AMERICAN DAYS AND
SEASONS GREETINGS

Rev. Fred Staff, pastor of the
First Congregat ional church in this
city, has issued to the members of
his church and congregation and
many friends in this city and vicinity
beautiful little pamphlet entitled,
American Days 1t is made up of
twelve pages and cover, which con-
tains a sermon that he delivered
some time since and has had many
requests for a printed copy of the
same. 1t is prefaced with the fol-
lowing explanations.
AT THE END OF THE YEAR
The old order changeth and Civ
eth place to the new" On the loom
OF Time the Spirit of the age is
forever busy, weaving for Divinity
living garment. 1t is interesting
to watch the process, and profitable
to ponder the meaning of every
change.
What lis printed ON the following
pages was preached as a sermon a
few weeks ago. Some of those who
heard j. spoke we'll of it, and re-
quests have been made for it's pub
location.
| send you a copy with my Christ
mas and New Years greetings. May
the season be full of blessedness for
you and yours!
May your joys be multiplied and
your sorrows lessened through a con-
sclOus fellowship with the divine One
May your strength be equal to your
tasks. May your courage grow with
the difficulties you encounter, and
may your faith i'm God and man sur
yive every possible shock. While
you see visions and dream dreams of
better days to come, may you have
the grace and the practical wisdom
to make the days that now are bet
ter for those around you May love
and friendship cheer you in all your
endeavor, and may the peace of God
fill your heart.
The sermon mentioned above and
which was printed in the pamphlet,
was certainly an excellent one and
greatly appreciated by those who
heard it when it was. delivered, but
we want to say that this is only
sample of the many excellent ser
mons that the pastor delivers every
Sunday morning at his church on the
West side. Those who fail to hear
them, are the losers thereby. We
often wonder if the members of his
church and congregation fully appre-
ciate the value of his discourses
from Sabbath to Sabbath. We hope
they do and we are sorry that every
man and woman in our city are not
privileged of he opportunity of hear
ing him every Sunday of the year

MORE SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES

Last week one of our local dray
lines had the contract of moving
from the car and putting in place
two large sections of safety deposit
boxes for the First National bank.
They arrived just in time as every
box in the vault had been rented.
The business in this department
Of the bank has had a steady growth
Each year more people understand
that their deeds and other valuable
papers are very unsafe at home and
they appreciate the opportunity to
rent a safe in a first class vault at
a small annual cost.

A. B. FeweH, a resident of this
city, and formerly with the Wiscon-
sin National Life Association of Osh-
kosh, has resigned his position with
that company and is now district reO-
resentative for the Prudential Life
Insurance Co. of New York. Those
desiring a good line of insurance
will do well to consult with Mr.. Few
ell in reference thereto. Other things
being equal, he ought to have a share
of the local business.

PITCHER WALSH WILL RETURN

CHICAGO, April 29.-Faithful follow
ers of the Chicago American league
are frantic with joy over the report
from Meriden, Conn, that Pitcher Ed
Walsh is on the way west to begin his
seasons work. He will hold con-
ference Immediately upon his arrival
with President Comiskey and Man
ager Sullivan, and the salary ques-
ton, which has been the cause of his
failure to report hitherto, will prob
ably result in a compromise.
President Comiskey has not heard
from the pitcher since February.
Walsh was holding out for a salary
of $500. He was given a substantial
bonus for his great work last season,
and Comiskey evidently thought he
would be content with this and the
prospect of another one at the end of
another good SeasOn's toll.

Stovall made one of the finest one
handed catches seen at Chutes park
this year, when he grabbed down a
high fly by Delmas, which sailed over
his head close to the center field fence
He made a flop into the air, stuck up
his left mitt and came down with the

Four cripples figured yesterday. Dill
lon limped as a result of recent in
juries, Delmas and Jud Smith were
hit by Breckenridge, Smith getting
hard crack In the wrist, and Mott hurt
his hand in sliding at third
Kitty Brashear is playing as good
game as any first-class baseman In the
league, and if he keeps up this pace,
Berry will be sorry he let him go. A
clever double play, an errorless game,
one double and single were Kitty's
contributions yesterday. In addition he
executed a difficult running catch of
BealPs foul back of first.
Today Berry will have posted the
signs warning the kids" not to steal
the baseball or throw cushions Ar
rests will follow any violation of this
warning.
"This is the lucky fifth remarked
Hen Berry, as he sat in the box back
of the home plate. "Oh, yes, you said
that yesterday" said Mrs. Henry, at
his side. Then came the fireworks and
the expansive smile.
Berry's new pitcher, Trippett, may
not materialize, as the money wired
him yesterday was refused 1t is pre-
sumed the san Jose twirler wants more
money.
Two outs, a man on third and the
game to win, gave Beall his first
chance to distinguish himself yester-
day. He hit a hard liner to Eagan,
but If Truck had not fumbled he
would have lost the chance to bring in
the run
