SIN LIETH AT THE DOOR.
Vice is a monster of such hideous mien,
That to be hated, needs but to be seen. !"

"Vice is a monster of such hideous mien,
That to be hated, needs but to be seem"
At Presbyterian church last Sabbath
evening an overlooking congregation
listened to the fifth of DR.. Patton's spe-
cial sermons. No diminishment OF in.
terest is perceptible. Every word of
the speaker, every song-note falls on
deeply attentive ears. There is an in
tangible evidence in these services. By
this is not meant anything obscure or
above the comprehension of the hum
blest, yet it is something out of the or
binary. 1t can be felt, but not de-
scribed. A printed notice seems cold
and barren. DR.. Patton has chosen
wide diversity in the selection of SUBJ
jects and their treatment.
Last Sabbath evening the text was
from Genesis: "Sin Lieth at:the Door. ="
Hard, indeed, must have been the heart
which this powerful, yet sympathe tic
sermon failed to impress. Our sins,
great and small, were depicted as
crouching wild beasts at our doors, re-
lentless in their fury, and from which
only the pardon of Christ's atoning
blood can save US. The stories from
real life, of which DR.. Patton OCCASION
ally makes use to emphasize an i'm
preston, are always appropriate.
The singing was grand. Mrs. Settle
rendered as a solo "The Ninety and
Nine"
Services next Sabbath evening at
1880 O'Clock. DR., Patton is especially
anxious to have our people and all
strangers within our gates to come out.

IN THE STAIR.

won in Nebraska by a majority
of 20, 900, at least, is the report
from Lincoln aud this means:
First: A vote of thanks by
the people of Nebraska for the
splendid work of the republican
Legislature and state administra-
ton.
Second: That the people of
the state are unalterably on the
side of President Roosevelt in his
fight against law breakers, come
what may.
Third: An overwhelming en-
dorsement of the splendid ticket
of clean and able men nominated
by the republican party of the
state.
Governor Sheldon in comment
ing upon the magnificent victory
in favor of honest men and good
government is quoted as saying:
Nov if we can follow this up
with the election of Roosevelt
for another four years, the
country will be safe"
IN THE COUNTY.
The conflict in Custer county
was waged more particularly up
on the question of dividing the
county into four counties, more
than upon partizan lines, the
candidates for the several Offices
being left to a considerable ex-
tent to hustle for themselves and
the republicans we're not slow in
performing their duty along that
line as will be noted from the
majorities-and plenty to spare.
On the question of dividing
the county the result is an indi-
cation that majority of property
owners are satisfied with the
present lines of Custer county
rather than a smaller county and
a doubling of the amount of their
taxes which they are intelligent
enough to know would follow
division.
The campaign for the county
Offices has been carried on In a
fairly friendly feeling between
the opposing candidates and there
was, perhaps. less charges and
counter-charges and the express
sion of unsavory compliments by
the newspapers, than ever before.
1t can we'll be termed a clean
campaign and a victory for the
Grand Old Party from start to
finish, because it is the party of
progress, stands for law, order
and advancement of mankind and
redeems its pledges to the people.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Eject VI Boxing ON the Mental and
Moral Faculties.

Eject Of Boxing on the Mental and
Moral Faculties.
Boxing is an exercise which is not
only Of the most marked benefit in a
purely physical way, but it is of the
utmost value as a means Of training
the mental and moral. faculties. One
of the most unfortunate whimsicalities
Of our very whimsical day is the preju-
dice against boxing as a sport and
exercise. There is no sport in which
there is provided such splendid exer-
else for body and mind and spirit as
in boxing.
The physical influence Of boxing is
superb. Every muscle and organ is
brought into active use. So far as
mentality is concerned, the perception,
imagination, judgment, discretion, self
confidence, aggressiveness and will are
all brought into active and rapid use.
The boxer who fails in %perceiving his
opponents intention, who misses in
Judging the power or reach Of his blow,
who is lacking in self confidence, will
power or aggressiveness, who fails for
one moment to remember all the weak
points of the man against whom he is
working-that boxer is likely to fail, to
lose what we all value-that is, repu-
tation, public confidence and income.
Among the many sports and games
which are of value in training the
mind I place boxing as by all means
the most valuable.-W. r. O. Latson.

Tor the Junior Manager.
A man who wanted to lecture called
at a bureau presided owe by two man.
ayers.
He aroused their interest with a lee
turer's art, says the Lyceumite, but
unfortunately the senior member was
just starting on a trip and would not
return for at least a month.
The senior partner called the young
man to one side and exacted a solemn
promise that he would not visit an
other bureau or read his lecture to
anybody until after he had given this
particular manager a reading and a
chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest Of the Junior member,
however, was at white heat, and he
kept sending for the young lecturer, in
sisting that he come down to the Office
and real his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact as possible,
but this only increased the anxiety Of
the junior.
AT last the young man told of the
promise made the senior partner. In
stead Of quieting the Junior manager,
the announcement made him the more
anxious, and finally the young man
consented.
The reading ended, the Junior part
ner said:
"Now, your reading this has saved
us all much valuable time. I'll tell you
frankly, my boy, it won't do. There'S
no message in it; it is loosely construct
ed; the diction is poor. 1t won't do
Burn it and try again."
When the senior partner returned lie
called up the young lecturer and sound.
~ berated him for breaking faith.
"How do 1 know you have not been
to every bureau in town? You promis.
ed me on your honor you would read
the lecture to nobody-not even to my
partner
The young man protested that he
had not done so.
"Why," exclaimed the senior man.
ager, "of course you have! He tells me
that you came down here to the office
two weeks ago and read him the entire
lecture and that he told you 1t was nc
good."
"Yes," replied the young man; 'afte1

An Extraordinary Migration.

Al AX3J0VEO100Ey A11B18kAOMs
One of the greatest mysteries to SCI
entists, one for which there seems to
be no reasonable explanation, is that
concerning the migration Of the lem
ming. or Norway rat. Instead Of TAX
ing place once a year, these migrations
occur only once in eleven years. When
the time comes for the exodus the lit
tie animals journey westward from
Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop
their movements. which virtually
amount to a headlong flight. They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains in ~incalculable
numbers, devastating the whole coun-
try through which they travel. Natu-
ralists attribute the movement to some
inherited memory of a fight to escape
an expected cataclysm, but this seems
somewhat far fetched.

BLUEBEARD,
TWO Different Stories as to Who Was
the Original.

Two Different Stories az to Who Wa

Like many Of the other heroes Of the
nursery tales, Bluebeard once lived in

speare got so much of his material, il
to be believed. According to that writ.
er. the original Bluebeard was Giles de
Retz Or de Raiz, marquis of Laval,
who became marshal Of France in 1920.
He is described as an impious and de
bauched man, a devotee of the black
art, who enticed young men and wom-
en- to his castle and killed them in or
der to obtain innocent blood for his
magical entertainments and who also
murdered six or seven of his wives.
His crimes were discovered, and he
vas burned at the stake in 144O ut
Nantes.
According to an old French legend,
however, the original Bluebeard lived
in Brittany in the sixth century and
was known as Count Coroner. After
seven of his wives had disappeared he
became enamored Of Triphyna, the
daughter Of Count Guereck of Vannes.
The wedding was celebrated at Vannes,
and Conomer took his bride home.
Before a year had passed Triphyna
