LEADER WANTED FOR JEWS.

Give the Jews a leader not a
poet but practical busin e s
man and, according to Herbert
Casson. in ten years, he will get
Palestine from the Turks, colon
ize it with a million or more Jews
from Russia, and restore his peo-
pie to a place among the nations
of the earth. And this is not a
dream, either, nor a fancy that
concerns only Jews.
When the Jews lost their coun-
try, two thousand years ago, they
were a small, weak, moneyless
nation in the midst of armies
of barbarians; but today they
are man for man, more Jews
in the world than Turks. They
are the bankers of kings. They
are scientists, judges, artists, en-
gineers. Five times a Jew has
been lord mayor of London; and
the present mayor of Rome is a
member of the tribe of Nathan.
In certain districts of Russia,
half of the commerce and nine
tenths of the newspapers are in
the hands of the Jews. In this
country they control the trade in
clothing, swelling, jewelry and
cigars, besides owning most of
our department stores and domi.
mating grand opera and the
drama. In fifty countries the
Jews have made good. They are
now a strong people, and the
dream of the strong comes true.

Who is happier than the intel

his weli-filled potato hill staked
out behind the house, the barn
filled to over flowing with corn,
hay and fodder; big porkers so
fat they are hardly able to grunt
a welcome when fed-what more
could the heart desire? Nothing
to do but look up the eggs, milk
the COWS and talk to the good
housewife.

LETTER FROM JAS. sN0OGRASs

lLttCU HUM JhVs VVVVVH"oS
To the Honorable Sons of Rest:
For the past thirty days on ac-
count of the great growth of our
order we had to suspend business
to get into larger quarters and to
do preliminary work Tor 1909.
| was in Prescott last evening,
and found the people both OF
town and county in a state OF
unrest for fear our organization
had come and went like many
other organizations. Room is
what we needed; room is what
we got. Our official organ has
moved into large brick building
with his printing machinery, 70
xSO concrete floor, so you see we
are solid that far. Our place of
meeting will be the front of the
two-story building recently built
by ]. G. Clark. You will find
President Hitchcock in the re-
ception room up stairs and the
Mcdaniel Hardware Co. down
stairs. We are here to stay, and
in due time it will be fully reali-
ed. Don't worry, it takes time
to establish an organization like
ours. For the past few years
there has.been a great howl be-
tween labor and capital and
many organizations created to
fight capital, but up to date have
failed in effect to accomplish any
thing. We are the only organi-
zation that ever took the right
step in the right direction to
bring about the right price for
day labor or boil weevil food.
We are frequently asked how
we pay our debts, we do like
those who raise boil weevil food,
we let our debts 60 unpaid. We
are now in a position to do bust
ness. Bro. Orr has just return
ed from Panama. The Panama
canal people paid us $40, 900, 600
to keep our organization from
doing business in that district
until the work was complete. We
expect to invest a great deal OF
this money in buying up swamp
lands for the purpose Of raising
tadpole brain food. Bro. Riddle
is our purchasing agent. Dr..
Hinton in charge OF our sanitor-
ium will have this brain food
distributed over the entire cotton
belt. What brain food | have
taken has not yet had the de-
c;rad affaef on mo DIR Hin

The Minneapolis Journal says: AS
the campaign advances, it must be
quite evident that both candidates
are losing time running after farm
ers. Mr.. Bryan cannot get them;
Mr.. Taft cannot lose them. This is
not because the farmer is hidebound
and will vote the one ticket, always.
He frequently veers from one side
to the other. But as far as Mr..
Bryan is concerned, he has given
them no reason to change this year.
They cannot be moved by his bank
guarantee nostrum or his publicity
of campaign funds, so long as he
is unsatisfactory on the tariff and
vague on the money question. The
farmer is satisfied with a condition
OF affairs which gives him a stable
home market for his products, and
which is based upon a protection
that keeps labor employed at high
wages. For the same reason that
ME. Bryan cannot get the farmers,
Mr.. Taft cannot lose them. There
fore both candidates are mistaken in
their efforts to affect the farmer
vote. w..

THE TRAPPED THIEF.
A Midnight Adventure With South
American Desperadoes.

A Midnight Adventure With South
American Desperadoes.
In describing certain experiences
among the outlaws and desperadoes Of
South America an English traveller
tells the following grisly story:
"One night farmer was reused
from sleep by hearing unusual and
stealthy noises about the place. He
got quietly out Of bed and, after listen
ing attentiyely, discovered that some
people outside were cutting a hole
through the door close to the bolt by
which 1t was held. SsSs. IS. 3.5
ut did not require any great amount
Of detective talent to guess the object
of the operation, and the best way to
foil It: was suggested by a thong Of
rawhide with. a. loop on 1t which hung
from a hook on the inside Of the door.
Noiselessly removing the thong, he
slipped the end Of it through the loop,
and there he stood armed with an I'M
promptu lasso, ready for action.
1t was an anxious time while the
farmer stood watching the hole in the
door grow larger, and larger until at
last it was of sufficient size to effect
the purpose for which it was made.
THE supreme moment arrived, and d
hand was stealthily inserted not only
through the hole, but also through the
loop 5of the little lasso which hung
skillfuIly around 1t. With sudden
Jerk the loop was frightened around the
wrist and the hand dragged in as far
as the aperture would allow, while the
thong was securely fastened to the
hook on the back of the door.
aThe ,robber was perfectly helpless.
His companions came to his aid and,
having ineffectually dragged at the i'm
prfsoned arm till they were tired, gave
up the struggle and prepared to depart.
But they were prudent men, and 1t
occurred to them to save himself their
companion might betray them. Dead
men, they thought, tell no tales, SO
they killed him. New York Mail. "

Incidents illustrating the Young Mans
Interest In Mechanics.
There are several anecdotes which
relate to Robert Fulton's early interest
In mechanics the first steps Of progress
toward his later skill In 1773. when
he was eight years old, his mother,
having previously taught him to read
and write, sent him to a school kept by
Dir. Caleb Johnson, a Quaker gentle
man of pronounced Tory principles so
pronounced, In fact, that he narrowly
escaped with his life during the ReYo-
luton. But Robert Fulton did not care
for books, and he began at very early
age to search for problems never mas
tered and bound In print. This greatly
distressed the Quaker teacher, who
spared not the rod, and it Is said that
in administering such discipline on the
hand of Robert Fulton he one day tes-
tily exclaimed, There, that will make
you do something's to which Robert,
with folded arms, replied, "Sir, ] came
to have something beaten into my
brains and not into my knuckles."
Without doubt he was a trial to his
teacher.
He entered school one day very late.
and when the master inquired the rea-
son Robert, with frank interest re-:
piled that he had been at Nicholas Mil
lers shop pounding out lead for pen
ell. ut is the very best I ever had,
sir,' he affirmed as he displayed his
product, The master, after an exami.
nation of the pencil, pronounced 1t ex-
cellent. When Roberts mother, who
had been distressed by his lack Of ap-
plication to his studies, expressed to
his teacher her pleasure at signs of
improvement the latter confded to her
that Robert had said to him, "My head
is so full of original notions that there
! is no vacant chamber to stow away the
contents Of dusty books"
These incidents to the contrary, 1t is
nevertheless true that Robert Fulton
did absorb good knowledge Of the
rudiments Of education. Century Mag

We have given nearly as many letters
as we have received this year, but
the increase from probation ought
to show a big gain.
There has been some pruning OF
old records, too, which will affect
the totals. However, the work has
been done and the members have been
received or the outgo would be Sc

new churches and sixteen new parson-
ages or a total of forty three, new

This will give you some idea 81 how
we have been growing in material
things. In many OF these enterprises
the starting point has been q revi-

A matter worthy of note is the fact
that we dedicated the first church
building of any kind in Adams coun-
ty, at Hettinger, and the first English

and not being able to build a church

one out Of cloth and had the Joy
