Rurel Calls by Telephone.

In his article on "Life in the Corn Belt" in the
December Worlds Work, Prof. 7. n. Carver of
Harvard University, gives the following illustra-
ton of how rural calls are made by telephone:

TRIBUTE
TO PATRIOTS
Rev. William RAIDER Reviews
American Advancement Since
Period of George Washington

"From Washington to Roosevelt was
the subject of a sermon by the Rev.
William RAIDER at the Third Congre-
gational Church last evening.
The pulpit was adorned with several
handsome silk American flags and in the
front rows were seated 100 members
of the cadet corps of the Third Con-
gregational Church with their officers,
Captain R. B. Moore, in command, First
Lieutenant A A. Moore and Second
Lieutenant w. c. Olsen.
The Rev Mr.. RAIDER said that upon
that occasion he wished particularly
to devote his thoughts TO the cadets
and to the many other young men
present. The history of George Wash
ington, he said, was inspiring to the
youth of to-day. The great mans
career was dramatic and began in
early life.
He asked them to think of the great
things that have been achieved in the
land since George Washington was
President, since the day when in New
York City he was received with accla-
nation by the populace and took the
oath as the first President of this re-
public, which to-day is a world power.
DR.. RAIDER ventured to say that if
Washington could return he would be
much surprised at the enormous ad-
vancement, with the material growth
Of the country, with its population of
nearly S0,000,0 900 souls. He asked his
congregation to contrast the early days
with the present, the first navy with
the powerful sea force now, the first
army of brave men with the greater
army that had done service at the
time of the Civil War and in the Philip
pines and Cuba. Could George Wash
ington come to us he would behold the
flag reaching far over the seas and
would realize that San Francisco is
the center of commerce. He would ap-
preciate, indeed, how we'll he laid the
foundation of this great republic.
Then, said the Rev. Mr.. RAIDER, the

IS OBSERVED
Interesting Services Held by
the Young Meu's Christian
Association in This City

The First Congregational Church, at
the corner of Post and Mason streets,
was crowded last evening, the occasion
being the celebration of the fiftieth an
piversary of the institution of the
Young Mems Christian Association. An
excellent and interesting programme,
including addresses. by leading digni-
taries of the association, was arranged
and the service was one long to be re-
membered by those that attended.
Right Rev. ]. w. Hamilton resident
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, delivered the principal address.
The Bishop laid particular stress on
the obligations of young men that as
pire to a higher life and of the tempta-
tions that confront them. His sermon
was interspersed with illustrations
from existing conditions and was most
heartily appreciated. In addition, the
Bishop spoke of the wonderful ad-
vancement the association had made
in matters of religion, morals and edu-
cation and of the benefits derived by
men-both young and old-from it's
labors. The night schools, attended by
thousands who have no other source
of enlightenment, was one of the prin-
cipal subjects of the discourse and the
necessity of sustaining this adjunct
was emphasized.
The exercises opened with an organ
prelude, after which the choir rendered
a selection, THE God of Israel" A
reading Of the first psalm and prayer,
followed by Rev. George C. Adams, and
hymns and offerings occupied the time
until Bishop Hamilton's remarks. H. j.
Mccoy. secretary of the local associa-
ton, then made a brief statement, fol-
lowing the lines pursued by Bishop
Hamilton and relating incidents of the
work that has been accomplished in
this city Mr.. Mccoy spoke of the
crowded condition of the night school
and of the duty of those that cared for
the advancement of moral and intel
lectual training to expand the facilities
! for learning.

best way to honor George Washington
is to do the thing that he would have
all do-love the flag and never lay stain
upon it.
Patriotism, he said, did not mean
carrying a chip on ones shoulder and
challenging others to knock it off. He
did not like to see that spirit and the
man who did that was not much of a
patriot, but was. instead, very much
of a coward. What was needed in the
practice of patriotism was peace
peace that should be filtered down into
the trusts and the labor unions and
the home, and every man should love
his country from the standpoint of
peace.
The country, said the Rev. Mr.. RAIDER,
has had at least four great Presidents

Abraham Lincoln, ''the defender;

and Theodore Roosevelt, the in

RIDER NARROWLY ESCAPES
BEING KILLED BY A CAR
Track and Receives Broken Leg
i'm Collision.

Louis McNally Races Along Railroad
Track and Receives Broken Leg
in Collision.
Louis McNally narrowly escaped
death last night by colliding with an
electric car in South San Francisco.
AS a result of the collision he received
a broken leg. while the horse he was
riding was instantly killed.
McNally, who claims to have been a
jockey, was riding through Butcher
town with three friends. They were all
under the influence of alcohol.
While meandering along the track at
a moderate speed one of the brave
riders espied an electric car speeding on
its way southwark. McNally likewise
sighted the oncoming car and through
his half closed orbs it looked to him
like a horse flying down the home
stretch. With jaws set he dug his
spurs into his unwilling steed and
joined the race For time it looked to
McNally like sure thing and he was
coming in on the money a 1 to shot
In an attempt to foul his fast adver-
sary he crossed in front. Instead of
cutting the car off, however, there was
a crash.
The dust finally settled and McNally
was sent to the Receiving Hospital
He had broken his leg, but the horse
had Jared worse. The noble animal
had gone his last race, for his remains
were found lying along the last fifty
yards of the stretch.

pleading to be given an opportunity to
be taken into our night school. 1t is a
matter of regret that 1 have to refuse
them or to oblige them to wait until I
have accommodations for them, but it
is inevitable, and those that have the
interests of the young and the associa-
ton at heart should pay heed and do
something to relieve this congested
state of affairs
The services ended with a benediction
and an organ postlude.

BAD INFLUENCES.

Judge Lindsey is deemed one of the
best authorities, if not the best, in the
United States on the subject. He has
addressed many such conferences in all
parts of the country and has been in
dorsed by all of them. He said in part:
The problem is a vast one. The boys of to-
day are the men of tomorrow. The boys may
have started their career Of crime through
bad home influences improper training by
associating with Dad companions. The punish
ment of these corrupted individuals is not
successful method of preventing them from
committing crimes. In the cases of con-
frmed criminals this is all that can be done.
Every year the number Of inmates in the
formatories is increased one-half of them be-
ing little boys and girls. English prison Off
cials report that the years between the ages
of 16 and 20 the criminal years, and that
between 10 and 16 years is the most essential

THE CENTRE RUSH.
The centre is a powerful man,
Whose anger it is fun to fan;
At least, opponents think it so,
As DER the ball he bendeth low,
They say things quite unlike a pra yer
And pull out handfuls of his hair;
They know he can not we'll resent it,
Though he replies as if he meant it.
THE GUARD.
This object has the guard, it seems,
To send unto the land of dreams
The fellow who opposes him.
He acts with eagerness and vim,
And lands full many vicious punch
Where rests his rivals frugal lunch.
THE END RUSH
He stands alone upon the wing.
And crouches like a cat to spring
Upon the man who tries to go
Around his end. He tackles low
And rubs the runner in the dirt,
Depriving him Of half his shirt.
