REV. J. n. STEEL PREACHED
TO LARGE CONGREGATION

Rev. J. N. Steel OF Colchester. ILL.,
nois, occupied the pulpit Of the First
Presbyterian church here Sunday ev-
ening and preached a most interest
ing and helpful sermon. A remarkable
thing in connection with Rev. Steel Is
the fact that while totally blind. he
Is able to read the scriptures with
almost the same ease and facility as
those who enjoy perfect eyesight.
He read as an itroductlon to his SER
mon the twelfth chapter OF Romans
by passing his finger tips over slight
indentatlons In the paper OF which the
pages OF his Bible are made. These
indentations are not much II any
larger than the embossed letters on
the average note paper or envelope.
and how the touch could be trained
to such delicacy as to enable him to
read in that way was q marvel to his
congregation.
Rev. steels blindness was brought

The Average Editor,

The editor OF the average country
paper. is on the decent side. the hon
est side, the patriotic side. the loyal
side OF every question up for discus
sion. He stands by the party, his state
and the flag, without flicker He
prints columns and columns OF kind
things about everybody. He breaches
apostolic SUGGESTIONS. final persever-
ance OF the saints. the rites Of bap-
tism, the ten commandments and the
holy grail. He may find fault. but as
rule the fault Is not due to personal
desire. So much for patriotic interest.
The good citizen who reads an editors
paper who seems to be doing about
the right thing should encourage his
attitude by keeping his subscription
paid In advance.

About 300 tickets were sold for the

In the case of the jealous swain
who cut up lot OF new clothes be-
longing to his successful rival, we
have conspicuous instance OF the
difference between the way which
men and women have of doing things
Now, woman in case like that
might feel very much like tearing up
the gowns of her rival. but she
wouldn't resort to anything SO positive
as that; what she would do would be
to merely look at the other woman's
clothes in way that would obvate
the necessity of violence. She would
just poison" them, SO to speak, with
glance. And women have that art
down to such a fine point that they
can come pretty near spelling for its
possessor almost any garment that
was ever made.

the work.
Postmaster Lewis was asked II it
would be necessary to put on an extra
man here but he replied that he would
endeavor to get along with the present
force.
The new law stipulates that every
class of mail matter must be weighed
and counted, this including each let
ter and postal card The average
haul of the different classes must also
be computed for seven days, includ-
ing record Of the equipment used,
such as pouches, locks, etc. For 35
days a record must be kept OF the
average loads given to railway mail
cars and others that transport mail.
Lastly a statement must be made
showing the revenue derived from
each class.
At stated intervals the post office
department has heretofore caused the
railway mail service employees to
weigh the matter for the purpose of
determining upon the haulage con-
tracts with the railroad companies,
but the new act, which was passed
March 2 of the present year, is for
the purpose of ascertaining exactly
the volume OF business handled by
every post Office in the United States
and the weighing will be done by all
of them

The annual graduation exercises of
the Senior class of Dodds Commercial
College took place at the First Pres
byterian church Thursday night in the
presence of an audience which filled
every part of the spacious auditorium
and was distinct success in every
particular.
The program was one of more than
ordinary merit and was at once inter-
esting and instructive. The decora-
tions of the church were simple, but
effective, and did not, as is sometimes
the case, distract the mind from the
class itself, which should be on such
occasions the cynosure of all eyes and
the center of all attention.
The senior class at Dodds CONNER
cial College this year consisted OF ~
members, fourteen young women and
six young men, the largest in the his
tory Of the institution. All of them
were present Thursday night to re-
,ceive their diplomas, except Miss Lora
V1AUl6y, Lut CldSS cSluCAlJ "Ao =" oc
detained at home by illness. 1t was
a matter of regret to all, especially
to her associates, that Miss Hadley
could not attend the commencement
exercises and enjoy the triumphs
which she had won by long course
of conscientious study and application.
The first number on the program
was a piano duet by Misses Whitmore
and Gray, which was admirably exc
cuted and evoked a deserved applause
from the audience. Following an in
vocation by Rev H. NJ. Jameson of
the United Presbyterian church, was
a vocal selection, my Own Native
Isle" by Misses Young and Gray, and
Messrs Dodds and kirkton.
The musical numbers of the pro-
gram were of an exceptionally high
class and were as artistic as the
literary features we're mertorious and
pleasing, their applause their rendi-
ton aroused being evidence of their
appreciation.
The salutatory was made by Arthur
A. Carson and his subject was
Thought and Preparation" 1t is no
disparagement to other young men

DIED AT HIS HOME IN
MISSOURI on SUNDAY

DR.. J. w. Cannon received a tele-
gram this morning from Armstrong.
Missouri, announcing the death OF
Birch Yancy at his home In that place
on Sunday OF consumption. Mr.. Yancy
will be remembered as having spent at
least two winters in Canon City for
the benefit OF his health. Last year
he went to Phoenix, Arizona, but the
change failed to help him and he
came back here. His condition be-
came so serious that he was advised
by his physician to go back home and
spend his few remaining days among
his friends. His death will be mat
ter of regret to his acquaintances here
