THROW BOMB FRONT
OF JAPANESE STORE

EUREKA, Cal, Oct. PA bomb
ignited by a slow fuse was exploded
here early this morning in front of the
Japanese art store. The glass front
was blown in by the explosion and the
interior of the store was wrecked.
The damage is estimated at $3.50.
One of the proprietors, who was
sleeping in the rear of the building,
was awakened by the explosion, and,
frightened, he ran down the street.
Police officers, thinking he was the
perpetrator of the outrage, gave chase
and fired at him several times, but
without effect.
In the ensuing confusion the real
perpetrators of the crime escaped.
The store has been in operation here
but three days and is the first oriental
store to be established here since the
exclusion of Chinese from Humboldt
county in 1887. 1t is believed some one
opposed to the invasion of the Eureka
business field by the Japanese is re-
sponsible for the explosion.

DOUBLE SHIFT

A practical joker recently made his
first trip to Niagara Falls, and guide
that he hired was trying to impress him
with their magnitude, says the New
York American.
Grand" suggested the guide.
The visitor did not seem impressed.
Millions of gallons a minute" ex-
planned the guide.
How many in a day?" asked the
tourist.
"Oh, billions and billions" said the
guide.
The other looked across and down
and up as If gauging the flow, and then
turned away disinterestedly.
Runs all night, too, 1 suppose" he
remarked nonchalantly.
The guide never recovered.

MAKING NO ALLOWANCE

ooh, I must be growing old, SAID
the woman, "for I have forgotten the
foolish things I did when child, and
am now Furnishing Laura for using
slang. Only today I picked up an old
school book and found the leaves en-
bellished with notes written to the
girls, nearly all phrased In slang such
as Won bet.' rats and other dreadful
expressions. OF course I should not
scold Laura for doing what did, and
7 should have more patience with
her" Others who are always finding
fault with the outbursts of erratic
childhood have only to look back and
see they did the very same thing and,
sometimes. a great deal worse.

Suffering Was MeasureIess

81 fancy that across the ages I can
hear the curses, the blasphemy and the
bitterest insults, and above all I can
hear a voice say Take those women
away Measureless suffering did he
go through for us.
Sometimes we feel that we would
like to tell our troubles and difficulties
to some one, but we are afraid. 1t
would be such a help. but we feel they
might not understand Tt need not be
so with Jesus. He will understand,
for there is nothing that you cannot
tell him. Where others would turn
away, he will open his arms and well
come you. Where others would mis-
judge. he will understand, for the man
of sorrows is acquainted with hui
manity.
"He is wonderful in love. oh! it
seems so useless for human lips to try
to talk of the love of God-so vast, so
measureless, so far reaching, so up
lifting and so ceaseless. Is there any
word that can so move the heart of
the whole world as that word love!
1t is mans last lingering emotion
love. How high it can soar and how
low 1t can dive! No word can be com
pared to or equal love.
"Love is divine. Gods love-what
can we compare to it! The ocean, the
heavens-God's love will never pass
away. Worlds will burn. but love di-
vine cannot be consumed. When a
man Is persuaded to do his duty for
the love of God the combined armies
of the whole universe cannot put at
his disposal the power that the divine
love of God can. So when you get
the love of God in your heart your
temptations will fall from you. to live
will be peace, to die will be glory, and
the two will be heaven.
1.-THE whole plan of religion is worked
out on the coming down principle.
Jesus Christ didn't come through the
morning glory, but in midnight dark
ness: not through an arch of splendor,
but through the barn door, not to the
rich but to the poor. What a coming
down. Heaven his home with arches
of light and angels for attendants.
Here he came down to associate with
publicans and sinners, to eat bread on

and the "insurgent' case was sup
ported by Representatives Gardner OF

lion consumed most OF the afternoon
The three Insurgents" heard it
charged that Tart intended to join
hands with the house organization in
the interest Of getting the tariff bill
through quickly. Greatly disturbed
they hurried 10 the White House to
urge Taft TO take a neutral position
and leave the lighting to them. When
they came out OF the executive Offices,
Gardiner declared, with an exhibition
of confidence. that the insurgents"
were no longer in a compromising
mood.
we are firmly impressed that Mr.
Taft is not opposed to a change of
the rules" said Gardner, but is a lit
ale fearful that contest now would
interfere with the passage Of the tar

Madison tried to show the president
there WAS no such danger in the fight
they are conducting. lie said he had
told Taft that he and his colleagues
were not disposed to interfere with
continuance Of the present ways and
means committee. and that he thought
he could promise that no objection
would be made TO the continuance of
the old committees on any subject on
which the president feels inclined TO
ask legislation at the present session.
CONCILIATORY PROMISES
The Insurgents" also promised that
they would not nlibuster against Iegis-

son said he did not mean that the
fight would be abandoned II lost now.

until the proper time TO renew it.
When Payne left he said he had told
Taft that the tariff bill would be ready
TO report on the first day OF the ses-
sion, but that ne could not prophesy
what would happen If the present
chaotic conditions in the house were to
