WRITING THE SERMON.
Fstday Is the Minister'S Day Fol-
PerfOrIninE This Task

Fstdny Is the siinister's Day For
Performing This Task.
Probably few OF the good people who
listen with rapt attention to the ser
mon which is preached to them each
Sunday, says the Denver Post know
that for nearly 300 years Friday has
been the time honorcd day for the pas
tor to 20 into his study, write the SER
mon which is to furnish food for
thought to the congregation on the
following Sunday. In speaking Of this
custom clergyman says:
when Christianity was first promul-
gated. all preaching was done extern
porallcoGSly. Such Il thing as prepar-
ing sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
various subjects. then added a few
words Of good advice to their listeners
This practice is still continued in the
Roman Catholic church of the present
day, and l think that very limited
number Of the priests ever write q SER
mon. Not all ministers, however, adj
here to this rule by any means. When
Henry Ward Beecher was asked on
what day he prepared his sermon, he
replied, On Sunday morning, of
course.

The Worlds Largest Crab.

How would you like to have crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic Japanese
crab. measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world.
The specimen is type of the spider
crab. which inhabits the waters of the
group of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
of a half bushe measure, while it's
two great arms or "feelers" could cas-
lily encircle the figure Of a man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and if strung into one line they
would reach to the top Of a four story
apartment building. One Of the ex-
traordinary peculiarities of this crab
is the faculty of assuming disguise
by affixing pieces of seaweed and
sponges to the body.

are getting pretty tired of the inter-
ference of GU side people in the politics

in hopes that after the election the
people would be willing to go to work
for the interests of the town and county
in a business way and leave politics
alone for awhile; but Tom Carter and
his hirelings 1t appears, do not wish to
make that possible.

CRANE MAY SUCCEED LONG.
Massachusetts Governor May Take
the Navy Portfolio.

Massachusetts Governor May Take
the Navy Portfolio.
Washington, Jan. 2.-It Is stated on
the best Of authority that Charles H.
Allen is not to be secretary of the avy
Secretary Long is not to remain thru
out the administration, but has no in
tention Of leaving the cabinet at the
present. He Is to be succeeded by a
Massachusetts man, especially since
the treasury portfolio went to the west.
Secretary Long car not leave the cabi-
net at present, since his assistant,
Judge Darling, is not yet familiar with
the department routine.
The man who is slated to succeed
Secretary Long also desires delay.
That nan is w. Murray Crane. He
may thus serve out his term as COVER
nor of Massachusetts, while Long is
accomplishing what he desires. The
navy portfolio, moreover, does not pre-
sent the complication regarding the
bonding paper that affects the treasury
portfolio, and since it was neither con-
yenient mol hardly possible for Gov
Crane to retire from ownership
in the paper company, o. for the gov
eminent to get these special grades
elsewhere, especially during the pend
ency Of the existing contracts, that OBJ
stacle proved a serious one.
Such rigid secrecy has been enjoined
upon the principals to this agreement
that official disclaimers Of exact in
formation may be forthcoming and
with entire sincerity.

in order that a test of the operations OF
the plan may be speedily furnished.
The committee Will also frame some
legislation dealing with the Dawes com
mission The exact nature OF this Will
not be determined until after the com
mittees of both the senate and the
house have held a further conference
with Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary of the In
terror. The sentiment of a majority
of the members of the committee is in
favor of the dissolution of h Dawes
commission and the placing of Its work
In the hands of a bureau to be estab-
lshed in connection with the indian de-
partment. Mr.. Hitchcock has recon-
mended a different policy and, in defer
ence to his recommendations. no action
will be taken until the matter has been
fully discussed. Pending action by con-
gress the secretary will withhold his
decision on the request Of h Creek
council that the Dawes commission be
ignored in framing a supplemental
treaty between the Creeks n the
United States government.

Sherman, of New York, chairman Of the
house committee on indian affairs. has
recovered from his recent illness and
has called a meeting OF his committee
for Tuesday, January. Z. The committee
will be In daily session unit! it has dis
posed of a number Of measures that
have been the subject OF conference
during the recess. Work on the APP
preparation hill is we'll in hand and 1t
will be introduced early in the session.
All OF the members of the committee
are warm in their approval of the pro-
position OF Mr.. Jones, commissioner Of
Indian affairs, to speedily dissolve the
tribal relations OF the Indians and to
place the individual Indians on their
w resources, stopping their annuitIes
and relieving the government OF their
care. The committee will consider any
that may hasten this work.
Members are already preparing bills
which provide for carrying out the pol-
Icy with certain smaller tribes. 1t is
proposed to allot the lands Of these In
dams, turn over to them their share
of the money held by the government
in trust for the tribe and to place them
on the same standing with other citi-
zens.
This solution will greatly simply the
problem of government in the Indian
territory. as 1t will open lands for sale
and taxation, and make possible inter-
nal improvements that must now be
carried out only at the expense OF the
government with the approval of the
interior department. 1t Is proposed to
continue the Indian schools for a period
of ten or twenty years, but to extend
no further aid to or guardianship over
the Indians as rapidly as their tribal
relations are dissolved. 1T is stated
that there are half a dozen OF the small
Ter tribes that are ready forthis action
and In favor OF It. An effort Will be
made by the committee to have this
policy adopted In connection with these

Berlin, Jan. 2.-The New Years fes-

After the ceremony of mailing to their
stats the standards of several new

the diplomats. Later in the afternoon
the emperor returned the calls of the
ambassadors. Emperor Williams ap-
pearance on the streets was the occa-

The New Years reception is a func-

than an ambassador is invited. His
majesty was specially good-humored
and lively today. He conversed with
each of the eight ambassadors in their
own language, except in the cas- of the
Turkish ambassador, and ever to him
the emperor uttered a few happy
phrases in Turkish.
In his conversation with Ambassador
White the emperor referred to President

MICHIGAN WON EASILY.
Stanford Defeated at Football by Score
of 49 to O.

Of 40 to o..
Pasadena, CAL, Jan. BY the decis-
i've score of 40 to 0 the Michigan Univer-
sity foot ball team yesterday defeated
Stanford University. The score is quite
in proportion to the general superiority
of the eastern men at the game of foot
ball. 1t does not, however, tell the story
Of Stanford's desperate but futile efforts
against defeat. Michigan's superior
knowledge OF the game showed in every
play. At kicking, general team work,
running, tackling and bucking the line.
the Michigan men excelied. Perhaps the
strongest feature of their playing was
the phenomenal punting by Sweeney,
Michigan's right-end. In every exchange
of punts Stanford lost ground. which
she could not regain. In the first half
Stanford showed we'll for the first twen-
ty minutes, but by a series OF brilliant
plays that never failed to score a gain.
and by the most superb team work ever
shown on a foot ball field in California,
Michigan took the ball to Stanford's
three-yard line. Here the Californians
took a determined stand, withstood the
terrible battering OF their line until they
secured the ball on downs, and then be-
EL
gan a systematic and determined as
sault on Michigan's ~invulnerable line.
Stanford tried every trick known to
their men to advance, only to resort to
punting, and the consequence was loss
of ground.
Michigan's fullback, Snow. scored the
first touchdown and Shorts kicked goal.
The first half ended with the score:
Michigan. II; Stanford, 0.
The second half was an exhibition of
fast foot ball. Michigan hit Stanford's
line in the middle and they ven around
the ends. They advanced ten, fifteen
and twenty yards on a play, on fake
passes, fake kicks and every other
known device. In fact, SO fast and
fierce was their playing that Stanford
was bewildered and knew not how to
stop the encroachment on her goal.
Again and again Snow, for Michigan,
went over the line for touchdowns. and
Shorts kicked goal until f%orty-nine
points had been scored. For Michigan
the brightest star In her ranks was
Snow at fullback, tho he scarcely
eclipsed Sweeney and bernstein. Trae-
ger for Stanford played a brilliant game,
his tackling being one of the features.
Seven thousand people saw the game.
