The Slow Gordon Setter.

Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite a favorite and much in use by
sportsmen of this country In later
years, however, this really good dog
was displaced in greater part by the
pointer and English setter.
The Gordon. says Ed. f. Haberlein
in Dogdom, is the largest and heav.
lest of all bird dogs, more clumsy and
usually slow. Where most hunting is
done in woodland and thickets and a
slow working dog is needed SO as not
to get lost" almost continually he
fills the bill well-works close to the
gun, has good nose is steady on point
and, If properly trained. very good
retriever from land and water.
The Gordon is easily trained and re.
tains his training well. is also of good
pleasant disposition and admirable
companion. At this age. however
when SO very much stress is laid ON
speed and wide range, the Gordon is
not lin 1t" because he is slow
pottering dog as rule.

CALLED JUDGMENT OF GOD.
Thiefs Death at Hands Of Child
Whose Parents He Had Robbed.

The New York Sunday Worlds
correspondent in Budapest sends II
the following account OF recent
tragedy in the village OF Kaposvar
Hungary:
Janos Verga. a stock farmer. sold
some oxen for 900 crowns and con.
cealed the money in his house.
Ference Gal, ne'er-do-well OF the
village, knew OF this transaction and
determined to get the money. He
watched the house until he saw
Varga and his wife leave it, Then
he entered and had no difficulty in
hnding the money, which he peck
eted.
As he was about to leave he no
ticed sitting in corner, staring ST
lently and intently at him, the Vargas
six-year-old daughter. Realizing that
she had watched his theft, he deter
mined to get rid of this witness
against him. He threw a rope over a
beam in the ceiling and tied a moose
in one end OF 1t. Picking up the little
girl, he tried to persuade her to put
her head into the moose, saying it was
a nice game
How" she asked.
III show YOU" said the robber.
Gal put down the little girl. drew up
chair, stood upon it and put his
head through the moose.
Like this he said, again laugh
ing. is If 1t was all a game he was
playing with the girl.
The child pulled the chair away
suddenly; the robber fell. his neck
in the moose and was strangled to
death.
The child watched her victims
death struggles until they ceased.
then went outside to await for her
When they returned she
took them to the room where the
dead thief still dangied and told
them in great glee what had taken
place. The 800 crowns were found
IN the pockets of the robber and the
six-year-old child is now the heroine
of the village, where the event is
called a Judgment of God"

HIS GREATEST DEED
EVANGELIST TELLS OF VICTORY
HE PRIZES.
Story Of a Woman with assecret, and
Two Souls Brought to Grace
Chief Flower Of His Amer
lean Campaign.

Gypsy Smith. the English evangelist
who sailed for home recently, pre-
paratory TO a campaign in Australia,
told the story the night before he left
at a dinner given in his honor, of the
greatest conquest, In his opinion, he
had made in this country on his tour
of seven months.
He said he had preached $50 times.
had answered innumerable calls of
various kinds and had seen thousands
stand up TO profess a Christian life.
The convert of whom he was most
proud was a fashionable woman in a
western city who had come TO his
meetings with a secret that was eat
ing out her heart He said:
This woman was not yet of middle
age and her life apparently had been
ciety life. She was extravagant in
her dress and thoroughly worldly. 1t
must have been the dreadful secret
that she carried that attracted her
to my meetings.
Her friends were surprised to see
her go in. At the first meeting she
attended she was visibly shaken. She
came again and the storm broke.
She sought me out and unbur-
dened her soul There was a moth
erless little girl in another city for
whom she longed. Her conscience
was stirred.
For all her married life she had
been concealing a great sorrow and
sin and she had gone into worldly al
fairs to attempt to forget 1t all She
asked me what she should do.
"'IIow can | ever tell my husband%
she asked. 1t may destroy our home.
1t may kill me-
Where is your husband? |
asked.
"She told me he was in Philadel-
phia and | said | would talk to the
pastor of the church that they attend
ed occasionally.
THAT man had a long head. He
told the woman to telegraph for her
husband to come home at once. She
did so and he responded. She met
him with tears In her eyes but a
smiling face, for she had been
wrestling in prayer, and asked him
to come to my meetings.
He was surprised at first that he
should be called home for such a
purpose and was not inclined to like
it, He saw that his wife was worked
up over the matter and he yielded To
her entreaties to listen to me be-
cause he feared the effect If he dis
appointed her. He attended half a
dozen meetings and the fervor
reached him and he became real
convert.
I'm his enthusiasm he asked If
there was anything he could do to
prove his faith.
"'Can you stand a great sorrow?
asked that pastor.
Yes he said. gladly
Then with great tact the preacher
told about that motherless little one
while the wife sat by sobbing as IL
her heart would break.
Wife, he said, let us take the
first train tomorrow and get that
child. have sinned in the same way
myself. ! thank God for this day
And now" said Gypsy Smith,
there is a happy household out
there in the west, and openness where
there was secrecy, and love where
there was deceit and sharing the hap
piness of that couple is a little girl
who never before knew mothers
love. ] tell you il had accomplished
over here my work would have been
more than repaid. That case alone |
regard as the chief flower OF this cam.
paign."

WE THINK IT'S A SNAP

Every once in while some
cheerful idiot remarks to us "Well
now that your paper is out, l sup
pose you can take it easy for three
or four days. You've got the soft
est snap in town" Yes, how de.
lightful it is that country editor
has practically nothing to do be-
tween press days. Business runs
along automatically. When pa.
per bills come due, money drops
off the trees with which to pay them
Subscribers vie with each other
to see who can pay farthest in ad-
vance. Advertisers beg for adj
ditional space. And the way
the news hunts up the editor is
also pleasant to contemplate.
There is something really strange
the way that news items act.
When the paper is out the editor
simply goes to his desk, leans
back in his easy chair and looks
wise and waits for the next week S
press day. The day before press
day the people line up in front of
the office door and then file past
his desk and tell him all the news
of the week. He writes it up in
fifteen or twenty minutes, takes it
back and hangs it on the hook.
The compositors take the copy,
shake it over the type cases, say a
few mystic words, the type flies in
to place, and after a few passes by
the foreman. the forms are ready
for the press again. And the edi-
tor goes down and deposits some
more money in the bank. 1t is
the greatest snapin the catalogue.
Now, if the editor could only do
away with press day, his joy would
be complete.-Ex.

ar investigation is being conducted by
officials of the Waterloo, Cedar Falls
and Northern into the recent demon
STATIONS of violence. 1t is known that
Superintendent c. u. Cass has been
in conference with Mayor Rector and
County Attorney Mears, and it is said
the conference pertains to the strike
situation.
Two north end boys were taken be-
fore the officials and an effort was
made to learn what they knew about
the disturbance. Others were examined
later. Just what mode of procedure
the company expects to follow is prob
lematical, but it has leaked out that
they are directing their efforts toward
bringing several to justice and that
arrests may follow.
The men who have been sweated re-
side in the north end and are believed
to possess information which the COM
pany desires to obtain. They have let
out an inkling of the proceedings be-
hind the closed doors in Mayor Rec
tors office, and it is said one of the
men whose arrest may be made later
has taken the cue and left town.
Another report which has been pre-
valent for several days is to the eff
feet that the company brought four
Pinkerton detectives to Waterloo
shortly after Irainmaster Ed Nc
Clelland was assaulted on upper East
Fourth street. and the company is said
to be in possession of evidence that
will convict several who participated
in the disturbances. If the statements
