 The main theme of the sermon was that man must look at himself That is what the prodigal did. It was in this connection that he said that Montgom. erians did not know their own to~xn, and told of questionable resorts that he had heard Of during his stay in the city. He pointed out that Montgorner~ was not the good town that 1t I1ad thought itself and that the citixsna were simply decefving themselves knowingly or would not see.

THE BiNGWLLE RUGLE n
Is the Leading Paper Of tbs County
BRIGHT, BREEZY, BELLIC0SE, BUsTLIFG

Some time in April there was a city
chap stopped in this vicinity for a few
days looking over some lumber tracts
and while he was here he had the city
paper sent to him every day After he
had left there was a copy come and as
a result remained in the P. O. uncalled
for Eph Higgins said he couldn't send
the paper 10 whoever It was addressed
to being as he didn't know where the
party was and he calkilated as a rep
resentative of the government he didn't
have any right 10 send it anyhow if he
understood the postal regulashions,
which he thinks he does. and which saws
that newspapers cannot be forwarded
without extra postage onto them.
Well, Eph he got tired seeing that
newspaper in one Of the pigeon holes
of the P. Q. waiting TO be called for and
so last Tuesday when Eph was outen
reading matter and didn't have any
thing else to do he opened that paper
in his capacity of Postmaster assuming
all responsibilities for same. After he
had glanced through il he brought il to
the Bugle office to let US read it being
as he thought perhaps we could get
something outen it ht to print in the
Bugle and we did It was full of news
but the most important piece in it was a
acct Of big Peace Conference held
in the interests Of international peace
in New York The paper says there was
representatives from most all the war
like nashions on earth present and also
Andy Carnegie who has acquired con-
siderable notoriety By giving away
books 10 persons who would otherwise
remain in ignorunts.
The objeckt OF this conference as we
understand it is to make some arrange
ments whereby the nashions OF the
world will not go to war with each
other when they feel like it, but on the
other hand will submit 10 arbitrashion
as a means Of preserving peace. In other
words the object is 10 have war instead
OF peace.
The Bugle is big in for this. In fact
in Our capacity as editor s, prop. s.
tvpesetter. s, advertising manager 6.
pressman and everything else Of the Bu-
gle we thought of this before Andy Car
negie did. We would always ruther see
large peace than a big war 1t amt 50
diSasterOus.
1t is a good cal better for a citizen
of the United States to remain at home
follering the even tenner of his way, as
you might say, than for him to go to
war in order TO save his country and
come back home with a wood leg or,
which is much worse, in a wood box.
There is a good cal more satisfackshion
in being a live chump than there is in
being a dead hero-a live chump has
more fun in this world than dozen
dead heroes.
When the Spanish War broke out we
was big in for going to war. We heard
our country calling us, as it were. Like
Il Putnam we felt like dropping our
tools and rushing TO the front where
the bullets flew thickest. We wanted to
smell powder and march bravely be-
hind the stars 6 stripes, but we are
glad now that we remained at home.
We consider that we can do much more
good in this world by debating public
oolicy in Bingville and moulding pub.

It's Dangerous

Jed Peters, our intelligent teacher hss
a new tangled razor by mail
which is called a safe'y razor. Jed paid

this razor says It IS called g safety razor
because you can shave yourself with Il
without cutting yourself, but from all
accts. this is merely s matter Of opinion.
The first time Jed tried to shave with Il
he took a chunk outen his chin and
shaved of a wart on his upper lip which
bled so that he thought he would bleed to
death before he could get II stopped.
Jed says the wart is a good riddance.
but as FOR cutting his chin he could allus
do that with his old fashioneu razor.
