A CASE OF THEFT CALLING
 FOR AN EXAMPLE.

A band of Ute Indians have stolen a wagon load of four from the gov ernment out in Wyoming. Every loyal American will give thanks that a couple of regiments of soldiers are in the vicinity. Crimes of this char acter in this country, when commit ted by untutored, ignorant savages, should meet with swift and drastic punishment Their work is alto gether too coarse.
 Without even incorporation papers for their authority these benighted redskins actually made the driver stop his horses and helped them selves to enough provision to escape starvation few days longer. In no detail of the crime was the standard set up by 300 beniicent trusts main tained. The Indians even violated the ethics of Standard Oil so far as to leave the driver his wagon. After certain of our richest men have spent the better part of their lives in devising a refined system to plum der the public treasury and rob the people of billions of dollars to have a lot of heather Indians upset all of its preeedents and steal flour in the primitive manner they did is exas- perating. Poor Lo' even failed to prepare for appeal to the Supreme court.

Signed Private Ownership"
 The people will learn in due time that there is vast difference be- tween conducting great public ser vice enterprises like our railways. for the purpose of securing dividends for stockholders, instead of running them for the good service needed by the people. Under governmental ownership there would not be any competition to see which road would make the shortest time between certain large centerS or population, and everything pertaining to the service would be of the most sub stantial as well as the latest i'm proved devices to insure safety to both passengers and employees, re- garGless of expense.
 Neither would employees be per mitted to work over time, or until exhausted and dead on their feet" for lack of sleep. thus endangering the lives of passengers and crews.
 In this day of grasping greed it makes vast difference whether roads are run for the money they can be made to make or for the good service they can render.

 Solomon Lanham had been to Kansas City with two cars of steers and was returning home to Oklahoma Thursday ou No. , He was iu the smoking room of the rear deeper with another passenger and they were telling "wAr stories" A third man eu tered the sleeper at Topeka and after lunch they all three re- engaged m conversation aboul lhe war, which was continued until the train arrived at Emporia.
 .'Ai the battle of Nashville, which was fought in December, lS6+. my brigade was ordered to charge. said Comrade sol. "We were going up hill at a lively clip when we came to an old fashioned stake and ridered' rail fence. l was on the top rail when a rebel shell exploded over our heads. A piece of it cut gash across my breast 10 the bone and I fell of the fence as good as dead. My old buuky- we had messed and slept anu fought to- gether for three years -got hit in the head. Waen came to | raised myself on my elbow and not ten feet from me was my bunky. He was on his back. blood was streaming down his face, which was as pale as death. Poor Jliu was as dead
 You're a damned liar. Sol. 7 exclaimed thecomrade who got on ag Topeka. "Sol. you old fool. you are dead. I came 10 pretty soon after l Was hit and looking around saw you as dead AS you ever will be. saw you die Sol"
 and they fell onto each other and they hugged and they cried while the other fellow he cried too. Where are you going Jlmf" said Sol. Going 10 c :. rado. No you are not. You are going home with me.r And thus did Comrades Sol Lanham and James Sauderson meet forty two years after the war.

A pHENo1ESAI. GROWTH.

The St Louis Post-Dispateh speak ing of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy's retirement and the progress made by Christian Science, says
 '.It has had phenomenal growth. In the brief forty years since the publication of Science and Health. 900 Christian Science churches have been built. including a Sl.000, GOO edifice in New York City and a Ss. .00O, ,00O Mother Church" in Bos- ton. The movement has gained a firm footing in England and in Europe. The vogue of its doctrines within the lifetime of the founder has been extraordinary.
 But apart from these direct and tangible results. the teachings of Mrs. Eddy have influenced modern spiritual thought more deeply than any religious propaganda of the time and have not been without effect even in medical practice. 1t is only since Mrs. Eddy led the way that the doctrine of disease as an outward expression of sin could be preached in orthodox pulpits or an Episcopal bishop advocate a return to healing through faith, while in the treatment of nervous affections and other dis .ases it has put modern pathology under obligations not al- ways frankly acknowledged"
