Things Better Than Riches

I'd be d country editor and chase around for news, before I'd be a millionaire with wealth 1 could not use; I'd rather be a printer with patches on my brooches, than q master of f. nance with all my thoughts on riches. I'd rather eat my mod est meals digest the same with ease, than to sit down to aroval fast with d stomach like John D's.

What F. M. Murphy expects.

A Washington special sent to the Arizona Republican by F. M. Murphy, is as follows:
 I expect to see Oklahoma and the Indian Territory admitted as one state some time the com ing week. The Indications now are, Arizona and New Mexico will be given a referendum vote at the regular territorial elec- tion, each territory voting sep aratcly.
 Many important bills have been seriously effected by the de- lay in disposing of the state hood question and the parties interested in their passage are making the most strenuous ef- forts to bring about comprom- ise. IfSpeaker Canon continues to refuse to accept the proposl- tion of a referendum for Arizona and New Mexico, the senate will probably insist on the Burrows amendment eliminating those territorits altogether

Church. as just announced was attended ~

Of the Northern Presbyterian churches OF KAN

doctrines OF the two denominations are not es-
sentially direrent.
DR.. Carter recently refused call from the
church TO which he Is now going. The second
call IS 20 be accepted. he says. not because OF
increased salary He says he was unwilling 70
leave the church in Kansas City until all debts
upon It had been paid. and that difficulties
which confronted his church there when ne re-
eelved his first call had since been cleared away
he gives three seasons for acceptance.
First is what ne terms the prOvidential char
acter OF il and the manner In which IL was
brought about When he was in New York
a delegate 70 the Christian Endeavor COnven-
ton last February he was assigned TO the pulpit
Of another church and subsequently reassigned
70 the Madison Avenue Reformed Church as
substitute. Had he not been reassigned ne
would not have preached there and would prob
ably not have received the call. The second OF
the reasons given is that Of enlarged OppOrtu-
mites for work in the new field, and the third
the fact that the church in Kansas City has
reached such point that he feels he can
leave It.
After DR.. Carter announced his decision TO
