Old Story, rev enu,.,y.

The trains-both going at express
speed-were coming together, head on.
The young girl saw the danger. For
an instant she hesitated. Then she
snatched off her red petticoat and
waved it frantically.
The trains stopped, just in the nick
of time. Thus far all was well.
But now the passengers alighted and
pressed forward and stared at her in
credulously.
Can it be you don't know that a
red petticoat is about as Impossible as
anything you can wear?" they de-
manded.
Whereupon they laughed derisiyely
and went their way.-Puck.

NO DOUBT ABOUT TT

The News does not know what the
verdict OF the jury in the trial at Boise
will be. But there is one thing we do
know. The attempt by Attorney
Richardson OF the defence to scout the
idea that there is or ever has been any
reason for laying the assassination CT
Ex-Governor Steunenberg at the door Of
the Western Federation is not in accord
ance with the facts. Is Frank Steunen-
berg the first man supposed to have
been murdered by or at the instigation
OF the Federation Not by a whole
lot. 1t was because of this very fact,
because the Western Federation of
Miners had murdered and assassin tied;
had kept hired thugs, and created a
reign OF terror wherever it had had
control, that the shadow of guilt was
cast over them when the bomb blew
Frank Steunenberg into eternity. The
act was in keeping with the policy OF
the Federation, and the utterances OF
its members, and the printed express
sions OF its leaders in the official organ,
in which the death of Steunenberg.
In horrible method employed, was
gloated over. In the public mind
there is no doubt to day SO far as the
question of motive is concerned. The
Western Federation, judged by their
record, was not one whit to good to
have done the deed, and rejoiced
when it was done. There was mo-
tive for it, and the past of the Miners
Union plainly shows that that organiza-
ton was not above such deed. HAY
wood may not be found guilty by the
jury but in the hearts of the people he
is guilty. The verdict may be against
the state but in the minds of a great
majority OF the American people the
Western Federation Of Miners is re-
sponsible for the murder of Frank
Steunenberg. There is already too
much blood upon the hands of this
organization for Attorney Richardson to
rise up and plead their innocence on
the ground that their guilt is unreason-
able. And il they are not convicted
this time it will not be the first time
the Federation has escaped the clutches
OF the law.

PAINFUL PIETY.

The following, under the above cap
ton, is taken from The Christian Re-
public and submitted to our readers by
Rev. J. H. Martin:
Wanted religion that can swim,
skate, play ball, tennis, row a boat,
sing, laugh, enjoy life in every bright,
wholesome way. We have made re-
ligion oppressive, Oppressive, repres-
sive, and surely expressive of any feel
ing except painful seriousness. Our
religion lacks rich, red blood, tense
vigorous muscle, a strong, regular pulse.
Our church papers appeal mainly to
children OF tender years, and old peo-
pie OF years even more tender. The
gap between the nursery and the chair
in the chimney corner, which shoule
mean life, power, tireless energy,
boundless enthusiasm, is left untitled,
and our young people are not being
taught that religion means a preparation
for few and that at its best.
The phylacteries of this day are alb
nomal somemnity, foolish ssceticism,
empty traditions, needless self-denial
Why not tell the young of our church
es and Sunday schools that religion
brightens the eye, lightens the heart,
and brings to life its richest enjoyments1
What we need is not to fit US for the
cemetery, but for the Office, the store,
the shop, the school, the farm and the
home. Tombstone piety is impressive
in the moonlight, but sunlight means
health, heartiness, cheer and SUCCESS.

CANNOT PROVE 1T.

Rev. Donald Sage Macksy, D. D.,
in the north American Review, writing
on Personal Immortality in the Light
Of Recent Science" quotes and disput-
es the assertion OF the late friedrich
w. H. Myres, that within century
the scientific proof Of personal immor-
atty would be so strong that no reason
able man would question it. Then he
quotes Darwin and George Elliot, who
were agnostics, and could find no proof
in their exact reasoning that there
would ever be after death any awaken
ing for mortals.
We susr ect that it will always be SO;
that the proof, the scientific proof, of a
life beyond this life will never be vouch-
ed save through the eye Of faith. We
do not believe that the proof, the sch
entifc proof, of life beyond this life
will ever be vouchsafed to mortals.
But the negative proof is absolute
enough. The proof OF First Great
Cause" is direct enough. The more
science explores its fields and finds how
worlds are created and how animals
came and it is protected; how the uni
verse rests on laws of perfect order that
are eternal, the proof of great Creator
assumes that form OF circumstantial evil
dence so absolute that no other hypoth-
esis can be entertained. Then all the
evidences reveal that through nature
there is divine harmony which never
fails.
Then coming to man we behold the
miracle of how he has comes into being
the most helpless Of creatures, but how
in brief thirty years he expands some
times into a world master, and how to
the humblest OF men there are hopes
and dreams as wide as the earth and as
sweet as heaven.
Then, if at the close death ends all,
it is clear that there can be no com
pensation for what mortals enjoy and
suffer.
Again, the thoughts Of men can not
la'e their origin in mere matter.
There must be something higher.
Those thoughts are high as heaven and
deep as the deep sea. They must have
a divine source and if so they cannot
perish; ! hey must live on and on forever
This is the fountain of mans faith
that he is immortal and every new
demonstration Of science confirms that
faith. But that the certain proof Of its
correctness will ever be given, that is
another thing. We doubt if it ever
comes. 1t may be felt, but cannot be
proven any more than can by demon
stration establish that we love one an
other. Man may have perfect faith
that he stands in this life on the thresh-
hold of everlasting life. but he cannot
prove it.-Goodwin's Weekly.
