MONEY AND ITS USES.
Sermon Last Evening by Rev. John
Lee Allison

Money and Its uses was the subject dis
cussed in a sermon last evening by Rev.
John Lee Allison. pastor of the Gunton
Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church. 14th
and r streets northwest. The Idea that
l. is a sin to be rich he held was entirely
wrong, just as the idea that to be poor is
a virtue In itself is wrong
That men should live merely for the pur-
pose of making money he declared to be
deplorable thing. Money should not rule
man. but should be used merely for the
betterment of man. An incorrect relation
between man and money he believed has
beer established in this country where
commercialism Is paramount.
He said If the allegation that the Ameri-
can people are the most wastefui on e.rth
Is true, 1t Is a serious one and worthy of
consideration, since It ts the duty of the
possessor of money to use it in the way
that will bring about the accomplishment
of the most good.
The fact that Americans are the wealth
lest people in the world per capita, he
said. placed upon them very grave re-
sponsihility. Missions, he held, were in
cleasing in number. but not in proportion
to the amount of wealth In this country.

BoTTLERs ON STRIKE
TROUBLE WITH EMPLOYERS OVER
THE WAGE SCALE.

The union bottlers of beer and soft drinks
In this city are on strike today. This step
was decided upon. 1t is said. after con-
ference with the boss bottIers had failed
to arbitrate the strained relations between
employers and employees. When the men
quit work Saturday night 1t was announced
IS a wal.-out.
Work at the several bottling establish
ments here was practically at standstill
today. and the strikers held meeting and
decided to stand firm and not return to
work until the new contract Is signed.
This contract is said to call for more pay,
shorter work hours and other considera-
lions. 1t is said that about six bottling
establishments are affected and between
100 and $50 workmen.. The bottlerS. in the
local breweries are not included In the
strike order and are still at work.
The proprietorS of the bottling establish
ments also held meeting today to con-
slider the situation and communication
that they have received from the Washing
ton brewers This letter states In effect
that the members of the Brewery Workers
Union have demanded that the local brew
cries decline to further serve with beer
the bottling houses whose employees are on
strike. In the event that the brewers do
not heed the injunction Of the brewery
workers a general strike of all the work
ers employed in the breweries Is threatened,
which would result in a te-up of the en-
tire local beer trade. 1t is said.
1t rumored this afternoon that the
local breweries had reached the decision not
to serve the bottlers until they had signed
the contract with the Journeymen Bottlers'
Union. This report. could not be verified.
however. 1t is said that the bottled beer
situation is still further complicated by the
fact that the Washington agencies of some
of the out-of-town brewing companies are
unable to obtain shipments of beer that
have been sent to them by the home brew
cries. and that several train loads of the
bottled goods now tied up between this
city and Milwaukee and st. Louis.
The strike that was entered upon today
makes the fourth now In progress in this
city-the printers. horseshoers, plumbers
and bottlers.

lesson From the Rntternr.

4 naturalist one day was studying
cocoon, in which a butterfly was
struggling to be free. He heard 1t
beating against the sides of it's little
prison, and his heart went out in pity
for the helpless creature.
Taking a tiny lancet he cut away
the fragile walls and released the lit
tie captive. But to his amazement it
was not the beautiful creature that
he had expected to see. 1t lay strug-
Cling upon the table. unable to walk,
unable to fly, a helpless, unloyely OBJ
iect. In place Of the gorgeously coll
ored wings that he had expected TO
see, were weak, shriveled members.
What was the matter with this
creature that should have been so
fair? The prison gates had been
opened too soon, the obstacle had
been removed before the struggler
had developed sufficiently through
struggling to be ready for its glorious
flight into the sunshiny skies and
among the perfumed flowers. o God,
when the walls seem to close about
us, when we struggle and agonize to
be free, when Thou dost not cut away
the barriers, is 1t not because, in
Thine infinite wisdom, Thou dost see
that we are weak and dost want us to
become strong? Then at last, when
the struggle Is finished, like the but
te.hy, we may come forth, not per-
haps, in glorious robes of splendid
colors as it is, but in the everlasting
robes of righteousness.-C Christian
Observer.

Small Rarnyards Best.

From an economic standpoint most
barnyards are too large. The loss of
fertility is far greater IN large than
a small one. This loss is not so no.
ticeable in newly setcled fertile sec
tions of the country rs in States east
of the Mississippi River, where the
once fertile land has been robbed of
its organic matter. Thousands of
farmers lose every year in keeping
their stock in large yards during the
feeding season enough fertility to
equal in value ton or more of the
most expensive fertilizer. If the yard
is large with high, dry place at one
side, the stock will congregate there
and the richest droppings are lost by
being trampled in and mixed with
the soil, unless the surface soil is all
hauled to the field, which it would
often pay to do. Many yards extend
to a creek or are located on a hill
side, from which the loss is very
heavy, unless the washings extend
over Il pasture or cultivated field.
The better plan is to make the yard
as small as possible consistent with
convenience and also have it protect
ed with roof to great extent. The
saving of fertilizer and promotion of
the comfort of the animals will pay
large annual Interest on the invest
ment.-The Epitomist.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

The following true story is de-
scriptiye OF an incident that happened
in villGse in Suffolk, England;
a husband had gone out for the
evening and left his wife and child
- home. The woman was about to
retire for the night when to her
amazement she perceived the foot OF
a man beneath the bed.
Instead of calling for assistance, as
some would have done. she coolly
went to the child's cot and sat and
sang till the child fell asleep. Two
hours then remained before her hus-
band came in lie was surprised to
find her waiting up, but when his
wife handed him an envelope, saying,
you might run and post this" the
cause of her waiting was revealed.
Instead of letter the following
was written on the envelope; "a
burglar is under our bed; run, fetch
police" The husband returned in a
few minutes with a policeman, ana
the man was arrested. The burglar,
when brought up before the magis-
trate, remarked that he had come
across a few brave women In his
time, but this one must have had a
nerve like iron, for she sat there for
three solid hours. He had the inn
preston that she didn't know he was
there till the policeman pulled him

Peach YeIlows.

When the Connecticut Legislature
enacted law few years ago maxi
ing 1t compulsory upon those who
owned peach trees to cut and burn all
that were affected by the yelIows 1t
was opposed by many as a useless
expense, and even some of the peach
growers thought such action could
not save the other trees in the or
chards or near them, while a few de-
MED that the disease was contagious
or that diseased trees were a menace
to other trees Yet, If we may Judge
by the reports in the Connecticut pa
pers the action produced as good
results as its advocates hoped for.
Old peach orchards were saved and
the planting of new orchards encour-
aged, so that they now boast OF 4
peach crop unprecedented in quantity
or quality in the history of the State.
1t should encourage the planting of
peach trees in other places. Eastern
Massachusetts once produced peaches
in abundance, but this disease killed
many OF the trees, and as farmers did
not know how to save them they
failed to set any more, until there are
but few neighborhoods where even
enough are grown by any one for
family use and none for market. Yet
the soil and the climate have not
changed since the days when farmers
had to feed peaches to their pigs af-
ter their families and neighbors had
eaten all they wanted.-Boston Cul-
tivator

This is something new under the

Is an old question. Perhaps the
gods may" said Plato to Socrates.
II do not know answered the philos-
opher. DR.. Austin Phelps tells us
that when John Eliot, the apostle to
the Indians" first preached to the
Nipmucks. at Nonantum, the Christian
theory of the forgiveness OF inJur-
les. a grunt of incredulous derision
ran round the circle OF his hearers as
they sat before him on their launches.
"The moral intuitions' of Nipmuck
culture knew better than that. All

20 Judge by the almost universal prac-
tice of the world. It required a
revelation from heaven. and a living
example of forgiveness under mos.
awful circumstances, to place the
theory Of the duty of forgiveness of
our enemidb on even a dehatable
platform before the minds of men.
And then it requires a revolution In
human nature to make the theory a
real fact in the hearts and lives OF
men and women. DR.. X. w. Dale says
a pretty hard word in this: Many
Christian men have given a new
turn TO an old text. In their own
private r. " of the New Testament
they read, 'Whosoever speaketh
word. or committieth wrong, against
God, it shall be forgiven him; but
whosoever speaketh word, or COM
mitteth a wrong, against Me. 1t shall
not be forgiven him. The New
Testament teaching is clear and
positive, as our Daily Readings show,
as to the duty of forgiveness OF
others; of holding no grudges; of
seeking no revenges. Christians shall
not behave like pagans.
