1T WAS BILLS ROUND.
He Was an Awful Bragger hut He
Made Good When 1t Came to
n Pinch.

"Things don't allus come out as
you sort O. hope for" said the old
farmer, with a sorrowful shake of
his head, relates the Detroit Free
Press. "Ive got q son Bill who
thinks he is jest the smartest crit
ter in this hull state, and a few
weeks ago got tired of his brag-
GIN and thought I'd put a stop to
it. I come up town and hunted up
one of those prize fighters and told
him to come along by my place about
noon some day and give Bill some
sass. That would put springs under
Bills heels and start fight, and the
prize fighter was to knock him out
and let him know that he didn't own
the airth. l bargained with him for
SIS, and one day two weeks ago he
showed up. He looked like tramp
as he leaned over the gate and asked
Bill how he come to be bowlegged
"'Go ont! says Bill, who was wash
ing up for dinner.
"'And your feet toe in,' says the
tramp as he guffawed.
$50 on or I'll mash yel' yells Bill
as his hair begins to curl. ...
"'And you are knee-sprung and lop-
shouldered,' says the tramp as he
laughs like a mule brayin'.
"That was enough for Bill. He
throws me the towel and jumps for
that tramp, and next mint they was
squared off. I was lookin' to see
Bills heels fly in short order, but
durn my buttons if he didn't swing
for that feller's jaw and knock him
clear across the road and halfway
through the fence. 1t took us Is
minutes to bring him to, and then
we found that he had broken arm,
sprained ankle and a fractured
kneecap. We had to take him into
the house, and he's there yet and
will be for a week to come, and I've
got to pay his doctors bill and mebbe
SIS week for his lost time. 1t was
only yesterday that Bill says to me:
"'Dad, I'm the awfullest fighter in
seven states, and three John L. Sui
livans rolled together couldn't knock
me OUT but didn't say nothin' in
reply. I HAITI to hear him braggin'
around, but you can bet I amt goin'
to pay for any more soft marks to
come along and rouse him up and oc-
cupy my parlor for four or five weeks

Wiiie's Mother.

Dear old mother-in-law is in trouble
again. This time she appears in East
St. Louis. A worthy citizen of that
rich and populous suburb has sued
that legal relative for $4,000 damages
for the alienation of his wife's affec-
tions. He and his wife could agree
perfectly and get along nicely and be
happy, he AYERS, were it not for the
presence of her mother, who seems to
be kind of Mont Pelee, in her way,
belching forth fire and raising q great
smoke, thereby. causing CONSERVATION
in his household. If he can only sue
ceed in putting quietus on her erup-
lions, he believes he will have solved
the most perplexing Of his matrimonial
problems.
But suppose that wife's mother is
not possessed of $4,000, and that she
SIouiu Lbcl5l hpOu puO llb lt WulCu SIG
has in common with every other wo-
man OF having the last word-then
whatP Suppose that she should re-
fuse to stop talking at all, even in the
face of the courts commands-then
what?
The East St. Louis citizen has chosen
bad method OF getting rid OF his
troubles. No mother-in-law can be
ruled by coercion. She demands aud
must have kind treatment. Being
wise in her day and generation and
somewhat "sot" in her ways, she must
be handled automatically; not with a
blunderbuss. There is no finer woman
in the world than good mother-in-
law, unless it is the daughter she was
kind enough TO rear for the benefit of
some selfish man. The East St.
Louisian should try another tack. 49,

The Facts are Wanted.

The atrocities in the Philippines

The people demand the facts. The
facts are not to be detained through

Calyinism's Advance.

The unanimity with which the Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church adopted the report of the Re-
vision Committee augurs we'll for the
final adoption of the changes in the
statement of the Confession of Faith.
The absence of protracted debate on
the subject was not an evidence of a
blind determination to follow the lead
of men who had worked for so many
months on the task of preparation.
A spirit of reverence for the West
minister Confession is one of the char
acteristics of Presbyterianism. Yet
that spirit has not been discouraged
in the least by the discussion relative
TO changes in the presentation of the
doctrines therein expressed The re-
spect feft for the fathers who wrote
the Confession does not preclude the
necessity for a closer approach to
modern ideas in the statement of be-
lief.
Historically, the adoption of the Re-
vision Committees report marks an
epoch it Calviuism. That the work of
revision received its impetus in St.
Louis two years ago when the General
Assembly met here is matter of par
ticuar local pride. The discussion
which then took place foreshadowed
the acceptance OF the report made two
| years afterward.
Critics who seek to find retreat
from the fundamental principles of
doctrine in the new statement will be
disappointed. The creed's elemental
theses are unchanged except by a
wording which removes all doubt as to
The meaning. Workers in the church
have asked the removal of what
might be called stumbling blocks to
their affiliation with organization.
This response to a practical demand is
in accord with the progressive tenden-
cies in every church. If the church
is not to keep pace with modern
thought and religious expediency, its
mission cannot reach the fullness of
victory. That the Presby teriaps, per-
haps the most conservative of the Pro-
testant denominations, have taken the
initiative is as significant as it is
gratifying st, Louis Republic.

Foil Governor

Boscobel, Wis, Oct. 1O.-GoV.
LaFollette's plan to make several
impromptu addresses along the
line of the Kickapoo Valley and
Northern railway was frustrated
yesterday, the train crews refus-
ing to stop long enough at the
small stations for a speech.
Friends of the governor claim
that this was brought a bout
through the machination of Off
Gals of the roads. At Viola he
had just started to speak on the
platform when the bell rang for
starting. At Reedsburg, the
conductor shouted Call Aboard"
lust as Mr.. LaF'ollette started to
say something. Similar treat
ment was accorded him at La
Fargo.
1t is claimed that the excur-
sion train was in charge OF gen
eral manager Norman L. James.
Superintendent ROsenk ranz,
who gave orders that the Il sual
custom of stopping wherever
passengers asked should be
abandoned for the day.
The trains on this road, it is
said, have been known to stop a
half hour for an official to in
spect his farm near a station.
Knowing the customs of the
company, men in various small
towns had advertised the meet
ings, and several hundred peo-
pie gathered at each place.
Mr.. La Toilette, in referr-
ing to his treatment at Viola,
said:
''Now, my friends, because
the owners of this railroad
refuse to hold this train [
cannot make any extended
speech.
"However, I would suggest to
you that you read the speech
which I made in Milwaukee and
especially that portion of the
speech which pertains to the
taxation of the railroad compan-
les, and you may there find a sug-
gestion as to the reason why
some may desire that you
should not be informed of the
facts. +"
