SHORT METER SERMONS.
falice always misconstrues.

Malice always misconstrues.
The poorest man in this world is
the one who owns nothing but riches.
The more mean men talk about re-
ligion the less religion will mean to
men.
The trouble with many an uplifter
is that he is standing On the bubble
of self-esteem.
1t does no damage to be called a
fool. the serious thing is to be salts
fed with deserving it.
They who have the bread Of life
for world have no right to waste
time fighting over its history.
Many think they are saints because
they affect to sneer at the dollars
they are too slothful to earn.
People who cannot change their own
minds usually believe they are or
dained to change the worlds mind.
DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.
Don't forget that laggard feet often
go with a free running tongue.
Don't expect religion to work better
on Sunday for resting all the week.
Don't cultivate light tongue lest
many heavy hearts are made thereby.
Don't overlook the fact that work
is the best preventive of moral weeds.
Don't fail to observe that virtue is
more than keen sense of the vices
IN others.
Don't attempt to change the mind
of the world when you cannot change
your own.
Don't forget that they who are most
hungry for f1attery are the most
harmed by it.
Don't make the mistake of advising
the man who is down and assisting
the one who is up.
Don't ignore the opportunity to
help others along the way If you
would win an invitation toward
heaven.

Graft At Seattle Exposition.

SEATTLE. Oct. 12.-All gatemen at
the Alaska Y ukon.Pa Paci6c exposition
were discharged Saturday night, it
being alleged that they had partici.
pated in or knew of stealings at the
turnstiles.
The Times today asserts that the
gatemen were organized in syndi.
cate with some of their superiors and
that the money stolen was placed in
the bank to be divided later, the funds
so collected amounting to $4,000 at
the time the thieving was discovered
and stopped. The alleged method of
the gatemen, whose turnstiles were
unlocked by slipping a coin into a
slot, was to catch the gate before it
had registered, pull it back, take in
another person and pocket the coin.

Seattle Exposition Is Closed.

SEATTLE, Oct. 16. - At midnight
tonight the 100000 electric lights ot
the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition
were put out, closing the worlds fair
of 1909, which from every standpoint

natural amphitheater and waited for
President Taft's signal.
The exposition, whose purpose was
to acquaint the world with the mani
fold resources Of the Pacific coast in
Guiding Alaska, Yukon territory and
British Columbia has amply fulfilled
its mission. The total attend ance was
nearly $3.50, 900 and so many visitors
came from eastern states that the rail-
roads were unable to handle them COM
fortably.
The exposition was financed by the
people of Seattle, without q govern.

state derived from the sale of state
lands In this city was expended for
permanent buildings which revert to
the state university on whose campus
the exposition was held.
The grounds we're parked at q cost
OF $500, 900, the walks and other i'm.
provements being permanent. More
than 26 buildings and all the foun.

Prospectors Had Hard Luck

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct. 13.-
The trading schooner Bender Bro
theirs, which three years ago stranded
20 miles from Bering sea on the fat
of the Kuskokwim river, Alaska, ar
rived here today, bringing story of
hardships and danger that rivals the
tales of fiction. The vessel was sal.
vaged by missionaries and natives,
who dug a trench three miles long,
through which they were able to get
her into water of sufficient depth.
Capt. John Kaaflich brought his
command to Puget Sound without
navigating instruments or proper
stores and with the aid of single
seaman and party of four stranded
prospectors who were picked up on
the river. The prospectors had spent
45 days in an open sailing boat.
When they reached the schooner they
had been ten days without food other
than fish and were nearly overcome
with fatigue and thirst. OF the party, i,
81. Buckley, OF Spokane. Wash, and
Fred Boberg of Seattle, had been IL
years prospecting for gold in the in
terror of Alaska without having made
visit to civilization. A small pack
of furs and spoonful of nuggets, not
exceeding $40 in value, were their re-
ward for years of hardship and con.
stant search for treasure.

The ALASKA" Wheat SWindle.

JUL1AETTA, Id aho, Oct. 13.-"Alas-
ka" wheat, originated by Abraham
Adams, has proven a failure by Idaho
farmers, who have demonstr ated that
the remarkable yield claimed is not
borne out by tests. To test the yield
and compare it with other varieties,
W. A. Whitted planted an exact acre
in Eve varieties, inc uding "Alaska. :"
This latter wheat, grown under favor.
able conditions, yielded 274 bushels
an acre.
Redcliff, an inferior wheat, yielded
30 bushels an acre; bluestem yielded
exactly the same as "Alaska," these
two cereals showing the lowest aver
age of the FIVE varieties.
The Adams-Hobe Seed company,
organized to market the wheat, is for.
hidden the use of the United States
malls, and express companies refuse
to accept the cereal for shipment un.
less express charges are prepaid.
Abraham Adams gained notoriety
last year by claiming to have discov.
cred wheat which would increase 100
fold. He offered it for sale at S20 a
bushel and his office was flooded with
orders, when the department of agri-
culture reported adversely and the
postoffice authorities stopped the COM
pany from using the mails.

Outwardly in was attended with dis.

ceremony suggestive of supreme au.
thority, but in the actual handclasp
OF the two executives aud in the ex.

President Taft was the first to speak.

dent Diaz. He was glad to know the
president of such great nation: es-
pecially glad to know the present pres
ident who had made the nation great.
Both presidents dwelt upon the cordi-

TAFT FAVORS STATEHOOD.
Arizona Citizens Advised To Be
Careful In Framing Constitution.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 13.-Presi.
dent Taft won a hearty welcome into
Arizona today by proclaiming wher-
ever he went that he was heartily in
favor of statehood for each of the ter
ritories of Arizona and New Mexico.
When the joyousness that greeted
this statement had died away, Mr..
Taft had some sober words for his au.,
dience in which he sought to impress
on them the necessity for deliber alton
in framing state constitution. He
declared that the constitution should
follow the simplicity of the constitu-
tion of the United States and should
be merely fund damental laws with sim
pie rules of limitations. Mr.. Taft
urged the people of Arizona to profit
by what he termed the mistakes of
Oklahoma. He characterized the Ok.
lahoma constitution as a theological
garden of cranks."
The presidents train was whirled
along at breakneck speed today
through scorching desert wastes of
sage brush and cactus. At times the
alkali stirred up by the rushing cars
filtered in cloud through ventilating
screens and closed windows and was
