The Fifth Annual Roll Call serv'
ice OF the First Baptist Church was
held last Friday evening at o clock
The service was opened by singing
that grand old hymn; IAN Hal
the Power OF Jesus Name" Fol
lowing the song we were favored by
an address of welcome by our pas
tor, Rev. Owen. There were 9th
CT good addresses during the even
ing, among them one by Rev Il. A.
Leonard and another by Mr.. c.
Parker, our secretary of the state
work. The latter gave a very in
teresting report OF the Northern
Baptis, Convention which was held
in Chicago. There were some fine
musical selections rendered by the
choir during the evening,
After the roll was called aud res
ponses were heard from the mem
bers, we were asked To partake #
the refreshments, which had been
prepared by the ladies OF the church.
Every one present reported a very
enjoyable time, IL will certainly be
day long to he remembered by
the Baptists and their friends who
were in attendance, CON.

A STRANGE WORLD

Henry Ernest, an aged cripple,
who tried to end his life Monday
night by leaping into the river from
the Burnside bridge, was convicted
of disorderly conduct yesterday
before Municipal Judge Bennett,
and was sentenced to ten days on
the rock pile. Ernest has been
earning a precarious living by sell
ing shoestrings on the street cor
ners. He became weary of the
work on Monday and tried to end
il for all time. The men of the
United States gunboat Yorktown
dragged him from the river before
he was seriously injured"
The above extract taken from
a Portland daily paper last week
would lead one to believe that the
milk Of human kindness had de-
parted from that city, yet thou-
sands of dollars have been raised TO
assist a young actress who was un-
fortunate enough to have her two
legs amputated owing TO her being
run down by railroad train, which
also proves the people of Portland
and vicinity are generous enough
in some instances. On one hand
we have an old man, crippled, try.
ing to exc out a miserable existence
by selling shoe strings, rather than
20 to a county home. Becoming
discouraged and despondent he tries
to put an end to his life. Upon
being rescued, he is sentenced to
ten days on the rock pile by an un.
feeling judge. What an inspiring
picture Il must make TO see this
poor old cripple pathetically at
tempting TO do n days work at
pounding rock. Shouldn't we be
proud Of such n judge who would
sentence a man in this condition TO
the rock pile aud the community
that would permit such an outrage
10 be perpetratedp II he should be
punished at all, why not send
him to Jail. where he would be fed
and housed aud given a chance TO
rest up for a short period at least
On the other hand we have an
actress, beautiful, youthful and
charming. Unfortunate. Il Is true,
yet she has a husband living and

Want the Lid Put on.

A petition was presented to the
city council Tuesday night praying
that moving picture shows, pool
rooms and card rooms be ordered
closed on Sundays. The petition
averred that these places were run
for gain, were demoralizing and a
desecration of the day. The mat
ter was referred to the license COM
mittee, and what disposition will be
made Of il remains to be seen. The
friends of these establishments
claim that the petition is discrimi-
mating in its character, and there
fore, cannot be granted. Cigar
stands, drug stores, ice cream and
confectionery stores, and even the
contribution box on Sundays, they
say, are being run for gain, and
that If one place is closed, by the
same token all places should receive
like treatment. The church ele-
ment, by which the petition was
signed, claim that the resorts men
toned interfere with attendance at
divine worship, and attract the
younger folks away. Whereas, II
these places were closed they be
lieve the youth would be more sus-
ceptible to religious influence. II
all depends on the angle from
which one views the situation, and
whether closing would have the
effect the church element expects
and hopes IL would have is a
mooted question. The patrons Of
the show and pool room claim they
will not be driven into church by
this method, while the church
members believe they can be led in
that direction IL temptation to go to
these places is removed. II is up
TO the license committee to settle
the problem.

Use this Now Hearing Device for
80 Days on Homo Trial

Electricity has worked an additional
wonder, and by it's use in this new device
it is now possible for the deafest person to
hear distinctly all the sounds audible to
those who possess their normal faculties
of hearing.
We have perfected this instrument to
such degree that we now unhesitatingly
send it to any afflicted person on thirty
days trial, that they may know by actual
experience that by its aid the deafest per
son can hear-can converse as those who
are not afflicted converse and can enjoy
the theatre and distinctly hear public
speakers.
The Electrophone is so sensitive that
the faintest sound is multiplied many
times in volume, SO that the ear is made
to receive and properly record every
sound made.
The Electrophone is much more sensi-
tive and multiplies the sound a great deal
more than any other device. A small
transmitter gathers in the sound and
transmits it with greatly increased volume
to the ear, an electric device accomplish
ing this result.
Most people who use the Electrophone
tell us it has greatly improved their hear
ing and that it stopped their head noises.
and in many instances the normal hearing
has been entirely restored Just as the
arms or legs shrivel and become useless
through the lack of exercise. the ear also
fails through disuse. The Electrophone
exercises the parts of the ear. each to play
its proper function, with the result the
hearing is greatly improved.
Thousands of these instruments are in
use. No treatment of any kind is taken
in connection with their use
If you are deaf or hare Of hearing. don't
fail to send name and address on this
coupon. We will send you a list of many
responsible people who are using the Elec
trophone. You are to use the Stolz Elec-
trophone thirty days before you are to de-
eide to keep it.

effect that in the days of Elector John of Bran

then disappeared, and ever since the stone,
which has no real value, has been treasured as
one of the most precious possessions of the

Frederick the Great it set in a ring, which
since that time has always adorned the finger
of the head of the house.
The Emperor has also another ring he highly
prizes, which for centuries has been credited
with supernatural power to protect its wearer
from harm of any kind.

cheerful, but not light; generous, but not

GEORGIA SCENES
The Charming Creature As a Wife

Smith returned to the city from Philadal-
years, she had completed her education.
She was the only child of wealthy, I'M
lettered merchant who, rather by. good
luck than good management, had amassed
fortune of about $4,000. Mr.. Smith
was one of those men who conceived that
all earthly greatness, and consequently
all earthly bliss, concentrated in wealth.
The consequence was inevitable. To the
poor he was naughty, supercilious and
arrogant, and, not unfrequently, wan
tonly insolent; to the rich he was friend
ly. kind, or obsequious, as their purses
equalled or over-measured his own. His
wife was even below himself in moral
stature; proud, loquacious. silly. Evelina
was endowed by nature with good
mind and what her parents esteemed OF
more value, she was beautiful
from her infancy to the time when | in
troduced her to the reader which was
just after she had completed her 18th
year. Evelinas time between her 9Th
and 14th year, had been chiefly employed
in learning from her father and mother
what perfect beauty she was and what
kind of gewgaws exhibited her beauty
to the greatest advantage, how rich she
would be. and what havoc she would
make of young mems hearts by-and-by.
IL these instructive lectures her parents
sometimes found gratuitous help from
silly male and female visitors who, pure
ly to win favor from the parents, would
expatiate on the perfection of the love-
W. charming" beautiful little crea-
ture" In her presence. The consequence
was that pride and vanity became, at an
early age, the leading traits of the child's
character, and admiration and fiattery
