New York, Oct 5.-The Rev. DR..
Charles F. Aked of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church, of which the Rockefel-
lers are members, read and answered
the criticisms of the Christian pulpit
by the Rev. D. H. Carrick of Lawrence,
Kan.
You see.'' he said, Mr.. Carrick says:
All ministers are liars Suppose we
say: We are not Isn't it obvious
that he will retort: Yes, 1 know what
you say, but-youre lying He assures
us that a minister Of the Gospel cannot
lead an honest life
Nov, l would say an honest man is
honest anywhere, and a minister of the
Gospel has fewer temptations than any
other man. Fewer temptations than a
doctor when he needs money and there
patient. Fewer, far fewer, Nlan a law
yer and hundreds of other.
"The Truth Doesn't offend"
Maybe, though. Mr.. Carrick means
that the main temptation of the min
lister is to withhold the truth lest he
offend. I do not believe that the truth
from the pulpit does offend. 1t may
thousand. Anyone who has even fol-
lowed the sermonic periodicals knows
that the soil is titled for the truth.
Christian religion is ready for it. All
WHO nave WTltl0H Ut dll WHO T0dQ are
ready for the truth. They are with US.
Only those who neither write nor read
are against US.
But, on the other hand, one cannot
blame the congregation that is Offend
ed by the minister who shouts from
the pulpit: Return unto the Lord The
true minister of the Gospel says, hum
bly,: Let US return unto the Lord to-
getber.'
However, 1t is not my impression
here in this city that ministers fear to
denounce. Personally, think there has
teen enough denunciatlon from the
Pulpit. Far too many have cried:
Down with all that is up. The Chris
tan doctrine is: Up with all that is
town. He'll centered religion is a thing
Of the past.
He'd Have All Salaries Doubled.
For myself, I believe that the pres
INT salary of every minister should be
doubled. A man should not be made
% feel that when he enters the min-
stry he leaves all other ambition be-
hind, and that there will never be the
means necessary to carry forward his
ambitions. 1t is blighting to realize
hat a life of perjury lies before one.
Besides this, q mar hesitateS to ask Il
-irl to share poverty and hardship 1t
S normal and right to consider the
uture of those dependent upon you"

church in North Lawrence, resigned
several days ago to become street car
conductor at 500 month. He said that

At the Novelty.

The Venetian Street Musicians at the
Novelty this week, have a high class
musical act three violins and harp,
and no better attraction has been given
on the local vaudeville stage in this or
former seasons They play with fire
and passion. and eat up the familiar
classics which everybody loves. At
their first appearance at the matinee
performance Monday they played the
Miserere from II Trovatore, for solo
violin, a variation on the Welsh ma
tionaI air. Men of Harlech for the harp.
Schubert'S Serenade, the fntermeZZo
from Cavalleria Rusticana and a med
ley of popular music and took fiv% cur
tain calls. Roy Crawford saw the act
at a Seattle vaudeville house this sum-
mer when they took twelve curtains,
but five was going some for a Topeka
audience and a matinee at that. Ben
Boyer, trick bicycliSt who has been in
Topeka before, and his brother have
some new business and put on an I'M
usually good act of its kind. Slater
Brockman, monologist, has some stories
that prove the exception to the rule
that the new vaudeville jokes aren't
good and the good ones aren't new.
Warren and Francis, comedy acrobats,
are clever performers and introduce
lot of ''pepp'' into their turn. Miss
Hazel Kaiser. the Novelty stock vocal
list, is singing Creole Days, from the
Beauty Spot score which was sung so
here by George McFarlane
before last. Clever Conkey, the Jug
Cling monologist, keeps six in the air
and his mouth working all at once,
and the Novel-scope pictures are better
than usual. In fact the bill is well
worth while. The Venetian Street

AT the Majestic.

The North Brothers company in Sol
Smith Russells great play, "a Bach
elor's Romance" has the best stock
company production ever given in To-
peka- "a Bachelors Romance is a
quiet sort of a play with plenty of
comedy at the proper place, but tenn
ing for the most part with serious
dramatic situations. It seems to be
just the kind of a production that the
TopekanS want, and at every act last
night the company accepted curtain
calls. The two principal roles are well
handled by Mr. Minturn and Miss Rus
sell. Mr. Minturn makes good as a
gruff old bachelor, whom the accumu-
lation of years and the intense atten-
ton to business, has made confirmed
in his life of single blessedness. Miss
Russell as Sylvia Summers, appears as
a sweet innocent young lass who has
been given to the bachelor as a ward
but whom he had never seen until she
was just poisoning into womanhood
She plays her part we'll, and holds the
audience, through her rich dramatic
scenes, and at last she touches the
heart of her guardian by her simple
girlish ways.

North Brothers present the best sal
anced company of the season. In the
supporting cast every one gives a

Foster, startled for the moment, wheeled round
to find shrinking group of servants his butler, cook
sweeper water carrier, dog boy etc. They salaamed
low and protested in chorus that nothing would have
induced them to return from place of better
ity than tent but anxiety regarding the American
Sahibs safety. In reality their courage had been
warmed up by the sun, and as they likely to do
appeared from nowhere in particular.

to the pugs in the earth.

but shook his head, Whether they turn inward or
not, he remarked there ghost about the
tiger l saw"
"Sahib that tiger will come back for his rent!''
Not if l know i'll" Foster declared emphaticaly
But as this was matter requiring serious thought
Foster wisely ordered his early breakfast. During
breakfast he called in his servants and learned as
much they knew about the ways and habits of
tigers, ghostly or otherwise In land of ghosts

That is very bad Sahib. So if the heavenborn
pleases it would be wise to make offering the
priest. He is very holy man. Sahib and with much
power over the jungle animals
Not on your life" cried Foster theoretically
kicking off boot. I've stood for ghost yarn to-
day; but I'm not going to be fooled with another.
It's thing to pay attention to well-young
Queen in trouble that way but quite different when
it comes to jungle priest If he expects to get
money out of me any tiger ghost story, he's mis-
taken. l don't take particle of stock in his tiger
ghost-just don't believe in it,
Very well, Sahib submissive1y acquiesced
Durga Deb. 1t is as the Sahib says If the Sahib
pleases there is tiger ghost and all who say there
is are liars
Yes" added Foster on second thought born
of experience, and if that priest puts any such
foolish notion into the heads of my coolies, I'll
shoot lightning into his old shanty of temple
You tell him that and anything else along the
same line that occurs to your exuberant fancy

The Sahib always speaks with wisdom When
he opens his mouth his servant listens. 1t shall

In spite of Durga Deb's protestation, Foster felt
there might be mischief foot. There had
been trouble before the perqustes of the water
god with the ecclesiastical authority, arrested
only by Fosters peremptory firmness So he went
among the coolies to ascertain if the jungle god
priest had been attempting to brighten them from
their work. but meeting with assurances to the con-
trary, he thought he might have done the priest
injustice. But early next morning he changed his

SUDDENLY he startled by deep growing

suggestion Of large body stealthily parting the
dergrowth. The bullock backed away to the end Of
its rope and stood in posture Of pifu helplessness.
All animate creatures seemed to be holding their
breaths in suspense at the coming of the Lord of the
Jungle. Again the cough sounded nearer, and Fos-
ters blood cold he realized that the tiger had
made detour of the compound and entered the
bamboo clunp a few yards back of his feet.
1t is thing to set trap for tiger expecting
him to walk into it according to nice calculation,

How in the world then was he to rid himself of such

TN the smoke he drew in from the cheroot seemed
: inspiration that sent him hurrying UP to
the powerhouse. First of all he tested the genera
tors. Then he called his coolies and set them to
work in activity approaching hustle. His main
purpose was to line through the treetops from
the powerhouse to the cump Of bamboos where
Stripes had appeared in the morning. In the mean
time he built narrow platform in the clump of bam-
boos raised about seven feet from the ground and
long enough to recline upon at full length. From
that position within easy reach of his hand he fixed

switchboard for the powerhouse line and from it
another line out into the compound
This work took up the best part of the day and
when completed he requisitioned bullock from
neighboring farmer. Having tethered the bullock
a short rope to stake in the compound he
twisted some metal into collar round the beasts
neck and attached the line from the switchboard to
the collar Then he watered and sailed the ground
round the bullock.
Foster surveyed the completion of these proceed
ings with satisfaction. IF old Stripes only does
come around" he smiled, ghost or ordinary tiger
/ guess there will be something doing"
He went back to the powerhouse to make sure that
the machinery running smoothly, locked up the
place securely, and sent the coolies away He then
returned to close up the tents in the compound and
to station his servants in conceament within hailing
distance Thrusting his pistol into pocket more
a moral protective stimuant than with any idea of
using it effectively, he lay down the platform in
the clump of bamboos and waited He had selected
that position as less cramping on long watch and
secure from discovery.

pIleSL ndu Deen attempting TO lIlS
their work; but, meeting with assur;
trary, he thought he might have dc
injustice. But early next morning
opinion, for short space at least.
WHEN he called for Durga Deb
!" to bring his early breakfast,
there was no response. When he
stepped outside his tent, single
look showed him that the camp was
deserted. 1t was then he swore he
would have the scalp of the jungle
god priest. A moment later glance
in another direction seemed to raise
the scalp on his own head per-
ceptibly. Through the mist that
chung to the land surface he saw
gray object sitting on its launches
under a clump of bamboos where
the jungle swept round and en-
croached upon the compound.
To Fosters recently awakened
vision the gray object presented the
appearance of a tiger ghost of
gigantic proportions. The tiger
ghost, if such it was, was taking a
leisurely survey of Fosters tent
from distance of about fifty PAGES.
Presently shaft of sunlight sweep
ing aside the mist shone full upon
the pale yellow body with its velvet
like bands and the black and white
marks on the head of very real
tiger. Fosters jaw dropped a little,
as any mans may on first intro
duction to the terror Of the jungle
entirely at liberty; but he stood
his ground, as instinct warned him
that any movement of retreat
might bring the beast down on his
defenseless position.
So they maint aimed their relative
positions for full minute, Foster
taking in the probable offensive
power of the tiger, and the tiger
looking over Foster somewhat dis
painfully. Then the tiger rose,
walked obliquely across the line of
Fosters sight, took the jungle path
leading up toward the powerhouse,
and disappeared.
Foster gave expression to a deep
outpouring of breath. 1t had been
rather trying experience. Great
Scott" he exclaimed, pulling him
self together. That wasn't any
ghost tiger. If the jungle priest
referred to him he was away off il
muscle and sinew. Wonder if il
passing call, or if Stripes intends t
neighborhood!"
Foster retreated to his tent, and

to return. Then he went out to the
