"Greater love hath no man than this
that he give his life for his friends" Up
on this text Rev. George T. Harris, pas
tor of the Methodist Church, preached
special sermon Sunday evening to mem
bers of the Knights of Pythias. Afte
relating the beautiful story of Damo
and Pythias, handed down from Rom
four hundred years before Christ, tn
speaker said there was nothing create
than true friendship. Dionysius was tn
ruling tyrant of the city of Syracuse
and because he was opposed by Damon
ordered that the latter's head be cut o.
and he was thrown into prison. On th
day of execution Pythias offered himse
as hostage that Damon might bid h
wife and family farewell. The return {
Pythias at the hour of execution touche
the heart of the tyrant, who marveled {
this exhibition of friendship, and Dionysiu
not only released Pythias but granted
pardon to Damon. A parallel to such d,
voted friendship was drawn by the mini
, ter In relating the story of Calvary. A
result of reading the principles of Il
order the speaker remarked; Il don't 81
| how any member of the Knights OF Pytl
| las can live up to the high principles
that order unless he has the loye of jest
Christ in his heart-unless he Is Chri

Montpelier, Idaho, Nov. II 1909

As might be expected some
'skicks" are being registered
against the Montpelier physi-
clans for increasing the charg-
es on calls made after 9:30
D.. IN. from s. to $3. Now
these people should remember
that physicians are human
beings and need rest and
sleep, just the same as does
their fellow man. However,
it is not the necessary night
calls that the physicians com
plain Of, but the unnecessary
ones-those made by indlvid-
uals for trifiing causes which,
in many instances, could have
been attended to earlier in
the day.
No other class of profess
sional men do as much real
charity work as the physician.
He administers to the POOR
in many cases where he never
receives a cent for his servic-
es or for the medicine fur
nished. Tn a thousand and
one other ways a physician,
during his life time, admins
tiers to the wants of the peo-
pie, for which no compensa-
ton is received.
II is probably because of
these acts of charity that the
public generally becomes
Needless of the physicians
welfare, and treat him merely
as a convenience, to be used
at their own discretion, With
out any respect or considera-
tion for the doctors comfort
or feelings.
The Examiner feels that the
physicians of Montpelier are
justified in increasing the
charge for their night calls,
as an Offset for the loss OF
sleep and disturbed.rest which
is often sorely needed by
them. Besides, in making
this new rate our physicians
are only following the rule
that is being adopted by the
physicians throughout the
country.

One of the cGSiest-going, most shift

through life, too lazy to travel any way
except with the current, was Sam Doc

chronic complaint with him, and it

poct"d anything else of him.
In the cour. q of time Sam died. The
funeral arrangements had been MAIDS
and the announcement sent out, when.
owing TO other engagements of the OF.
fciating clergy man, it was found nee.
cSSaly TO change the time TO an hour
ahead, and as Il consequence the body
reached the cemetery considerably
earlier than the original schedule had
contemplated.
AS the procession entered the gate
ana halted. the old gravedigger who
had not been notified Of the change of
time. dropped his spade in surprise
and asked:

Upon being assured that it was. he

Tor their ornamental and beautifying

LIVING Pictures.

Universal laZiness, nihiIism of
ideas, the desire to get every hing
without trouble, in lands that the rods
never travers2d, have PROVOKED living
pictures. Eclectic gentlemen have OBJ
served that the graceful and violent
exercise Of the dance has measurably
developed the legs of women, while it
left. their busts delicate, and that
women in costumes would have
most harmonious beauty if they re-
manned calm. They are calm in the
new, evolution Of the drama. In the
noise of vague music which will
eventually be suppressed, spectators
seated before curtain and immOv-
able women behind it look at one an
other patiently and silently like two
flocks of geese. Thalia now is dumb
and has quite forgotten her hymn in
praise of Bacchus. The end Of the
evolution will be that people will go
to the theater to see nothing at al. 1

ton; but | do not like perfection."-
