struck the buggy breaking one of the

which caused them to start to run
away. Mr.. Hall was pushed to one
side when they started, but quickly
recovered himself and caught the
team before they had made any
Roadway to speak of. No one was
injured, yet it was a very close call

A R illglOuS Nation.

They who believe that America is
losing religion will get little support
from the recent census bulletin upon
religious denominations. We hear
constantly Of the decline in religious
faith, and yet, while the population of
the country increased only 1873 per
cent. from 1890 to 1906, The number
Of church ediices increased IS 5 per
cent, the number Of communicates,
or church.goers, COS per cent, and
the value Of church property ISL
per cent. The Bulletin shows that
in 1900 there were 32,936 445 church
goers. During each day of the last
sixteen years eight new churches
were built,
A clever French traveller has said
that American sects "mly be innum
cradle, but they are alike" In a
good sense this is true. We no
longer witness the fierce chickering's Of
century ago. We have lost our
taste for polemics. But the differ
ences between a Roman Catholic
cathedral, Christian Science taber
nacle, Methodist church, Mormon
temple, a Quaker Westinghouse, a
negro revival, Salvation Army ser.
vice, and an orthodox synagogue, all
of which abound in America, are
enough to show that we are wide
enough apart in our religious obser
vances and beliefs. There are one
hundred and eighty-six religious de.
nominations in the United States,
and one thousand and seventy.nine
independent churches. If a believer
cannot worship God according to the
dictates Of his conscience in any Of
these he may found a church of his
own. In America religion is, and
has always been, absolutely free and
untrsmmeled.
The American has separated
Church and State. This separation
has always been admitted to be good
for the State. The census bulletin
shows that it has always been good
for the Church.

The Trouble Seeker,

There is always a cloud on bis
face, constantly expecting that some
thing unfavorable is going to happen.
There is going to be a slump in bust
ness, or he is going to have a loss, or
somebody is stealing from him or
trying to undermine him; or he is
worried about his he 'lth, or fears his
children will be sick or 60 wrong or
e killed.
In other words, although he has
achieved quite a remarkable success,
yet he has never really had happy
day in his life. All his life this man
has been chasing rainbows-thinLing
if he could only get a little further on
a little higher up, if he could only
achieve this or that, he would be
happy: but he is just as far from il
as when a by.

which he formed during bis hard
boYhood, and which he has never

it, and he gets it.
have been his guest. He has beau
uful home, a very charming wife, a
most delightful family; but there is
always the same cloud on his face,
the same expression of anxiety, Of
unhappiuess, of foreboding. He al
ways looks as though he expected
trouble right away.
A little properly directed training
in bis bOyhOOd would have changed

Involuntary Postal SaVlnuS.

Uncle Sam Is debating whether he
hall make Of himself a savings bank.
While he is considering the question,
the industrious aliens Of Kansas City
nave been making of him a savings
o4nk without his kno Wedge. The
The Italians aud Poles of this
country do not trust the little banks
of their fellow country, and they are
wise in their decision. As there has
been no savings bank 10 the country
with the backing of government, they
have sent over their petty savings to
the postal savings banks of their own
county, losing not a little in the
transmission. Finally, an ingenious
alien in Kansas City hit upon the
plan of buying money orders made
out to himself. He was willing, in
order to have the security Of the gov
ernment' not only to forego all inter.
est but to pay thirty cents per humid
red dollars. Others of his compat-
riots did likewise, so that at present
it is believed that the involuntary
postal savings bank carries $25O,OO0
Of deposits.
The Italians and Poles of Kansas
City have pointed the Way for the
American people. There are many
men in this country whose fathers
and fathers were born here,
who are as m lch in need of having
their savings protected as are the
aliens who toll on our streets.-Ex.
