many earthly physicians fail in the collec-
ton of fees for services rendered, this
Great Physician has personal experiences
of similar character. The new testament
reports that when his son cured ten lepers
only one returned to even thank him for
the job and it is probable that the same
proportion of gratifed demonstration is
manifested today.
The report states that Mrs. Lewis, while
attending a revival service had the mis-
fortune to have a bug crawl up her nose
The most violent sneezlng failed to dis
lodge it, The bug settled down and built
a home from which a settlement sprang,
eighty-six members, all told. Although the
original bug was simply a squatter, with
a prior claim to the territory having been
established, the squatter refused to bulge
until he got good and ready to emigrate.
OF course, it never occurred to the unfortu-
nate woman that had she been giving her
time and attention to her household duties
and had missed that revival, the bug would
never have got there in the first place.
The original visitation and settlement was
not looked upon, by Mrs Lewis, as an act
of god, but the divine afflatus is supposed
to have so worked upon the mother bug,
through prayer and faith, that she broke
camp and carried off her progeny to other
and more inviting parts. 1t may be that
the original settler, the pioneer bug had
found that the accommodations were too
cramped for any further increase of the
and lott tod
cessty for emigration. In any event it was
a of claim-jumping with which the
Lord had to be called in to settle the dis
pute Mrs. Lewis claimed priority of right
over the bugs regarding the claim in dis
pute and with the Lord on her side as
special arbitrator she won out The bugs
might have stood Mrs. Lewis off had she
contended alone but no sooner did the
Lord butt in than the settlers vamoosed
and left Mrs. Lewis in undisputed posses
sion.
We can express sympathy with any man
or woman in distress but when the pre-
posterous claim is made that the Lord had
interviewed to cause the unlimited bugs to
vacate the premises, in that a writ of
forcible entry and detainer would not have
reached the controversy, the absurdity OF
religion and the follies it nculcates become
subjects of ridicule.

AN ORTHODOX GRAB GAME.

When a truly pious person is in trouble
that trouble is carried to the Lord in
prayer. When pous fakes get into a con-
troversy they dare not trust to the Lord but
prefer court of law and human justice
is made of higher regard than divine
wisdom.
The congregation of the Christian church
at Valley Junction, Ia, has accused their
former pastor Rev. l.. w. McCray, of de-
liberate theft, in that they charge him
with taking and carrying away from their
jurisdictional care and scrutiny, one dining
hall, and act held to be against the
peace and dignity of the state. Under
stand the dining hall in controversy
is OF a public character and profits, in
cash, are to be extracted therefrom This
is the cause of the dispute. The preacher
AYERS that the hall belongs to him and
that he had resigned his pastorate in order
to run it admittedly for the sake of the
profits realized therefrom. The preacher
is reported to have operated 1t successfully
and now the congregation, claiming him as
their pastor, demands divvy. The parson
refuses to take them in on the deal and a
new shuttle is demanded with some Judge
presiding over the game. One may sup
pose that like all church institutions of a
similar character, the dining hall was a
case of deliberate hold up, with malice
aforethought and with intent to over
charge. In the first place both preacher
and congregation ought to have known
better. 1t must have been an arrant hum
bug. a fact suggested by the statement
junction with the Iowa State Fair, and
known as the Wayside Inn. OF course the
parson was onto his job. He did not wish
to muster in as a parson and run way
side Inn at the same time, hence his resig-
nation, but he did expect the congregation
to work for him. 1t appears that the con-
gregation did labor and turned many of the
fair visitors to the Inn which resulted in
splendid profits but, alas and alack, the
profits accruing from the enterprise went
into the parsons pocket and then the con-
gregaton god mad and flew to the courts.
Gentle Reader! This quarrel is not over
or concerning some lost soul, some one to
be saved from the divine wrath to come,
but over few golden coins that each side
expects to jingle for the glory of god and
personal pleasures of the respective claim
ants. Why worship they not god instead
of mammon?

SUCH A HOLINESS 1T WAS!

A papal benediction, specially applied
and administered, is usually a costly ex-
pertinent and can only be had upon a large
money payment. The ordinary merchant,
ambitious. striving, reaching out for new
business, will of a necessity indulge in a
large amount of advertising. This method

dell and that he is anxious to dispose of
them. At times great bargains are offered.
The advertisement informs wouldbe pur-
chasers OF his line of goods that ne is still
doing business at the same old stand and
acts, in general way, as invitation.
Turning over the recent accounts of the
wedding of Miss Vanderbilt to the Hunga-
rian Count with the sneezy name, it is ex-
tremely interesting to observe that Pope
Pious X transmitted his apostolic bene-
diction to the newly welded pair, and that
he also sent special word to them that he
hoped that within a short time thereafter
he would be able to impart his blessing to
them at the vatican in person. 1t is also
reported that the benediction was sent to
New York from Rome, by cable, addressed
to Archbishop Farley, who in turn trans
mtted it to Mgr. Lavelle, who performed
the marriage ceremony and in turn de-
livered it to the contracting couple. Con-
sidering the several channels of holiness
through which this benediction passed it
should be possessed of greater power on
the principle that the holiness gathered in
volume as it went. The benediction might
have been bad enough, but when Miss
Vanderbilt had to buy count along with
it the personal membranes are sufficient
to counterbalance the effect. At any rate
Miss Gladys took the count with Mgr.
Lavelle as officiating umpire and if we can
judge by the past it will not be so long be-
fore she will take the count" in some
court of chancery with a Judge thereof as
referee.
But why should the papal benediction
be. so recklessly bestowed in this instance
and denied TO Bridget and Pat when they en-
ter the marriage state? All are of the same
clay, nodded by the same divine hand, and
all made in the image of deity. All!
Friends! Behind it all turks the secret
longing for gold, that metal by which
power is bought. Poor Bridget has none.
Miss Vanderbilt has enough to furnish her
no-account count with spending money for
life Rome also has an eye on it. A bene-
diction is worth something, but when an
invitation is extended to visit the Pope in
person and receive a blessing at his hands,
it means more cash for the church and his
Holiness has one eye on the business end
of the vatican The new countess will get
the blessing, for veal or woe. The pope
will yet the Vanderbilt cash for material
as well as spiritual welfare Both will BIT
satisfied and happy. The Pope will con-
tinue to grant benedictions and blessings
on a cash basis and Miss Vanderbilt shine
in the Hungarian courts until her liege lord
has been able to buy himself decent
suit of underwear with her money and yet
people wonder why it's So

time of this writing, Wednesday af-
ternoon the sum has reached $1,000.
Mrs. Neil Boyle is chairman of this
committee and will be very glad to
receive notice by phone or in per-
son, of any good intention on your
part to increase the sum.
The result of the conference with
the town council asking for a special
election to be called, will be told you
next week OF course it will be
favorable, however.
Now. We have heard Of some
speculative rumors that few Of our
good people do not approve because
of the price paid In this regard we
would suggest that, should this be
your opinion, you will ask yourself
the following question: "If this
was my property, and some one came
to purchase, what value would place
upon TT" The chances are you would
consider it cheap at $2500, wouldn't
you? But now, since 1t is the pro-
perty of another, why $1,000 is en-
tirely too much you say.
Again, when this white mantle of
snow, that mercifully covers so much
that is unsightly goes off, walk out
to the cemetery, take good look and
with unprecedented mind and
thoughtful intent consider the con-
dition of the grounds where we are
wont to carry those who are dearest
to us, and perhaps flowed beauty and
order and carefulness in life. VIII
it be pleasant retrospect, if per-
chance in year you are called upon
to deliver to this unsightly bramble
patch loved one, to think you OPP
posed a wholesome movement on the
part of those whom death had al
ready caused to suffer likewise, to
place in good keeping forever the
grounds where perhaps the greatest
pleasure and joy Of their hearts lay
waiting for the reunion of soul and
body? The bodies buried there may
know nothing of their surroundings
now, but picture if you will resur-
rection morning when all should arise
and see where their friends had al
lowed them to sleep SO long. No,
my friend and fellow man, deep
down in your heart you realize this
is the best proposition you have
known for our town and Its people,
and you will work for 1t earnestly,
won't you?

V. 1. S. Work Assuming Proportions

Since last weeks issue the MEM
bers of the Village Improvement
Society have been about the busiest
women you ever heard of. At the
Friday p. m. meeting much detail
was carefully gone over that each
member present might be made well
acquainted with business matters in
connection with the deal, that are
sometimes difficult for women to
understand, but should be thoro-
ughly comprehended before actual
work is commenced. Dr. Minnie
Howard of Pocatello, in addressing
the district federation last fall on
matters of civic. intent said, "Get full
ly informed on your subject, then do
team work" The Society was nncon-
sciously taking the advice given the
federated clubs by DR.. Minnie last
Friday, and is now about ready to
do team work"
The Society was pleased to have
meet with them, Messrs. Kennedy,
Fowler, Boyle and Christy, who gave
them valuable advise and assisted
much in the final forming of con-
illusions, which resulted in the chair
appointing committee to confer with
members of the town council and Mr..
Biethan as to the definite, final and
detailed arrangements.
This committee met at the office of
Mr.. Brown and reported as follows:
