Pulpit Methods,

st. Paul declared thet he was "alI
things to all men," that by all meani
he might win some, and this modus
vivendi seems to have made a great
hit with certain modern preachers,
who are bound to attract attention, at
whatever cost.
For example, Rev. Vaughan s. Col
Inns, pastor OF Asbur Methodist
church at Smyrna, Del, recently star
tied his congregation by whistling
four times just as he arose to deliver
his sermon, the notes being an imi-
tation OF the song Of the common
meadow lark. Through some ingenu-
ity Of the imagination the Rev. Col
Inns interpreted these four notes to
represent four words, Thou, God,
seest me-" and from this text he
preached at length.
Not content with paid choirs, train
ed orchestras, vocal and instrumental
soloists and other means of temper
Ing the dim religious light" of the
sanctuary, expert whistlers have now
been introduced as a feature of church
services, and now we have the pastor
doing pucker in order to introduce
his text. Still, perhaps this is better
than song and dance.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

FEMALE REFORMERS.

Several dozen young women of FIRE.
mont, Nebraska, who are eligible to be-
come wives because of intellect, age
and comeliness, have formed Sweet
hearts trust" whose central purpose
is to reform the bad young men of that
neighborhood or render it impossible
for them to wed any of the girls of the
society. They have opened operations
by giving fair warning that certain
habits are to be boycotted, which in
clude gambling, drinking. swearing,
chewing tobacco. stealing, lying,
keeping late hours and excessive cigar
cite or pipe smoking.
Spying committees haveS been ap-
pointed, whose business it is to find
out which of the young bachelors are
guilty of any of the offenses bulletined
as under the ban. When this body is
convinced of steady infractions, the
girl with whom the guilty man has
been in the habit of associating, or, to
use the Nebraska vernacular, keeping
steady company" is to be instructed to
warn him that he must reform. Fail
ing to do this within a reasonable
time, he is to be blacklisted, and all
members of the trust are to be ordered
to in no way associate with him, and
to snub him in public places. Every
man is to be given a rating, just as
business men are rated by commercial
agencies, and Miss Elizabeth Mackeu-
zie, who is at the head of the organiza-
ton, says that bachelors who do not
come up to the trusts Ideas will be
left high and dry and severely alone
until they deport themselves in such
way as to meet the approval of the
young women. 1t is among the plans
of the trust to remove the ban upon
those blacklisted as soon as they dis
continue the prNctices that have made
them obnoxious.
Although this society has both a
serious and ludicrouS side, there is
no doubt that it has great possibilities.

If a girl is interested in a man, will

Will they mend their ways, or try tc

NO hUMBUG.

There is a report that the opponents
of the. high license ordinance have a
scheme to sidetrack the issue by pre-
tending to refer the question to the peo-
pie, to be decided by a popular vote.
This is but a mere ruse to effect delay
The mayor and city council are
charged by the people with the admin
istration of the government of the city.
The councilmen can not evade this ce-
sponsibility. If they are not prepared
to meet it fully, let them resign and
give the people chance to elect COM
petent agents in their stead.
There is only one way to dispose of
the high license problem fairly and
properly, and that is to vote on the
Buehman ordinance. Pass it or de-
feat it. The sooner this is done the
better. The intelligence of the town

ENTIRELY TOO CLEVER.
3xperience of a Doctor In Prescrib~
Ing For IA Patient.


An anonymous physician who has
written some confessions for the In
dependent tells this story about him
self:
II received request to call from
an old patient who was afraid she was
taking scarlet fever. l responded at
once The patient was one of two
elderly sisters whom l had attended
for many years. l greeted her in the
sitting room and noted her pulse while
in the act Of shaking hands with her.
BY some witty remark l contriyed to
make her laugh, which enabled me to
see her tongue. Then | said in a play
full tone: If you will get me q glass
| will treat you to some of my patent
soda water. She did so. put Il tab
let in the water and she drank it.
Il want you to know that | take
pride i'll my original methods. | try
to educate my patients to like, and not
to dread, the visits of the doctor. In
this case all of my work had been
done without the direct knowledge of
the patient and felt very good over it..
So | bade my patient gOOdby with eX-
treme cheerfulneSS.
"She looked surprised, and then said:
OF course you will come upstairs and
see my sister! Not today, said.
Give her my respects Why she
said, looking mystified and startled,
how strangely 3ou talk" Strangely? 2
l echoed. Why? Because | sent for
you to prescribe for my sister and you
decline to see her. 1t flashed over
my mind in an instant l had pre-
scribed for the wrong sister. | was
| entirely too clever"

EASTERN HRISTOCRRTS
QUARREL.

There is an old saying to the effect
that when rogues fall out, honest men
will stand a chance of getting what is
coming to them. Reasoning in like
manner, it might be said that when
fall out, the plain people are
given an opportunity to learn a few
things that, If not always valuable, are
apt to be at least entertaining. The
plutocrats of the sporting world in the
east have fallen out and just now are
hurting epithets at each other with un-
precedented ferceness and reckless
ness Our millionaire yachtsmen are
terrible when in rage. When ex-
perts in the art OF pnizefighting take

Quick Justice Mt Ascot.

Not only the horses, but the powers
of the law, says the London Chronicle,
are swift at Ascot, for the course has
special tribunal for the punishment
of evildoers. No sooner is the pick
pocket, welsher or ticket snatcher ar
rested than he is standing in a little
room in the royal stand, where the
evidence is heard and the verdict and
sentence pronounced before the Offend
er fully realizes that he is caught. No
where else does punishment so swiftly
follow crime as at this court, which is
decreed by clause 81 of the indictable
offenses act of 1913.
This race course tribunal arose Gu
riously in the eighteenth century from
an assault upon royal parsonage. In
his Indignation at the impossibility of
instant punishment of the aSSailant he
ordered that in future magistrate
should always attend the royal race
meeting. This has ever since been
done, and by the above mentioned act
the chief magistrate of Bow street was
constituted eX otficio a justice of the
peace of the county of Berks in order
to enable him to hold this court at

THE HUMAN STOMACH.
How 1t Is OverSvOrked by Three Big
Daily Meals.

How 1t Is Overworked by Three Big
Daily Meals.
1t requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself, when it falls
into a state of repOse; hence if man
eats three times day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out of twenty
four. After nights sleep we wake
up with a certain amount of bodily vig-
or which is faithfully portiOned out to
every muscle of the system and every
set of muscles, each its rightful share,
the stomach among others.
When the external body gets weary
after a long days work, the stomach
bears its share, of the fatigue, but if
when the body is weary with the days
toll we put it to bed giving the stom-
ach meanwhile five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives us one Of the largest
amounts of earthly enjoyment-and if
this overtaXing is continued it must as
certainly wear out prematurely as the
body itself will if it is overworked ev-
cry day.
And if persons eat between meals
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast i'll the morning until /, ,, )
or 4 o'clock next day; hence it is that
SO manHpersons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and SO con-
stantly that it becomes too weak to
work at all.

his feet. He never missed note. y
little boy who had been regarding him
with keen interest went up to him.
Suddenly the bow hung poised and
motionless. The little old man had
run down. The boy bought him for a
quarter, however. The vender showed
him how to start the fiddle up again,
and the two went off together, happy
and contented-Ne York Press.

BEEF TRUST OPERATIONS.

The action of the beef trust people
in filing demurrers in the government
injunction case, instead of answering,
was not unexpected. The demurrers
can not be acted on now, and this
course insures a considerable delay be-
fore any real progress in. the case is
made. This condition of affairs is due
to the fact that the judges of the
United States court at Chicago are
now enjoying their summer vacation,
and it would be impossible for the dis
trict attorney, or the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States even, to force
the packers to comply with the court
rules, in the absence of any court be-
fore which to make complaint.
Meanwhile it seems to be certain that
the packers are making a change of
position on account of the suit, proba-
bly, in the shape of a merger instead of
a mere combination. The principal
ones have been making heavy pur-
chases of other plants. 1t is reported
as certain that Armour has gained
control of the Hammond company, the
originator of dressed beef shipmen =.
and the first company to handle re-
frigerator cars. The purchase price
was said to be $5,000,000. 1t is also
understood that Armour has purchased
the Omaha Packing company. and, it is
said, paid 100000 for that concern.
Swift & Co. bought the Fowler & Son
Packing company of Kansas City and
the Anglo-American Provision COM
pany of Chicago The purchaser price
was put at total of $5,000,000. That
the Cudahy company and Nelson Nor
ris will enter the merger is an accepted
belief The new corporation will con-
troll the meat products of the United
States. The trade in beef, pork NUT
ton, cured meats, bacon and all by
products is in its hands.
But this gigantic merger, whose cap
italization is said to be fixed at ovel
100000, will not control meat
alone, but also the fruit, egg and butter
business of the country. The bulk o1
the Geld storage capacity is now in the
control of the packers. Armour con.
trolls cold storage room and cold stor-
age supplies in the west. By the pur
chase three years ago of the Earl Frui
company of California, the Armour
company took over a great fruit bust
ness and a hundred refrigerator cars
In ST. Joseph Kansas City and Omah;
Armour has cold storage houses, wher'
the western outputs Of eggs and sprint
chickens are kept. These supplies arr
purchased when prices are down, stored
until they advance and then ar'
dumped on the market.
The authorities of the State Of ILL
nois, where the headquarters of thu
packing trust are located, are promising
to make strong fight against the hug
merger and the live stock association
is also taking an active interest in the
matter, as is most natural, for If thi'
combination is perfected and main
tained, there will be an end to all com
petition in the sale of cattle and hog
by those who raise them. AS thu
matter stands now, the beef trust no
