SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Chicago Record-Herald:, A Peoria preacher
has resigned to become base ball
umpire. Having taken precautions for
saving his soul, he probably believes he
can afford to risk his life.
Philadelphia Ledger: Certain excellent
people intend to call on Mr.. Morgan to
give $16,OOOOOO towards evangeizing the
earth If they're going to evangelize his
world for him, of course, Mr.. Morgan ought
to chip in.
ST. Louis Republic: The minister of the
gospel who has resigned his pastorate to
umpire a base ball game will find that the
saving OF souls is very much less strenuous
than being condemned to everlasting perdi-
tion by the losing team
Philadelphia Bulletin: Doctor johnson,
minister, said last Sunday of Rockefeller:
He is the noblest, gentlest and sweetest
soul l have ever met" Into the unbiased
minds leaps a suspicion that the good
doctor is laying a foundation for something
or other himself.

Americans Tender Hearted.

In spite of the rush of our business
affairs, the clang and whirr of our ma
chinery and the flutter and sparkle of
our social life we Americans carry
warm, tender hearts. The speed at
which we live and the demands which
are made upon us produce in some
cases what some have been pleased to
call American stoicism," {" with the ac-
cusation that We are cold, have little
pity for suffering and grief and that
life for us is summed up in the dollar
and the luxuries it will buy. Others
OF our critics, not so severe, give us
credit for possessing sympathy and
compassion, but say that we take pride
in hiding that fact.
1t must not be denied that the de-
mand of the times and the speed of
modern life require a concentration Of
attention and ability which often
serves to deaden sentiment. THE
struggle for existence" is fierce and
"he who does not fight upon the firing
line must forfeit the laurel wreath of
victory and success" Yet in spite of
what others may say, Americans are,

SERMONS BOILED DOWN,

The empty head never has a light heart.
Polishing a pew is not furnishing a
crown.
You cannot mend broken hearts with
soft solder.
The new day comes by sitting up at night
worrying over It,
Lamps are to be known by their radiance,
not by the racket they make.
There's a lot of difference between put
ting sins away and covering them up.
Most of us are willing to take lessons
In patience at the other mans clinic.
When man aims his prayers at another
he always misses the throne of grace
Make people think better OF themselves
and you will not need to worry over your
own epftaph? -hl- awe"

knows 1t pays, pays too much for the
goodness he gets.-Chicago Tribune. ,..

While the democrats are quite will

calculated to break up the republican
column, they have no use for insur-

A movement is on foot in England
to reform the marriage ceremony re
quired by the established church SO
that the promises exacted shall mean
something and be possible of fulfill
ment. The nub Of the matter. how
ever, is that when the groom now says
with all my worldly goods l thee en-
dow" under the existing laws govern
ing women's property rights he does
not endow his bride with anything
Naturally. we in America do not appre
ciate this difficulty because in our In
ternational marriages It is the Amer
ican heiress who endows the foreign
husband with worldly goods.

BABY'S SCALP ALL
CRUSTED OVER
With Eczema That Broke Out when
but Three Months Old Burned
and ItChed So She Could Not Sleep
Chance of Cure Seemed Slight,
CURE BY CUTICURA
EASY AND COMPLETE

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began TO break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her. but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
ewes became crossed from the disease
and her scalp was a solid scale all over.
The burning and itching was so severe
that she could not rest, day or night.
We had about given up all hopes when
we read an advertisement OF the Cuti-
cura Remedies. We at once got a cake
of Cuticura Soap, a box Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle OF Cuticura Resolv-
ent and followed directions carefully.
After the first dose Of the Cuticura Re
solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely
and applied the Cutioura Ointment.
Then she began to improve rapidly and
in two weeks the scale came Oft her head
and new hair began to grow. In a very
perfectly straight when she recovered
and have been so ever since. She is now
sixteen years OF age and is a picture OF
health. We know the Cuticura Rene
dies cured her and have used them in
our family ever since.
I'VE used the Cuticura Remedies
about five weeks, regularly, and then
we could not tell she had been affected
with any disease. She suffered with
burning and itching and hard, scaly,
dandruff-loo scabs all over her head
and in places on her body. We used no
other treatments after we found out what
the Cuticura Remedies would do for her.

Discipline at West Point.
Baltimore American.

The secretary of war and the superin-
tendent of West Point should be sustained
in their efforts to abolish hazing in that
institution and to maintain its discipline
at a high standard. That discipline would
be seriously impaired If the cadets dis
missed for violating strict regulations
should be reinstated by sympathetic
members Of congress. If open disobedi-
ence is to be tolerated or condoned, the

FRATERNAL INSURANCE LAW.
This a Subject Likely to be Considered
BY Next Legislature.

According To Deputy Insurance Com
missioner Rowland, it is very probable
that there viii come before the state
legislature at its next session, a bill
seeking To restore the solvency of the
fraternal insurance companies doing
business in Michigan.
At a conference which is to be held
in New York this month the fraternal
committee of the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners proposes
TO make a final draft of uniform bill
for state regulation which will make
compulsory steps to safeguard fra
ternal insurance aggregating approx
imately nine billion dollars.
The movement is not new one. 1t
was tried out some time ago. and at
the last session of the Legislature i'm
this state the draft submitted by the
national commissioners was presented
in bill. 1t met with the instant oppo-
sltion of almost every fraternal organ
ization in Michigan and at a session
held i'm the senate chamber almost ev-
cry company was represented who de-
clared emphatically that the compan-
les could not live if compelled To raise
their rates The measure was defeat
ed not only in Michigan but in every
state
The tentative draft of a uniform
measure adopted at the conference in
Chicago, May IS and 10. has been con-
sidered by the insurance heads of all
the states and by the governing boards
of most of the fraternal societies since
that time and to some extent by men,
berships of the societies. Superinten-
dent W. II. Hotchkiss Of the New York
insurance department has said: I'm
questlonably the matter is a most i'm
portant one" The members who have
refused voluntarily to accept readjust-
ments Of rates to prevent disaster,
which actuaries and officers have
warned them is automatically certain
without readjustment, show little dis
position as yet to obviate state regu-
lation.

MAY RAISE TAX RATE TO

OTHER MUNICIPAL MATTERS

Members OF the board OF review Of

ian. John +. Chynoweth ana Peter
Braun. will DE in session today and to-
morrow. Although the board was i'm
session yesterday, they have not been
called upon TO make any charges m
the ASSESSED valuation OF property in
the village so far. General satisfac-
lion is manifested by the residents
with their property valuations. The
total assessed valuation Of the real
and personal property ia the village Is
not as high tins year as last and IN al
most every instance reductions have
been noted. Il IS not believed that the
total valuation viii exceed $3,100000,
which Is considerable less than that Of
last year The decrease is not due 70
thc fact that property has decreased I'm
value. but IL is claimed that the as
sesscd valuation last year was higher
than Il should DE. This fact made
Il possible To reduce the rate of taxa
dion last year from l per cent to 3
mills. The valuation rs shown by the
assessors rolls this year Is practically
the same as the years preceding 1909.
II is expected that Il the adjourned
regular meeting OF the council next
tuesday evening, the tax rate viii DE
restored 10 / per cent which WI en-
able the council TO raise the s.sme
amount of taxes this year as In past
