INSPECTION OF MEATS
A NEW MEASURE by CRuM.
PACKER, OF INDIANA.
lions 10 h Amendment Of
senator Deveridgc.

Washington, d. C. - Representa-.
tive Crumpackcr, Of Indiana, Thurs.
day. introduced a bill as a substitute
for the Bevoridge meat inspection
amendment placed on the agricultural
Dill IN the senate. The bill defines the
authority which may be vested in the
secretary tf agriculture, so as not to
cont1ict with the police powers of the
state. Provision is made whereby the
secretary Of agriculture may accept
the inspection OF state officers as to
The sanitary condition of packing
houses. Where such state INSPECTION
IL accepted by the secretary feieral
inspection in transit will not be made.
MIR. CrumI acker believes that the
Beveridee amendment, in authorizing
federal INSPECTION of packing houses.
Is a violation of the police powers OF
the state, and that all of the rulings
sustain this position.
Edward Cuiahy, head OF the Cu!ahy
Packing Co. If Omaha, Neb., has writ.
ten members of the Nebraska dele "a.
! In congress protesting against the
Beverldge amendment. He objects to
the provisions compelling the packers
to pay for the inspection, and com.
plains that the bill Is too drastic In
every particular.

Happy Childhood.

Mrs. John. Williams of Falls City
Nebraska gave birth to four boys
last Sunday. The father is not ex-
pected to survive the shock.
A sixteen months old child fell
into a cesspool at Madison and was
drowned in the filth. This should
serve as warning to people with
open top cesspools to dress their
children in diving suits.
A twelve year old boy at Webster
South Dakota shot his two year old
brother dead with a f1obert rife and
fed from home. Parents should
not give their kids guns unless they
consider the family too large.
A three year old child lay down
between the rails in Pennsylvania
at command OF the fireman who
crawled out on the cowcatcher to
save it and the whole train went
over it without hurting it. It's folks
were well pleased and will probably
let it play on the track all the time
now.
In case of fire Sheldon, Iowa,
draYmen are supposed to haul the
hose cart. The first at the engine
house gets the job and money.
Tuesday in a fire rush one of the
drays ran over and badly hurt a
child. Draymen who kill or cripple
children in their haste to make
money should have their bills cut
in two by the council.
A six year old child at Sioux
Falls put four pounds of powder in
the stove while his parents were
gone-to see what it would de but
he couldn't stay to see it. He and
his little brother were blown
through the roof. Folks should
always take the cook stove with
them when they leave the children
at home with key of powder.

Stories of the Week.

If you wish to learn something
about the crops IN the Dakotas this
year you should see Papa" Wright
who just returned from there yes
terday. We sent our interview
man out to see John S. and he
brought back the following:
Talk about the crops out there
why you ought to see 'em. Why,
the wheat crop is so great that it
has made the ground sink down
two feet to sustain it. Hiram Skip
worth, father of three beautiful
daughters, is reported to have Sc
cured all the harvest hands he
needed by the simple expedient Of
paying them 50 a day and per-
hitting each man to kiss each Of
his daughters once daily. Those
who did not want the kisses could
have So day, but it is pleasant to
add that nobody drew more than 81
per diem. However, old LATE Plum
mer, who lives about five miles
down the big road from Skipworth.
got all the harvest hands he needed
also. LATE has but one daughter;
she is 40 years old, angular, freckled
and has an uncertainty in one eye,
besides that her nose is hesltant and
her chin is shy. LATE took the over
flow from SkipwOrth's farm, and
after lur1ng the sturdy harvesters
! to his field he would introduce his
daughter and tell the affrighted
laborers that unless they pitched in
and worked their best he would let
her kiss them. Mr.. Plummer's
fields we're harvested in half the
time that was required at Skip
worth's."

An Editors Hard Luck.

There are always those who will
kick. For instance, if you publish
jokes with wh1skers on them some
will say that you ought TO be in a
lunatic joint. IL you don't print
something to smile at, they say you
are a pessimistic fossil. If you
spead yourself and write a good
original article, they will say it is
stolen. If you reprint an article,
they say you can't write. If you
say deserving word for a man,
you are partial. If you compli-
ment the ladies, the men are
jealous, and if you don't the YER
dict Of the women is to the effect
that your paper is not fit to use
in the construction of hustle.
If you stay in your Office, yon are
afraid to remain on the street; il
you do, you are lazy. If you look
seedy, you are squandering your
money. If you wear good clothes,
you are a dude, and don't pay fo1
them. If you play social game Of
any kind and GET stuck, you are a
fish; if you win, you are tin horn,
and so it goes through one con-
tinual round of pleasant complica-
tons.

the consciousness of his mission
cries: Il am come to send fire on
earth-oh that it were already
kindled" The day of Pentecost
teaches the same lesson ard the last
book of the bible reveals to us
burning before the throne the seven
fold lamps of fire which are the
seven spirits of God, Inaugurated
as the fire bringer! His kingdom a
kingdom of fire! How appropriate
that designation. Fire has two
characteristics purifies and it
destroys. 1t purges gold, it con-
sumes hay and wood and stubble.
1t is the source of light and heat
and it is the destruction of obstacles
and hindering substances.
~
And so it is with the divine fire.
1t had blessed and joyous side as
well as terrible one of judgment
and destruction. All men, all s7s-
TENS, all organizations that have &C
complished anything for the world
have famed with fire. Those who
have moved the world onward have
been men of ardent desires and
warm emotions glowing with the
flame of life. They have been en-
thusiasts and Incorporate in their
zeal and red-hot IN some glorious
cause with so much of the heavenly
fame consuming them as to thaw
reserve and melt torpor and turn
selfishness into conservation and
kindle in other souls blaze of en-
thusiasm and send a confagration
across hemispheres and centuries
like the onward sweep of a prairie
fire. The worlds idea of religion is
decorous GOODNESS. It sits FROST
bitten among the SHOWS of the CEN
turtles. But Christ announces 81
am come TO baptize with fire" and
he puts the torch to the ice houses
of ecclesiasticism not merely to
destroy them but that their con-
tents of CONCEALED water may be
transformed into steam power to
move the wheels of business. What
the churches need today is not
Johns baptism but Christ's. They
need not water but fire. The fire
bringers must expect opposition.
When flames strike ice something
is bound to happen. The fire will
be quenched or the ice will melt
and be transformed Into steam. In
either case there is a great COM
motion. The reformer never has
an easy time IN this world. The
obdurate heart of humanity is
against him and it's cowardly an
swer to his demands is assassina
ton. 1t muzzled Calico and
banished Aristides and stoned the
prophets and murdered Socrates
and crucified Christ. But no great
movement is ever stopped that way.
A confiagratlon was never extin-
guished by killing the man who
struck the match. The author Of
the reform may suffer but his work
can never be destroyed.

SUNDAY SERMON

The baptism of Christ was the
solemn Inauguration ceremony for
his official life. In was the intro
duction to the public ministry, the
heavenly attestation of his ap-
pointed service, the public bestow-
ment of his credentials through the
dove symbol and the voice. He was
indicted into Office appropriately
for however superior Christ was in
nature to John the Baptist the
baptizer was at that moment his
superior in office just as the chan-
cellor or judge who administers the
oath of Office is at that moment the
candidates official superior. Bap-
tism at the hands of John was the
oath of office Of the Messiah, the in
augural ceremony of the kingdom,
the amounting for his priesthood
and kingsLip. But notice that the
administrator of the ordinance at
the very moment of its application
explains that it is only initial, ele-
mentary, significant certainly, but
pointing forward to something in
finitely more valuable and poten-
tial. He says Indeed baptize
with water but he shall baptize
with fire." That is-my baptism is
only an outward cleansing. his will
be an inward, penetrating, search
ing, purging flame that shall burn
up dross and consume rubbish and
utterly destroy evil. That is the
difference between the old dispense
ton and the new.
~
Every man who has done any
notable work in the world has felt
the consciousness of his mission as
a fire in the bones. They could not
languidly dream away their lives in
lazy contemplation. They have
rushed to the battle. That is what
makes men die young. The soul
is in an agony of passion. The
blood is driven with feverish pulsa-
ton, the intellectual nerve is strained
until it sees strange lights. To
taste death for every man causes
the heart to break. All at once on
the banks of the Jordan the fire
which had been banked up and
smouldering in the soul of the Mes
slab burst into a fame and John
saw it and cried out so that all the
ages have heard it. II indeed
baptize you with water but he shall
baptlze with fire." Fire has always
been taken to represent divine
energy. Even in heathenism that
is true. Moloch worship cruel as it
was rested upon the notion that the
swift power and rudy blaze of fire
were symbols of glorious attributes.
The Old Testment is full of it. Alb
raham saw Gods presence in a
burning furnace and a lamp of fire.
Moses beheld the same thing in the
blazing thorn bush of the desert
burning but not consumed. And
when Israel marched out of Egypt
the sacramento host was guided
by pillar of cloud by day and a
pillar of fire by night-a sentinel
