A CHURCH ON VACATION.
Summer Privileges Create Reduction
in BacksIIding Element.

From the Kansas City Journal
The action Of the congregation Of the
independent Christian Church in taking
a vacation during the heated term would
have been considered a craven surrender
to the evil one a hundred years ago or
so, but to-day, even while such action
Is not in imitation OF a general example
il viii strike the average person as be-
ing decidedly seasonable and sensible
If people to-day believed In the old
fashioned doctrine OF a sulphurious and
highly ealorifc hereafter. the hot sum

time when the threat Of a burning lake
would have maximum OF weight with
sinners. 1t is stated that when the mis-
slonaries started IN 20 convert the lee
landers they made more backsHders than
converts by preaching a hot hell. When,
however. some ingenious missionary
evolved a he'll which was a thousand
times colder than Iceland. there was a
bargain-cOunter rush for the first row
and Iceland became Christianized.
But the up-to-date church-goer does
not believe IN the old terrifers that in
flueRced his forefathers. II is no longer
considered necessary 70 be uncomfort-
able In order 20 be pious. Some preachers
have permitted the men IN their au-
diences 10 remove their coats. and a

IS entitled 90 his vacation. why should
not the congregation have al least a
brief surcease from sweiterng church
work. with little If any danger Of back

ONCE OWNED CRIPPLE CREEK.
Robert WOmack, DiScOverer of Fa-
nous Field, Dies in Poverty,

Robert womack. famed as the dis
coverer Of Cripple Creek. is dead IN
poverty at Colorado Springs muttering
to the last Of new fields he hoped yet
70 find TO replace the Sl0O00,OOO claims he
sold for $500.
Womack was the son OF a Forty
miner Robert Womack. ST., who in the
latter eighties had left 10 his son the
heritage OF a dream-that the gold which
the father had sought in vain for forty
years would be revealed near Cripple
Creek II the son kept up the search.
The father died; young Womack took his
place as prospector and in spite Of the
jeers Of others. ranged close about the
Creek country with shovel and divining
rod-for twenty years.
Then one day in 1901 he hit the yellow
ledge. His friends told him it was fools
gold;' his brother-in-law and partner
took II to the nearest assay Office only
after days Of protest. He came back with
government certificate to show that the
md averaged 81, 100 TO the ton.
That news made Bob WOmaclk one day
and broke him two days afterward. For.
aiter stalking out every claim through
out the length and breadth OF the gold
lead, he went into town. spent all his
nuggets over bar and a nearby roulette
table. sold all his claims for $500 more in
order 10 make a final wager on the red
and a week later was digging gold with
a shovel for the man who had bought his
rights 10 one Of the greatest mines the
world has ever known.
For the last five years Of his life

The ships OF the Atlantic fleet have

practice Of the great guns under unusual
conditions. This years practice will be
surrounded by circumstances which more
closely approach the surroundings OF actu-
al warfare than ever before The target
against which the shots will be directed
will be moving at a speed which Is un-
known to the gunners. The ships from
which the attack is directed will also
be in motion; and. more than that, they
will be rolled" in the seaway in order
70 make the gun platform as unstable
as it might be in the emergency Of
battle. OF course, under such conditions.
it is not to be expected that naval gum
merry at the coming season Of target
practice will attain any such high per-
centage Of hits as when the conditions
were more conducive 10 the accuracy Of
fire. But II is OF practical advantage 70
have target practice held under as unfa-
vorable conditions as possible, In order
that the gunners may learn 10 over
come the difficulties which they might
encounter in battle. when. OF course. con-
ditions would not be previously known.
and the speed and movements OF the
enemy would be left 20 conjecture.
Naval target practice is now placed
on the footing which will yield the best
results in the way OF training the gun
ners. stimulating the encouragement OF
rivalry. since relative achievements Will
mean moro than they have heretofore.
II will be. taking it all IN all. con-
tribution to that part OF the prepara-
tion Of the feet for war which enables
Eunners to hit the target. and OF course,
that is the object OF an armed naval

From The Boston Herald
Prudent parents IN New England forty
years ago set their faces against round
dances. The children were allowed 10
learn square dances. which were consId-
ered as n refined and improving form OF
or indoor exercise. For some reason not
easily explained. the schottsche was al
lowed but the gallop, the polka, and.
above all. the waltz was tabooed as i'm

would say to HIS daughter: Even the

consumed with desire TO read the once
celebrated poem. also 60 enjoy the dance

We learn that IN the polite circles OF Eng
land this dance is an opportunity for
romping, for 'feverish rloting." Men ana
women are scratched apd bruised: dresses
are torn and bodices ripped. swauowtal
coats are split up the back: ankles are
turned and legs are broken: the scene re-

Teaching "A Regular Course.
The japanese, quick 10 initiate and

From the limited information We have

boldress being an of1ense 20 maidenly
dignity.
, Quite likely the game OF courtship as
played In Japan would be voted tame by
the girls of the Western nations Accord

20 be a decidedly one-sided amusement
