 Lessons to Me From The Psalms
Terse Comments Made Uponn TM Topic For the Christian End
 s! eavor Societes-Story of Beautiful Old Book That Has Held Its Vogue. .'t

tenest, next to the Gospels. the in- exhaustible book of Psalms. with its comfort and it's inspiration.
 Human spirits, like musical instru- ments, need to be tuned up." No better method of getting the soul into key has been discovered than the read Ing of the Psalms. They bring the heart into harmony with thoughts of God. -
 The writers of the Psalms could soar with the best. but for the most part they were "men in world of men," They kept their feet on the solid ground of actualtties. Their ex- periences were the common experiences of mankind. But they sanctifed them with an illuminated judgment: Into all the incidents of life they brought Je- hovah. With them life was war--plus God; works-pius God: trouble-plus God; temptation. sin and reptentance- plus God. They saw life ever with respect to the Infinite. And that Is the only conception of existence worthy of the consideration of an immortal.
 It was a great God. as well as nigh God. that the Psalmist knew. He was exalted in glory and power and honor. The heather round about Wor- shipped debased and debasing gods: but the Hebrews conception of Jeho- yah was throughout singularly pure and noble. As are its objects of wor- ship, so will people become. An adequate conception of the Deity Is es- sential to all moral greatness of char acter. This truth saved Israel; 1t alone has persisted a nation, through out the overturning centuries. because 1t had a worthy idea of God. Wtthal, this great God enthroned above was understood to be interested in the af- fairs of his children. A tender solict- tude for their welfare animated his spirit at all times. He was regarded as loving shepherd, protecting. pre- serving and providing for his sheep. These two characteristics of Jehovah his highness and his nighness--differ- enttate him from all the other ideas of a god ever entertained by mankind.
 So long as man lives in world Of trouble he will need refuge above and beyond himself. That refuge the deyout heart, from the Psalmists day tf11 the present, finds in God.

How to Test a Newspaper
 Advertisement

The men who lead the masses all Eo4-~.s distinguishing characteristic. .,e
 No matter how illogical are their arguments or how fallacious their conclusions, they are confident in their afirmations.
 An authoritative tone must be assumed and maintained by the advertiser at all times and III all conditions.
 It is impossible for an advertiser to inspire confidence in others without possessing 1t himset and unless advertising IS awarded the readers con fdence, the advertiser is wasting his money.
 Yet too wanton an exhibition ot confidence IS dangerous The advertiser must keep in close touch with the pulse of the public and know how much the people will stand in this line
 While everybody unconsciously acknowledges leadership to others in many ways III thelr daily contact with their fellow men, no one IS happy m the consciousness of being forced.
 The results of newspaper advertising depend upon voluntary actions on the part of free people, and threats scares, pessimlstlc utterances VIII never make friends customers.
 Public service corporations should educate the public to the many advantages they offer.
 They could overcome much current preJudlce against monopoes and add greatly to their popular ity by asking the people for their patronage in a pleasing manner without in any way sacrificing thelr confident or authoritative standing.
 Optimism is wonderful confdence-nspirlng tonic. The opimist who is tempered by selt'con- trol, makes the best advertiser.
 An advertiser who in pessimistic tones con- tinuay decries competition and insinuaes that the people themselves cannot be trusted destroys con" fldence and will not command large success
 Let your advertising be authoritative not the self assertveness of the bull y- but express we'll regulated, optimistic, spirit of confidence

ACCUSED OF USING MAIL
FOR. FRAUDULENT PURPOSE
Promoter of the 1.-TWO Queens
Mine on Trial

KANSAS CITY, May 15.-Frank III.
Horn, one of the defendants on trial in
the federal COURT here, charged with
using the mails to defraud in promot-
ing the Two Queens mine. in Arizona
gave some interesting testimony on the
stand today. After saying that the
company had spent close to $4,000 in
two years in advertising the mine Horn
was asked how he first became interest
ed in the property.
Il first heard of the mines" Horn
said when l was in Los Angeles in the
summer of 1906. There / met two Ari-
iona prospectorS, S. d. Carbon and c..
c. Warner. They were trying to obtain
capital to develop the Two Queens
gold mines. The mines were discovered
by Carbon.
Garden said that he had taken ore
from the mine that assayed 100000 TO
the tom.
And you believed him and acted on
what he saidop Yes"
How much of the promotion stock
did you receiver" About 100000
ibid you intend to deceive the COM
pany or any of the purchasers of
stock?" NO / acted in good faith in
all that I did. l believed that we had
a wonderful mine and l said so in my
advertisements
On cross examination Horn admitted
that some of the statements in his let
ters were not based on facts, but that
they were sent out for the purpose of
selling stock.

STREET MADE DUMPING
GROUND BY RI. HI. LYNCH
United Railroads Cars Used to
Clear Stock Holders Lot

With complete indifference to a
storm of protest raised by angry prop
erty owners. the United Railroads and
one of its politicians and stock holders,
H. H. Lynch, broke the law yesterday
by converting a public city street into
dumping ground.
Lynch, who is the owner of vacant
lot at Powell and Washington streets
opposite the -United Railroads car
barn, determined to clean his property
OF debris that has been accommodating
for three years. The cheapest and cas-
lest way of disposing of the debris was
10 have it hauled away in United Rail-
roads cars and this method was
adopted.
Yesterday. without any permit from
city authorities. wagons carted the
refuse off Lynch's property around the
corner into Broadway between Mason
and Powell streets and there dumped
il TO the pavement. The heap choked
up the street and the stores and houses
in the vicinity received the full benefit
of the flying dust There was a storm
of protest. but 10 no avail. The work
went on until the lot had been cleaned.
In tho meantime the work cars Of
the United Railroads began hlling up
and removing the trash. This started
a second hurricane Of dust the dump
ing and reiOading on windy day
making conditions almost unbearable
for every one residing on the block
chosen as the private dumping ground

SEGER'SP ROMOTION
CAUSES SURPRISE
Young Desired to Complete
Fifty Years of Railroad
Service

The news Of the appointment OF c. -
Seger to succeed Erastus Young as
auditor of the Hartman lines was re-
ceived yesterday at the offices of the
Southern Pacific with surprise. as it had
been stated that Young desired to con-
tinue in Office until the first of the
year to round out 80 years of service
with the Union Pacific.
Few men in the railroad world have
made such rapid advancement as the
new general auditor of the Hartman
| lines, and il is all the more notable, as
he has grown up with the system, hav-
ing worked for no other railroad cor
poration since he entered railroad serv-
ice as an office boy at the age of Ia
with the old Morgan steamship line,
which ran vessels out of New Orleans
to New York, and had a railroad op-
Grating as far as the Sabine river.
He then went into the treasurer S
Office, of which Colonel John Richard
son was chief, and when the South
ern Pacific bought out the old Morgan
/ line, railroad and steamships as well
Seger, who had made good record
was put into the accounting depart
ment
WINS RECOGNITION
When the Texas law went into eff
feet, compelling the segregation of the
Texas and Louisiana Seger was sent
TO Houston as auditor of the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio, and
Texas and New Orleans railroad His
ability won instant recognition for
not only was he placed in charge of
the auditing department of all the
Texas lines, but he had also supervision
Of the auditing offices in New Orleans
and New York. TIfs salary was then
$1,000 a year
When Erastus Young and George r.
Klink had their famous falling out.
because Klink did not fit in with the
Young uniform system, which Youn y
had elaborated in accordance with Har-
riman's wishes, Seger was brought
from Houston to take Kinks place
here, with large increase in salary.
DIFFICULT WORK HERE
His work in Texas was as child,s plav
compared with what he has to do here.
In one office alone in this city he has
charge of 1900 persons, where he
supervises the work of the accounting
departments, of the passenger depart
ment, hotels and dining cars. auditor
car accounts. freight claim agent gen
eral accounting department. beside all
the accounts of the travelling auditors.
Many regrets are expressed that
Seger's new position will compel his
leaving San Francisco, and he probably
will make his headquarters in Chicago.
Railroadmep prophesy a still more
brilliant future for Seger, as he is Just
Al years old. In 26 years Seger has
from an Office boy with about So a Week
risen TO be general auditor of the big
gest railroad system in the world with
salary of something like $40 900 q
year.
There is much speculation with re-
gard to his successor in this city. and
many are inclined to believe that w. F..
ingram will be selected, owing to his
experience in both freight and pas
senger accounts.
