While the village is only fifty miles

having proven very successful on the

The village of Drummond is stu
ated on the G. ST. p. M. & 0. and the
Drummond and Southwes tern rail
roads. 1t is named after Frank II.
Drummond, the managing member
of the Rust-Owen Lumber Co., who
has been chairman of the town and
an active member of the county
board for many wears.
The entice village as well as the
surrounding country is owned by
the Rust-Owen Lumber Company
and it is their mill and logging
camps which furnish the residents
with employment. The mill is
large one employing from IT'S to 200
men and as many more are employed
in the camps throughout the town.
IL connection with he saw mill is a
planning mill where the rough pro-
duct is dressed and worked into all
kinds of fnilled stuff. About twenty
five million feet of lumber are sawed
yearly. The pine for this enormous
output is nearly all obtained in the
town and is hauled by the Drum
mond and Southwes tern and Omaha
roads, to the mill where it is unload
ed in the lake which makes an excel
lent storage pond. The D. & S. w.
road, while its principle freight traffic
is the hauling of logs for the com
pany, is separate institution re9u-
larly organized and Incorporated un-
der the laws OF the state and of
standard gauge and will when the
country develops continue to oper-
ate, furnishing an outlet for farm
products raised along it's line of
road. The lumber company esti-
mates that they have pine enough to
last seven or eight''years yet, at the
present rate of cutting and by that
time the land will be on the market.
The schools are organized under
the state graJed school system, thus
fitting graduates to enter the regu-
lar accredited high schools About
100 pupils are enrolled in the village
schools of Drummond and at the lit.
tie settlement called Sweden few
miles north are twenty more. Two
new schools in the district have been
petitioned for and will be built in
the near future.
Owing to the absence of settlers

road is Long Lake which is becom-
ing favorite resort for fisherman
and summer campers who desire the

cottages have been built along the

BIBLE STORY CAUSES CRIME.
Religious Enthusiasts Moved to Murder by Tale
of Abraham'S Sacrifice

That the story Of Abraham and Isaac
as told in the Bible were responsible
for many of the murders committed by
religious fanatics was the contention
made last Friday night by DIR. Emil
G.. Hirsch at Temple Israel according
to the Chicago Chronicle.
Referring to the story of the at
tempted sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham
DR.. Hirsch said: More harm has
been done by that tale than any other
in the Bible. We read every few
months of some man. who. in a reli-
gious frenzy. has killed his children,
saying that he did so in order that he
might make a sacrifice to God. The
story of Abraham and Isaac has been
read by those religious fanatics and
has led them to commit their fearful
crimes.
DIR. Hirsch lectured on "Was Abra-
ham Real and contended that no such
person ever existed. Abraham, he de-
clared, was the personification of a ma
ton and the story of the people of
whom he was the type.

a book of poetry and not a history. 3"

about ten years ago I met a Rus

zen of a republic was a matter for any
woman to be congratulated upon. She
was amazed at this, and asked me for
an explanation, whereupon I asserted
that l was confident that our sex had
not Jared so badly, either politically
or legally, at the hands of the Russian
government as at the hands of the
United States republic. Each of us
wagered that the other was wrong,
and, to settle the question, we agreed
to gather certain data concerning Wom-
en- in our respective countries. We
found that. while in America millions
of wives had no individual control over
their property. for about two centuries
every wife in Russia had been the legal
mistress of her own fortune; that,
while every woman householder in
Russia had had the right to vote on
all municipal matters for several CEN
turtles, millions of women in the Amer
lean republic had no such rights; that
5000 wives were deserted by husbands
in the republic to 500 in Russia that
thousands of tiny girls were employed
in factories in the republic, while no
little girls can be legally employed by
Russian factories and that more wom-
en- work in the fields of the republic
than in the fields of Russia"

which is the largest on the grounds. AS
the vehicle approached, the humorist
wanted to know if the ivory white of
the exterior was put on with whitewash
or oil paint Being told that it was a
high grade of Gil, he remarked that he
thought all the oil paintings were to be
placed in the Palace of Fine Arts.
What is that building away off yon-
der about half a mile?" asked Mr.. Per
klns, seeing some white staff walls
showing through the trees.
That is some more of the agriculture
building" he was told.
How many miles long is this
house?" asked Perkins. Els all of it in
Missouri. or do few miles of it lap
over into Arkansas? Do they sell
sleeping car tickets on the railroads
that run from one end of 1T to the
other?"
1t was difficult to convince Mr.. Per-
kins that the agricultural building is
only 1,60O feet long and 500 feet wide
The route of the vehicle stretched all
around the building, distance of more
than mile. and while passing along
the west side of the huge structure
the Filipino reservation was pointed
out to the humorist. On the hill slope
beyond the palace of agriculture many
carpenters and excavators were at
work over an area of nearly forty
acres, erecting all sorts of queer look
ing wooden buildings. Some of the
Filipino carpenters were helping the
American workmen in building the
walled city of Manila, the Filipino
dwellings and market, and the streets
and stores of the town where the
thousand or more of Filipinos will live
during the fair.
Perkins remarked that Filipinos
originally must have been Japanese or

cient Greeks to the native inha bitants
of North America. 1t is as a book of
poetry that the Bible should be
taught in the Sunday schools. The
children should not be brought up to
believe that every story in the Bible
is true.
Atheism has gained ground because
of the manner in which the Bible sto-
ries are interpreted. When the chill
dren grow up they come to see that
many of the tales cannot be literally
true, and. not knowing that the Bible
is a book of poetry and not history,
are led astray by such men as the late
Robert Ingersoll."
DR.. Hirsch compared the stories told
in the Bible to those told in Shake
speare's plays. I'VE know that such
a person as Hamlet, Prince of Den
mark, never existed and yet the play
that bears his name is not the less in
structiVe. 1t narrates the story of a
struggle which an entire people had
with the idea that a son must seek
vengeance for the death of a father.
80. too. the Bible stories tell of the
struggles of a people. The story of
Abraham and Isaac is a poetical YER
sion of the struggle to do away with
the custom of offering human sacrifices
to the Deity which found it's way into
the creeds of nearly all the races. The
other stories in the Bible and the Bib
lical biographies are similar to the

in this country they will charge you

his eye.

of a story.
did you ever hear the origin of the
tin roof cocktail story?" he inquired.
THE story, as every one knows, runs
like this: A man went into saloon
in a small town and called for tin
roof cocktail. The Bartender was un-
acquainted with that kind of a drink.
but he supposed that it was something
new from the city, and not caring TO
expose his ignorance he mixed a COCK
tail on a venture and set 1t before
the customer. The man drank 1t down
and started to walk away. The bar
tender asked him if he hadn't forgot
ten pomething. The man kept on
walking out. You have forgotten TO
pay for your drink" called the barten-
der. NO l haven't the man replied;
That was a tin roof cocktail, wasn't
it?' 1t was replied the bartender.
Then said the man, it's on the house,
see?' "
What was the origin of that story.
Mr.. Landen?" 1 asked innocently.
That story" he replied, Originated
just outside the garden of Eden. Adam
was the man who got the free drink.
