ST. LOUIS QUEER CHURCH
Without Preaching, Choir or Collec-
tons-St. Louis Man viii Build
1t and Maintain 1t

Special to The Herald,
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. ga church
where men and women of all creeds
and faiths may worship God in the
simplest form imaginable, where there
will be no preaching, no choir, no rit-
ual, no ceremony and no collection
plate; where all the pews will be free,
and only automatic music from cleo
trically operated chimes and pipe organ
will be heard--such is the church that
DR.. August Schmidt a German physi-
clan, will build and maintain at his
own expense in South st. Louis.
Dr. Schmidt'S conviction of what con-
two years of mental and spiritual tor
ment from a voice" urging on him
countless sins and crimes and prom
Using him immunity from punishment
or suffering as a consequence.
Nightly he strove against this
voice." praying and reading his Bible,
till finally, he says, he was made to
understand that the Bible was inspired
by both God and the devil, the latter
being responsible for the parts in con-
tradiction to the divine messages. The
devil exercises hypnotic influence over
the souls of sinners, and In many cases
they are unable to resist his tempta-
tions and are for that reason absoived
by God from all responsibility for their
deeds the penalty of which must be
paid by Satan himself.
After death the souls of the entirely
wicked are dissolved in the soul of
Satan, thereby increasing his power
and his punishment.

Ebony Is second best and II he gets
away from the post with the leaders
he will be hard to beat, but It Is prob
able that his long retirement will make
him stale.
Hippocrates is IN light and should go
well. El Otros is also one dangerous
consideration.
However. the result should be GiIpih,
Hippocrates, lei Otros.
Valencia, Money Muss and Don Domo
will do some tan scrambling for first
honors In the fifth race and either may
win, but nothing else has much Of a
chance.
Valencia is very speedy and is in
light. She is also right on edge now,
but It is improbable that she will be
good enough to beat Money Muss or
Don Domo.
Money Muss is rounding TO and
should have no trouble In beating the
gray ghost to the wire.
Don Domo will surely be as good as
second and has a royal chance to beat
the others to the wire II racing luck
breaks unusually good for him.
The finish should be In this order:
Money Muss, Don Domo, Valencia.
Sad Sam is so quick In breaking into
his stride and so speedy that he should
get the verdict In the final event.
Golden Buck will be thereabouts at
the finish and If Sad Sam quits before
the end this one may get the verdict.
Willie Gregg should be third horse at
the finish Sun Mark will not go to the
post, in all probability, but should be
the contender'if he does.
The finish may be Sad Sam, Golden
Buck, Willie Gregg.

PHoNoGRAPHCURES LAzINESS
Everybody Works but Father" Too
Much for Dad to Stand, So
He Labors, Too

CHICAGO, Jan. 26,--Martin Stem
strup of this city has gone to work.
To the lay mind this may seem UNI
important, but wait. Some years ago
Stenstrup was an interior decorator,
but after he had been out on several
strikes he became SO much attached
to the habit of doing nothing that he
made a hobby of 1t. Meanwhile the
family exchequer languished and Mrs.
Stenstrup found 1t incumbent upon
her to go out and solicit work at
scrubbing floors In order that the lit
tie Strenstrups might eat and be
clothed. She earned go cents for each
hard nights work scrubbing in a big
office building.
All this time Strenstrup was at home
smoking and reviling the monopolists.
Finally Mrs. Stenstrup purchased a
photograph with one record, which he
roically ground out that one master
piece:
Everybody works but father;
He sits around all day.
Stenstrup at last dragged his feet
from their customary place on top of
the little stove and allowed that the
thing was getting on his nerves. Then
he smashed the machine to a thousand
bits, scolded his wife, euffed the kids
and left the house. Today he secured
a steady position.
