He VIII Not Be A Printer

Glenn Burton, the nine-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. Burton, stopped in
to see his friend, Carl Englehardt, feed
the job press at Mr.. Fry's Office, Err
day afternoon and in doing so got too
close to the cog wheels and is now
carrying his hand in a sling, and vows
that will not be printer. A small boy
press feeder will almost invariably turn
the press backwards, in cases where he
has to ''kick" the press, as it is easier
to start the press on the pull than to
push it. Little Carl took the easiest
way and was running the press hack
wards. This made the cogs run in such

Il 1t ths North Pole?

No earlier than the first Of this month
DR.. Frederick A. Cook fased the newl
from the Shetland Islands that he had
planted the stars and stripes at the
North pole, and just five days later,
while the doctor was dining with the
enthusiasts Of liz exploration schemes,
the news comes from Commander Peary
that he had discovered the North pole.
The dispatch said nothing Of seeing the
flag left there . year before by the
doctor. It might be that the Command
er did not have space to relate what he
saw, and 1t might be that the sun had
bleached the colors in that frozen cline
The two stories have yet to be confirm
ed, and the world will be in suspense,
in that matter, Until that matter can be
fully determined.

APrintsr's Foolish Way.

A young man took to drink and the
still worse mania, that Of gambling.
He came west under an assumed name
and took up the printing business in
Wray, Colorado, and tried to break of
the bad habits, but all in vain. Last
Thursday this young man whose right
name is Carl Strader, son of a banker
of Desarc, No., retired to the little
Office Of the Wray Gazette, and after
arranging all Of his temporal affairs in
. business like manner, shot himself to
death. He left father and mother
to grieve over his sudden dennis, and a
history that consigns him to a drunk
ards grave. Is there a warning in this
for any of our readers!

Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Allen have been
enjoying visit from Mr.. and Mrs. J.
H. Grove and Mr.. and Mrs. w. B.
Pratt, of Bert, Iowa, and Mr.. and Mrs.
w, S. Stahl, of Bancroft, Iowa. These
friends had been to the Pacific yukon
exposition and stopped of on their re
turn home. Mr.. Allen took the men in
n auto As they wanted to look at the
land on the South Divide. The ladies
were provided with a livery rig from
Lowe Bros. barn and the two parties
had it arranged to meet for dinner At
w. E. Aliens ranch. All plans worked
out nicely and the day was one well
spent in in social enjoyment on the open
western prairie. The men took another
spin over the divide and the auto re-
fused to come to town 30 part OF the
company procured farm team and
came in. On reaching the railroad
crossing, Mr.. Allen recognized the
wrecked carriage. One can hardly i'm
agine the state of his feelings until he
got home and learned that the ladies
were all safe.
The ladies had noticed the storm
coming up and were Fastening to get
home. On reaching the railroad cross
ing, the local freight was unloading
goods and the way-car was within
twelve feet of the crossing. Mrs. Allen
asked the man, who was stand at the
rear of the train, if it would be safe to
cross and he advised them to drive on.
Just - they wer. on the track, the car
was shot back pinning the team, car
riage and the ladies against another car
that was standing on the south spur.
The front wheels of the carriage were
broken and some other damage was
done. Mrs. Allen held on to the team
and had one arm hurt and bruised up
some. Mrs. Stahl was worse hurt and
was confined to bed for several days;
It is certainly wonderful that the ladies
escaped worse injury, and that the
team was not caught under the car.

(By j. Atwood Culbertson. }

For the past seventeen months L have
been living at Sewickley, Pa, a borough
of about 5000 inhabitants, twelve miles
from Pittsburg, Pa 1t is a beautiful place
situated on the north shore Of the Ohio,
and il is here that the richest of Pitts
burgs rich will be found. They come to
the borough to get away from business
cares, to sleep and to worship, and in the
immediate vicinity of the town is their
Allegheny Country Club, where they go to
drink, have their big social "doins'', etc.
However, all the residents are not rich, be-
ing a living proof of this fac. myself.
The town supports seven churches, all
trying to overtake or Guido the other.
They are the Presbyterian, United Pres
byterian. Baptist, Methodist Episcopal,
Protestant Episcopal, Roman Catholics
and Lutheran; also, a Christian Science
Society and two or three negro congrega-
tions. You can see that for its population
the town is well supplied with professional
sky-guides and an abundance of feigned
piety and you can imagine the scorn

seen the same piety on parade in the form
of so many persons vending their way to
the various churches as though they were

differences can probably be accounted for
by taking into account the peculiarities Of

too, must eventually meet the fate of all
other gods, empires, nations, men and
beasts; he must also die. Die, for the rea-
son that that which is known and can be

Christian and Freethinker, admitted to be
the work of Nature, while that which is
has as yet been learned, is by the Christian
explained as being the work of god, while
the Freethinker believes that if the truth
could be known a satisfactory and natural
explanation could be made, the same as
has been done in many other cases. Each
step forward by science is a step nearer to
the death of the gods.

which may be demolished, bit cannot be
