/ understand that when a minister
moves from one town to another he oc-
caslona1y breaches some of his old ser
mons. Here is something I wrote three
years ago. when I held another pastor
ate: Young man, we noticed you max
ing fun Of an old man who passed you
on the street last evening. His old
fashioned clothes amused you, and you
even laughed at his awkward limp His
eyes we're Watery and dim and his face
was Wrinlxled and his hair and beard
uneombed. Perhaps you didn't know
that 90 years ago that old fellow was a
broad shouldered, erect, handsome man,
the pride of the town in which he lived
and the hero of all feminine learts.
He IS weak now, but in those days he
coulu nave picked you up, tied you into
knot ana tossed you over the fence
with little more effort than you used
when you laughed at him. He vas
honest, industrious, and brought no
pang Of sorrow to the hearts of his par
ents, who two score years ago he laid
| away to their long sleep In the quiet
village cemetery. He married a sweet
faced girl who had been his childhood
playmate, and two babies came to bless
their home. The lads were stalwart,
honest, laughing chaps of IS when the
nag was fired upon at Fort Sumter
me father and two sons answered the
first call and fought shoulder to
glory Of the stars and stripes. At Bull
Run the boys fell. with their faces
toward the foe, to rise no more; and
the father, crippled for life. returned to
the stricken home and broken-hearted
mother, and she too, in a few months.
Joined the boys on the other shore.
Despite his wounds of heart and body
he has still found time to do good in
the world. He has lived an upright life
and his name did not go on the pension
rolls until age and dimness of eyesight
kept him out of the workshop. This, in
brief, is the history of the old man you
laughed at. If you live one-half the life
he has, when you come to join the ST.
lent majority you will be entitled 70

Does this country. need a national de-
partment of health2 This question was
by TAR the most important and certainly
1t was OF the most general interest of all
those discussed during the summer
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science. which
has Just closed in Cornell university
The initiative in the discussion was ia
ken by Professor ]. Pease Norton, of
the department of economics of Yale
Professor Norton maintains that the
wastes from disease in the United
states have become so great as to make
a national department OF health a ne
cessIty. There are indeed four wastes
which are the more lamentable because
they are unnecessary. They are pre-
ventable death, preventable sickness,
preventable conditions of low physical
and mental efficiency, and preyentable
Ignorance. One million Ave hundred
thousand persons. must die in the Uni
TED states dering the next six months.
-Four million TWO hundred thousand per-
sons viii be constantly sick At least
i've million homes consisting of 25,-
100000 persons will be made more or
less wretched by mortality and NOR
bidity
= We look in horror on the Black
Plague of the Middle Ages, yet it was
a mere passing cloud compared to OF
own White Waste. It is reasonably GER
tain that of the people living today over
eight millions will die of tuberculosis,
but not hand is raised by the federal
millions must die of diseases of the
heart and eight millions of pneumonia,
but not a wheel of the Official meehin-
cry at Washington is set in motion for
their cure. and the event is accepted by
the American population with as resign
ed q mien as the Hindoos show in await
ing the day of the cholera.-Harper

SLEUTH IN A FIX.
Minneapolis Detective Is Charged
With Extortion.

Minneapolis, June 2.-Pretty country
maiden, detective, and a sun
burned farmer, intrigue, divorce pro
ceedings and midnight shadowing al,
the ingredients in the case of the State
against Thomas j. Coleman now being
tried before Judge Brown and a jury in
the district court.
1t is alleged that Coleman extorted
cash and note which together amount
ed to 500 from William Pencille, q
farmer living near Rochester, as con
dition of suppressing evidence which
Coleman claimed to have regarding inn
proper relations existing between Pen
ellie and one Louis Olkers.
The examination by the state and tn,
cross examination by Attorney Board
man brought out the claim on the part
of PencilIe that he had come up to Min
neapois in response to letters sent by
Louise Olkers, and that he met her al
the postoffice in Minneapolis.
Upon her suggestion, he says, they
went to a lodging house in order to have
an opportunity to discuss evidence il
respect to a divorce action pending be
tween PenciIe and his wife, which ac
ton had been instituted by Mrs. Pen
ellie.
While in room in the hotel, and reg
istered as husband and wife, witness al
leges Coleman and Mrs. Coleman came
down and the former threatened hin
with imprisonment and exposure.
He says that he paid 5000, and was
then told that Coleman had been Offered
$1,000 by the attorneys of Mrs. Pen
ellie for the evidence which he had prom
Used to suppress for 5000. This he con
tended was not fair, says Mr.. Pencille
and he further emphasized his argument
by saying that if the lawyer for Mrs
Pencille knew of the affair he would &C
right up over the MOON"
Pencille then says ne gave his note
for 500 more.
