Sentence Sermons.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Genuineness is genius.
 Love knows no Limitations.
 Every deed is a seed.
 Weakness magnifies the manly.
 There is no sanctity without sense. The sword revenge has a sting in the handle.
 A church membership certificate is not a sleeping car ticket
 There are no good points about porcu- pine character.
 Kindness is the master key to all hearts.
 Those things are not worth seeking that are not worth keeping.
 Shining lives seldom come out of soft circumstances.
 Denouncing sin is not the same as re- Half of life's sorrow is but weeping over weeds.
 good push will scare the devil more than a whole lot of preaching
 Pride dies in the heart when love looks out of the eyes.
 The best way to pray for the poor is with your own basket and store.
 You cannot make clouds for others and live in the clear light yourself.
 Men who are great on little things are apt to be little on great things.
 The Christian is sure to be lean if he keeps his mama laid up in a museum. The man with a tender heart does not need to demonstrate it by the softness of his hand
 There is bound to be squint in the sermon when it has one eye on the creed and the other on the cash

MAN WITH A PISTOL
 TERRORIZES TOWN
KILLS THE MARSHAL AND HOLDS
 CROWD AT BAY WHILE MAKING i
 HIS EscAPE-A LYNcHlNG IS PROBABLE.

Farmont, Ind, November 26-James J. Payne, town marshal, was shot and kill ed on the street this afternoon by Harry Red Hooper, whom he had under ar rest as a suspect for a burglary commit ted last night Hooper also fired twice at Alonzo Thomas, who had started to as- sst the dying man as he lay on the street, but both shots missed.
 Hooper, after killing the marshal, moved slowly down the street holding back the gathering crowd with his revol- yer and reaching the edge of town, es- capped, ordering no one to follow him un- der penalty of death. Armed business men pressed all available vehicles into service and started to surround and kill Hooper.
 It seems certain that if caught Hooper will die in his tracks, or by mob law. The chase has been going on all the af- ternoon.

Ward and Vokes.

The costumes of Ward x Vokes new musical frolic, "A Pair of Pinks' are said to be the handsomest ever given musical farce. In the sixteen musical numbers in which the chorus of show girls are seen they have a complete change for each one. There are thirty pretty girls in the chorus, and the num- Der of costumes for these girls numbers well up toward half a thousand. The principals. too, are admirably gowned and tailored. "A Pair of Pinks" has also been given a handsome scenic equipment and the two acts are set without using any house scenery whatever Ward X Vokes and "A Pair of Pinks" will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Tues day

A Encouragement to Thrift.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 Senator Depew tells of man in Peek skill, N. Y., who is known whereabouts for his extremely thrifty disposition. It appears that one morning a fellow townsman met the frugal man on his way to lis business for the day, and t, his great surprise observed that he was attired in his very best apparel--in fact dressed for all the world as if he were going to an afternoon tea.
 Seeing the illoonceived look of aston ishment of his friend the man of frugal temperament said:
 "Havnt you heard the news?"
 News" stammered the other. .yyhat news?'
 Twins! exclaimed the thrifty man -laconically.
 A light came into the face of the friend 50 that - he began with a glance the resplendid attire of the man who never overlooked anything"
 50 that accounts for this" interrupt- ed the latter. What's the use of trying to be economical.
