FUEL SITUATION CRITICAL.
SOS = Town in North Dakota Has

Immediate Needs.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE
fuel situation Monday presented the
most critical condition that has ex-
listed in the history Of the state.
Careful inquiry in every portion Of
the northern half OF the state shows
that there is not a town In which
coal can be had except in small
quantities and TO supply Immediate
needs and in dozens of places there
is not a pound to be bought, the
dealers having been out of fuel for
DAYS and in some instances for
week or more. In some towns
schools and lighting and manufacture
ing plants have closed and individ-
uals are sharing their small fuel sup
plies with neighbors.
Linton, N. D., Dec. 17.-No blum
nous coal, nor Ignite has been re-
ceived here for weeks. There is
PLENTY of Ignite at Bismark but II
cannot be gotten here. There is
some anthracite coal here but 1t can
not be used in most of the cook
stoves nor in many Of the heating
stoves. There are no signs of bet
ter condition.

Wisconsin Episcopal Prelats Charged

MISUNDERSTANDING Charles Chap
man Grafton, head of the Episcopal
church in the diocese of Fond du Lac,
Wis, who is charged with heresy by
Rev William Austin Smith, rector of
ST. Paurs Episcopal church in Milwau-
kee, Is one of the foremost high church
men in this country. In letter to the
Living Church, Rev. Mr.. Smith writes:
Zone reads with amazement the let
ter of Bishop Grafton, entitled Prayer

Crapsey), in the Living Church. 1t is
not its panic stricken temper, its wall
against broad churchmen which con-
found 1t is the polytheistic litany
which he borrows from 1914 to put up
on the lips of twentieth century
churchnien.
IF Bishop Grafton will permit the
choice, many of us prefer, if we must
utter pagan prayer, one of those
beautiful petitions of Socrates adj

| spiritual poise.
1T is almost amusing, were it not
tragic, to see an American bishop tum-
bling into heresy while casting missiles
at aeretics and storming heaven in be-
half OF the faith once delivered"

prayers to which Rev. Mr.. Smith OBJ

Bishop Grafton was born in Boston
He began his religious work in Eng
land as an evangelist. He returned to
the United States in 1872 and remained
in Boston, where he was pastor of the
Church of the Advent, until 1888, when
he was elevated to the episcopacy. He
has taken the VOW of celibacy. He be-
! lieves in the Real Presence. He cele-
brates mass i'll a manner very near to
the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic
church and in his own diocese wears
the nitre and other canonicals of a
Roman bishop. He is possessed of a
unique personality and his teachings

Matter of information.

The railroad official, George H. Dan
iels, tells good story on one of the
brakemen of his line. A very fussy,
nervous old woman approached him Oh
the platform before leaving New York
and asked him if his train stopped at
Poughkeepsie. He assured her that it
did. 1t was a local train, making a
score or more of steps on its way UP
the river. At each of these way sta
lions the cd lady sought out THE
brakeman and repeated her anxious
query. About score of times the
brakeman had given the sterectypeH
answer:
Eyes, mum, it does" |
At last the anxious traveller got OF
the brakeman's nerves At about lths

CHAPTER XIV.
ON THE HIGH PLAINS.

Much to Elinor's relief, and quite
as much, perhaps, to Penelope's, Mrs.
Brentwood tired of Breezeland Inn in
less than a fortnight and began to
talk of returning to the capital.
Pressed to give reason for her dis
satisfaction, the younger sister might
have been at loss to account for
1t in words; but Elinor's desire to cut
the outing short was based upon pride
and militant shame. After many trap
settings she had succeeded in making
her mother confess that the stay at
Breezeland was at Ormsby's expense;
and not all of Mrs. Brentwood's petu-
liant justifyings could remove the sting
OF tho nettle of obligation.
There is no reason in the world
why you should make so much Of it:
