essay on eloquence. Il call him only n
good reader who can read sense and
poetry into any hymn In the hymn

are hymns which are wanting both In
sense and poetry. The essayist doubt
less intended TO call attention to that
charm of Il good voice which enchalns
attention and indicates rare sensi-
bllity In the reader. THE voice, like
the face, betrays the nature and dis
position and soon indicates what is the
range Of the speakers mind. Many
people have no ear for music, but every
one has an ear for sklllful reading"

BABY'S FACE
MASS OF SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop
0ff-Body Entirely Covered with
Humor Three Doctors Could
Not Cure-ChiId Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. George J. Steese, of 7oI coburn
St., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin
huinors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointm emit,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: ~ feel it my duty to parents
Of other poor suffering babies to tell
You what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out all
over her body with humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as a newborn babes.
I would not be without it again if it
cost FIVE dollars, instead of fseVenty-fve
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever"

Chest Of Money in Cellar of Old
Mansion.
WILL PAY COST OF BUILDING
Owner OF Property Died Recently With
Estate Of Several MiIlions--New
Owner Gets the Bonanza That
Has Been Uncovered.

New York, Jan. "a tale OF reeov-
cred hidden treasure amounting to
$3.50, 600 according to some versions
has become public to ornament the
histories of sudden wealth in the recent
Bronx real estate boom.
On an old brick vault underneath
the site where once stood the Theo-
dore Nj. Macy mansion. workmen wao
are excavating are said to have found
a rusty iron bound chest containing
enough money to pay for the modern
apartment house that Is to be erected.
The chest is now In the possession Of
the owner of the property. The Macy
mansion. with the single exception of
a clubhouse. was the last OF the many
colonial homes that once ornamented
what is now the Bronx. The house
was situated at Longwood and Pros
pect avenues, and was sold a short time
ago to the present owner.
The old mansion was at once torn
down and few weeks ago workmen
began excavating for the foundations
OF the new house. One Of the men sud
denly broke through into an old vault
and the owner. with friend investi-
gated the hole. Great quantities Of
rubbish were found and finally the
chest was uncovered. The fortunate
individual refuses to disclose the exact
value, but is said to have admitted II
is ample to pay for the big apartment
house.
Theodore M. Mack. who once owned
the old house. died about seven years
ago, leaving an estate valued at sew
eral million dollars.

OPTIMISTIC PREACHER.
Says the Golden Age Of Religion Has
Come.

Come.
New York. Jan. 9.--That the golden
age of religious enthusiasm and activ-
ity is about to sweep over this country
and that an unequaled spiritual revival
is to be expected was the statement
made by Rev. DR.. Newell at Brooklyn
yesterday.
Spirituality has passed through the
area of criticism and anathesis is now
becoming creative" he said. I'VE have
been in hothouse condition for 20
years. We have analysed the Bible and
dogmatized the Bible and have had
heresy trials that were more danger
Gus than Chicago fires, and we have
asked questions and answered them
We have passed from the old Thought
that the world was created in six days
to the new thought that God is making
a new world every moment. In truth
we understand that God Is not so far
or that he is not to interrupt our laws
with miracles. but that he is close to
man and is living with him all the
time. All this is the result OF science.
We are at the beginning Of one OF the
greatest church-going epochs in all
history"

COTTAGE GROVE SCHOOL.

indications That Nan Shively's Sui
Will Close Them Down.
| Cottage Grove, Jan. 9.-Miss MAI
i iShively, one of the teachers Of the Cot
tage Grove high school. is the cente
of a fierce school fight here which, Il
her attorneys are successful, promises
to demoralize the high school system o.
the city and throw all pupils above tht
eighth grade out of school.
Some time ago Miss Shively was en-
gagged to teach one Of the grades In tna
high school, but was unable to furnish
the proper certificate and was therefore
dismissed by the school board. Her
cause was taken up by some OF the
prominent citizens. among them being
Mayor ]. Smedley, and she was per-
suaded to carry her case to the county
Superintendent Of SCHOOLS, W. B. Dill
lard. Mr.. billiard, on consideration OF
the case. sustained the complaints oil
Miss Shively, and the schol board, not
to be persuaded, appealed the conten'
ton to the state superintendent The
latter official reversed the decision OF
Prof. billiard.
Papers were filed yesterday in the
circuit court asking for an injunction
against the board to restrain the direc-
tors from paying certain Of the teach
ers who are employed in the higher
grades. 1t is the plan OF the attor-
neys for Miss Shively to show that
the establishment of the high school
grades was not according to the law
provided for such procedure, and in this
way to abolish the upper grades and
make the directors personally respon-
sible for the wages claimed as due by
Miss Shively.
It is asserted that the action and
trouble is instigated by friends of Prof
A. L. Briggs, who formerly taught IN
the schools, but was not reelected by
the board at their last teachers eiec-
ton.
If the attorneys for the plaintiff ara
in their contention 1t Will
mean the forced abandonment OF the
high school department for the time
being at least and will be the source
of much trouble to the present board
of directors, who will be compelled to
at once take steps to organize the
school according to the provisions OF
the oregon school law.
