is about $500.
Last week Mr.. Walters little son,
George, fell off a load Of hay and

and while Mrs. Walter was at Lans-
ford having the little fellows arm re-
set prairie fire was destroying prop
erty at home.
| Last Sunday, while out chasing
jack rabbits with pair of gray
hounds, Arthur Marks and Fred La
ROGUE captured a prairie wolf. When
first sighted the wolf was hiding in q
clump of buck brush, near what 10
commonly known as Moses hill, and
then wild chase across the prairie
ensued, the hunted party using every
ruse known to animal instinct to
evade it's pursuers. Finally, after =
four mile run to the vacant school
section lying just west of town, the
wolf was headed into coulee. To cir
cumvent it's course, LaRocque rode
direct to the lower end OF the coulee,
and as the animal again emerged
onto the open prairie, he threw .
lasso around it's neck. With all its
remaining strength the wolf resisted
its captivity, and in vain tried to
chew apart the rope which held It
fast. The wolf was led to town and
exhibited on our streets to q NUM-
ber' of curious spectators. That 4
resented it's treatment was manifested
by dts jumping and ferociously snap
ping at anyone who ventured too
near. While standing in the street
in front of the bowling alley. Brack-
elsberg took a. picture of the hunts
men, horses, dogs and their prey. The
wolf was kept alive until Monday eve.

FUNCTION Of RELIGION

CHICAGO PROFESSOR HAS A
NEW THEORY AND WRITES
A BOOK.

CHICAGO. April "a LIN book
entitled, "'rhe Function ot Religion
in Mans Struggle for Existence"
which win be issued from the Uni
versity of Chicago press, Professor
George Burnham Foster who stirred
up the clergy Of the country three
years ago, with his attack on ortho-
dox Christianity, has taken up a new
line Of criticism.
Professor Foster advances the the.
ory that God is "a symbol 10 desig-
nate the universe in lis ideal achieve
ing capacity" and that God was made
by man, Modern people, he declares
do not attend church because they
need too, and not because they are
bad, but because they are good"
Nowhere" he said, IS there such
a thing as creation out of nothing.
We must wean ourselves from the
habit Of picturing the God Of the unii
verse as the Bible God Of the Book
Of Geneses-a God who miraculously
charmed things, with a sword as a
wand, out OF nothing. There Is no
creation anywhere out of magic
none by Gods magic.
Il am now trying to get the church
to see that il has been on the wrong
track with its instinct Of self preserva-
tion, with its dogging the footsteps Of
science, blocking its every advance;
with It's love for dogmas rather than
It's search for truth; with its pride
rather than It's service; with lis cleri.
,alism rather than its humanism;
with its facing backward rather than
front,
''Tt is for this reason that there has
grown up in many circles something
kin to contempt for the three words
,hurch, serman, domatics; church--a
vhited sepulchre full Of dead mems
zones, a place where death is treated
is If il were life and life as If il were
leath; preaching proof that there is
till such thing as sounding brass
nd changing cymbals; dogmatics-
hat science whose only right to be
5 that men may see what a science
iught to be"
