ESTHER'S DEVOTION PRAISED
Rev. Smither of First Christian
Church Discusses Proper Use
of Beauty

Beauty is greatly desired by many
women because it adds much to their
charms. 1t is also a great source of
danger to a woman. The beautiful
woman often becomes possessed with
vanity and looks with contempt upon
others less beautiful than herself.
Beauty only attains it's highest SER
vice when, as in the instance of Es-
ther, 1t is used for the good Of others"
Thus said Rev. A. c. Smither last
evening, who preached on the topic
of "The Character of Esther" at the
First Christian church. He continued,
saying in part:
''It was necessary for the proper use
CT the beauty of Esther In order to
gain the favor of the king in behalf
of her doomed people. A lesson of de-
votion was her religion for her peo-
pie, her Cod under very trying and
difficult conditions. She was a queen
in the court of an oriental despot.
These courts were the abode of in
trigue, falsehood and evil. One SO
beautiful as Esther could easily have
had her head turned and been diverted
from fidelity to God and her people.
Not so with Esther. She was loyal to
her captive people. That is the true re-
ligion which shines brightest in the
dark places of the world. Christians
often shine most brilliantly when in
Caesars household. Young ladies' es-
pecially should be true to God when
thrown under difficult and trying con-
ditions.
"The self-sacrif1cing spirit of the
woman! Though a queen and most
beautiful and admired one she is will
ing to perish if need be in an attempt
to rescue her people from destruction
She was willing to give her life in or
der to save the lives Of others. There
is no supremer heroism in the world
than this. This is the high water
mark OF any life. A true woman must
live in the element of service and sac
rifice. The world with multitudirous
voices calls her to such a life. Wher
she hears the voice and enters into
such a sanctuary she reaches the
noblest end of life. Such sacrifice
brings one into touch and sympathy
with the worlds great sacrifice by
| means Of which men may enter into
that which is life indeed"

SAY 1T WAS ROBBERS TRICK

While fighting flames in a neighbor-
ing yard to prevent their spread to her
own home, Mrs. s, F. Burton's resi-
dence located at 997 East Thirty-first
street. was entered by robbers and two
pocketbooks and handbag containing
a total of $32.T5 were stolen.
The police are of the opinion that
the robbers are responsible for the
confiagration and that 1t was brought
about for the sole purpose of robbery.
The fire, which was started in the
barns adjoining the property of Mrs.
Burton, attracted her and her daugh-
ter to the back yard. The flames
threatened to destroy her own stables
and she immediately set in to save
them.
While thus engaged the robbers
gained entrance to her house and made
their escape with the pocketbooks and
handbag She claims that she saw
two strange men around the house at
the time of the fire, but failed to get
their descriptions.

CARDINAL GIBBONS TALKS
ON BUSINESS HONESTY
SCORES INlQUITY OF "HIGH
FINANCE" METHODS
Points Out That These Crimes Are
Committed, Not as Result Of I'M
pulse, But in Cold Blood, and Wid-
oWs and Orphans Are Victims

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov 5.-Cardinal
Gibbons preached at the cathedral to-
day on probity in business, taking as
his text, Pay what thou owest."
He said in part:
"There is species of dishonesty
which is conducted on a larger scale
I allude to the iniquity of watering
stock and floating it on the market, OF
initiating stocks and bonds and giving
them a fictitious value This sin Is the
more obvious as it is not the result OF
sudden impulse of temptation but II
Perpetrated in cold blood by sharp
witted men who court the esteem OF
their fellow citizens. They use all
kinds of arguments to catch the un-
wary in their tolls and ihf1ict untold
misery on a too-confiding community
and too frequently widows and orphans
are the victims of this species of fraud
II might also allude here to dishonest
presidents and cashiers Of banks and OF
business house clerks. Their number
thank God. is very small compared with
the army of loyal and upright officials
"These unfaithful yield to the Grim
inal desire of growing suddenly rich
They secretly appropriate the funds OF
the institution in which they are EN-
ployed, with the vague intention of re-
storing them. They gamble in stocks
and other securities, hoping to realize
large profits. Their first is a failure
They cast dice again and again, each
time stalking larger sums with the same
result till they have gone down the
stream of speculation too far to re-
trace their steps and hide their iniquity
They involve themselves in irreparable
ruin and degradation. All the waters
Of the Mississippi could not blot out
the stain. A name which before was
mentioned with honor is now whispered
with bated breath or covered with the
silken charity of silence. The last
chapter is usually suicide, exile, or the
penitentiary."

MESSENGER is FOUND GAGGED
Hugh Brown Tells sleuth That He
Was Not Loser In the
Game

Hugh Brown, a messenger in the
employ of the Rapid Messenger service,
was found bound and gagged in front
of a residence on South Workman
street last Saturday night. He had
just delivered a C. o. d. package to
the house of Mrs. Adolph Foyen, 214
South Workman street, and collect
ed $14,
A citizen passing few minutes
later found Brown and reported it to
a policeman. The latter released Brown
and sent in a call to police headquar-
ters.
When questioned by Detective Jones
Brown stated that he had been seized
by a robber, who bound and gagged
him and then robbed him. His story
did not sound plausible to Jones and
the latter gave him one minute to tell
the truth.
With slight hemming and having
the officer says Brown admitted that
he had hidden the $14 in his shoes.
Detective Jones escorted him to the
city jail, but later released him.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW
Thick Covering on San 5ernardlno
Mountains-Rain Beneficial

' NICK covering on san befnaTolHo
Mountains--Rsin Beneficial
Special TO The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO. Nov. 5.--One OF
the most remarkable falls OF snow In
the mountains for so early a date in the
season has occurred in the mountains
north of the city during last night and
today. The snow comes half way down
the mountains to the valley and the
entire range as far as the eve can reach
Is blanketed in white. The fall In the
upper attitudes has been very heavy.
1t Is said the snow Is nearly two feet
deep in places.
The rain in the valley is the first OF
any consequence this fall and has done
great amount of good, especially to
the orange crop which has been in need
Of rain to hasten the earlier fruit. The
heavy wind which has prevailed all day
Is doing some damage to the more ad-
vanced fruit but will not do nearly the
harm that a direct north wind would
do. The heavy fall Of snow in the
mountains has somewhat alarmed some
of the fruit growers, who fear frost
should the weather clear UP at once.
However, that is not seriously feared
by the old timers, who say that the
present spell presages plenty of rain
for the coming winter, the early heavy
fall of snow in the mountains being
especially favorable for another pros
porous season. People who have lived
In this valley for a half century state
that only on two or three occasions
have they seen so heavy fall so early
i'm the season.

The highest wind record for the day
locally was eighteen miles from the

There were no reports indicating the
area of the rainfall but the weather
bureau was certain that the wetness
extended over Southern California at
least. At San Diego the rainfall was
i.16 inches at 5 o'clock Sunday evening,
the velocity Of the southeast wind at
