1t seems much like sacriege to read
Of people discussing the cost Of saving
souls on the basis CT the dollar. The
expense of a religious society for year
Is a certain amount, the number Of adj
ditions to the church Is so great, there
fore the cost per soul is secured by d.
viding the total cost Of the religious
plant by the number Of converts. II
this were a logical way to reason then
the next step should follow: AS the
expense per soul is so great, therefore
the churches should all be closed up
because Of the wasteful and uneconOnl-
ical way of running them. If the usual
theory Of the evangelical churches Is to
be believed. then the cost Of human
salvation must be reckOned in some
thing dearer than dollars and cents. II
the work Of the churches were to be
measured by the number Of new con-
verts each year, then failure would be
written in large letters above every
meeting house door. Twenty five
cent converts. dollar converts. or $1,000
converts. coming by the thousands,
would not much modify the position
which the churches hold ia the social
scheme. For. after all the talk of the
failure Of the church to reach the work
ingmen. or men in general: after all
the suggestions that women alone arr
much Influenced by religious appeals L.
Is a fact as patent as human life itself
that the church stands before the world
as the advocate of the right and the
good. and thousands who never darken
its doors or add their names to the
membership rolls believe in it, respect
its teachings. and look to its leaders for
help and stimulus in times Of human
need. There are many ministers, in
deed, who do not hesitate to preach
that there are thousands of people who
rightfully belong in the Kingdom Of
God" as they call 1t. who yet never
unite with any church AMI so are not
saved according to the cash scale
suggested by study Of the cost Of scul
saving. There are thousands Of others
whose membership is in churches where
admittance comes in infancy, and If all
these were counted it Is likely that the
number Of residents Of Chicago who
respect the church and are influenced
in greater or less degree by the teach
ings which are behind the church
would be shown to be large When
the Salvation army representative said:
You cannot put into figures the good
we do he really furnished motto
for all religious workers. The saliva
ton Of souls is an important element
in the work of the churches. 1t by no
means measures the good that they do.

The secret of Boiling Water.

To boil anything well it is not nee
essary to boil it hard. The average
kitchen servant thinks that the more
commotion in the water the hotter it
is, and in order to produce this she
burns great deal of fuel and ruins the
stove by keeping it red hot. Water
placed in stewpan directly over Il rcd

thirty successful business men and find
that all of them when boys had been

.SCOTTY'S LOST
MULE LOCATED
sLlM's OWNER ENGAGES PASSAGE
FOR HIM
Millionaire Miner Will Make Trip to
Death Valley, Then Hurry to
Seattle for His
Debut

Scotty's mule, Slim, has been found.
After three days search in the vicin-
ity of Barstow the much talked of ami
NAL was found grazing with several
other relatives in the arroyos surround
ing the desert town.
The discovery of Slim was immedi-
ately communicated to Rol King, pro-
prietor of the Hollenbeck bar and
financial manager of the millionaire
miner.
Following the receipt of the first tel
egram Scotty wired to Mr. King for
information regarding the steamship
rates for Slim from San Pedro to
Seattle.
Following that telegram a third came
asking what the steamship fare for
Slim and an understudy would be be-
tween the same points. Mr., King I'M
mediately communicated with the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company and
wired Scotty.
1t is not known definitely what role
this second mule will depict in "Scotty,
the King of the Desert Mine" will be,
but it is supposed that the second
animal will be Sims understudy.
Until then the mule will be booked for
passage from San Pedro to Seattle as
a pack mule, property of the "Scotty,
the King of the Desert Mine," com
pany.
First to Death Valley
Aside from the three kilograms from
Scotty yesterday, Rol King has heard
nothing from his protege. So far as is
known, says Mr.. King, Scott will now
depart for his mines in Death valley.
The trip will occupy fully twenty days,
and if Scotty does not meet with mis-
fortune or possible death at the hands
of several persons who are said to be
to Co. L. .k,.ta
aire miner will barely reach Seattle in
time for the opening night of his show.
HAS Scott had time to learn his
lines for the play?" was asked Mr..
King yesterday.
"Scotty learn any lines!" laughed Mr..
King. ''Why, you couldn't make
Scotty study any lines, and Mr.. Taylor,
the manager of the company. knows
that Scott was asked once to study
his lines and he replied:
Studies No Lines
"Linesl Don't let anything like that
worry you. When 1t comes time for me
and Slim we'll be right there and de-
liver the goods. Well know our lines.
Wen know all the cues and Wen come
in at the right time. Don't you fret.
Slim will know his part and / know

With that speech Manager Taylor of
the company dropped the matter, and
has since had to predict what Scotty
would do and hold rehearsals with the
other, members Of the company with
out the star.
In letter to Rol King recently Mr..
Taylor stated that he had arranged for
bunch of surprises and details that
would rouse the residents of Seattle
to pitch of excitement never before
known in that city. Charles Taylor
will not reveal details. He merely says:

PUTS SLEUTHS

SEQUEL TO THE ARREST OF A
CHIcAGoAN
Detectives Roberds and Kinder Take
Alleged EmbezzIer While Out on
Bond, Involving Contempt
Proceedings

Detective Grant Roberds and a Chi
cago detective, Kinder, will face
charges of contempt of court before
City Justice Austin today.
Charges OF incompetency will also be
filed before the police commission
against Roberds.
Attorney Earl Rogers is the author
ity for the above statements.
These grave charges will be filed, ac-
cording to Mr.. Rogers, as the result
of the arrest of John Schumacher on
suspicion last evening.
Schumacher was arrested some time
ago by the police and was released on
a writ of habeas corpus. Schumacher
was arrested again on charge of en-
bezzlement and was released on $500
bail.
The mans trial was set for today.
Collecting agents followed Schu-
macher through three police courts in
Chicago and failed to make their cases
stick, according to the information re-
ceived last evening. An indictment for
embezzlement was brought against
Schumacher but through some manner
it was not acted on.
Schumacher came to Los Angeles.
He engaged in the manufacture of
stucco. His arrest followed.
Since his release Schumacher has
been on his ranch. When he came to
town last evening he was arrested.
