The chiId's Mind and the Infinite.

The problem is: How can pain, misery and sin exist under the rule .of a God all-wise, all-powerful and all loving?
 Step by step we shall have to make our way to an aswer. And the journey begins with recognition of the truth that a thing can not both be and not be at the same time. It sounds absurd, though the student knows that the apparent absurdity is one of the primary laws of thought. The value of it as a formula begins to appear when 1t is made to read more fully: A thing can not both be and not be at the same time.i And God Himself can not make it sol
 An English preacher, now dead, once described to me how as a boy he tried to understand how God could do everything" writes the Rev. Charles F. Aked, D. D., in Appleton's for February He had been taught that, and his childs mind busied itself with facts that seemed to con- trovert the statement. He tried to understand how God could make a
 
 same time. For hours together the child, left alone in a room, occupied himself in opening and closing a window, moving it slowly, swiftly, a little open, wide open, shut-and all the time trying, not himself to make open and closed at the same time, for he knew he could not do it, but trying to understand how 1t could be done by a God who could do everything" Well, his friends re- membrance of the intellectual troub les of his childhood has brought back to the writer his own. Travelling by train morning and evening, six days a week, that same intellectual problem presented itself to the ju- venile philosopher in his early teens; and he tried to understand how God could move forward. in the confined space open to experiment the boy moved backward, and to tried to work out an explanation of God being able to move in two opposite direc tions at the same time, for God could do everything"

SOUR STOMACH IS A
 SIGN OF INDIGESTION

If you occasionally have a taste of sour food in your mouth, it surely shows that the food you are taking into your stomach is not being di- gested, but instead, is fermenting and giving out poisonous gases.
 Belchfng of gas is common symp- tom at such times, and also that lump of lead feeling, as if your stom- ach was carrying a much greater load than it could stand.
 These, are sure symptoms of indi- gestion, and should be attended to at once.

SPIRIT DICTATED TO sARDoU.
French Dramatist Wrote and Drew
 Pictures While "Under Control"

Before he made his reputation by writing plays Victorien Sardou, the French dramatist, who was deeply in- terested in spiritualism, had remark able experience in taking dictation. He had been interested in occult phe- nomena, and, by chance, he came into communication with a spirit person. aliyt who signed himself Bernard Pa lissy." NJ. Sardou, who recently passed into the larger life, has told the story of his experiments In an article en- tied. "Only the Blindly Ignorant Scoff," in the February Delineator. He says:
 One day, in my room with two friends, I thought I would make the little table where we had taken our coffe run about the room, as had often done when alone. Without say ing anything I put my hand on the table but it would not budge. I tried in vain all the time they Were there to make it move, but to no avail. AS soon as they were gone I could make it do what I pleased, even jump clear off the floor. So I took/m my pencil and asked: But why would you not make the table move while my friends were herer The hand which held the pen cil wrote: 'They were too stupid"
 Shortly after this I was sitting by my table one day, idling. dreaming, not making any effort to do anything in particular. All of sudden my hand began to work on the paper before me with a rapidity and precision which astonished me.
 And it kept this tlp for close to two hours. The result was a fantastic piece of work drawn in delicate lines, fine almost as a spiders web, and at the bottom a }signature-"Bernard Palissy."

They Wanted the Preacher to Marry

My predecessor in this parish was informed upon application to the par ish committe that only married man would be,considered. He married; and began an uphill struggle on a salary of s400 a year. In order to make both ends meet h had to devote much of his time to outside issues, which pol icy was detrimental to his pulpit work and unsatisfactory to his parishiOn- CTS, who did not see him in their homes as often as they thought they ought What would you have?

LIGHT-FINGERED
They Visit Sauk Centre and Carry
Away Three Hundred Dollars,
Easy Money

At S o'clock Monday afternoon,
when Mrs. Chas. Brown went tn get
some money from the top drawer of
the bureau that stood in the sitting
room, she unlocked the drawer, but
was dismayed to find that some person
had been there before her and taken
a little bank with $500, also sum
of s65.OO belonging to the Ladies of
the Maccabees and roll of bills,
the whole aggregating 100000.
1t is thought that some person
visited the room during the noon
hour when Mrs. Brown is serving din
ner to travellers while the trains stop,
and stole the money. Probably the
deed was done by some one who had
sized up the situation previously and
watched his opportunity to commit
the robbery. The matter was placed
in the hands of the police.

MEN OF FINANCE

House by the local bankers. Sixty
five covers were laid. G. NJ. Sprague
was POSTMASTER. The speakers sched-
uled were w. E. Lee of Alexandria,
Tolleff Jacobson of Alexandria, Jas.
Chapman, Jr. of Minneapolis, DR.. J.
A. Dubois, F. NJ. Eddy and M. G.
Kelsey of this place. Messrs. Jacob
son and Kelsey were not present.
Mr.. Lee referred to the Importance
of the banker in the community and
said among other things that Mime
sofa has more banks to the square
mile than any other northwestern
state.
Dr. Dubois was introduced as
''Sauk Cenere's foremost citizen"
and his warm reception proved the
proposition. The doctor amused and
entertained in characteristic style
and emphasized the idea advanced by
Mr.. Chapman in the afternoon that
bankers are giving up their petty
differences and working for bigger
things.
Mr.. Chapman talked seriously, Civ
ing much good advice, and digressed
long enough to say that in converse
tion with Lucas Kells he had learned
that that gentleman has sliding
scale of interest rate. This brought
out laugh, Mr.. Kells joining in.
Frank NJ. Eddy convulsed his hear
ers with his witticisms, as usual.
! Among other things he said he be-
longed to large class of citizens that
make it possible for bankers to own
automobiles and wear diamonds.
At one point the POSTMASTER stated
that the bankers present at the BAN
quet represented banking capital of
81, 900, 900, paid in capital of 81 zoo, 900,
and deposits of S15,OOO,OOO.
Others who responded to toasts
were: Mr.. Culver, cashier of the Ger
man American National Bank of st.
Paul; Rev. ]. T. B. Smith of Sank
Centre; E. G. Craddick, editor of the
Commercial West, Minneapolis; C. L.
Atwood and w. w. Smith of St.
Cloud; Geo. r. Frost, secretary of the
Minnesota Bankers Association;
Messrs. Nelson of st. Paul and Orde
of Chicago.
The banquet was served in fine
style by Landlord A. w. Austin, the
tables being decorated with flowers
and candelabra.
A short business session was held
at o'clock Friday morning. Officers
were elected as follows: pres,
G. E. Oakley, Buffalo; vice pres, C.
L. Atwood, St. Cloud; sec.-treas., E.
Fl. Sherwin, Monticello. Members
executive committee: w. E. Parker,
Wadena; J. H. Marchie, Little Falls.
Member executive council Minnesota
Bankers Association, w. A. Shaw,
Clearwater. Resolutions were adopt
ed approving the passage of the
Thorpe bill by the last legislature,
and rendering appreciative thanks to
the bankers and citizens generally Of
Sauk Centre for their courtesy and
! entertainment. Wadena was chosen
as the next place of meeting.
After adjournment the delegates
were taken out for automobile trips,
citizens rendering their machines for
the purpose. Some also took rides
on the lake. ...
The last of the delegates left on the
main and branch line trains at LAO
and l:5O p. M, all expressing delight
with their treatment while here.
The success of the convention was
due largely to the efforts of the local
committee, c. M. Sprague, L. Kells

Surely no one in Montpelier is SO blind
as not to be able to see that the effort at the
council meeting Thursday night Of last week
to suspend the rules and pass an ordinance
providing for the midnight closing of saloons
was made for political effect only. The
democratic city platform is silent on this
question, but the effort to pass the ordi-
nance under suspension of the rules was
made by the democratic nominee for mayor
solely for the purpose of killing the plank
in the republican platform, which declares
in favor of midnight closing. The republi-
cans we're honest i'm that declaration and if
the party is placed in power by the people
next Tuesday, that pledge will be redeemed
That the effort to pass the ordinance last
week was political trick, is apparent to
all, and no one will believe for a moment
that the effort would have been made had
the republicans like the democrats, remain
ed silent on the question of midnight clos
ing The refusal Of the council to suspend
the rules AMI pass the proposed ordinance
does not mean that it has been killed; il
means that the ordinance will have to take
lis regular course and come before the coun
ell for final action at the second regular
meeting of that body in April.

While he registration for the election
next Tuesday shows up we'll, the result is
largely due to the fact that the registrars
have personally visited the homes in their
respective wards. Registrars should not
be compelled to do this in order to give
electors that qualification which the law
requires of all who wish to exercise the
light Of suffrage 1t has gotten to be
custom, though, we believe throughout the
state for registrars to canvass their districts
not only for city elections but also for the
general state elections. OF course it is to
the interest of the registrars, from a
financial standpoint, to do this, but we
think the custom should be discouraged.
In fact it ought to be prohibited by law.
exceptin extreem cases. If people, general
", were as interested as they should be in
elections they would eagerly seek the
registrars and thus qualify themselves to
express their choice on election day for
those who are seeking office.
