Marshfeld News
Louis A. Liberty, whose home is in
StetSOnville, has been spending great
deal of time in this city of late and
fell SO deeply in love with a young
woman named Amelia Roerbach that
when she gave him the usual heart
rending tale about all being over
between them, he cut his SuSpenderS

This fierce document was intruSted
to John KrauS, the jeweler, for safe
keeping and fearing that the smitten
man might carry out his threat Mr..
Kraus turned the confession over to
Officer Griffin who placed it's author in
the city Jail. No complaint was made
against the young man and he soon
cooled down and after short visit
with the lady who had kindled the
mighty flame in his susceptible breast,
he promised to curb his desperate
passion and was allowed to leave the
jail. The matter was easily fixed up
as the young lady preferred Liberty to
death.

Miracles of the class before spoken
Of, once help, are now hindrance.
Those churches which continue to
teach that such legends, errors or
allegorieS are literal truth, faint all
the rest of their message. People are
saying, and they will say more and
more. Il cannot believe these stories.
and l will have nothing TO do with
any church that-teacheS their literal
truth or calls the book that contains
them infallible. "
1t is the cowardIy refusal of the
churches to admit patent facts and
to advance with the advance of know
ledge that has brought about their
present deplorable condition and the
low moral state of the nation that
depends so largely upon them for
spiritual guidance and strength.
But it will be said that multitudes
of simple and ignorant people impli-
city believe the Bible legends.
Perhaps many of the ignorant do. but
certainly many of the ignorant do
not, and surely the opinions of the
ignorant are not to prevent the
declaration of truth by the better
informed. Truth must not be sur
rendered to bigotry.
But it will be further objected that
this is the infidel's view of miracles.
What then? Shall the prophets not

Z Last Sunday afternoon Grandma
Brumley lr.et with All accident from
which her escape without serious re-
suits seems almost amiracle. She had,
with her daughter, Mrs. Mcconnell,
started to go to the latter's home in the
valley accompanied by other ladies.
just after crossing the irrigating canal
at the foot Of the grade below VIM.
Nays ranch, they met a load Of baled
hay and turned out on the lower side
to let it pass. The driver Of the hay
wagon got too high up on the grade
and turned the load over onto the
buggy, almost completely demolishing
1t. The others escaped, but one bale
struck Mrs. Brumley on the shoulder.

the wonder is that some bones were not
broken OF serious injury caused.

Feline Evolution.

Louis Vain, the authority on cats,
declares that the domestic cat has at
last reached a very interesting stage
of development. Mr.. Vain states that
the physical and nervous tissues OF
the cat having felt the confinement
of home life, the long period OF cruelty
practiced upon it having come to AN
end, and practically all wild sense and
the old instincts having been beaten
out. Of it, the cat of the present day is
left to construct a new life for itself
and to adapt itself to Its modern sur
roundings. 1t begins the new career
mentally weak, but loving care and at
tent IN will strengthen its brain, and
in the future we may look forward to
creatures grandly and beautifully made
of great size and intelligence. THE
cat" says Mr.. Vain. will then have
had given to 1t a power which man has
not conceived possible-the power to
to produce Its remarkable qualities
among the wild animals of it's own
kind and through them gradually into
| the savage animals. Thus will begin
the conquest and reclaiming OF the
whole brute creation from the natural
savagery Of nature to the most benign
dominion Of NAM Chicago News.
