In the old days it was believed that god, or the gods
could and frequently did, wh.men specially fav

later stage heavenly messengers sent ambassadors
of the deity in order relieve the deity of suspected
lowering of his divine dignity This belief brought into
existence many fraudulent practices that It would be
almost impossible Them We find existing, in
a modified form today, many of these Every priest and
every preacher works upon the hypothesis that he is sort
of mddeman between the creature and the CREATOR and it
is ignorany assumed by the worshppers that the priest or
preacher possesses special favors with the deity and are

and ceremonies Apart from this the sacerdoa caste has

and powers sanction fraud by long usage and the light
of increasing knowledge alone dispe the illusion
1t is recorded that among ancient tribes, when
any communication with the Dead with the tribal deity
was desired the chief of the tribe would send for slave

chief happened forget part of his message or wished
to make addition another slave sent for dispatched

Christian idea of supposed communication between me
natural and the supernatural is but little removed from the
barbarous conception above noted and In reality sur

scribed by Members.

That at the Next Meeting $4,000
Will Be Ready to Begin Building.

The committee of the Commercial
club selected 10 finance the building of
the new home for that organization in
Gary, has now, with scarcely any effort,
succeeded in raising $4,000 of the $40
600 necessary to proceed with the
building of the clubhouse. Much of
the money raised has come in un-
solicited on their part, and many citi-
zens are taking advantage of the op-
portunity to make a good investment
in this manner.
The committee has ceased its activi-
ties for the present, the secretary hav-
ing written to the nonresident members
to give them an opportunity to pur-
chase a few shares before they are all
sold to the other members and to out
siders. While the secretary is waiting
TO hear from these nonresident mem
bers they will do little toward selling
stock. After that they expect to finish
up that part of the financing in a short
time
There is no question but what al the
next meeting of the club the chairman
of the committee. John A Brennan,
will be ready TO report that all of the
money has been raised. In that event
the club should be ready to start its
building within a few weeks at the
outside.

ON IT'S WAY
BACK AGAIN

Evidencing a condition of prosperity
in the pig iron and steel industry I'M
equaled for the past six months is the
announcement made yesterday by
Pittsburg concern that a deal has been
contaminated for the sale of 5000 tons
of basic iron for immediate delivery
at an advance over the prizes of thirty
days ago.
A general advance of 10 to % cents
per ton in the prices of basic and Bes-
semer pig iron has already been made.
Reports show that Pittsburg blast fur
naces producing pig iron are running
about 80 per cent capacity and fur
naces making steel are running about
so per cent capacity. This is more
than double the production for the
same period last year.
There are more blast furnaces run
ming at present than at any time since
October 1907.
The United States Steel corporation
is now operating about 80 per cent of
its capacity. the highest level reached
since the Improvement in the steel in
dustry began.

States the man has devoted his life to
the study of law.
Coats. hats. shoes and various kinds
of clothing lie promiscously about his
room at the Wabash hotel, where he

were to return to the place when he
left, or his personal effects would have
been cared for before. Nothing has
been seen or heard of the old man since
he left the hotel.

Lobkowitz came to Gary ABOUT six
weeks ago and entered the office of ].

shocking bad silk hats all he has to
do is to take walk on Fifth ave-

gave them birth. The only thing that
one can compare this array to is the

While riding fathers pillow.

And marble face and brow, S

While Ceres rode the pillow.

Within a sunless room;

That gives the richer bloom.
The one may pound the strident keys
And below like COW;
The other sings the worlds breadsong
song
The while she rides the plow.
When fashions gilded race is run
And time has left his scars
On powdered beauty, that once shone
Like meteoric stars;

Or breathe the lovers VOW,
While summer tints with rosy blush
The girl who rides the pillow?
