a Pharisee OF gracious mien who loved
C: all men to DO seeD, once TO the temple

pray aloud-not to the Father, but 10

viewed with hoIor by the multitude.
A man with overwhelming gall who
answers to the name Mccall, swlped
fifty thousnnd plunks or more belonging
to the widows store, and gave 1t % a
sleek campaign in hopes to add into his
gain. but raised his pious eyes on high
and prayed-and worked graft on the
sly.

serve And ns he prayed his pockets
with wealth secured by schemes

hat non were quite so pure rs he. And
With u nerve sublime he tried to point to

The Fharisee OF oiien time has long

Aged Grave Digger Helps Fill Gene

KOKOMO, Ind, Nov. 2S-The oldest
grave digger in Indiana, Mark Nc
Tigue, sexton of Crown Point ceme-
terry, this city, is dead, aged II years.
He was for forty-one years custodian
Of the cemetery and made with his
own hands all Of the 1000 graves in
the burial grounds. He could instant
ly point out the grave Of every person
inferred, whether the spot was marked
by a monument or left without a
mark of any description.
A few weeks ago McTigue's health
failed, and, knowing that his life work
was done, he requested that his body
be buried with the thousands that he
had buried. His body was inferred
near the center of the grounds on
knoll commanding a full view of
the cemetery. The funeral was the
largest ever witnessed in this locality.

WILD MOB STEALS COAL
Idaho Farmers Sidetrack Whole Train
and Take What They Want
of the Fuel.

PAYETTE, Ida, Nov. 2S.-The coal
famine has become such a serious
prolem at Nyssa, Or, that about $50
citizens gathered at the depot and held
up the coal train over two hours, when
the railroad officials wired the agent
to set out two cars and send the
train on. Sunday night over 200 men
at Ontario went to the depot when the
coal train pulled in, and about half of
them took charge of the conductor
while the others attended to having
four cars sidetracked. When the
same train reached Payette, about 30
men boarded it, but the stop was
short, and the cars had all been pick
ed over before reaching here, so that
only about five tons were secured,
and that was carried away in sacks
and on wheelbarrows. One family has
only been able to get sveral sacks,
and has been burning brush and any
old thing that will burn. Some far
mers have commenced to cut their
fruit trees into fuel. The schools
nave only enough coal to last this
week. Although the dealers cannot
get coal, the P. v. r. has no trouble
to get what it needs.

Plan to Stop Swearing.

In Glassport, Pa. the authorities
have begun campaign against those
who use profane language on the
streets or in public places, and a novel
plan has been adopted, says the Cleve-

been furnished with tablets and pen
ellis to keep tab on all the swear words
and profanity they hear, and a fixed
list of fines has been so arranged as to
make the punishment fit the crime
For mild brands fine Of 40 cents has
been fixed, and for stronger brands the
users will have to pay 81 cents each.
Whether the scheme will have the de.
sired effect remains to be proved.

Extensive Movement Westward
Creates Shortage
ONLY one SHIP AVAILABLE At PRESENT
NEW FLOUR MILLS IN CHINA
HAVE ORDERED $500 TONS
OF GRAIN.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 28.-The
Portland FIGURING Mills company is
negotiating for the transportation of
$500 tons of wheat from Portland to
Shanghai in December. The name of
the steamer sought is not disclosed.
If tonnage was more plentiful, the
officials of the Portland & Asiatic
Steamship company say they would
engage another vessel to carry grain
to the far east next month. The company
has found but one available vessel
suitable for this business, and she is
rather large. This craft is at San Fran
cisco. When fully loaded she draws %
feet, little too great draft for the
Columbia River bar at this season.
There will be only one regular liner
from Portland in December. Enough
freight, chiefly flour, was secured
some time ago to make a full cargo
for her. Many exporters have been
anxious to make additional shipments.
A couple of weeks ago Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., engaged the British
steamship Strathorn to carry wheat
from Portland to China. She will not
be here before the first week in jan
uary. 1t is evident that an unusually
large amount Of grain will be sent
from the Willamette river to the ORR
ent in the next few months, because
exporters say, the new flour mills in
China are getting ready for business.
The theory is advanced that soon but
small shipments of flour will be made
from this coast to the Orient.
The scarcity Of idle tramps prevents
the dispatch of several big calgoes
within the next two or three weeks
The majority of the tramps appear
to be in the lumber trade.

with two men for sixty-fve and q hall
miles farther before the ice conditions
became SO bad that there was no use
in struggling northward any longer
At the end of the ncrthward journey
he could not advance more than mile
q day.
Peary could hardly have encountered
such terrible difficulties last spring,
with mountainous ice ridges and soft
snow, as he did in 1902 or he could
not have made SO great northing over
the ice.
This is doubtless the last Of Peary's
arctic enterprises, and his last work Is
the crowning feature Of remarkable
series Of achievements. he will be
ranked among the few great leaders in
polar endeavor Excepting tor the
breaking up Of the ice, which destroy
ed his hope OF reaching the pole. his
expedition seems to have been remark
ably favored by fortune.
He threaded the ice choked Smith
sound channels last summer and took
his vessel back through them this sea-
son. feat that has never been achieved
but once before in SO short time, and
that was by the Proteus when she took
the Greedy party north and returned
in the same season. He succeeded in
reaching the land base he sought, and
in spite Of the terrible perils his party
met he Is bringing every man back
home. He has been away only fifteen
months, and he has the highest north
ing made in any part Of the arctic to
his credit.
Most prominent among Peary's earli-
er geographical achievements are his
two journeys over the Ice cap of
Greenland, which have been regarded
as in the highest class Of sledge work
his determins ton Of the northern ex-
tension Of the inland ice, his outlining
of a part Of the northern coast of
Greenland, his exploration of the archi-
pelago to the north Of it, his discovery
Of the most northern known land, Cape
Morris Jesup, and his chronological work
among the Smith sound highlanders.
He has now added more new land. as
his dispatch speaks Of land he saw to
the north of Grant Land.

bottom by the expulsion of six stu
dents because of a threatened suit for
breach Of promise by a young woman
Of Oberlin.
Recently the girl, through her attor-
neys, asked a prominent student to
pay her several hundrd dollars and
thereby avoid suit. The student asked
the attorneys to go to five other stu
dents, who, he said. had also wooed the
girl.
Some have promptly settled. Three
have engaged attorneys to fight the
threatened suit.
AS a counter move the attorneys laid
the story before the Oberlin faculty
The faculty at once expelled every
one Of the six students involved and
then tried to hush up the affair.
