When the hour OF the performance
arrived Tuesday night several members
of the company refused to 60 on the
stage, claiming that the manager of the
company had failed to pay their salaries
The manager claimed that he owed
them no salary, that the company was
conducted on profit sharing basis and

Finally after o'clock Mr.. Ashby

a temporary compromise by agreeing to
hold the $26 in the box office belonging
to the company until today, when he
said they could settle their differences
in court. The curtain then went up
on a decidedly mediocre performance.
The court proceedings were heard by
ESQ. Frank Smith this morning. Two
members of the company had attached
the S26 ia Mr.. Wilkins hands for the
salaries they claimed due them.

A Plea For sobriety.

The work Of to-day demands men of
clear brains for its performance. 1t
matters not whether that work be in
the office. the counting room, the legis-
lative hall, the store, the shop, the
field or the mine. The worker who
each morning brings to his task a
strong mind and a steady nerve will
always find his services in demand.
while the one who allows himself to
become the victim of an unbrldled ap-
petite will soon discover that his place
has been filed by one who can do the
work better than he. Such an address
as. that made by President Roosevelt
is always timely. While it is undoubt-
edly true that excesses in the use of
liquor are not as common to-day as
they We're quarter or Il half century
ago, there is still vast room for i'm
brovement, and every effort in that d.
rection deserves the encouragement of
all who seek the elevation and better
ment of their fellow-men.-Baltimore

EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS
SUNDAY, ocTosER is.
Better Work Our Chapter Should Do.
Heb. 6. ZIP; 1a. 20. Fl.

Heb. 6. 7-f2; 10. 20, Fl.
The author Of Hebrews shows. in
our first selection, the difference be-
tween two soils, one fruitful and the
other barren. The fruitful is blessed.
but the thorny ground is cursed. But
the better of the two is the thing that
Is hoped for concerning those written
to. The application is obvious. Bet
ter work and better results are to bs
expected from the League. God will
faithfully do his part; now the ex-
hortation Is that we do ours. It is
an individual matter. II each men,
ber of the Epworth League will do
better. the organization will. But 1t
all rests at last upon the individual
member.
The second selection is a prayer
that this may be accomplished, and
we thus become perfect" that is,
symmetrical and complete, in every
good work. And 1t will be a wise
study for each chapter to see how
and where they can do better work
for Christ.
The Epworth League that is con-
tent 20 just keep up the organization,
to hold It's meetings and fill its Of
fees, is no help to the church. That
League only which Is studying to do
better to improve In all its depart
ments, is the growing and profitable
chapter. There are many reasons for
this:
No Growth Means Decay. We can
not stand still. We grow or die. We
are doing better or we are not doing
so well. We are demoralized IL we
are not getting better. True in the
experience of the Individual, it Is
true Of societies. We only maintain
our ground by getting on to higher
ground.
If the League has been helpful in
the past 1t ought to be more help
full in the future. New departments
and new methods mean new spheres
Of usefulness. The devotional meet
ing, once the only service held, has
now led to the Bible study class, the
mission study class, the Morning
Watch, the multiplied local guilds and
forms OF service in each community.
But is this the bestP BY no means.
We are to study how better to reach
and save the boys" the "lapsed
classes" the unreached and un-
churched masses of our cities and
larger towns. The Hpworth League
has not yet begun to measure up to
the possibilities Of It's usefulness.
In the hands Of the young people
rests very largely the future of our
church. Can the church meet the de-
mands Of changing future? Yes, II
the Epworth League will learn to do
better work.

TWILIGHT BELLS.

There has come to my mind a legend,
A thing j had half forgot;
And whether / read il or dreamed it,
All, well it mattered not:
1t is said that in Heaven at twilight,
A great bell softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken,
To the wonderful music that rings.
III he puts from his hearts inner chambel
All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache and weary longing,
That throb in the pulses Of life
If he thrusts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell of the angels rings.
And l think there is in this legend,
IL we open our eyes TO see,
Somewhat Of an inner meaning,
My friend, to you and me.
Let us look in our hearts and question,
Can pure thoughts enter in
To a soul if it be already
The dwelling Of thoughts of sin?
So, then, let us ponder little;
Let us look in our hearts and see
II the twilight bells of the angels
Could ring for us-you and me.

Advertising Temperance.

The town authorities of Camberwell,
England, are trying a novel method of
bringing the evils of intemperance
home to the people, by posting through
out the place placards containing such
arguments as the following:
No one requires alcohol in either food
or tonic.
Alcohol weakens a mans self-con-
troll while exciting his passions; hence
the number of crimes committed under
Its influence.
Spirits rapidly produce alcoholism.
but mllder drinks, such as beer and
cider, produce, after a time, alcoholic
poisoning with equal certainty.
The sins of alcoholic parents are Wis.,
tied on their children; If the children
survive infancy, they are threatened
with idiocy or epilepsy, and many die
from consumption.
In short, alcoholism Is the most terri
BILE enemy to personal health, to family
happiness, and to national prosperity.

Hunt new tasks; they will give
new zest for the old tasks.
No society can hope to do much
better unless it learns from societies
that are doing better. Have wide.

Who Murdered Arndts-voters OF Great
State and Members OF the Two Great
Parties Indicted For the Crime e-Ter-
ribie Arraignment by n ProbIbitionist
Herman Arndt, a farmer, Of Stock
bridge, Wis, while on q business err
rand, spent the day drinking in a IL
censed saloon. Attempting to drive
away, he fell from his wagon, the
wheel crushing his skull SO that the
brains oozed from the opening. The
wife. when informed. went stark mad.
Six innocent children are left father
less, with an insane mother.
Who murdered Herman Arndt?
The institution for his assassination
was erected by the Democratic and
Republican parties of Wisconsin, who
had the mandate of the people TO do 1t.
The hands of every Wisconsin voter
who had part in electing the men
who erected these laws are red with
the blood of Herman Arndt.
Voters of Wisconsin: Don't hide
your hands in your pockets.
Don't try to prove an allbi.
Don't try to lie out OF 1t.
Don't plead that you were insane.
That saloon is your saloon.
You. the taxpayers, get more of the
net proceeds than does Harrison.
Harrison Is merely your agent.
He has your written credentials to
do this.
He has your receipt for part OF

You authorized this crime by your
solemn votes, and you have got the
money in your public treasury for it.

filched from Arndt for you and pay
