 Ders-Other Towns May Make the / Experiment.
 The automobile as common car rier in competition with the railway train, or, rather, as substitute for 1t, has made its appearance in eastern Jackson county, in Missouri, says the Kansas City Star.
 In cutting down their time schedule the railways do not stop their fast passenger trains at the smaller towns. There are several "whistling' stations in Jackson county along the Chicago and Alton railway, among them Blue Springs and Oak Grove.
 After clamoring in vain for better train service Blue Springs several weeks ago arrived at solution in part of the problem. A firm of young men established daily automobile service between that town and Independence, leaving Blue Springs early In the fore noon and returning late in the after noon. This enabled the people of Blue Springs and vicinity to spend several hours shopping in Independence or if they preferred to board .the electric cars there and go on to Kansas City.
 And now comes Oak Grove and clamors for automobile service too Oak Grove also has suffered from a great scarcity of local trains. The early westbound and the late east bound trains do not stop there, and the people when they go to Kansas City or Independence by rail have to hurry to do any shopping and get home the same day.
 The people of Oak Grove intimate that if the Chicago and Alton cannot see its way clear to stop more of its trains they may soon follow the exam pie of Blue Springs and establish an automobile line or try to secure an ex- tension of the one already established at Blue Springs.
 Blue Springs Is twelve miles and Oak Grove twenty miles east of Inde- pendence Both lie directly on one of the big trunk lines of rock road built in recent years by the county court. The grades are very easy, and the road is in fine condition. In many places 1t is possible for an automobile to run for long distances at speed of twen- ty-five miles an hour or about as fast as many of the passenger trains.
 The trip between Blue Springs and Independence is made in about forty minutes. although it can be made in considerably less time. At this rate 1t would require about an hour and a quarter to cover the distance between Oak Grove and Independence. It Is probable that Grain Valley, which lies halfway between Oak Grove and Blue | Springs and like them has suffered from inadequate train service, will also acquire the automobile habit soon, and other towns on other railroads may try the experiment.

HYPNOTIC REFORMING.

 Hypnotism as means of reforming boys and girls is to be tested in tho juvenile court by Judge Benjamin B. Lindsey of Denver. one of the pioneers in juvenile court work. Judge Lindsey is taking lessons of a professional hypnotist and for years has been theoretical student of hypnotism, says Denver dispatch.
 The first actual test will be made at the September term of court A boy addicted to smoking cigarettes will probably be the first subject, as Judge Lindsey wishes to accomplish some thing which will demonstrate his ahil ity to assuage physical cravings n well as bring about q mere mentll reformation. Judge Lindsey recently returned from the convention of chari- ties and corrections, where he met many phrenologists, most of whom ad- vised him to attempt hypnotic experi- ments in the juvenile court

 My dealings with children have shown me how true this is For in i stance, there are some boys to whom ! cigarette smoke is decidedly offensive. But the other boys who smoke tell these they, will never be manly unless they learn to smoke. In this manner boys are led into the most injurfous practice known to modern science no< through inclination. merely through fn- ! fiuence.

until they struck 1t rich" It also caused him to let men who were out of money have board and lodging free at his ''Grand Central hotel' in the roaring, rushing days of early Lead vile. It also caused him to treat his employees like human beings, to build a fine hotel on his mining property for them, where, instead of the tough fare usually received by gold miners, they could have clean, light and steam heated rooms, porcelain baths, good cooking. library and reading room and other of the conveniences of civ ilized life; likewise to pay them good wages and to give them the eight hour day when the law did not require it. | This feeling for men extends even tc | animals. About his mine is posted a notice warning all against the killing of birds and harmless beasts Any en- ! ployee found guilty of this offense is instantly discharged Mir Walsh is very fond of the little camp birds. IT. fact, his chief property is called the Camp Bird mine.
 MT. Walsh was born in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1851. He was educated in the common schools and was appren- ticed early as wheelwright, to which | fact he ascribes much of his knowl- edge of mining machinery in later life. At the age of nineteen he came to America, first working on a sewer con- tract at Worcester. Mass. Then he went to the Black Hills, in South Da- kota, and made small stake in a gold mine, after which he found his way to Leadville, Colo, when that was said to be the wickedest and widest open town in the world. Here he married Miss Carrie B. Read. poor girl from south ern Wisconsin. It was a love match Mrs. Walsh is quite as kindly and hos pitable an entertainer as her husband few years ago she daxled Washing ton by the fine array of gowns she brought home from Paris. They wert voted the swelIest ever seen in the cap ital. She had photographer at ths house one whole day and was photo graphed in each of the costumes ir turn.

The Bottom Sill of Christianity.

/ am glad the blessed Christ had
that memorable conversation with
Nicodemus upon the foundation of
all christian experience. Christ
always went to bottom of his SUBJ
ject, bat the trouble is, his hear
ers did not comprehend his mean
ing. That was the trouble with his
present auditor, and is still the
trouble with all the unregenerated
cannot see, do not understand
how these things can be, and yet
Jesus says we must be born again.
Here is Gods imperative. Eye
must" NO lodging that subject.
The unsaved are blind and in the
dark, because these things are
strictly spiritual and can be un-
derstood only those who have been
born of the spirit 1t is not enough
to profess religion and unite With
church and comply with all the
rules and regulations of the church.
there must be something more
done than all this; something that
the holy spirit alone can do. The
soul must be renovated, changed,
born from above, made new crea-
ture in Christ Jesus. on all exter-
nails such a. baptism and confor-
nation, and ritualisms is all mock
cry before God and misleading to
the destruction of the ignorant
Some one will have to give fear
full account one day. I fear there
are many, even church members
who are honestly mistaken, and
have no real christian experience.
They have perhaps the form of
godliness, but are destitute of it's.
There must be an inward grace
that none but God and the indi.
vidual can see. Its evidences are
external and visible to the world.
but not to the internal. Where the
Spirit has done it's work in the
soul evidences will be manifest.
During the war between the states
a lady known as a society woman
was seen by friend in the hos
pital moving from cot to cot to as
sist the sick and wounded. She
was asked how it was that she was
there She said: IL will tell you
