PIOUS PILGRIM
 WHO FILTERS

Norman Duncan. in Harpers Magazine for July. Riding once past noon, in blistering glare, we came unexpectedly upon an old man, bent, lean, and gray, but trudging sturdily eastward, ankle deep in the sand, appearing a helpless figure of a pilgrim; and that he was piously inclined was speedily evident, for no sooner had he perceived our caravan than he removed from the road, spread his abba in haste, and knelt to recite the prayers, contin- uing to bow and batter until we halted abreast.
 "Whither bound?" said I.
 "To Mecca, khawaja, to perform the ceremonies. I am come from beyond Egypt, and am belated because of sick ness"
 Have you no fear of starvation?"
 God is my sustenance, khawaja,' he answered.
 Neither dread of wild beasts or rob- bers?"
 God is my shield''
 Here is a lonely pilgrimage" said I, in pity.
 God is my companion, khawaja, and my comfort"
 But to die in this wild desert!
 'The will of God, khawaja, I am con- tent"
 We rode on, having stood in pity, to watch the pious pilgrim turn a sand drift, moving in haste above his strength, and presently-it may have been two hours-we encountered in a gully red bearded, mighty man. not yet grown past his youth, who in this heat had stripped to his futtering shirt; a morose and an- gry fellow dhought wet now sweating and out of breath, as with running He. too, was in haste, 1t seemed-but where fore was a mystery-and needed us with impatience; but we could not let him pass for he had no girbie of water, nor any bread that we could see, and seemed to be travelling incontnently to a bitter death
 Have you neither food nor water?' I demanded

 "The bottle is from Algiers, whence am I; but the man Is the same, may God re- ward him with hunger, thirst and plaguey For three days, khawaja, we travelled In friendship, and he shared all that I had. having nothing himself; but this morning. when I awolSe, he had stolen away, and I was deserted, theved of my water and bread, and left to die.'
 We gave the man food and water, urg- ing him the while to leniency.

 He departed, running.

A duel to the death was

The men met at the corner OF

their differences.
Retiring to a side room. the
men seated themselves at a small
table. A moment later Bell was

The Indictment by the federal grand

Heinze had been informed quietly

drawn on October 1s just before the
smash in United Copper, had been
found by the federal grand jury on
December . and that his appearance

The Indictment specifically charges
that Heinze while president of the
Mercantile National bank overcertified
Is checks; that ia, that he guaranteed
by the bank signature that the sums

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
Rev. George Plat gave the bacca-
laureate sermon for the graduating
class of 1908 Sunday morning at the
Episcopal church, which was delivered
in a very able manner.
The seniors marched to the church
from the high school and were seated
in the front of the church, where seats
had been reserved for them
Assuming that every man always
has had, since his creation, and must
have, either good or bad, ideals, which
will guide him through life, Rev.
Plat counseled the graduates to seek
truth and abide with it, and they
would be helped thereby in seeking
worthy ideals towards which to strive
in the battle of life which they were
about to engage in. The speaker said
that as Christ was the author of truth
his sayings and promises should be
consulted and adapted in forming de-
cisions Each of them should learn TIC
love truth, as truth alone would make
them truly free. He closed by telling
the graduating class to always remem
Der what Christian was, and that il
was manly and noble to be Chris
tan. The sermon was rare IN thu
amount of good to be derived from it

Of Circus Beinf Here
on Previous Date

The Farmers Institute, which was
to have been held on June 4th, will DO
held at the court house in this city on
June nth, a week later, because Of the
coming of the Campbell Bros circus
on the first named date.
When it became apparent that tho
dates for the institute and circus were
the same, Sec. T. f. Murphy of tho
Commercial club corresponded with
the institute people, and obtained q
delay of one week, different set Of
speakers to be in charge of it, however.
Before deciding on this change the
matter was thoroughly gone over, and
the show people were also seen, to see
what could be expected in the way Of
cooperation. Satisfactory arrange
ments were made for schedules, but
after careful consideration it was de-
cided best to postpone the institute
one week.
