doctrine is sound and scriptural. He
ought to teach it. not as one who
thinks of himself as a trif1e skeptical,
but as one grounded in the faith. Any
man whose common everyday news
paper editorials are the epitome of
holy writ must have his system pretty
full of it; and when he tells his read

they have so they practice the kind he
got out of the Bible, he is putting it at

SEE THE POINT?
The other day a merchant happened
to see farmer receive box from the
depot and noticed that it came from a
mail order house. He also noticed that
the goods were right in his line, and
the same he had carried for years. He
Immediately approached the farmer
and said: ct could have sold you

money than you paid the Chicago

answered the farmer. Il have taken
the local paper for year and haven't
seen a line about you selling these
goods. This mail order house sent adj
vertising matter to me asking for my
trade and they got it. If you have any
bargains why don't you have them put
in the paper so we can see what they
are ?"-WaKeeney World.
GOING THE WHOLE LENGTH.
Since Wichita concluded to be good
it seems that her officers are deter.
mined to go the whole length in the
way of reform. They have not only
passed a stringent prohibitory ordi-
nance but they are preparing to have
a secret service officer whose principal
business it will be to locate secret
joints. Now Just think of that in
Wichita, where for twenty years or
more the town has been run wide
open and the man who dared to insist
that there ought to be some sort of
semblance of compliance with the law
was considered an enemy of the town.
