And from that moment until he had
finished he refused to say another
word. Mrs. Bowser told him of a dog
fight and an arrest and an accident,
but he heard her with stern set face
and uttered no word. 1t was only
when the family room was reached
that he turned to her with:

ferred to. Haven't I always BEEN an

foolish bargains
"Oh, 1 have? That is just the sub
ject we are to talk about. If they
have been foolish it is because you
have butted in. I call your attention
to the fact that when [ wanted to run
a dairy farm you opposed it. There
was a sure fortune in my grasp, but
was foolish enough to listen to you

away tens of thousands of dollars

Vinced you after an hours argum ent

went on as if she had not spoken.

us in a fortune in three years, but you
had to butt in again.

"And where is there more money

chance of a lifetime. but you butted

A CHURCH FOR CHILDREN.
Methodist Young Folk in Columbia,
Mo-, Have Services of Their Own.

The Columbia (Mo) Junior Meth
odist church is not the Sunday school
of that denomination. 1t is a separate
and distinct church, made up of the
little folks in Columbia whose folks
are Methodists.
They meet every Sunday morning at
the same time that the grownups,
their fathers and mothers, are partici-
pating in church services upstairs.
Their auditorium is the basement of
the church, and they have their pas
tor their choir and their church du-
ties, just the same as their elders. The
congregation is by no means a small
one either, as it averages about sew
enty each Sunday.
1t is the only juvenile church, so far
as known, in the United States. 1t
was organized by the Rev. c. NJ. Aker,
pastor of the Methodist church.
It is in charge of his brother G. c.
Aker, a student in the University of
Missouri, who is fitting himself for the
ministry. Mr.. Akers chooses text
from the Bible and breaches a ser
mon to the little ones in simple Ian
guage.

as being even within measurable dis
tance of the desired goal an infinite
amount at home in the dark places
which too often closely surround the
brightest centers of light and an
infinite amount abroad in those
dark places of the earth where Black
ness is as yet unrelieved by any light
when such is the high purpose to
which you have dedicated yourselves
it is eminently fitting that your invita-
ton should have gone to all Christian
churches in all lands 1 am sure that
there will be a general and, I hope, a
universal response In missionary
work above all other kinds of Chris
tian work, it is imperative to remem-
Der that a divided Christendom can
only imperfectly bear witness to the
essential unity of Christianity. I be-
lieve that without compromise of be-
lief, without loss of the positive good
contained in the recognition of diversi-
ties of gifts and differences of admin
istration, the Christian churches may
yet find a way to cordial cooperation
and friendship as regards the great
underlying essentials upon which as a
foundation all Christian churches are

ANTI-CHURCH CLOSING PLAN.
Rector Asks for Attendance at Serv.
ices Only Once a Month.

A novel plan has. been devised by the
Rev. DIR. William McCord, rector of All
Saints Episcopal church, Bayside, N.
Y, to avoid closing the church for the
summer. In a letter to every com
municant the rector says he recognizes
''the call of the wild but he urges
that each person attend divine service
once p month. He has divided the
congregation into groups and has fixed
dates for each group tc attend church.
The pastor says he knows the at
fractions of yachting, motoring and
other summer pastimes. but thinks his
flock can attend church in the way he
suggests. The plan has met approval
and has been put in operation.

ROOSEVELT LAUDs MISSIONS.
Pleads for United Efforts in Letter to
World Missionary Conference.

Enthusiasm was aroused at one of
the sessions of the world missionary
conferences held in Edinburgh by the
reading of a letter from Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt. in which he expressed
his sympathy with the world mission
movement. The letter, which was ad-
dressed to Silas McBee, an American
delegate, was in part as follows:

critic says by high-priced railroad

equity itswouiSi be inconsistent to
send high-priced railroad lawyers,
such as the Democratic nominee in
this district is, to Congress. to revise
the Interstate commerce laws and
those especially relating to railroad
rates. With him in Congress the
oracle could see a full realization OF

of their attorneys from regular post

their interests
The plan of nominating railroad
attorneys and sending them to Con-
gress is not calculated to result in
Legislation antagonistic to the rail-

a tendency to be corporation lob

Roosevelt Praises Taft.

Col Theodore Roosevelt loved
William II. Taft, when the latter was
a member of his official family. He
loved him so well that he was instru-
mental in making him his successor.
There is every reason to believe
both from utterance and act that Col.
Roosevelt has no less estimate of
William II. Taft as President and
loves him none the less, however
great has been the effort of Demo-
Gratis to make it appear that Col,
Roosevelt had withdrawn his support
of Mr.. Taft. The following is one
OF Roosevelt's latest utterances re-
garding Mr.. Taft and it does not
show that he does not have the
very highest estimate OF and regard
for the President;
Nor do l have to go only to the
statesmen of the past for precedents,
"The President of the United
States, Mr.. Taft, has served his coun-
try honorably and uprightly in many
positions-as Judge, as governor of
the Philippines, as secretary of war,
and now as President-for to him
and the Congress acting with him
we owe the creation OF tariff COM
mission, the adoption of maximum
and minimum tariff law treaties with
foreign powers, the proper treatment
of the Philippines under the tariff,
the increase in efficiency of the inter-
state commerce law, the beginning OF
a national legislative program pro-
,yiding for the exercise Of the taxing
power in connection with corpora
lions doing interstate business, a
postal savings bank bill, the eonsti-
tuition of commission to report
remedy for over-capitalization in
connection with the issue of stocks
and bonds; hut few of his services
are more deserving of record than
what he said in this very matter OF
criticism of the judiciary. Speaking
as a United States Judge, fifteen
years ago, he said:
1.-THE opportunity freely and pub
licly to crlticise judicial action is Of
vastly more Importance to the body
polite than the immunity of courts
and judges from unjust aspersions
and attack. Nothing tends more 20
render judges careful in their de-
cislons and anxiously solicitors to do
exact Justice than the consciousness
that every act OF theirs is to be sub
mitted to the intelligent scrutiny
and candid criticism Of their fellow
men.

Railroad Legislation.

Mention by the mouthpiece OF the
local Democratic ring, OF the rate
hearings now being held by the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
brings TO mind the tact that the Re-
publican party has accomplished a
great deal Of good work the last sew
eral years in formulating and pass
ing laws to regulate and curb com
mon carriers.
Among this beneficial legislation
may be noted the following:
An act concerning carriers en-
gagged in interstate commerce and
their employees, providing for medI-
alton and arbitration of disputes
between carriers and their employees
and preventing discrimination against
