In his lecture here Tuesday
night DR.. Linn said a great big
truth when he attributed the
many errors of our moral and
commercial life to the unrest OF
the people in general. Look
where you will, and where will
you find a man who is %contented
no matter how prosperous he
may be? Indeed, what doth it
profith a man if he gain the
whole world. Does he not in the
end have to lie down and de the
same as the beggar? Unrest has
become a crime of no insignifi-
cant nature.-Gilliam Globe.

interest. The total amount re-
ceived was 81 ,655,51S.27. Chas.
p. Taft, brother Of the president

tribution of $4,000. The great
bulk OF the fund was received
from smaller contributors $1,000
and under, and there was a great
host of $40, ) and 1 subscrip-
tons. The absence Of big corpor-
atoms from among the contribu-

More and more as we grow we
appreciate the finer traits that
are in human nature. Men going
out into life never forget the
mother who stays at home, and
who has presented to them a ma
ture with a reason dominant
with a high moral sense, with re-
fined and sweet affections, with
taste, with patience with gentle
ness with self sacrifice, with dis
interestedness. A man may go
through all the world, he may
run through all the word, he
may run through every stage OF
belief and disbelief, but there
will be one picture that he can
not efface. Living or dying
there will rise up before him
like a morning star the beauty OF
that remembered goodness which
he called "mother."-Ex.

Their arrest dates back 10 August

were wagIng a crusade against the

The police secured the evidence against

Austrian Government Begins
Investigation Into Explo-

BUDAPEST, Nov. 13.-Through an
accidental explosion in the river Drina
near Sevornik today. it was discovered
that Servians are planting mines in all
the streams between their country and
the province of Bosnia, which Austria
recently annexed.
The government at Unce began an in
vestigatiOn. and If the results bear out
its fears, it is believed that nothing can
restrain the people rom invading
SeTVia.
The invasion Of Bosnia by bands OF
Servian guerrillas, who are aiding the
BOsnians in their resistance TO the
Austrian soldiers, has added to the Bit
terness Of feeling and an ultimatum VIII
likely be sent to Belgrade soon, de-
handing that the movement OF Warlike
Seryians into Bosnia stop, under penalty
of the SerVian government being neld
responsible.
So far Servia has denied all RESPONSE
