PREACH THE GOSPEL.

Apropos of the ministers of this city
appearing before the city council at
recent meeting with a petition to
suppress certain evils, which they
claim exist in Grand JUNCTION the
following special dispatch is taken
from Denver daily newspaper which
tells the story of man who has been
at the head of the municipal govern
ment of st. Paul for twelve years.
The trouble with many ministers of
the gospel is that they devote too
much of their valuable time to
"spiinging sensations upon their
congregations instead of preaching
Jesus Christ and his crucifxion. as
Holy Writ says they must. 'Tis the
Gospel and Not Gossip the thinking
people want who attend church. Here
is Mayor Smiths public statement:
''St. Paul, Mimi. May 11.-Reply
ing to the attacks of several leading
ministers. Mayor Smith, who has been
twelve years at the head of the city
government and served through six
administrations. declared that mod
ern city could not be run on the Sun
day school plan.
Z" 1t is quite impossible, he declared
These ministers bother me. They
have bothered me for ears. yet none
of their attacks ever resulted in any
thing. Ministers are theorists. They
don't know how to manage practical
affairs of city administration. You
cannot prevent vice. 1 know that
" Half the laws made nowadays
are made by men who have positive
kuowleged that it is impossible to en-
force the measures. 70 engage in the
social evil is crime. Under our
laws the owner of house used for
such purposes can be sent to states
prison. The man who framed that
law knew it would never be used and
it has not been. You cannot prevent
the social evil. 1t is too widespread.
The best you can do is to regulate it
after a fashion.
'' The administration that adopts
the Sunday school idea and tries to
prohibit such things is doomed. 1t
will be showed uuder at the very first
election. l know what I'm talking
about. A relative of mine who was
mayor of Indianapolis tried, and thev
showed him SO deep no one has heard
of him since.

Scriptures and let people who know
how run the city government. -

GOOD CUSTOMER OF FRANCE.

England Makes Heavy Purchases
from Her old-Time Foe.
Jean Finot. editor OF the Revue dos
Revues. recently put the relations bS-
tween France and England In q most
striking fashion. He SAID
Great Britain deserves the namo
of the richest and most important of
French colonies. France is 80 bound
up with her fate that the disappear.
ance of England's economic power
would cause her incalculable mischief.
Our total exports in 1901 were only
4,155 100000 francs, of which Eng.
land took 1864 100000 francs. or
more than 80 per cent of all the mer.
chandise which we cast on the
worlds market. But even OF more i'm
portance is the fact that the amount
of English purchases in France Is
constantly growing. From 1,032. .000,-
900 francs in 1895 Il rose to 1,132, ,0O0,.
900 francs in 1897. to ,23S,000,00
francs in 1899, and to 1.264, ,000, 900
francs in 1901, thug showing an in
crease of 232, 900. 900 francs, or over
% per cent in FIVE years. Now the
purchases from the mother country of
all the French colonies, including
Algeria, 259 100000 francs, ard Tunis.
about $4,000. 900 francs, together with
those scattered all over the world,
about 1S3.000,000 francs, did not
amount in 1900 to more than 476 .000.-
go francs. Besides this colossal
amount of purchases, the English
yearly spend considerable sums in
France. The money left in our coun-
try by Englishmen visiting Paris or
their favorite resorts is commonly
estimated at 100000. 900 francs, thus
making 1880 100000 flames as the
formidable total yearly paid by Eng.
| land to Frnnce."

Mackay was ar early riser, a hard
worker, and, although exceedingly hos
pitabie, was himself abstemious and
could seldom be induced to play cards
for money, and then only for nominal
stakes. The only game that seemed
to attract him was the "grasshopper
races" with which the mining super
intendents on the Comstock beguiled
a portion of the noon hour, while wait
ing for luncheon at the Savage Com
pany hosting house. Boys caught
grasshoppers and sold them to the
players at Is to so cents each. Each
player paid a fixed stake. ranging from
81 to $40, into the pool, and the mar
whose hopper made the longest jump
captured the pool. On the day before
Christmas it was agreed to celebrate
that holiday with a pool, the stakes
in which were to be 500 for each
player. The terms were play or pay"

lessly about him, and to his dis1nay
refused to desist when he wished to
leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused TO be shaken off, and in their
play they scratched his legs in a fear
full fashion.
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations Of delight, and
before long their unusual cries
brought q lioneGs leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb, the man

cubs continued to jump at him, eager
for further carGsses. The enraged
lioness moved round uneasily in a
circle, man and beast keeping their
eyes liked steadily on each other. Sew.
eral times the lioness crouched to
spring, but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
AT length, after what seemed an
age. when the man was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her cubs away and disappeared
into the surrounding shrub.

There Is an old saying that any
man can subdue a wild animal by
merely looking into its eyes. and in
t~eresting stories are told of adven-
turous hunters who have put the the
DRY to practical test.
An African sportsman had a unique
experience in attempting to charm an
ostrich.
Approaching a large ostrich, he
gazed ixedly at 1t, and to his delight
the mesmeric glance seemed to meet
with immediate success. The bird
crouched and 1apped its wings nerv-
ously. Some hours later, however,
the mans body was found with the
ostrich alternately sitting and jumping
upon it.

in a geological garden. He afterward
confessed that but for the wires of
the cage his face would have been
torn to pieces.

CHEAP VIOLIN
Used by Two smooth Men TO Beat a
Pawnbroker


~Pawnbroker.
The Impression that pawnbrokers
cannot be worked" has been exploded
by some cunning swindlers- Some
months ago there came to Philadelphia
two musicians who had been stranded
with a theatrical company in a neigh
boring New lore Gnn. I.1y L>eded
I r.rIey oauly. SO tney put their wits to
work and succeeded in raising a nice
little stake. This is the way they
worked it: One Of them, who may be
called John Bow, took his violin
which was a cheap instrument, worth
at the utmost $25-to a Market street
pawn shop and gave the proprietor a
long essay on the rarity Of the instru-
ment. To prove that it was an old
Cremona, he played for the pawnbrok-
er. and finally succeeded in getting a
SIS loan on it for two weeks. Before
he left he urged the money lender to
be very careful of the violin, as he
would not lose it for hundreds Of dol
lars. The pawnbroker placed the fd-
die in his safe and instructed his as
sistants to be very careful of it.. A
week later a man entered the place
who said he was a collector of rare
victims. and wanted tt know II there
were any Iii the shop that lie might
fancy. The boss showed him a num-
Der, but the fancier did not see n
to his liking. Finally Bows violin was
brought out, and when the fancier
drew the bow over it he became enthu-
siastic ard said he would give sl00 for
it. The broker replied that he was
sorry, but the violin could not be sold.
The stranger then became anxious and
left a S. deposit. and asked that they
try to get the fiddle. A few days aft
erward the owner, Bow. came in, and
when the proprietor learned hat he
wanted an additional $40 on the fiddle
he offered him S100 cash more for the
instrument. At first Bow would not
listen to 1t, but finally he took the
additional 500 and left with a sorrow
full face. The pawnbroker chuckled
over such an easy way OF making over
$500. He waited anXously for the
f~ancier. but as it is how over three
months since he said ne would come
back. the broker thinks it was a put up
Job. He had the violin valued last
week. and it was pronounced worth, at
the highest, s25.-Philadelphia Record.

CHILDHOOD AND MURDER.
How Charles Dickens PatnteA Them In
''Our Mutnat Friend"

"Our Mutnal Friend"
It IS In the passage OF childhood
yeritable childhood, in which the ia
nous Little Nell seems to me to have
no part-that Dickens writes those
words of perception OF which literature
would do well to be proud. Take the
PASSAGES Of several OF the novels in
which the heart OF a child is uttered
by the humorist in whose heart moth
ing ceases to live. These pages are
too full for citation. But here, in the
last word Of the phrase. Is a most
/ characteristic stroke Of authorship.
Pip" in Great Expectations" as ev-
eryone knows. has taken food for his
convict, and he goes to church on
Christmas morning: Under the
! weight Of ny wicked secret | pom
dered whether the church would be
powerful enough to shield me from the
vengeance Of the terrible young man.
If | divulged to that establishment"
Another word of precision is this:
"Trabb's boy, when / had entered was
sweeping the shop, and ne had sweet
ened his labors by sweeping over me.
Here is another, and it repeats the eff
feet of Mr.. Vohles' sleeve, in a child's
apprehension: Miss Murdstone, who
was busy at her writing desk. gave me
her cold finger nails" "A sobbing gas
light" Mrs. Wilfer's "darkling
state" and "lurid indications of the
better marriages she might have
made" (wherewith she celebrates her
silver wedGing)-these serve to remind
a reader OF the thousands Of their ad-
mirable kind. cannot think that the
telling OF a violent accident (most diff
ffcult achievement of narrative writ
ing) could be done more dramatically
than it is done in the passage that
tells the murder in Martin ChuZzle-
wit" So with the half-told murder in
Edwin Brood" AS by strong drama
tic drawing in a picture, the thing is
held. These passages of extreme ac-
ton are never without dignity. Lit
erary dignity is rarer in the pathetic
mood, but it is frequent in landscape:
"All beyond his figure was a vast dark
curtain in solemn movement toward
II quarter Of the heavens" 1t seems
to me that the word curtain" Is COM
mon, and that it would have spoiled
the phrase of many writer's as it fails
to spoil that of Dickens.-Collier's
Weekly.
