
death occupy eternity? And IL 1t comes
back to be ground over, where, il ever, does
the grind end? 1t Is not likely that Mr..
Smith or any other man will ever satisfac-
torily answer these questions. They are
the mystery of the ages. AS the mighty
Goethe once put it in the Faust"
Believe me-,
Who has chewed this bitter end
From year to year?
No mortal, from the cradle to the bier,
Dissolves that ancient leaven.
