The OsIY True Religion.

Men talk much about practical re-
ligion," but differ greatly as to what
it comprises. Many limit it to benev-
client gifts and kindly ministries, or
to public religious services. But it
is more. 1t includes a personal faith
in Christ, holy communion with God
and a pure life. There can be no real
and abiding practice Of Christianity
without a renovated nature and a
sanctifed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

but that the bolero effects which were
ubiouitous a short time age, have
given way to a draped effect, the full
ness caught crosswise in soft little
folds that are scarcely more than

GOT GUARDIAN SO He
COULD MARRY HIS GIRL

VANCOUVER, Wash, Mch. 23.-It
il, not often that guardian is APP
pointed for the express purpose of al
lowing a marriage ceremony to pro-
coed according to prearranged plans.
Lut such was the case yesterday when
Marshall B. Agar and Miss Nellie E.
Beaver, both OF Proebstel, this coun-
ty, were married by Rev. r. Yeatman
at the home CT 0. M. Hidden.
Young Agar and Miss Beaver had
been sweathearts for some time and
recently decided to get married. The
day was set and all arrangements
made. but one thing of importance was
forgotten. Agar was not of age and
both his parents are dead.
There was no time to be lost. Com
ing to this city yesterday morning the
young couple hurried to the auditors
Office to see what could be done. They
were told that as Algar's parents were
not living he would have to secure the
permission of his guardian before the
license could be issued.
At the moment it dawned upon the
groom that-would-like- Judge
McCredie was his guardian. A hur-
ried trip was made to the judges Of
flee, but that genial official could not
help out the young couple in their
trouble. He was not the young mans
guardian. A petition for guardian
ship papers had at one time been filed
with the court, but no final action had
been taken, so the situation looked
decidedly blue for Agar.
undaunted, the young man hur-
riedly went to his friend, G. c. Fleet,
business man of this city, for adj
vice. The situation needed quick ac-
ton and after a few minutes thought
Mr.. Fleet decided that he would apply
to the court for guardianship papers.
Judge McCredie and Prosecuting At
torney Stapleton were at once commu-
nicated with and readily consented to
the PLAN
By o'clock yesterday afternoon all
of the necessary papers had been made
out. Mr.. Fleet had asserted his right as
guardian, the marriage license had
been secured, and by o'clock the
young couple had been pronounced

Gigantic Strike IN April May

CHICAGO, Mch. 23.-Unless the
western railroads recede from their
stand of refusing to consider further
demands of employees $4,000 railroad
men will strike in April, One hundred
committeeman from local unions of
trainmen and conductors met with
Grand Chief Garretson and Moreicey
today to plan operations.
A. +. Whitner, chairman of the COM
mittee, unofficially confirms that the
men voted in favor of strike and
says if the roads persist in further op-
position this will mean a decision that
the strike be put into effect.
Cooperation of members in Canada
and Mexico and this country is as
sured.
