EmptIness Is not innocence.

Emptiness Is not innocence.
Worship is independent of walls.
True religion is the root OF all re-
form.
Triumph is a matter of simply try
ing again.
The heights are never scaled by the
top-lofty.
The overtime sermon makes the
slothful saint.
You cannot fire the hearts of men
with frozen sermons.
You lose sense as soon as you ig-
more all sentiment
Polishing the head alone often par
alyzes the heart.
The church that lifts the fallen new
err need fear failure.
The ear ready for Islander makes the
lips ready to Stay.
The greatest shame of all is to feel
none at things unworthy.
A man is not sound in life because
he has much sound on his lips.
The church will not make new
world until it is ready to mix with
the old one.
The pulpit often mistakes the thun-
der for the shower Of blessing.
You may climb FOOLS hill in an
auto. but you will not reach the top
any earlier.
The greater the self-consciousness
of the fool the less his consciousness
of his true self.
There is little danger in the dis
content with condition, that is equaled
by the discomfort with character.
The creed that bases righteousness
on legal fiction will produce only
fictitious Righteousness.
You cannot give man much light
by throwing knowledge at him in such
way that he sees stars.-Chicago

sRITon A POOR IMMIGRANT.
AZ . Settler In Canada He Has Done
Little for Country.

Canada naturally has strong Eng.
lish sentiments, but the actual leaders
in affairs In the Canadian Northwest
admit that the English immigrant
neither made past nor assured q fu-
ture for their new empire. First came
the typical English remittance MAJ"
who lived on money sent from home
and subsisted chiefly on whisky. He
was a cumberer of the earth and
spelled no progress whatever.
Then came the English colonist
from the cities, poor folk for the most
part and eager to better themselves;
willing to work. but in fitness genera
tons behind the men who fought their
course across the continent by way
of the Appalachians and the Missouri
and the Rockies. Later there arrived
numbers of the agricultural classes of
England, peaceful, Woodworking and
frugal, admirable settlers, albeit some
what ignorant of the conditions of life
in . new country.
All these were welcomed in Canada,
but, although the English immigra-
ton in numbers equals that of many
other nations combined, it does not
equal the American immigration alone

RCD WHISPERS WERE LACKING.
Hirsute Loss Put Mr.. eetrosky In En-
barrassing Position.

Just before city election In Salem,
Mass, Russian Jew entered the saw
ings bank. He was smooth shaver
and an awful scar covered one side
of his face. In broken English he an
nounced his name as John Betrosky
(which. by the way. is not his name),
and signified his intention of drawing
800. His signature was identical
with that on his depositing card, but
under his name on the card was red
iwhiskers."
The cashier decided that Betrosky
would have to bring some one to
the bank who knew him. Muttering
angrily, the Hebrew hurried out, and
within Is minutes came back with a
woman and five children. In q mix
ture Of broken English and Yiddish
each one of the group tried to explain
that the whiskerless Betrosky was no
other than he who erstwhile wore the
cardinal appendages. The cashier,
after much talking, succeeded in max
ing them understand that some one
known to the bank must do the identi-
flying.
The now fearful group withdrew to
a nearby window, but their grief was
short lived, for with an exclamation of
joy they rushed out of doors. to come

Queen Of Holland Has Agreed 20 REQ

Among the lucrative sources Of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa-

the toll or tax on titles Of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec.

the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count. it was accessory
to obtain confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates.
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill

MAKE RUBBER FROM WHEAT.
important Discovery for the Manufac
turers Of Elastic Material.

Wheat and hogs, hitherto regarded
by the farmer of the Mississippi val.
ley simply as food products. have as.
sumed a new commercial Importance,
says the Technical World. In brief,
wheat and hogs spittle will produce
rubber. The Importance of the dis
covery can scarcely be overestimated,
coming as 1t does at time when the
world is anxiously asking from where
its future supplies of rubber are to
come. In half decade, it is said, the
annual consumption of the elastic ma
terial will be at least $4,000 tons.
Even 100000 tons is regarded by
many as conservative estimate.
1t was by accident that Mr.. Carr,
the English inventor or discoverer of
the substance, made the first step in
his great discovery. He was but a
small boy then. Passing one day
through a field of wheat he plucked a
few grains Of cereal, and, chewing
them, formed the glutinous compound
so familiar to every country lad.
Many years later, recalling his early
experience. he began putting his the.
ory to the test. His first laboratory
was q small shed in his back yard:
his apparatus coffee grinder and a
kettle of hot water. Later he was
able to obtain the use of ..se best
shops and laboratories n England.
