Two mischisvous girls who are
members OF a church choir in a
country town, figured recently in a
laugIabIe incident, which is quite
good enough to bear repeating In
some way, known only TO themselves
they became possessed ofthe subject
of the minister's Sunday morning
sermon and thereupon set about
selecting songs in harmony with the
theme. On Sunday morning they
were on hand bright and early. To-
oking innocent enough to deceive a
brace Of Pinkerton detectives. One
of them seated herself at the organ
and played "Faint Yet Pursuing"
which was sung as a voluntary.
Then the minister arose, and consult
ing the list which had been given
him, called for number 395. The
choir sang almost Persuaded"
The minister arose and announced
the theme. "Courtship and Mar
riage," read the lesson, and called
the next song. The choir sang "Tri-
umph at Last, and the congregation
began to look amused. "After prayer
sing number POL" said the minis
ter, and in his petition asked that
the spirit of levity which possessed
some of his hearers might cease.
Then the choir sang Hasten, Lord,
the Glorious Day." and everybody
laughed. Even the minister had
difficulty in sitting a smile when
the choir struck up: Behold, the
Bridegroom Cometh," and the con-
gregation became positively hill
arious as the organ pealed out the
opening notes of "What Shall the
Harvest Be?" And throughout,
those wicked girls preserved their
expression of sanity innocence and
afterwards decided that it was the
''most peculiar and striking coinci-
dence" they ever heard of.-Beeville

sMooT A SOURCE OF TROUBLE.

The indications are that the Senate
will be presented with a formidable
protest against the admission of Mr.
Smoot to that body if he should be
elected senator from Utah, and the
probability is that he will be elected.
The religious bodies in different parts
of the country are already moving in
the matter, and by the time Congress
meets next December they will have
an agitation in progress that will cause
the staid and dignified senators a good
deal of uneasiness.
1t will be recalled that the prohibit
tionists were influential enough to
Why may not the religious denomina-
lions be strong enough to keep Mr..
Smoot out of the Senate, even though
legally elected? He is an apostle of
the Mormon Church, and II is claimed
that an oath taken by an apostle va
Gates any oath taken before United
States officials. Therefore Mr. Smoot
would consider that 1t was his duty
to do what his church wanted done
before doing what was for the interest
of the government.
1t is admitted of course that there
are still polygamous marriages in Utah,
and the point DIS made against Mr..
Smoot, that although he is not q
polygamist, he wfnks at polygamy, be-
cause, If the government of the Nor
mon Church were to refuse to record
polygamous marriages, the number OF
such marriages would rapidly decrease.
All the marriages are recorded by the
hierarchy, the polygamous as well as
those which are not. BY consenting to
have record made of the polygamous
marriages, it is claimed that Mr.. Smoot
winks at polygamy.
The fight against his admission to
the Senate promises to be a memorable
one. He will find it harder to get his
seat than he is finding it to get elected

A GROWING PROHIBITION SENTI-
MENT.

There is undoubtedly a steadily
growing sentiment throughout the
country against the sale of intoxicat-
ing beverages. Congressman realize
that this is so. The pressure on them
to prohibit the sale of intoxicants in
the Capitol building became so strong
that they had to yield to it, and alco-
holic drinks were abolished from the
Senate and House restaurants. 1t is
probable that soon there will be petit
tions asking that the bottle and den1i-
john be kept out of committee rooms.
Another way in which this pressure
against intoxicants is manifesting it
self in Congress is in bills asking that
the government cease to collect
license tax from distillers in localities
in which the sale of alcoholic bever-
ages is prohibited. 1t is said that sew
eral such bills have been introduced
at the present session of Congress. 1t
seems that there are distilleries in pro-
hibition counties. OF course, they are
operated in defiance of the state law,
but they pay a license to the govern
AlChl llltn nave ally IAOuOAC
with the federal authorities. The
government does not stop to ask
whether or not such distilleries are OPP
Grated in accordance with the laws of
the state in which they are located. 1t
has nothing to do with that And it
does not concern itself with the moral
phase of the liquor question. It's duty
is wholly fiscal. When it collects the
tax the law calls for. it considers its
duty done.
And it is to make the government
favor the prohibition laws that these
bills. prohibiting the collecting of a
license tax from distilleries in prohibit
ton counties, have been introduced.
No doubt they will be the subject of
considerable debate. And it is a ques-
ton whether the cause of temperance
would be advanced by the passage of
the bills. 1t is the duty of the state
authorities to close up distilleries that
are being operated contrary to the
law. The action of the government in
collecting taxes from them docs not
lessen the ability of the state to en-
force the law against them. AS a mat
ter Of fact. the collecting Of the tax
ought TO be a distinct aid to the state,
because the government keeps an army
of spies employed to hunt out moon
sinners. When they are discovered
the state is free to set the law in mo-
tion against them.

months ending with December last.
and 126 robberies and attempted rob-
berries during the year 1902. All of
these banks were situated in country
towns. The amount of money secured
by the hooters in these robberies was
nearly $155,OOO. There were eighty
three successful robberies, in which
the robbers made good their escape.
The average sum secured in these
raids was S1,s43. In most cases the
proceeds, 1t is estimated, had to be
divided between about six men, hence
the average would have been about
$500 per burglar-if the "swag" had
been prorated. Thus it appears that
on the whole bank burglary is not a
very profitable business, besides being
attended with considerable hazard.
No new devices in burglarizing
banks seem to have been developed
during the year. The favorite method
of cracking a safe continues to be by
means of a little nitroglycerine. a
cake of brown soap, a fuse and a de-
tonating cap. Some marvellous devices
for melting safe doors with an cleo
trical current have been exploited in
special articles in some newspapers,
but none of these has been put into
pratice by scientific burglars.

A little tot of about FIVE summers
held a place recently in one of the
United States Supreme Court seats
while the learned justices were hand
ing down their weighty decisions, says
the New York Tribune. The court was
the embodiment of dignity, so much
so that it was almost oppressive. The
little girl fidgeted in her place as the
justices, in monotonous tones, ex-
pounded fine points of law, and she
shook her head, adorned with a big
picture hat, in impotence.
There came pause. One justice
ceased to speak, as he had given forth
all he had to say on some important
litigation. The silence was thick
enough to be cut with a knife, as they
sometimes say in the books. The
messenger by the noiseless folding
doors shifted from one foot to the 9TH
er, the throng of lawyers within the
bar waited breathlessly for the next
decision to be announced. Still no
justice spoke.
1t was more than the little girl with
picture hat could endure. Mamma, -
said she in voice audible even ND to
the judicial bench, why don't some
one laugh?"
