BIBLE IS LOSING AUTHORITY.
Dr.. Lyman Abbott Says People Re

DR.. Lyman Abbott Of New York,
in speaking before the New York
Young Mems Christian association,
said that much Of what has passed
for authority does not satisfy US; that
the Bible is a book does not have the
authority it did in the days OF JOna-

But you cannot prove to an I'M
musical man that music is beautiful,
he said IF q man says he doesn't
believe in honesty, you don't try to
argue with him, but you keep your
hand on your pOcketbOOk- If a man
prefers the character Of Aaron Burr
to that Of Lincoln, it is useless to
argue; that man is morally idiOtic-
Religious truth is like esthetic or ethi-
cal truth-it must be felt rather than
demonstrated

You haven't seen her. Her eyes and
brow you have seen, but it is love, and
patience, and tenderness that makes
a mother. These things you do not
see-yOu feel them We cannot de-
fine God. When we offer you a def
milton we are offering you an idol
and I think you do right in rejecting
that idol"

sales exceeds all records for that
month, except at few points where
weather conditions have been unpro-

ever, stimulates the nervous system to
resist the effect of the poisonous emana-

attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who do

THE PONY
EXPRESS RIDER
"a Tale Of tho Old VEST
BY ARTHUR GOODRICH

A Tale OF tho Old West !

Silence hung heavy In the plaza Of
Santa Fe late one afternoon In 1862.
Suddenly there came clatter OF hoofs,
unsteady with WEAKNESS, scattering
the stiffness with sharp echoes. A
man. coming out at the moment from
one of the low adobe buildings, waved
his hand and the rider drew up short
and stopped.
The two men as they faced each other
were In striking contrast. One stood
with his feet well apart, sinews pulled
tight like wire.rope over his slight
frame. The other, broad shoulders bent
with fatigue, begrimed with dirt, but

sweating, painting beast. They were

seemed TO strike him, for he leaned for

walked slowly to the corral. Half an
hour later odd Harry" Simmons rode
down the plaza. Meanwhile Ralph Mead
was lying sprawled on a narrow bunk
In the corral, sleeping the sleep of sheer
exhaustion.
Ralph Mead had been left fatheress,
motherlcss and peuuiless when he was
II years old. His nearest relatives had
bound him out to a hard-hoaded Con-
necticut farmer who believed in cor
poral punishment for persons smaller
than himself Three months later the
boy Slipped out of the house of his slay-
cry and started west in pursuit Of eX-
