The ladies have on hand about
40 yards Of good new rag carpets
for sale at the regular price. Any
one wishing to buy can phone Mrs.
Carrie Eccles or Mrs. w. H.

A Newman organ has been placed
in the church to accompany the pi-
ano, which certainly adds to the
music. These with the other instrn-
ments and chorus choir under, the
direction of. Prof. Washburn are a
great success. The best music ever
heard in the Laclede church is what
we hear now.
Rev. w. b. Chrlsty district SUI
pertinent, was with us Sunday
evening and on Monday morning.
the second quarterly conference
was held. There was a full attend
ance and the usual business of the
church was transacted. By a.
unanimous vote the parsonage COM
mittee were authorized to repair
and add to the present parsonage, 1
necessary for making it more at
tractive and comfortable residence.
This viii certainly add much to the
appearance of the church property
as well as the convenience Of those
who s.sdwell within. =
Every service last Sabbath was,a
good one. The attendance at the1
school was 165, which indicates a
gradual gain over the previous en-
rolIment. The collection was SIS. rs. |
There were several new pupils
present, and we hope to see many
more now that the weather is more
mild. AT the preaching hour,
both morning and evening, the |
house was filled to hear Rev. Good
ale and his gospel singer, Prof.
Washburn, which was certainly al
treat for all present. They are
thorough Christian gentlemen and
in their efforts. We be-
speak for them the hearty coopera-
lion Of all who are interested in the
upbuilding Of christianity in La
clede.

Some Evening Rsysrles.

Now what are the safeguards of
young men. The first safeguard
of which we want to speak is a love
of home. There are those who
have no idea Of the pleasures that
concentrate around that word
home" Perhaps your early
abode was shadowed with vice or
poverty. Harsh words and petu-
lence and scowling may have de-
stroyed all the sanctity Of that
spot. Love, kindness and self
sacrifice, which have built their al
tars in so many abodes, were
strangers in your fathers house.
God pity you, young man. You
never had a home. But a multitude
of young men can look back to the
spot that they can never forget. 1t
may have been a lowly roof, but
you cannot think of it now without
a dash Of emotion. You have seen
nothing on earth that has so stirred
your soul. A stranger passing
along that place might see nothing
remarkable about it, but obi how
much it means to you. Fresco on
palace walls does not mean so
much to you as those rough hewn
rafters. Parks and bowers and
trees at a fashionable watering
place or country seat do not mean
so much to you as that brook that
ran in front of the plain farm house
and singing under the weeping will
lows. The barred gateway swung
open by porter in full dress does
not mean so much to you as that
swing gate, your sister on one side
of it and you on the other. She.
gone fifteen years ago into glory!
That scene coming back to you to-
day as you swept backward and
forward on the gate, singing the
songs OF yonr childhood. But there.
are those who have their second
dwelling place. It is your adopted
home. That also is sacred forever.
There you established the first fam
lily altar. There your children were
born. In that room tapped the
wing of the death angel. Under
that roof when your work is done,
you expect to lie down and die.
There is only one word in all the
language that can convey your idea
Of that place, and that word is
home" We never knew a man
who was faithful to his early and
and adopted home who was given
over at the same time to any gross
form of wickedness. If you find |
more enjoyment in the clubroom,
IN the literary society, in the art |
than you do in these unpre-
hoEie pleasures, you are on

much longer than II was expected

on the witness-stand and is still be-
ing subjected to searching cross

appears to be to make him talk as
much as possible In the hope that he
may slip up and show himself to be
the insane man the prosecutor claims
him to be.
II seems hardly probable now that
the case will go to the jury before

John Keith New
Man is in Town
0ld-Time Ranger Returns with Bride,
a Living Revelation to
His Friends.

W. just thought we would run down
a little while to visit some of our friends
and to take a few Stacks out of the sights
OF Omaha" said John Keith of Suther-
land. who has been on an extended wed
ding trip to the Pacific coast, and who
returned with his young bride Tuesday
morning and is quartered at the Rome.
W spent the winter in Los Angeles,
and that town is booming this winter, but
Omaha is also booming from the looks Of
things"
Mr.. Keith, one Of the Oldest rangers in
Nebraska, and also one Of the richest.
had a genuine shock for his old-time
friends who had not seen him since his
marriage.
Instead of the prosperous looking old
ranchman from the S~horthorn country, he
gave the impression Of the urbane capt.
tslist who had come out from the east To
buy up a few counties, The broad SOM
brero had given way TO the latest thing
In spring fedoras; the long, loose fitting
coat was supplanted by a handsome sack
with creased corners and the subtle drop
in front; the trousers he wore were wide
at the top and narrow at the bottom,
where that nifty little c uff defined the
wearer as the critical connoisseur, and IN
stead of the boots that rangers wear, this
nobby man OF means had on a pair of
sleek and shiny tans.
And that long, dark beard, sprinkled ever
and anon with the inevitable snowflakes
Of time-ah, It, too, was gone, and where
II once was a clean-cut. clear-skinned face
appeared, adorned. however, with a neatly
trimmed mustache and a slight goatee.
Nope, that's hot John Keith said
Frank Currie, the other best known ranger
in Nebraska, who has known Keith for
forty years; that amt Ohm"
And Currie strolled on up the street,
looking back over his shoulder in half
skeptic inquiry once or twice.
