TOO FAR-SIGHTED.
It Makes a Vast Difference Sometimes as to
Whose Ok Is Gored

Whose Ok Is Gored
Senator Newlands, OF Nevada, in a
speech recently delivered, points out
with great force the tendency of the
Republican leaders to legislate for the
Philippine Islands, and to ignore leg
islation necessary for this country.
Some of them are very far-sighted, so
to speak-that is, the farther away
the thing is the more clearly they
seem to see it. No one has better
pointed out this defect in eyesight
than Senator Newlands. He says:
Whilst we have been conquering
other countries, monopoly has con-
quered our own. We have time to
settle the railroad question in the
Philippines; We have not the time to
adjust the railroad question in the
United States. We have the time to
give a moderate tariff to the Philip
pines; we have no time to correct an
excessive tariff in the United States.
We can expend vast sums in Cuba, in
in the Philippines, in Panama, in col
onial exploitation and in naval expan.
sion, but we have no money for the in-
ternal development of the republic,
Our harbors and our waterways are
neglected. Our reform legislation
rests in committees, and as a result
either of favoritism or of neglect in
legislation, the greatest plutocracy in
the history of the world has been Great
ed, whilst we have kept our eyes strain.

The Work of an Artist.

A teacher in Boston public school
was seeking to give her boys definite
idea OF what a volcano was; therefore
she drew a picture of one on the black
board. Taking some red chalk she
drew fiery flames pouring from the
summit OF the volcano, and when the
drawing was done she turned to the
class before her and said
"Can any of you tell what that
looks like?"
One boy Immediately held up his
hand, and the teacher said:
"Well, Joey, you may tell u.s."
"It looks like hell ma'am," replied
Joey, with startling promptness.

Houses of Grass.

The grass houses formerly built by
the Wichita Indians OF Southern Ok.
lahoma are exceedingly interesting.
The grass is gathered early in the spring
when it is yet fresh. The sod cutting
usually takes place Immediately after
q rain, the sod being removed to thick
ness Of about eight inches. Buffalo
grass sod is the only kind that will
answer the purpose OF the builder. He
commences to lay the foundation as
does the stone mason, digging away the
earth to depth Of about one foot.
The grass portion OF the chunks OF sod
is laid to the outside, and the house ia
built to a height OF Il to Is feet, in
the form of pointed dome. There is
no hole in the top for smoke to pass
out, the latter being carried away
through a pipe outside the hut. The
door is usually at the south, and there
are no windows. Through each tuft
OF sod is run willow reed string, and
these strings are bound clear around
tho structure. The grass remains
green and will grow il there is plenty
of rain. 1t is not at all uncommon
to see the sides of these grass houses
turn green as spring approaches. just
as do the pastures near them. The
houses are very warm in winter and
cool in summer. They never leak.

prosperity the Louisiana lottery
took from the people only paltry
$40, 600, 900 or $40, 900, 900 a year,
while today there is a single
group of banks, trust companies,

take from the people by might,

of millions each year. There are
scores more of such groups. The
sugar trust has been the instru-

robbed the people of over $780,

Rockefeller is the absolute and
legal owner of the large section
of it which he today is possessed.
when that day is/here, the PEG.
pie will legally be the slaves of
these ten men. 1t is so because

which they must receive, will
itself bring to their Golfers all the

Dedicatory Services
Last Sunday of One Of the rlost
Beautiful M. E. Church
Edifices in This Part of
North Dakota.
The Cost of This Tabernacle of
Worship, When Completed,
Will Reach 100000.

Last Sabbath was a %red-letter
day in the history of Hope. 1t
marked the opening of the new
Methodist Episcopal church,
whose doors stand ajarto welcome
all who are interested in church
work, for it is a church built by
the people and for the people.
Anxiously have the citizens
looked forward to this day with
pleasant anticipation and much
greater realization.
The morning dawned, cold but
beautiful; the rising sun in his
splendor seemed a gentle har-
binger of. the blessing awaiting
those who would assemble within
the beautiful walls of the House
of God. The ringing of the
sweet-toned Sabbath bell, re-
minded our little city of the Holy
Day and it's sacred meaning.
Before the appointed hour
arrived the church WAS crowded
three hundred people were
comfortably seated, awaiting the
opening Of the service. At eleven
o'clock the choir entered during
the soft strains of the voluntary.
The music, beautifully rendered,
prepared all minds and hearts
for the reception Of the Truth.
The text of the morning is
found in Matt. 5:47, What Do
Ye More Than Others ?" 1t was
a scholarly sermon, grand in
it's simplicity, sublime in the ut
terance Of Gospel Truth, and be-
ing accompanied with the Holy
Spirit, it remains as a heavenly
benediction upon all those who
were there assembled.
DR.. Montgomery introduced
at the close of his sermon a very
unique plan for the raising of
money. A large picture of the
church had previously been
painted by MI. Oscar Anderson.
This picture, when placed before
the audience, was entirely COW
cred with small cards stamped
with different sums of money,
ranging from one to fifty dollars
amounting in all to twenty.
three hundred. It was impossi.
BILE to see the painting until the
debt was raised. To raise the
debt seemed an insurmountable
undertaking; many had said il
Icouldn't be done. 7 can't
never accomplished anything ir
lin this world; T can" has &C
complished much, 50 DR.. Mont
gomery, in his very pleasing
manner, set about his task and
lin a short time had lifted two
thousand of the debt. Owing tt
the lateness of the hour the re
naming three hundred was left
until night which was raised.

with a margin of one hundred,
without any difficulty. This made
possible the dedication of this
beautiful little structure free of
debt, to the glory of God.
In the evening DR.. Montgom-
cry was greeted with a still
larger audience thanin the morn
ing. Anxious hearts awaited
the hour when this great and
good man would break again the
Bread Of Life" to hungry souls.
His hearers were made to feel
that a live coal from off the altar
had touched his lips" as he gave
them the address of the hour.
1.-THE Aspects of a Useful Life"
was the topic Of the evening. He
treated it.from a four-fold stand
point, i. e., LIST, self restraint;
End, submissions; Sd, liberty
used with a sense of RESPONSIBLE
ity; 4th, reverence. Only a man
whose life is hid with Christ in
God, can move and sway his au-
dience for good, as he did.
Thus the Sabbath Day had
come and gone, leaving a quiet,
peaceful ''benedicite" upon the
people. Glad were all hearts
because Of this Holy Day.
Last May Rev. D. I. Roush be-
gan a worthy, but seemingly i'm
possible enterprise-that of
building a new M. E. church.
Many weeks and months has he
carefully, earnestly and prayer
fully labored tosee his ambitions
realized, his hopes attained.
Many have been the discourage
ments with which he has had to
contend-ill-health, harsh crit
cisms, lack of financial support,
but these difficulties seemed only
to renew his energies and today
we see the result of his.un-
firing efforts, an edifice of which
this little city may well be proud,
for it is the best and most beau
tiful church in this part of North
Dakota. The structure alone
cost $4,000. (Add to this the do
nations, in stone, etc., together
with freight concessions, and
for finishing basement and lawn,
it will easily reach $1,000. The
outside is not yet completed, ow-
ing to the intensity Of the wealth.
er. The outside is carefully and
%artistically arranged in every de.
tail. No gorgeous display, but
modest beauty, is the adornment
of this tabernacle of worship.
Rev. Roush was veryfortunate
in securing the services of Rev.

little city has been a source Of
great Inspiration, the fragrance
of his noble life, the golden words
which he uttered, the divine
messages which came from his
heart, being the gospel tidings
of peace and love, these remain
with us still, a mausoleum erect
ed in our hearts, to one who has
lifted us heavenward and God
ward.

And, reading. held your hand in mine,
