THIS WORK IS TOOL
CHEST OF THOUGHT
Book That Sums Up All Knowl-
edge Being Placed in Hum
dreds of Homes

Many OF us do not think. we merely
think we think. Thus the mind is
clouded with vague impressions, it is
hazy, it slouches along and does not
improve
Why? For one reason because real
thought is impossible unless there are
words to express the thought. 1t is
absolutely impossible for many people
to indulge in certain lines of thought
because they do not know the words
necessary to the expression of the
thought
Language is the tool chest Of
thought, says popular writer of the
day. He quotes Lord Bacons discus
sion of the effect of language and it's
study upon the human mind. Bacon
said:
Reading maketh a full man"
Writing maketh an exact man."
Ialklng maketh a ready man..
Bacon did not refer TO any question
OF the correct use of language. He
referred to the effect of reading, writ
ing and talking upon the human mind.
AT the same time, Bacon's definition
talking may be useful to our readers
and to others who want to improve
their English
Reading gives you ideas, knowledge
and big vocabulary-that is to say.
a big collection of words that you can
use.
Writing teaches you to be exact in
the expression of thought.
The writing hand holds back the
C0nlDalS tn hp deti 70 &C
1T time TO formulate the thoughts con-
cisely
Talking. Bacon says, "maketh
a ready man." 1t compels instant re-
sponse, it forces us to give expression
to the thought as the thought is
formed.
Man differs from the animals in that
he is creature with the capacity to
think. to study, to improve himself.
This writer advises the practice of
reading, writing and. talking for the
Improvement of the mind. He says
Read good, well written books One
of the very best books from every
point of view is the bible. The Old
Testament is beautiful, the New Testa-
ment is inspiring, elevating.
The language of Old and New
Testament may undoubtedly be called
the very best English that has ever
English speech and the written Eng
lish language owe to the men that
translated King James edition of the
bible.
"Bunyon is a good author for men
that want to use English vigorously
and simply.
Dickens is another. Those are old
fashioned names, but don't imagine
that any one of the six best sellers
OF today can take their place
Read with a dictionary; when you
don't know the exact meaning of a
word or Its pronunciation look it up
Have good dictionary, one that gives
the derivation of words You use the
language much more intelligently if
you know its origin.
Practice reading out loud. You
may read good English to yourself in
definitely and still speak incorrectly.

HELP TOTS TO SEE
NEVER, NEVER LAND
"Peter Pan" Matinee Will Aid
Orphans in Securing Fresh
Air Camp

Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the rest
nave consented to help supply sub
stitute for their Never, Never Land"
for group of unfortunate children,
who don't know how to fly away. In
other words there is to be a benefit
matinee performance of Peter Pan" at
the valencia theater Thursday, April
10, at o'clock, the proceeds of which
are TO go toward providing fresh
air camp in the Santa Cruz mountains
for the SO little orphans of the Maud
y. Booth home. Every child who buys
ticket may help Peter Pan in this
wonderful work. and it is hoped that
great many little maids and lads will
be given theater parties on that after
noon 1t will be an opportunity for
parents to make happy not only their
own children, but those who have
neither fathers nor mothers to care for
them.
The Maud B. Booth home for orphaned
children was organized September %.
1904, and since that time it has cared
for more than 700 children. 1t was
begun by the Volunteers OF America
and is conducted by Mrs. Walter Dun
can, whose services are given without
salary. Sixty children are being cared
for in the home, the girls being
while the boys are taught various oc
cupations. 1t is hoped that some day
farm for the training of the boys in
agricultural pursuits may be added to
the home.
1t is not part of the plan of the
slrectors that alarge institution
shall be founded, but whenever pos
sible the children are placed in fami-
lies, IA having been put in private
homes in the last four months.
The home is dependent on voluntary
contributions for the continuance of its
work, and has the Endorsement of many
civic bodies and leading citizens of the
city.
1t is hoped that enough will be real
ized at the Peter Pan" matinee to
equip hospital room in the home, in
addition to furnishing means toward
the establishment of the camp. The
land, in part of the Santa Cruz noun
tains which is as beautiful as Peters
tree top house, has been given, and
only the money to equip it is needed.
Every child should go to see Peter
Pan" and no better oportunity will be
afforded than this matinee.

STARTLING ATTACK
BY CRITIC OF BIBLE
Prof. B. Sharman Says Gospels
of Matthew, Mark and John
Are GarbIed Reports

CHICAGO, April 3.-Higher criticism
OF the bible. more startling at many
points than that advanced by Prof.
George B. Foster. is voiced by Prof.
Henry B. Sharman. instructor in New
Testament history and literature in the
University of Chicago divinity school,
in a book on The Teaching of Jesus
About the Future" issued today from
the university press.
Professor Sharman, in an exhaustive
consideration of the gospels of Matthew.
Mark and Luke. reduces much of the
contents of these books to what he con-
siders garbled reports of Christs say
ings, false interpretations of Christ's
views by outside influence, false mes
sal ges concerning future life and fu-
ture punishment and unauthentfc tales
Of Christ's life
He casts doubt upon the chief tenets
Of the orthodox church, which he re-
CARDS as the products of wrong inter
pretations of the New Testament.
That Jesus did not preach the doc
trine Of heaven" and "heIl and the
day of judgment and did not commits
sion his disciples to preach the gospel,
are among the professors assertions.
He divides the material of the synoptfc
gospel into what Jesus probably said. .
what the earliest editors of the gospel
thought he said or would like to repre-
sent him as saying" and What later
editors thought it best to represent him
as saying"

EITs this the Union railroadT asked
an imperious feminine voice OF T.
Hannibal Jacobs yesterday.
Madame" replied T. Hannibal, this
is the Union Pacific railroad"
"oh. very well, it's all the same
thing. know said the voice. NO
subterfuges go with me. You just
come right out here with pail OF
grease and a brush. and oil the car
tracks in front Of my house at Sacra-
mento and First avenue. The noise
something horrible. I was unable to
sleep all night"
Look here"
What's that2, I want no back talk.
You just come out right away"
There is wailing among the ranks
OF the commuters who come up from
Palo Alto, Los Altos and San Jose to
this city. II is tedious journey, they
allege from their charming suburban
residences and in order TO forget they
are commuters they play an innocent
game of poker on the train.
This simple pleasure, they assert. has
been ruthlessly interrupted They do
not blame the Southern Pacific, but
hint that the man who has the peanut
privilege on the cars is TO blame.
The newsboys had made card tables
which they rented for so cents between
here and San Jose. These tables were
always taken by commuters and the
newsboys picked up a few cents in a
proper and honorable manner.
Now there are no more tables to be
had, as an order has gone forth for
bidding their use. This attempt TO re-
form the morals of the commuter has
failed, however for il has not pre-
vented the playing Of cards. for he il
a man of resources and so used TO make
shifts that nothing can disturb his
equanimity or defy his ingenuity. Dress
suit cases were made into card tables
on the run 10 the city yesterday morn
prepared to present to the proper au-
thorities asking that tables be per
mitted on the local trains.
When a man is tired out with a
hard days work he needs little rec
reation. said commuter yesterday,
"and why deprive him of this harm
less pleasure? l. too, feel deeply for
the poor little newsboy. Poor, poor
boyi He could make a few dimes a
day by giving US the use of a card
table. and now he is to be deprived
Of this modest little source of income.
Why. hang it all, I had to carry a dress
suit case on my knees all the way from
Palo Alto It's an outrage. That is

through this port have received the
support of the Pacific Coast steamship
company This line has arranged 10
give the same freight rate from this
port to Nome. ST. Michael and adjacent
Alaskan territory as apply from Seat
tie. This is exceedingly important to
the businessmen of this city. as it
places them on a parity with the mer-
chants Of the northern port and is an
other step toward enabling them to
get portion of an already large and
increasing trade. The season is about
to commence and the first sailing will
