HIS EIGHT MONUMENTS
TO AGNOSTICISM
! MUST 60
knapp's Craven Derision Of Chris
. tianity viii be Shattered TIL
Not Word IL Left.

KENOSHA, Wis, Sept. 23.-Lew-
Is Knapp, who erected eight inscrib-
ed monuments in the Kenosha City
Cemetery to hand down his derision
of the Christian church, will fail of
his purpose, as the monuments,
which have stood for more than 80
years, will lbe stroyed in such a
manner that not one of the 10000
words of inscription will remain.
For years Knapp worked on the
composition of the agnostic inscrip-
tions, which made one of the most
remarkable arraignments of the
Christian religion known to history.
Men have come thousands of miles
to read and copy them. and it is
declared that when they were sent
to q foundry to be cast in metal,
which would withstand fire as we'll
as the weather, the workmen
struck, fearing the wrath of God.
Surviving relatives of Knapp sign
ed an agreement yesterday that the
monuments be taken out, broken
into small pieces and the debris
either buried or thrown into the
lake.

OF course everyone who owns a
timepiece, whether 1t be full jew

common, everyday SO cent alarm
clock, knows that all other time
pieces are wrong when they don't
agree with his. The man who
doesn't, don't deserve to own one.
Few, however, would go so far as

Hoosierdom.

few of the larger towns. standard

fear they won't get out in the fields
long enough before sunup, most
Hoosiers keep their clock about
half an hour faster than the sun.
That was the situation with the
clock of the little woman in ques-
ton. AS result, it seemed to the
Spollanite that he had no sooner
settled himself in bed of a night
till the call came that If he wanted

the western horizon Jubilant, he
called his hostess to witness.
Il told you your old clock was
too fast" he declared. "Juts look
there" He pointed to the figures
In the almanac and then to the sun.
The woman looked at the clock,
then squinted with disapproval at
the sun. Then she studied the clock
again.
WELL" all 1 can say is" she said
at last, that that there sun ought
to be down."
And the dog came back. That is
the climax of a story in connection
with a lost, strayed or stolen
canine. A little over eight years
ago when the present owner of the
animal was sitting on her front
porch on Grand avenue the dog,
then only puppy, came tearing
down the street, and when it
reached the porch, gave jump and
landed in her lap.
Ever since that time, until the
first of last March, he has been
great pet of the family. About the
middle of March, he suddenly dis
appeared and that being the dog
killing time, the owners supposed
he had fallen victim to the shoot
ing.
Great was the surprise of the
family when on Tuesday evening,
just six months from the time he
disappeared, he trotted onto the
porch of his former home. Now he
seems as much one of the family
as he ever did.

DRY SHAVE WHEN
SOAP Is STOLEN

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 2s.-
Patrons of A. Hagerup, barber. de-
manded an anesthetic today to lull
them into unconsciousness when
the thrifty German began moving
their whiskers with a near sharp
razor without any preliminary shaw
ing soap treatment of their faces.
Hagerup's shop was robbed by
thieves last night and shaving soap,
brushes and razors were stolen.
The burglars left little but the fur
niture when they finished sacking
the shop.
While Hagerup was telephoning
to the police early this morning his
first patron arrived. He was a
stranger of the water front, and a
heavy crop of brush" disguised his
features. The German explained
his troubles to the unshaven one,
but the latter was game and con-
sented to undergo the third degree.
Before Hagerup procured new
supplies several regular patrons
submitted to dry shaving and left
portions of hair and cuticle on the
BARRIERS floor.

PENDLETON HIGH FIVE
DEFEATS UMATTLLA TOWN

Pendleton high school basket bal
team retrieved its defeat at the hands
OF the Walla Walla Y. NJ. C. A. team
Friday night by going to Umatilla
Saturday evening and winning from
the Commercial club team of that
place by the decisive score of 20 to
IA. Though the boys down by the big
river were larger than their oppon-
ents and played a gritty game from
start to finish there was never any
doubt as to the final result.
The speedy players from the county
seat showed more skill and team
work, having no trouble in eluding
their larger opponents and dropping
the ball into the basket for field
goals. From the reports of the game
1t is evident that every member of
the team acquitted himself with hon
or. making it difficult to pick stars.
The game was free from the roug-
ness which characterized the last
half of the contest at Walla Walla
and the Pendleton players bring back
good reports OF the courteous treat
ment accorded them at the hands of
the opposing players and citizens of
the town.
