.oTHRR PEOPLES MONEY. ;.

James R. Waite will receive cor dial greeting when he appears in "Other Peoples Money tomorrow af- ternoon and evening at Polls. He is an actor of great popularity, in Water bury particularly, and he has in this comedy one that furnishes him ample scope. There is never a tear or a sob in the play, for it was written on laughter lines solely, and how well it has succeeded as n care destroyer is evidenced by the fact that it has now been played continuously up and down the land for the past six years. There must be mirth in a play of the comedy type that will survive public criticism for so many years, and for those who delight in the lighter order of things theatric this play will prove most vel come. It is to laugh can truly he writ ten of Other Peoples Money" and Mir Waite has surrounded himself with a company each one of its members irl- tent upon extracting to the final atom all of the merriment with which it abounds. Prices are popular. for the matinee IS and 25 cents, and 25, 35 and 90 cents in the evening.

GOSPEL AUTOMOBILE
A "Devil Wagon" Being Put tc
 Good Use in Chicago.
St Is Probably the First of Its Kind in the World and Has Attracted C0ns1derable Notice in
 That City.

On recent Sunday Chicago pastor preached on the topic of Automobile Christianity" Just what peculiar or particular type of Christianity was meant is not clear, but 1t is reasonable to suppose that the preacher had in mind an up-to-date Christianity which was keeping pace with modern thought and development. But whatever "Au- tomobile Christianity" may or may not be we doubt the dignity and propriety of the term And while one Chicago pastor is talking of Automobile Chris itianity, another pastor has been laying the automobile fleet under tribute and preaching the good old Gospel from 1t to the multitudes as they gathered on the street corners.
 Chicago, we feel confident in assert ing, is the only city in the United States, or the world for that matter, which has Gospel Automobile" In connection with street meetings in that city there have been at various times novel features to draw the crowds and give the speaker an audience, but we think this is the first time the automo- bile has appeared as an adjunct of the religious meeting The Morrill, Twins used to haul their unique Gospel ship to the downtown street corner and from its deck preach and sing the Cos pei. A year or two ago converted cowboy and horse trainer appeared on the Lake Front park and after break ing young and untractable horse he would preach the Gospel from the back of the conquered animal. and great were the crowds he gathered. And now comes the Gospel automobile.
 Tn the minds of most people the rushing, punang horseless carriage is to greater CT less degree associated with the world the flesh and the devil Itis the modern engine of death on the street corner. it Is the particular dread of the farmer, who is it's sworn and deadly enemy. 1t is the latest fad of the rich who are rushing into the new al.

success, are shown in the foreground There was no attempt at sensational- ism. The automobile attracted atten- ton, of course, as 1t was run through the district where the meeting was to be held, as 1t was intended 1t should
 but the speed of the machine was mod crate and dignified, and rolled quickly up to the appointed corner. During the singing and after the preaching tracts and cards of invitation to the regular church services were distrib- uted by the pastors large corps oi workers. And In it's new field the au- tomobile has proved a pronounced sue cess. Chicago is the pioneer in the Gospel automobile movement. Per- haps other cities will follow during an other year, and help to prove that the term .'devil wagons is misnomer.

PORCELAIN NEST EGG.
Snake Tried to Swallow It, But Couldn't, and Was Slowly
 ChOked to Death.

A record breaking snake story, the truthfulness of which cannot be doubted, comes from A. l.. Osterhage, postmaster at F'reelandville, Ind. His wife had been missing eggs from her henhouse for several days. The other evening she stepped into the hennery to gather what eggs were there, when she was startled by monster snake coiled up near the nests. The snake was in the act of swal- lowing porcelain nest egg.
 Mrs. Osterhage quietly slipped away without disturbing the busily engaged reptile, and, going to nearby shed. se- cured an ax with which to dispatch the egg thief She was absent but a few mo- ments, and on returning was surprised to find the snake stretched out on the floor

version with all the recklessness of g pleasure-loving nature, and the Sunday automobile run Is the immediate sue cessor of that great Sabbath desecrator the bicycle run, and so when 1t Is found that one automobile Is running circum. specify in the straight and narrow path and seeking to perform mission in the effort to reach the masses with the Gospel, it is worthy of mention. The public wants to know about the Gospel automobile.
 Rev. Dr. George E. Burlingame, pas. tor of the Covenant Baptist church, oi Chicago, is the man who has opened up new possibilities for the automobile Two deep convictions are strikingly op- erative in his life: One is thatmen need Christ, and the other is that ministry has failed to improve it's full and some times best opportunity to bring Christ to men when it neglects the open-aiI service. Christ did most of His preach. Ing in the open air So did the early disciples. and so have all the great Gospel ministers since that day And with these two convictions burning Tn his breast and spurring him on, he has for years coupled open air work with his regular church work, All during the past summer on Sunday evenings just prior to the evening services in the
 hurch, the Gospel has been sung and Che Word preached on the street cor. ners in the section of the city where the church is located.
 When one of Dr. Burlingame's dea. cons purchased an automobile runa- bout. he was quick to enlist 1t in the Masters service Our illustration gives view of the horseless carriage with its placard announcing the meeting and it's location.

THE CLUTCH OF CHANGE.

'"rbe race is not to the swift. nor the battle to the strong, but time and chance happeneth to them all."-Eccl. lIx:II. For the man who wins, there ds pomp and
 pride, And the laurel wreath, and the cheer, be. And for him who fights but in fighting,
 falls, There are echoes still of the trumpet calls But there is no balm in his bitter lot Ix he meets defeat with his fight unfought. There are sore defeats that are all un-
 known, And they send their gloom to the proud
 est. throne; S-,t And they plunge their shade on the hum
 blest Hfe- For they bring no stress and they bring no .i strife; By time or chance is the loser caught. And he knows defeat ere his fight Is fought. There are singers mute-and their hearts are wrung And their souls are thrilled with the songs
 unsung; There are men who dreamed of a. picture But the hand is still and the canvas bare: And the others, too, with the goals un-
 sought They have seen defeat with their fights un-
 fought. If man goes down with his sword afash, And has heard the lance and the armoi
 crash If he loses then, he will shed no tears; He hath dealt his blows, he has heard the
 cheers; But is soul must shrink from he knows not
