 He said: 'I believe before my God that the first apostle will be vindicated and cleared of the malicious and cruel charges If he is not then may God demolish Zion"
 When DOwie entered the hall the audience arose and sang a hymn Of praise. Ho walked down the center aisle. lowing and uttering God be with thee" For ten minutes. Dowie and the audience prayed together to banish the devil from Zion. Then Dowie told his story to the expectaht people. His entire address was cen tered about the subjects of polygamy and the conduct of his wife. The au- dience was with him in all that he said even when he bitterly disparaged Mrs. Dowie.
 A dramatic incident occurred after Dowie had been speaking about twenty minutes when Mrs. Emma Rapp and her husband arose and faced the apos- tie. The audience craned their necks forward in intense excitement.

 "I lived in your house for a number of years" said the woman. and I want to tell these people here that never was

 When Dowie returned to the hoteI. the special correspondent of the As sociated Press presented him with the following telegram which arrived whe1 his people were making their pledges of loyalty:

day before. Of course, the umpire had to
declare Rasty out in the first game, an give
the game to their opponents. 1t was hard luck,

FINALLY there came game that the manager
OF the Swattburgs wanted to win the worst
way He had a better pitcher than the Larr,1p-
vlles, the nine he had to beat, a better in-field
and better batters. The game looked like a
clnch. II only Rastys Jonah wouldn't work
overtime an spoil everything at a critical
moment.
SO he comes to Rasty the morning of the
game, tells him how most all of Swattburp' :

half tone view of the store of Hard

BILE growth during the past six
years. The Gazette tells the story
Of its growth in the following Ian

Harding & Co. started in busi-

little frame building with a very
small stock. Today they occupy a
floor space of lO0x25 feet in a brick
building, and carry full stock Of
staple lines. There are always rea-
Sons behind growth of this kind,
reasons that can be traced TO the
ability and foresight in buying
goods and directing the policy of
the store. The store carries stan
dard lines of clothing. furnishing
goods. hats and shoes. and each year
sees improvement in facilities for
handling trade. This year new
shelving and showcases were added
