lNFfDELS CREATED OF MUD
Rr+ Good Men Are Made of Real Dust,
So the Bible Says, Declares
Aged Believer.

After the opening meeting OF the Re-
Iigious Education associations recent
convention in Philadelphia Rev. Eras-
tus Blakeslee, of Boston, entertained
DR.. Frederic Tracy and DR.. Halsey
Gulick with stories of his youth.
"a friend of mine at college," this
learned editor said, was a lad of skep-
teal views. He and | made a walking
tour one summer, and late on a certain
evening we stopped at a lonely farm
house and asked for shelter for the
night.
The old woman who owned the farm
welcomed us. She had a simple, pious
mind. and she insisted on our taking
part with her in evening prayers.
AT the prayers end my skeptical
companion attempted to deride her
piety.
"Do you really believe he said, that
men are made of dust?
1.-The Good Book says SO; therefore.

"sHow about wet weather, then,
when there is no dust, when there is

my friend.

Tin Te.gs to Build Church.

Norfolk, Val. P. Withrow, a mer-
chant. of Hollis and Ellenboro, N. c..
proposes to undertake to build a church
at Hollis with tobacco tags. He calls
upon every tobacco chewer in America
to aid him in this work, and tells them
that they can contribute their part to
this interdenominational church by
saving their tobacco tags, instead OF
throwing them away, and sending them
to him at Hollis post office, N. z.
Withrow bought and sold $1,000 worth
of tobacco tags last year, which fact,
he points out, will give a very clear idea
of how easy it Will be to collect enough
tags to build a church, providing he re-
ceived the cooperation of chewers OF to-
Oacco.

Woodworking Newspaper Men.

Mark Twain once said that his aver
g daily output of writing, when he
works, is 1900 words a day. That is
about the average days work of the
newspaper writer on a large daily paper,
day in and day out, seven days a week,
In the course of a year this amounts to
657, 900 words. The ordinary novel con-
tains about 100, 900 words. The newspa-
per man writes enough to make a novel
of the best selling type every two
months, with plenty left over at the end
of the year to make another book of
very respectable size. Let us suppose
that he works at the business 40 years;
he has written $3.50, 900 words, or FAC
books. Not even Mrs. E. d. E. N. South
worth could beat that, and yet there are
those who imagine that journalism is III
easy job.-Portland Oregonian.

Now 1t Is a curious fact that this
deplorable condition of affairs is due
almost altogether to the political
methods which make it possible for a
very few men to run" a legislature.
These few men have nc leisure time

until the adjournment. They do all
the work and for their own selfish
purposes want to do all the work.

TO IDENTIFY SMITH.
Steps Being Taken to Make Sure he
Is the Man Wanted.
EFFORTS TO COMPEL HIS RETURN.
Detective Armed with Regulation
Papers Has Gone After Alleged
ConsDIratorS-Attempted to
Exort Money from Young.

New York, April 1.-The district
attorneys Office has taken prompt
steps TO ascertain whether J. Morgan
Smith. who with his wife Julia, was
arrested in Cincinnati Thursday, could
be identified as the man who bought
a revolver of Hyman Stern, the pawn
broker, on the night before Caesar
Young was killed. Smith is the broth
er-in-law Of Nan Patterson. the show
girl accused, and about to be tried
again on the charge of killing Young.
An attempt was made in a previous
trial of Miss Patterson to prove that
Smith bought the revolver with which
Young was killed but the absence OF
Smith greatly hampered the efforts OF
the prosecution in that respect.
Lyman Stern, the pawnbroker, had
been asked to go to Cincinnati and
try to identify Smith and 1t was ex-
pected he would do so Friday. He did
not do so, however. 1t was stated at
the district attorneys office that as
Stern did not go to Ohio, Smith would
be brought to New York and con-
fronted by Stern for Identification as
the man who bought the revolver with
which Young was killed.
The district attorneys office. has
been notified that Detective Mcknight
Of that Office has secured the requisi-
ton papers from Gov. Higgins and
has started for Cincinnati after Smith
and his wife. The indictment upon
which their return is required charges
conspiracy and the papers accompany
ing Gov. Higgins request for their ex-
tradition from Ohio allege that they
are fugitives from justice in this state.
The conspiracy with which Smith
and his wife are charged is that with
Nan Patterson they tried to extort
money from Young on the basis OF
a false claim that she was about to
become the mother of child for which
he would be responsible.
