At Helper on Wednesday night
about twenty-five persons were taken
through IA so-called Scottish rite OF
Free Masonry by one Matthew Mob.
Thompson. Scotchman, who claims
Diamonville, Wyo., as the seat of the
grand lodge under whose jurisdiction
he is working. AS matter of fact
the grand lodge of Wyoming, as reg
ularly constituted, is at Cheyenne
with f.. S. King as grand master,
while its granu secretary is w. l..
Kuykendall. who resides at the little
town of Saratoga.
Letters from James n. Brown,
says a report today from Helper, who
is grand master of the Masonic order
in Utah, and Christopher Diehl, grand
secretary. state that Thompson and
his associates in the work are the
raukest of frauds, while their meth
ods are denounced as well by Damas-
Gus lodge at Mt. Pleasant, under
whose jurisdiction this section is.
Thompson has been exposed in
Massachusetts, Idaho and elsewhere,
having no more authority for the
Masonic work he is pretending to
confer than a Chinese section hand.
Some good Italian citizens and others
Mt Helper are being parted from their
money with nothing in return for IL.
The first three ..egrees of Masonry
(?) are given in one evening, and
il appears that about the only thing
necessary is to have the price.
Thompson has given it out that
lodges are to be organized at kenil-
worth, Sunnyside, Castle Gate. SEQ
field and elsewhere in the country.
Thompson is declared to be fakir
and fraud by those who ought to
know whereof they speak, without
consulting with the grand officers of
the order in Utah.

CATHOLICS REJECT
SOCIALISTIC TEACHINGS

The report of the religious sec
tions of the general federation of
Catholic societies, received and made
just before adjournment was taken
at Boston Wednesday, appealed to
''all Catholics and to our fellow cit
izens without distinction to use their
influence to prevent the desecration
and to uphold the observance and
the sanctity of Sunday"
The reports expressed profound
sentiments of reverence and submis-
sion to the teachings of the recent
enclynical of Pope Plus against the
body of false religious opinion called
modernism.
The socialism plank rejected the
main tenets of Catholicism az all
Catholics We're urged against aiilat-
ing with that movement.
The plank on socialism eXprc sses
sympathy with the wage earners in
their efforts to ameliorate the oondl-
ton by united action" and recon-
mends the formation of Catholic
workingmen's societies.

METHODISTS
AFTER zoe"

The Methodist Episcopal church
has begun an active crusade for the
election of a speaker of the house OF
representatives "who will allow con-
gress to vote on the interstate liquor
shipment bill"
The church, which has more than
100000 communicates, has created
the Temperance Society of the Epis-
copal church with authority to rep
resent the denomination in all tenn
perance matters. This society is man.
aged by a board composed of bish-
op and fifteen members named by the
bishop and elected by the late general
conference.
The shipment bill, which has been
pending in congress for at least five
years, does not seek to impose prohi-
bition on any locality, but provides
that liquor shipped from one state to
another shall Immediately upon cross
ing the boundary become subject to
the laws of the state into which it is
consigned.
The speaker of the house of rep
resentatives. says an address issued
by the society absolutely controls its
proceedings. He is opposed to this
legislation. He has used the power
of his office to hold it in the judiciary
committee appointed by him, on the
alleged ground that 1t is unconstitu-
tional.
Our church by action of the re-
cent general conference insists that
congressional doubt as to the consti-
tutionality of such legislation be re-
solved in the interests of the people
and public morals, and the general
conference unanimously adopts the
report of Governor Hanley's special
committee appointed to await upon
Speaker Cannon, which closes with
the following words:
I'VE submit to our people and to
all good citizens the wisdom of elect
ing men as members of congress who
believe in its validity and who are
willing to enact it.
AT least one member of the
house committee has been defeated
for the nomination on his record on
this question, and we believe that
the time has come when cur people
who want to help secure this legisla-
ton must support for congress can
ididates who will not only vote for
this measure if they get chance.
but will themselves support for
speaker a man who will allow it to
be voted upon, and that its passage
is improbable until Christian voters
recognize the situation and cast their
ballots accordingly

the gift was in recognition of the
splendid fight which the church made
on the saloons at local option cleo
tion some months before.
The church people were indignant,
and at first talked of returning the
money or of tearing up the sidewalk.
The latter plan was voted down as
wasteful and the former was aban-
doned because no way to make the
saloonists take the money was ap-
parent.

When asked what she thought of
the west she said:
"Oh, you just tell them that 1
think it is fine. Why, do you know
that we saw roses in Oregon that
were - inches across? (Here she
made the reporter promise that he
wouldn't tell how big the roses were;
for, as she said, Nobody would ever
believe you.')
NO" she replied when asked if
Mr.. jacobson contemplated touring
the west this fall. He is too busy
fighting the railroads. Besides you
couldn't make him believe that there
is amy other state on the map but
Minnesota"
Were it not for the fact that Mr.
Jacobson is not an American-born
citizen. it would not be too great a
hazard to say that he is a future re-
publican presidential nominee. He
is probably the worst enemy of the
"law-transgresskng railroads and cor
porations' that the state of Mime
sofa or the northwest has ever pro-
duced.
The Denver Post, in a lengthy arti-
Gle on Mr.. Jacobson's nomination, re-

cobSon is universally respected and
admired as simple and common
man of the people"
in fact" it goes on, "the only
thing his enemies have ever held up

known to eat pie with knife"
Upon being told of this story of
the pie, Mrs. Weisman exclaimed;
"Why, that's nothing! He went
from Minnesota to Chicago once, to
attend convention, without collar
on, and mother and l were at home
worrying ourselves into fit, and he
never noticed it"

Sharks Fear Noise.

The cowardliness of sharks is
well known among men who have
been much to sea in southern wa,
ters infested by man eaters. The
fiercest shark will get out of the sea
way in very great hurry if the
swimmer, noticing its approach,
sets up a noisy splashing. A shark
is in deadly fear of any sort of liv'
ing thing that splashes in the water
Among the south sea islands the
natives never 60 sea bathing alone

en- or so in order that they may
make the greatest hubbub in the

away. Once in awhile a too ven.
turesome swimmer among these ma
tives foolishly detaches himself
from bis swimming party and mo,
mentarily forgets to keep up hi;
splashing. Then there is swish
and tho man eater comes up be.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
Hs Is One Of the Cieverest Diplomats
In the World.

In the kingdom Of vanity fair
and vanity that is not fair, but
would be, there is the interpreter,
the man who makes free transla-
tions of foibleS, conceits, caprices.
He deals with human nature in the
raw and is an individual without
illusions.
He humbly calls his profession
that of photographer. His associates
know that he is more than simple
maker Of pictures. They will tell
you he is an artist, a psychologist,
a diplomat, a strategist, a person
Of magnetism and affability - in
deed, a combination of those viz
tues which make him call things to
all men,"
Il want a picture like ths ," says
a stout dame, holding up the Ii
ness of a symmetrical membe.
her sex, whe stands erect
bunch Of roses in her hand. -.
Now the photographer realizes
that he is face to face with a s6f
proposition, one Of many in the
days work. He takes q dozen proofs
and sends them for approval. One
is returned with an ink mark drawn
perpendiculsrly along the waist
line. If the instructions are not
written out, as they sometimes are,
the presence of the line means take
that much off-make me thinner
at the waist. Allowing for the fact
that the one eye Of the camera
makes a broader, Aatter surface
than is seen by the two human
eyes, the photographer proceeds to
scrape or doctor" the negative.
And what is the result? The wom-
an gets a picture that suits her fan
cy, but really does not make her 80
thin as she imagines.
One day not long ago a woman
sat before a Fifth avenue photogra-
pher after spending two hours at
hairdresser's. She came back in a
hurry with the proofs and said in
dignantly: "Why, these are awful!
Ny hair has never looked like that
in any picture"
"Did you ever have it done that
way before?" was the polite in
quiry.
The woman was somewhat en-
barrasSed. "No," she admitted, Il
never did"
Then the photographer rebuked
her gently.
There's a moral in this" said
he. 'Never go to the hairdresser
before the photographer. 1t only
makes a person look tired, and the
hairdresser's art doesn't help the
photographer"
Another woman could not under
stand why her chin stuck out SO
far, but she elucidated the mystery
herself when she explained that the
morning of her sitting was the first
on which she had worn an unusual
ly high collar. That naturally
changed her appearance. - W. B.

HUMAN SCI .iECROWS.

lagos OF EneIa..

lagos OF EnsIa..
Human beings as SC, 'ows?
Why not? 1t may seem q and
brutal to an American, but ing
land the human scarecrow is m
mon.
As he stands out there in the
middle of the flat Suffolk field there
is little to show he is not the or
dinary inanimate scarecrow. He
stands motionless for five minutes
at time, and only when a bird Is
tempted by the fresh corn just ap-
pearing above the ground does he
show any sign of life.
From the road outside the field
he looks exactly Ike the eonven-
tional collection Of old clothes
propped upon a stick. Even the
crows are contemptuous of the fg-
ure, and every now and then NUM-
Der Of them appear Eeisurely above
the hedge and settle on the field.
But then it is that the scarecrow
moves. He hits an old tin can with
the rusty handle Of q shovel and
frightens the birds and makes them
fly quickly out Of sight
So he spends his day, this old,
bent man, and at the end he is paid
SO cents. he is the village scare
crow.
Whatever the weather may Be, he.
is expected to be there In rain he
may shelter under the nearest
hedge, but he must watch his fields,
and if the birds take advantage Of
his absence he must go out into the
open and scare them from the corn.
For this old man knows we'll that
he is competing for bis living
against the c.Qthes propped upon a
stick or the dead crows scattered
about the field, and it is necessary
that he should take a certain pride
in his profession.
Unless he can show the farmer
that he is more effective than the
conventional scarecrows he cannot
make a living in the few months
between the sowing of the seed and
the appearance of the corn.
While the boys of the village are
in school he can earn enough in
these few moNths Of the year to
keep him from the workhouse. He
is still capable of soaring birds.
His very clothes are quali6ca-
ton. He looks exactly like scare
crow, and he has the advantage of
being able to hit an old tin can
with the rusty handle of a shovel.
At l o'clock he has his dinner Of
bread and cheese by the side of the
hedge, but every now and then he
gets up and looks around to see
that tht, fields are free from birds.
Sometimes when the day is cold
er than usual his granddaughter
from the cottage a mile away
brings him a hot dinner in a basin
covered with a cloth, and while he
eats she talks to him about her
school and if a bird appears runs
carefully on to the field and claps
her hands and frightens it.
And then the old man-this
shabby guardian of the felds-is
left alone. The only suggestion of
life is a collection of old clothes
propped upon a stick in the field
a mile away.
And when the old man looks at
this silent competitor of his he is
filed with new energy and strides
of to the field, making a great
noise with his old tin can.-Balti-
