the force of law" The French say;
Liberty is equality, and eqality is lib
erty." The Germans say: Liberty or
justice, for where there is justice there
is liberty, and liberty is nothing else
than justice" But the Roman simply
meant that man is not slave. The
French equality may mean stagnation
and death. The German makes equiv
alent two things which no definition
can reconcile. But American liberty
means the enjoyment of high civil
privileges and rights. 1t means gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
for the people. Liberty abused is a
curse even among free and independ-
ent people. There must be u limit then
to even religious liberty. Chief Justice
Waite, in rendering the decision of the
supreme court of the United States in
the only case in which the government
has undertaken to define the limits of
religious liberty, where congress pro-
hibited p0lygamy in the territory of
Utah, said Laws are made for the
government of actions, aud while they
can not interfere with religious belief
and opinions, they may with practices.
As a law of the organization of society
under the exclusive dominion of the
United States, it is provided that plural
marriages shall not be allowed. Can a
man exercise his practices to the con-
trary because of his religious belief? To
permit this would be to make the pro-
fessed doctrine of religious belief supe.

THANKSGIVING SERMON
CHRISTIAN Church.

Following is the sermon delivered by
Rev. A. A, Beery, pastor of the Valley
Christian church, Thanksgiving day,
November 26, 1908:
The day set apart for Thanksgiving Is
not on account of legislation but be-
cause of public pressure or sentiment.
1t was and Is so fitting for Christian
nation, after the harvest has been gath
cred, to thank Him who is the giver of
all good for blessings showered upon
us during the past year. Remember
ing that every good gift and every per-
feet boon is from above, coming down
from the Father of Light. Perhaps it
is not then that the one in authority is
religious nor desirous of offering praise
to God, nor even a believer. 1t Is the
outburst of Christians throughout the
land praising God from whom all bless
ings flow.
Shall ! enumerate today some of the
things, the larger blessings, that we as
Il nation should be thankful for, and
Sing unto the Lord a new song and
His praise in the congregation of the
saints?'

a free and independent people have it.

The Advance of Woman

Great as has been the demand for
adaptation made upon the race, that
made upon women alone has been still
greater. says a writer in the Outlook.
Here are so'ae typical facts. In 1900
less than 100 women were employed in
factories in the United States. EN-
ployment in other lines outside those
strictly domestic was rare. Even wom-
en- teachers were few. To-day 5,00O.-
600 women are engaged in the United
States in 400 different wage-earning
occupations.
In 1870 there was not a college in the
world open to women. In 1890 in this
country a03 colleges were open to both
msn and women. 127 to men alone and
ITO to women alone-an actual ad
vantage Of 43 In favor of women.
In 1900. in the United States, de
grSes were conferred on 1924 men
and on 1928 women-mOre than one
third as many women as men.

The watch is not intended to re-

useful for travellers who do not re-
quire loud alarm. It's special utility

Here it serves as a reminder of en-
gagements of too great an Importance

France costs from twenty francs.
while there are German watches with

The Craze for Wealth

Henry Dexter, the aged father of
the wealthy Adirondack landowner
wto was shot from ambush, declares
in bitterness of spirit that the Unit
ed States has no place for man OF
wealth who does not strive for more

years ago he was ready to retire with
a relatively modest fortune, the in
come of which was more than suffi-
cient for his needs. and looked for
home amid men similarly situated.
But
Il found that was practically alone.
Those who had prospered in the same
measure as myself were not content.
They wanted more wealth and more
power l have found this is true of
all Americans. There is no leisure
class here. Even the wealthiest are

terprises, and often in speculation.

Some novel timepieces are being
shown this season. One domestic nov
city is a small watch which gives
railroad time" In place of the con-
ventional dial there is double-decked
arrangement of figures. The top row
gives the hour, the lower the minutes.
At half after ten one sees by this
clock 1920. A half hour later the
figure reads 11;00. The right-hand
figure changes every minute in the
lower column, while the one on the
left is shifted every ten minutes, and
an hour is required for the changing
of the number on top. Six dollars is
the price asked for it.

contained in watch case. This is

AROUND THE WORLD.
Professor Hosg Claims Journey Will
Be Made In Thirty-Three Days.

Colorado & Southern officials have
received from Fort Worth. Texas, a
pamphlet setting forth the theories of
Prof Alexander Hogg. who maintains
1t will soon be possible to go around
the world in thirty-three days. A pro
jected extension OF the Trans-Siberian
railway will enable the traveller to go
to a point on Bering Strait. instead Of
Vladivostock. the present terminus. On
the opposite side of the strait is the
extension of the Alaskan railway. This
road Is making surveys from Dawson
to Nome. and has a line Of coaches
at present running from st. Michaels
to Nome. Within the next year 1t Is
expected a steam railroad will be in
operation between st. Michaels and
Mons. Professor Hogg figures that
by travelling from Nome to Dawson
and thence to Seattle the journey
around the world will be greatly short
ened.
Some time ago the Canadian Pacific
railway authorities were considering
scheme to build a line from Hudson
bay to Vancouver. 1t was pointed out
the distance from London to Hudson
bay was much less than to Canadian
seaports. 1t was estimated that the
ocean trip could be made in four days,
thus effecting a saving of three days
between London and Vancouver. In
vestigation proved. however, the line
would be available only few months
during the summer, as the winters are
too rigorous for railroading.

"Lycurgus," asked Mrs. Shivvers,
somewhat timidly, have we got to
worry through this winter with the
same comfortless furnace we had last
year,"
mo, my dear, we haven't" respond
ed Mr.. Shivvers decidedly. l have put
in considerable time during the sum-
mer studying the theory of thermody-
namies and the practical structure OF
furnaces. As the result, l have do
signed furnace which will heat this
house, difficult as that seems to be.
The drawings are now in the iron
founders hands, and in less than u
week the furnace will be set up in our
cellar"
In due time the furnace was ready.
and Mr.. Shivvers himself started the
first fire in it; but only to begin a
period of puzzlement and exaspera-
ton. There was no heat from any of
the registers, not even a Whit of luke
warm air. For several days Mr.. Shiv-
vers toyed hopefully with the obstin-
ate furnace, piling on fuel-there was
never any difficulty about making a
rousirg fire in it-leaving this door
open and that shut, leaving them all
open, shutting every last one of them,
and variously disporting himself with
its mechanism, but the bigger and
more furious the fire he made the less
sign of hot air was there from the
registers. until at last he had to give
it up as unsolvable by him and reluct-
antly call in the local plumber to see
what he could do.
That gentleman prowled knowingly
around the furnace for what seemed
to Mr.. Shivvers' impatience an inter
minable time, and at last emerged
shaking his head sadly

"Mr. Shivvers." he said in voice
choking with sympathy. "Mr. Shiv-
vers, my dear sir, believe me, l under
stand that you did this from the

splendid hope, was to air and comfort

"See here" interrupted Mr.. Shiv-
vers impatiently, what in blaZes have
the tropics to do with fool of fur
mace that obstinately refuses to give
out any heat?"
And as | was going to say" con-
tinued the plumber still more compass
sionately, Its too small, anyway.
This furnace is too small, Mr.. Shiv-
vers. 1t might raise the temperature
of this town considerably; or possibly
of the county trifle, If they could be

ly cannot succeed unless you build one

phere. you can't indeed, my dear sir"
"Will you tell me what you are driv-
cling about?" cried Mr.. Shivvers.
why, aren't you trying to turn this
into a tropic climate?" asked the
plumber. with great apparent surprise.
you see, all the heat goes out through
| this smoke pipe into the wide, wide
world. and of course thought you had

But what he thought was lost. In

things in general.
