The LitchviIle IN. d. Bulletin has
started out, in the language of the press,
to mug Its prominent citizens. In other
words, their pictures are presented with
column write-up for nothing except
good will. The Bulletins first victim is
"CliH' Rich, who slid into North Dakota
when boy and assisted his papa in tick
ling the soil with a flea bitten pair of Mis-
souri, mules and a strong appetite. AS Cliff
grew up, farming was found by him to
be too strenuous, and he started a drug
store where you buy court plaster and
celluloid combs from a. m. until 11:15
p. m. It doesn't cost you cent to get
your countenance in the Bulletin, but
you've got to live the high part ever after.
Two very smooth crooks are doing
horse act in Minnesota that merits ex-
tended notice. Albert Smith of Victoria,
MIMI, had nice $40G team which he tied
IN front of the postoffice. There he met
the two gentlemen. who showed much
liquid bon comaraderie, they buying The
next morning, upon going to feed his
horses, Albert made the discovery that
the strangers had worked the presto;
change racket on him the evening before
and that instead Of still being the proud
possessor Of a matched team valued in
the neighborhood of $500, he now has a.:
pair Of skates worth about 80 cents apiece
Mr.. Smith dos not know what drug was
used in his moisture. Albert Whitman OF
Waconia was also persuaded in the same

of horse hides containing some meat and
bones, but very little real horse. A num-
Der Of people are looking for these horse
artists and much irritation is expressed
If they are found it is feared that some
excited member of the populace will
strike them real hard right in the face.

There is j. Pierpont Morgan. He pro-
phesied when Steal common was 40

lowers took this tip and young Mr. Hunt

say nothing when asked about this ex-
perience. But shrewd guess may be
formed of his opinion Of Mr.. Morgan as
a prophet In any case the prophets seem
to be doing well. How would you like
to be in a position where somebody could
steal your Wife's 81, 800 diamond. Not so
bad I don't think!
Speaking of prophets, when I was trav-
cling in the east this fall I heard all about
the Rev: Mr.. Sanford and his holy Ghost
and Us" society at Shiloh, Maine. Mr.
SANFORD IS very autocratic gentleman
and if you get under his power you have
to give down or he knows why. The So
ciety has put up a lot Of great buildings
at Shiloh and is prosperous and growing.
AS an autocrat Mr.. Sanford outdowies DR..
Dowie, if you can believe what you hear
and you usually can not But the Shiloh
prophet had one financial method that
commended itself strongly to me for it's
simplicity. The Sanford people give
tithes Of all they possess like the Dowie
people, but when this does not furnish
genteel sufficiency of the mammon of I'M
righteousness the Rev. Mr.. Sanford pro-
claims what he succinctly and tersely
calls "a Clearing Out Time" When a
Clearing Out Time is proclaimed you step
up and contribute everything you have
every last red. And great is your reward
in heaven. At least this is what the pro-
phet gives out.
But suppose you refuse to give down.
Then you go to that place. that's what
you do, which DR.. Shutter refuses to men,
ton in terms Of admiration and respect
before his large and intelligent congrega-
ton. And the prophet has the very old
BOY of a time in getting you out. too. He
Just has to agonize and it takes times
md money, that's what it does. Some
people who couldn't be gotten out easily
ire said to have gone insane over the

Now these statements may be all wrong,
or it is never safe to judge man or
movement by the testimony of those who
lon't know anything about him or it.
These were the stories told me by out
'iders and it was more than likely that
hey were largely fiction.
Nevertheless the Clearing Out Time as
