MAN PAYS FOR RIDE He
STOLE FROM RAILROAD
Company to Establish Fund from
Conscience Money to
Aid Needy Patrons

T. C. Peck, general passenger agent
of the Salt Lake railroad, received one
of the great surprises of his life yes
terday morning, and as result the
Salt Lake railroad probably will soon
establish a fund for the benefit OF poor
and needy patrons of its lines, which
will be known as the Charity" fund.
Such a fund has been suggested
number of times but until yesterday
no official action had been taken.
When. however, a man walked into
Mr. Pecks office yesterday morning,
and. after giving his right name and
address (here in Los Angeles), ac-
knowledged having stolen ride from
Salt Lake city to Los Angeles two
wears ago and offered to pay for said
ride, the optimistic G.. P. A. of the Salt
Lake decided it was time to do some-
thing.
For some time the company has
been wondering what to do with its
conscience" money-that is, the
money paid into its treasury by peo-
pie who, at some time have. or imagine
they have, beaten the road out of Its
lust compensation for transportation.
The road has $500 on hand taken In
in this manner, and 1t has been de-
cided to place this sum in fund which
will be supported from other sources,
to be used to aid needy and un1or-
tunate passengers on the company 3
lines. Details as to its disbursement
will be made later.
And what started it all was the fact
that a man paid s25 which he thought
he owed the Salt Lake. According to
Mr.. Peck all other conscience stricken
railroad beaters hitherto have not pos
sessed nerve enough to appear in per-
son with their back payments, but In
stead sent them through the mail.
When the man appeared yesterday,
confessing all and offering to pay up,
Mr.. Peck assured him he did not owe
the road anything. The one with the
aching conscience insisted on paying
$25. which was accepted.

THE HOMEIY MAN

4 woman writer for a magazine of today expresses the opinion that the houely man Is more in favor with pre- possessing women than the good look CT Beauty, she intimates. is intensi- lied by strong contrasts, and that a Beautiful woman knows this and will brook no rival near the throne, but sees in a handsome man more or less of competitor" If this Is so, it is a manner of mating natural to a great many Of Gods creatures-nota- ply among the birds, where if the male is beautifully plumaged. the female is not and vice versa-nO pair are equal ly beautifIl-beauty is then intensified 5y a sharp contrast
 The man who is conscious that he is a good looiler-who has a way of making up and posing. who has a taste for peacocking ng-is regarded by the 1ai- as a Miss Nancy or 9 sissy boy" Prettiness and real manliness rarely exist in the same frame. The man who feels surer Of his power than his comeliness. who can defend a fair one better than he can compliment her, who is conscious that he is plain and does not care 2 continental if he is who has 9 fearless and independent spirit # he hasn't curly hair. does take with the ladies; and he is in favor because he represents the sterner qual- tttes which are needed for a perfect union The pretty man finds his plain maid and these contrasts seem to be as naturally kept up among humans as elsewhere upon this round globe Of ours

Check That Gold !

It is a great mistake to let a cough or cold run unchecked Aside from the unpleasantness and discomfort there is a real danger in the resulting irritation of the throat, lungs and bronchial organs, which leaves them sore and very susceptible to pneu- u1onia and consumption.
 It is not our purpose to recomm end any particular brand of patent cough medicine. A simple, inexpensive and very effective remedy can easily be prepared at home by mixing two ounces of Glycerine and a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure with eight ounces of pure Whisky. This formula is frequently prescribed and Is highly recommended by the Leach Chemical Co-, of Cincinnati who prepare the genuine Virgin oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing through druggists.
 It is claimed that a teaspoonfui of this mixture four times a day will break up a cold in twenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curable-

once dip into this thrilling story of a masterly life you will put it down with reluctance. for it depicts a. ca reer and a character that have seldom been approXimated in the annals of the race. Read it to see what a work house boy can make of himself by sheer pluck and persistence, to see now when man grown he felt the wonderful leadings of God.
 Another book of the reminiscent or der is that of Dr. Washington Gladden., in which he tells simply but forcibly the story of his long and fruitful life as author, preacher and reformer. The account is also an epitome of the stir ring events of the last 50 years in this country and shows how a genuinely religious man conceives of his respon- abilities and his opportunities as a citizen Read the book and catch the contagion of it's cheery optimism
 Still another unveiIing of a large personality is the volume by Rev. Dr. William Newton Clarke, one of the leading teachers of theology in Amer lea, entitled Sixty Years with the Bible" If you have thrown away the theory of verbal inspiration and with il any regular reading of the Bible iS for any other reason you are ig- norant of the value and helpfulness Of the Bible when approached in the full light of modern scholarship. read this book of Dr. Clarke to find out what a human and at the same time wna t a divine book it is He has greatly modified his childhood view of the Scripture and he is a believer in rev erent higher criticism, but he has gone on from decade to decade to find Tn

Moreover, editors and publishers are becoming past masters in the art of presenting their goods in a style that arrests the we may easily waste good time in simply skimming lightly over the lat est mOnthlies or indeed in reading with avidity their fascinating fea- other matter affecting our best life is the sense of proportion plus the cOur- age that will lead us to choose the better and the best instead of the good.
 And with a view to encouraging some persons to take up a book on some of the occasions when they would inStiuctiVely turn to newspaper or a magazine, I venture to name a few volumes out of the multitude recently issued What in this last seasons tremendous output of books is really worth while: I cannot give an ade- quate or exhaustive reply to this ques- tion, but out of personal knowledge I can recommend confidently at least half a dozen.
 At the head of the list, would put Henry M. Stanley's noble autobi- ography. I happen to know that the staff of a leading New York literary syndicate has recently concurred in the judgment that this book is not only the greatest book of the year but the greatest book ever published.

THE UNDER DOG.

Is the under dog the dog we rate him to be? He may be to blame for being the under dog. or he may not be all to blame. We are not fast to in- quire as to causes. We are bred to be aid. The under dog may be less of a brute than we think and more of a problem. The other evening a MT. Fels of Philadelphia, a successful bus mess man and a Christian socialist, who mingles with the unfortunate classes-with the yellow dogs of the metropolis, made the following perti- nent remarks:
 we complain that the men in the bread line sell their votes; what else have they to sell? Neglecting equity, we defraud and disemploy them. We do not attend to the public business; the public business is neglected and the consequences annoy us"
 His attitude toward them is right. for he calls them men, not floaters: and when this picture is before us the man who buys them looks more des- picable than the man bought.
 This suppression of the kindlier feel ings which lead to sympathetic action and deserved assistance is too fash ionable. We should not be afraid of doing harm by kindness It is the other thing that makes criminals and brutes of men. If we kept our minds and our hearts right, there would be no class among men known as the under dog.

T. is interesting as the clamor for postal savings banks becomes more and more persistent to learn something Of the experience of England along these lines Word comes from abroad that the operation of the system is nor wholly encouraging.
 According to the statement of one Of the high officials of this service 1t Is regarded as a current account for convenience rather than for economy.

 The idea of the system is not so much to produce a revenue as to es- tablish a convenient and safe place in which the people can deposit their funds: and. still it is not the govern mentz purpose to create a new source for making deficits.

THE SCIENCE OF FLYING.

The navigators of the air have had a memorable trial of airships at Los Angeles, and as was expected, new records have been made and the most wonderful stunts have been done with out a mishap. As a high flyer Louis Paulhan approached a height of 5000 feet. while for speed, Glenn H. Curtiss in his American machine beat all oth- CTS.
 It is surprising to note what strides these flying machines are making. and how much safer they appear to be than the old balloon. several of which have been in service the past week at Los Angeles.
 Professor Longley placed his faith upon the aeropiane, and although he expended $100,000 in his experiments he never made a machine that would navigate the air we'll. He and others who believed that the heavier than air machines would solve the problem were derided not so many years ago; but today there is not a question that Professor Longley and the men who agreed with him were right
 There was a time when the progress with these machines was slow, but at Los Angeles the past week many new devices have been brought out, and now the Improvements are coming along day by day in a way which gives promise that in a few years more the airship will be a common sight in the heavens.
 The Tillinghast machine Is not talk en seriously anywhere except in New England, yet; but if the tests which it is alleged have been given it of late are authenticated it will be excelled by none for speed or safety.
 The age of air navigation has dawn ed and flight will become more and more common as these tournaments are held.

Cwritten for The Bulletin.)

In every line of last weeks poem there is subject-matter for a little talk on paper-which, by the way. is all that writing is. The second line worlz-day world" and without att tempting to pass the '1imits," I have chosen the words, In Our Work-day World, because they express the state of life to which most of us are called, ali of us indeed who heed the instruc- tion ito learn and labor truly to get our own living"
 Now with the passing of Epiph- any the holidays are over. l wonder how many of us are glad to settle down once more into our everyday, work-a-day, routine of life. 1 won- der because I note among us all, dear air of '1et-down," difficult to describe, similar perhaps to the lassftude and disfllusionment of the morning after the ball. a droop of relaxation that visibly affects all the muscles of the body and, notably, the carriage of the head and shoulders Look at the dear people in the electric cars. our fellow passengersi Not one sits up quite so straight as he did before Christmas, none of us are so alert, nor quite so ready to meet conditions half way, to speak the seasons word of greeting, to laugh or smile, and by no means so willing to "crowd up" to make room for one more. In a word, our mood is lowered at least @ seTni-tone. while all the brilliant rose and gold of holi- day week seems ground down into the dullness of purplish grey Nobody likes purplish-grey, particularly when mixed with mud color. But what are we going to do about it? Having wished everybody a happy new year in the same old wav do we not feel that we have done all that can req sonably be expected of us. IT not little more? I wonder if we are really glad to be at work again, if we really love our work better than anything else, and if we are glad and happy and thankful to live in a work-day world.
 Let us talk it over Now, the way you and I and every one else looks, is precisely the way you and I feel. This droop of relaxation that I see In you and you see in me, seems to be more than the natural 1et-down after the holiday strain, more than the pleasant sense of wearineSS that comes with the realization of another years tasks completed. Forgive me if I say that we all look diScOura ged, diSheart- ened, as though a veil had been drop ped between us and the bright bit of faeryland we caught glimpSes of dur ing holiday week; almost as though our daily living were a daily grind, a we may eat tomorrow; too often car rying with it a weary sense of futility, as of getting nowhere. Am I putting it too strongly? If not, then what is it that is wrong?
 This brings me to one of the prob Iems that has troubled me from child hood, ever since I first began to ask the question of the ages-Why? Tell me. why is not all life one grand an them of joy? Something must be wrong with the worker who does not enjoy his work It is natural to like to use our God given abilities-physi- cal, mental and temperamental.

IS THE CHURCH DEcLINING7

There are plenty of people among the iaity and among the clergy who think that the church is declining. ap- bearing to be totally unaware of the fact that the church which Is divinely founded cannot decline. that truth is eternal
 The Christian should not be expected 10 continue forever and ever of one rTps or mould They have not and they will not-the world is moving along new lines and because old forms are passing away is no evidence that old truths are being dishonored. All that is worth preserving will be pre- served and that which represents caar will be borne away by the winds.
 We are too apt to think of the church as the deserted meeting house out in the country, or the little assem- ply O meeting houses in our town, in- Etead of as the aggregate of congrega- eicns who in the name of the Lord are moving along love lines and charity lines all over the earth and on most Of the seas The church is a world power-a God-inspired movement for the eunohlement of man. The church may actually show signs of becoming .ncre practical and less rhoretical. but this shCull not be interpreted as a de- cline. rcr tt must prove to be st-lc-irE movement The sum to- tal Sot hunan character is the sum to-ai oE the church ft represents.
