Winslow News Notes
 From The Winslow Mail
WHERE'S THE 30

"A MT. Mooch" who had done fifty days on the rock pile at Holbrook last week decided that Winslow was promising lock ing town in which to sojourn at the expense ot the people and as a preliminary to securing an invi- tation to stay copped bottle of old port at the Wigwam when the proprietor was right on the job.
 A visit to Judge Waite resulted in drawing a ten-day ticket and he was forthwith placed in char ge of Theodore the Brave to as sist in beautifying the public thoroughfares- Being supplied with the necessary implements and deportlng himself like one that would stand without belng hltched, just dying to do heroic execution on the bosom of moth erearth he was temporarily aban- doned by our energetic street commissioner whose many and ardurous duties required his pres euce elsewhere. Whether "Mr. Mooch" encountered a quartzite formation on the first stroke of his trusty pick; whether a glance at the eastern horizon evoked a flood of pleasant memories, or whether he lacked in appreci- ation ofour commissioner of pub. lie works are questions for which no answer can be obtained. Let it suffice to say that when Theo- dore. the Lion Hearted returned to his charge. or rather the place where he had been but was not, naught remained but the pick and shovel.
 Adjusting his long range spec tacles and directing his penetrat- ing gaze to the eastward our vigilant commissioner of public works dlscerncd, at a point where the sky meets the virgin prairie, a small and rapidly dinishing speck, which must have been close to a suburb of Holbrook.
 Filled with anger, chagrin, and a longing to brake a hole thru the fifth commandment, he slap ped his empty hip pocket. and bemoan1ne the absence of his long range "smoke wagon" he gathered up the tools and as he walked along he was heard to murmer something about "cy- otes, -! --!," etc, a langu- age not 1ntelligible to our inform ant.
 An interview with our usually genial official elicited no further informa ation than that the next "mooch" would be properly dec, orated with the iron harness and ball trimmings.

greater number of these thousands believe in the very things a Christian is trying to live up to, and yet allow him and his associates to struggle to keep alive the influences that make most largely for peace and happiness, saying by their attitude: We believe in all you are doing, and we are will ing to benefit by your efforts but we will not take the trouble to back you up in the community by our presence at your gatherings for worship Yes. down beneath everything else this must receive the nan.e of selfshnesy.

any other day. This gives us time to
 10 everything in l.isurely and rest full manner, and at the same rate of motion we could could get ready for church-if we wanted to. The most of my neighbors are in the same state.
 In the second place, I've noticed that when we arrange to spend the day in the country or the parks in summer or 10 go Sisiting in the win ter, we can get round it long before I church time! Going over the matter this way makes it begin to look as if it were simple case of lack of in- terest. And yet it's not that exactly either. The truth is that this apathy of mine is indulged becanee I know the members will keep the church going The Sunday school with it's teachers of the things we believe in will be doing business, and, with it's elevating moral influence it will continue to benefit our children and ourselves. We are interested enough. And if Christians will do these things for us why not let them? By the way they act they seem glad to get the children to come to Sunday school, and by the way they did all they .o'lld to help at Donaldson's funeral l may take it for granted that they would do the same for me, so what's the use of my attending church? If they want to keep the church alive, teach the Bible and the principles l beleive in, and give me the benefit of Christian civilization and a Christian burial at last, why should I assist? If they are willing to do these things why shouldn't l sit on the veranda Sunday morning reading my paper in summer, or toast my toes before the grate in win ter, and let the members of a church support it by their time and presence and 1 and my family reap the bene- fits? High moral principle, this!
 My thoughts rambled on in this fashion, as they will sometimes, un- til I concluded at length, that, per haps, l might not be getting things strengthened cut to the best advan- tage; so 1 determined to have talk with the minister who officiated at Donaldson's funeral al see how he viewed tie situation. called him mp two or three days later and told him would like to have some conyer- sation with him, and he told me to come on over.
 I went and stated the case to him as had thought it out.
 After we had talked things over in general way, he turned to me in the frankest possible way and de- clared:
 q really don't see how you expect me to enlighten you on some Of the aspects of this condition we are talk ing about. It seems as if you ought to be the one to clear up the matter for me.
 We'll" I said, cit seems to me that man in haze is poor one to clear up the subject of his fog, but if I should try to answer I should say downright selfishness. That is about the only explanation I can see.'
 ''Well, maybe-yes, I believe you are right" he said, slowly. That is in the ultimate analysis. But, as nearly as I can put myself in your place and that of the others remain ing at home, your answer needs some modification. It is true that the

occasion as this, and of a Christian resignation, so helpful because of his confidence in the love of God, and SC on. l was good deal stirred up and looked at the faces of the neigh1ors to SC how they felt. While there was sympathy enough for Mrs Don- alGson there was very little response to the sentiments of the minister SC far as I could discern.
 When the service was over I went home and had another time of think ing, out there on the veranda where 1 generally sit to watch people go by on their way to church. From a business standpoint that minister was under no more obligation to at- tend the funeral than John Jones, of Jones & Jones, attorneys, would be to look after the collection of Don aldson's life insurance and attend to any other dozen legal details arising from his death. But when Jones is ralied in his firm is paid for his time. If he and his firm spent as many hours and did as much for Donald sons widow as the minister and church have the fee would be way up in the dollars, and it would be such satisfaction to know that every thing was properly sertled. In this case, of course, the church isn't To ,k- ing for pay in dollars, but as an it. stitution whose principles and mem bership nake possible the Christian burial of this man, so far as appear ances and actions go, it is given no consideration at all as factor in the 1T angements.
 Now, I'm expecting to live in a peaceful, safe community, protected by law iii The rurauit of business, so- clai enjoyment, and domestic happi- ness. kow that if 1t were not for the churches this would be impossi- ble, and I know, too, that the majori- ty of men and women in this part of town wouldn't live aud bring up their children in pla.'e where there isn't a Sunday school to send them to or a chul ch to exert its influence. Well, then. how uch do contribute to uphold this institution that is do- ing so much for me and mine? And as l am considering it now, I don't mean in the way of money, but in any direction, such as talking up re- ligious service as good thing for the neighboI hood, and backing up what 1 say by my actions; for 1 find it's easy enough to acknowledge the good f religion in words, but the rub comes in on the action. Now, per haps. as wisl, to be honest with my self, I may get at it to little better advantage if l just take look to see hoy much I've contributed toward killing churches, or making it as difficult as possible for them to do business.
 Well, my first contribution toward a church is to stay away from its services on Sunday. I work hard six days in the week, and to lie abed Sunday morning until it's too late to go to church is real luxury that I'm entitled to. This has been stock argument with me for a long time, nut waen come to put it to an honest test it fails in two particulars. In the first place, I discovered long ago that the very worst thing could do for my health was to try and get more sleep on Sunday morning than I needed. On this account we all rise only about an hour later than on

NEW YORK. Sept Slowing to an
unusual disturbance from electrical

One OF the telegraph officials said the
interruption was undoubtedly due TO the
