DEF|ED GOD
And Was Stricken Deaf
and Dumb.

Chicago, June 5.-Professing disbe.
lief in God and following his state
ment with a challenge to the Almighty
to demonstrate his power, Julian Rem
fro, aged 81, was suddenly stricken
deaf and dumb.
This strange experience befell the
young man late last Tuesday night and
he still is a deaf mute. Since being
stricken he has professed belief in
Christ and has gone to his home in
Shreveport, La, where under a Chris
tian mothers care he will study the
Scripture with the hope that ulti-
mately he will be able to preach the
gospel from pulpit and platform.
Details of the strange case became
known only yesterday. Renfro was
born of religious parents in Shreve-
port, but did not take kindly to the
solemn teachings of his mother. He
left home several years ago, coming
to Chicago 10 work in the Office of q
northside tannery as shipping clerk.
Last September he engaged room
and there met several young men with
whom he formed close friendship.
Four of the young men were playing
whist last Tuesday night when their
conversation took religious turn and
they abandoned the game. Three oil
the four expressed belief in God.
but Renfro declared he was an Ag.
nostic.
II would believe in God If could"
he said, but read good deal of In
gersolls writings and am unable to
have faith II God would demonstrate
Himself to me in some way, for in
stance, II He should strike me deal
and dumb, and blind-I might admit
His existence"
One of the young men was about tc
reply to the argument when he no
ticed Renfro turn pale. The next mo
ment the skeptic threw his arms Out
before him as If warding off blow
and convulsively placed his hands be
fore his face. An instant later he fel
forward, off his chair and to the floor
DR.. o. G.. Draper, 205 East Chica
go avenue, found that Renfro had be
come deaf.
Renfro's companions, who are mem
bers of the Moody Bible institute, loot
upon his Affections as a direct rebukt
from the Almighty.

Her Itinerary.

She summered in Paris,
She wintered in Rome,
She last-monthed in Denver,
She'll next month at home.
Now she is this-monthing
In Ogden with friends;
She last-weeked with Mungers
And this-weeks with Rends.-
She'll next-week in this way;
She'll Monday with Sue,
She'll Tuesday at Jennie's,
And Wednesday with Prue.
She'll Thursday at Henry's
And Friday at Don's;
She'll Saturday nowhere,
But Sunday at Johns.
And when she's to-daying
Some morning with us
She'll say: "Ill tomorrow,
Or yesterdayed, thus"

The Editor and the LAWYER.

A lawyer in court room may call a
man a liar, scoundrel, villain or thief
and no one makes complaint when
court has adjourned. If newspaper
prints such reflections on mans
character there is a libel suit or a
dead editor. And this is owing to the
fact that people believe what an editor
says; what a lawyer says cuts no
figure.-Routt county, Colorado Cour-
ier.

AS You Make II.


To the preacher life's a sermon,
To the Joker it's a jest;
To the miser life is money.
To the loafer life is rest.
To the lawyer life's trial,
To the poet life's song;
To the doctor life's patient
That needs treatment right along.
To the soldier life's battle,
To the teacher life's school,;
Life's good thing" to the CRATER,
It's failure to the fool.
To the man upon the engine
Lies long and heavy grade;
It's a gamble to the gambler,
To the merchant life Is trade.
Life's a picture to the artist,
To the rascal life's fraud;
Life perhaps is but burden
To the man beneath the hod.
Life is lovely to the lover.
To the player life's play
Life may be loaf OF trouble
To the man upon the dray.
Life Is but a long vacation
To the man who loves his work;
LIES an everlasting effort
To shun duty to the shirk.
To the heaven-blest romancer
I.ife's a story ever new;
Life is what we try to make it
Brother, what is life to you?

Wife Disappears.

R. r. Wagstaff, clerk in Goodman
& Wasley's store, Is greatly worried
over the disappearance week ago
today of his wife, who is supposed to
have left home in fit OF mental
alteration. Since then the police in
Denver have been hunting high and
low for her, as she was last seen at
the Brown Palace hotel.
Mr.. and Mrs Wagstaff came here
two or three days ago from Wichita,
Kan. Since then they have been
living at the corner OF Fourth street
and Ninth avenue. At times. 1t is
said, Mrs Wagstau has short periods
OF mental alteration, during which
times she imagines herself an actress.
Last Thursday morning she began
painting her face and making up for
a certain stage part. Although the
husband understood this symptom he
did not think t..ere was any danger
in leaving her alone for the day, but
upon returning home he found that
the wife had disappeared.
A later report from Denver states
that the wife had been found in
hotel there .'...-

audience sat stoically and cold. and
only once or twice so far forgot itself
that faint patter OF hands was
heard.
A few music lovers in the city
went to hear the opera because they
expected to hear something little
better than is usually afforded them
IN Greeley. Still more went from
the force Of habit of attending any
thing and everything that comes
along. This fact was evidenced by
the place 10 the house occupied by
the greatest numbers. They were
mostly back of the fifty cents railing.
Just how much they found in the
piece to admire or to censure would
be hard to estimate, for they gave
forth no sound to indicate their
thoughts. Some who were a little
better prepared for an understanding
of the grandeur OF the music could
not help admitting, if they would be
honest about it, that it was better
chan they had really expected. 1t
was not the Metropolitan Opera COM
pany, nor the Grau Italian Opera
company was the Rose Cecilia
Shay Grand Opera company come to
give Greeley the best and most artis-
tic attraction presented here in
many, many months, il anything
better has ever appeared here.
Should Gizet, the composer of the
opera, have been here to see this
particular rendition, he might have
wished tn see more sprightly and
saucy Carmen than Miss Shay, a
more ardent lover than Joseph Fred
ericks as Don Jose, but then he would
have wanted to order better talent in
every part, and 1T was not needed.
The voices were there, rich and
beautiful, and the score was rendered
with feeling and artistic skill. If
anyone was disappointed In not find
ing life enough in the production, he
or she was in large measure to
blame by not responding to the
efforts OF the actors with encouIag
ing applause. The work OF Francis
Carrier as the toreador, and Miss
Mary Darlington as Michaela, the
woman deserted by Don Jose for
Carmen, received perhaps more
friendly greeting even than that Of
Miss Shay and Mr.. Fredericks. The
chorus work was especially strong.
