Coming from Chicago one day be-
fore I was a saved man, an eleven
year-old boy made an attempt to
board my train at Hebron and, miss
ing his hold, fell under the cars. a
section man pulled him out and laid
him on the platform. The boy made
a grab for his hat that was just be-
yond his reach, and then realized that
his other arm was broken and one
leg gone. He began to beg US to kill
him. They placed him on a s~tretcher.
and some n ran for his mother, who
lived just a block away. She came
running, and as she knelt at his side,
cried:
"My God, Frank, is this youi"
eyes, mother" he replied, land
won't you pray for me?"
Wringing her hands, she sobbed:
20 Frank. l can't pray! don't know
howl"
There on her knees, at the side of
her dying boy, she turned to US and
pleaded for some of us to pray for
him, but we each one had to admit
that we did not know how, and he
died before us without a prayer. I
never shall forget the anguish written
on that poor mothers face. l do
thank God that I have learned to pray
since that time and to hold up before
the throne of grace not only my own
children, but those of p~rayerless par

Lads Discover Cache With Revolvers,
Lanterns and Masks Near the
School~Four Men Caught When
They Appeared There.


Omaha, Neb.-Miss Nora Freeman,
a school teacher, and three small
boys in her class will be paid 1 5000
by the Union Pacific Railroad for the
arrest of three men who have been
identified as the bandits who held up
the night Chicago express on the road
in this city a week ago. The men were
arrested when they were approaching

terms and other articles we're buried.
The boys discovered the cache, and
Miss Freeman discovered the seven
mail pouches which had been stolen
from the train, in the attic of the
school where she teaches.
The arrests are looked upon as so
important that a message of ~congrat.
ulation has been received by the
Chief of Police from the Postofice
Department In Washington, D. G.
The capture of the men was owing d.
rectly to the discovery of the cache
by the schoolboys. They were at
play during recess and ran into a gull
~ in an isolated corner of a field.
They became curious when they
found fresh earth, and turning over a
rock found the r~evolvers and other
articles buried to a depth of nine
Inches. There were four revolvers,
three of them automatic, and all fully
loaded. There also was a box con-
tanning 100 cartridges. The boys
carried the revolvers to Miss Free
man, in the Brown Park school, q
quarter of a mile distant, and two
miles from the crossing where the
train Was held up. Miss Freeman
~telephoned to Police Headquarters.
Miss Freeman discovered the
pouches by observing that a ladder
leading to the attic of the school had
been displaced. With the assistance
Of the pupils she moved the ladder
back in position and went up to the
attic. She found the pouches in a
heap, with mail strewn on the floor.
Again she telephoned to Police Head
quarters.
The arrests were made at 1 o'clock
In the morning. Four men ap-
preached the cache from opposite di-
rections. There were only three de-
tectives on watch, and they grappled
with three of the men and overpow-
cred them. The fourth man escaped.
The prisoners were brought to Police
Headquarters. They described them
selves as D. w. Woods, of Minneapo-
lis; Fred ~Torgensen, OF South Dakota,
and James Gordon, of this city. Tor
gensen directed the police to a room
he has been occupying for two weeks.
a photograph was found or the three

THE PULPIT.
BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
ADAM MACDONALD REOCH.
Theme: What is Your Life?

Text: For what is your life2< It is
even a vapor, that ~appeareth for a lit
tie time, and then vanisheth away
James Ala.
This is an apt metaphor with which
to represent the breyity and evanes-
cence of life, but it does not tell the
whole story.
The cloud which the text speaks Of
as floating idly in the sky we have i'm
prssoned in our machinery and COM
PEELED to do mighty things. This ca
pacity Of feeting vapor for energy
and work well represents the capacity
of the human spirit for inspiration
and service. This constitutes mans
greatest endowment and is the life Of
every faculty and attainment.
Scripture continually speaks of man
as a vessel" or utensil which depends
for its usefulness and worth upon the
value of its contents. When noble
ideals perish our life descends toward
the level of the brute, just as vapor,
bereft of its heat, turns again to its
original liquid form, comparatively
without value.
Life and action carried on in ac-
cordance with true ideals will result
unfailingly in progress. Too often
the monotony of life the
energy which should go toward the
realization of our ideals, and when
we stand before the doors of large
opportunities we are overcome with
fear and hesitation.
Man, like the vapor, will never do
his best work except under pressure.
A brook will bable until 1t meets the
dam, when it begins to turn the grist
mill. Without a of responsible
ity a man will develop no force Of
character. We should think of our
responsibilities as opportunities. Life
is most truly described, in the broad
sense, as a great opportunity. That
is the way Jesus looked at it. "Treas-
ure hid in a field, "a pearl of great
price, !" talents intrusted to servants"
these are the SMILES he used. They
all emphasize the element of opportu-
nifty.
Life is, in short, the opportunity to
find our true self, and until we have
done that we can never hope to find
the true God. If a man gain the
whole world and lose himself it prof.
iteth nothing, for a man can actually
and permanently possess nothing ex-
cept himself. Is a man entitled to
say II i've" simply because he eats
and sleeps and is physically well? A
human life is far more complex. The
first reed pipe gave forth music, but
its descendant, the great organ, gives
forth completed music in which the
other parts are harmonized with the
melody. The complete life is one in
which the religious or spiritual note
gathers into harmony the moral, the
intellectual and the physical elements
In our being, bringing them also into
harmony with God, the source and
fountain of life.

One of the principal ingredients
in the making OF candy in these days
is glucose, of which the company
manufactures between seventy-fve
and eighty-fve per cent. of all that
is consumed in the United States.
If the Corn Products Refining Com
pany uses its glucose in its own-candy
factories and sells the product in it's
own stores, then the smaller and
hitherto independent candy COM
panies, such as Huyler's, Lofts, thu
Mirror and Repetti's, will either have
to go into the bigger concern or COM
pete with it, if they can.
Members of the National Confec-
TONERS Association, who discussed
the situation-and there were many
who spoke freely on the subject
pointed out that the candy trade in
the United States looked as though
it were going to takes similar course
to that already taken by this coun-
try'S tobacco trade.

President Buffers Remark That 1t Is a Form Of Present. Day Emotional
insanity stikinsy Borne Out by Series of Absurd Events.

London.-The speech at the Lake
Mohonk Conference on International
Arbitration of President Nicholas
Murray Butler, Of Columbia Univer-
Bity, in which he described Great Bri-
tafn's attitude to Germany as a form
of "present-day emotional insanity"
has been strikingly confirmed during
the past week. Sensational stories
of German airships, stacks of Ger
man Mausers stored in a London eel
lar, thousands of German walters and
hair dressers eagerly anticipating the
Emperor's signal to deliver England
to an invading army of their fellow
countrymen, have been the main fea-
lures of the newspapers throughout
the country.
The Mauser myth, to which atten-
ton was first called by Sir John Bar
low, has been contemporary dis
missed by War Secretary Haldane in
the House of Commons as "an excep-
tiona1ly silly story" but 1t has been
quite surpassed by accounts of myth
ical nocturnal visitations of a Ger
man airship.

Captains of incoming steamers

vres, to which it returns after it's
nightly flight. Descriptions of the
secret fy-by-night became more and
more graphic, until certain advertis-
ers, who had been experimenting
with model airships attached by
ropes to motor cars, confessed their
part in the affair and exploded the
various theories.
Meanwhile, Germany, as evidenced
by the comments I'm the German pa

much the same conclusion as Presi-
dent Butler. Contempt, disgust and

James M. Beck. 1t is dated May Z,
1907. 1t is witnessed by Cortland
Belts, George H. Church and Kathar-
inc I. Harrison. 1t is a business-like
document of comparative brevity.
No estimate of the value of the es-

the value of the estate range from

Virtually the entire estate is left
to the four children Of Mr.. Rogers.
A trust fund is left to the widow of
sufficient proportions to insure her
an annuity of 100000 a year.
The residuary estate is divided into

NEGRO FIREMAN CAUSES WRECK
Freight Train Attacked at Lithonia,
Ca, by Mob of Citizens.

Atlanta, Ga.-The first violence to

doomed more sharply than ever over
the situation, Notwithstanding a day
If much apparent progress toward a
settlement.
A negro fireman, who apparently
was the cause of the trouble, was
rushed to Atlanta on an engine to
save his life. The trouble started in
the throwing of one or two stones and
the boarding of the freight by men
who set the brakes and broke it into
three sections. The freight train
blocked the main line and the pro-
gress of the mails. The railroad Off
