a Texas preacher, who had de-
cided to leave an unremunerative |
congregation, finding it impossible
to collect his salary, said in his fare
well sermon: have little more to
add, dear brethren, save this: you
are all in favor OF free salvation.

treated me proves that you have got

The Chicago professor who, some
time ago, told his students that in a
matter of three million years the hui
man race would be extinct, and the
earth dominated by birds, must now
acknowledge his theory knocked into
j cooked hat if he has been reading
| the accounts of how the birds disap-
pear as the Diplanes and monoplanes
become more numerous.
st. Paul, Mimi, proposes to have
its policemen taught primary ele-
ments of surgery and first aid to the
injured. This is a common sense
proposition. Think how convenient
it will be, when in need of the prompt
service of a doctor, to be enabled to

way place which the devil himself
could not find.
John L. Sullivan now understands
the love ballad Because You Were
an Old Sweetheart of Mine" John,
was recently married to a woman who
was his sweetheart during his school

The s-tfragettes of Turkey are
making drastic changes in the life of
harem, and Turkish women are
throwing off their wells. II the
ladies in question are reasonably well
favored, this move is to be applauded.
But if they resemble Cinderella's Sis
ters. well, the male Turkeys will
have to wear binders. The most
prominent leader of the militant fe-
males is one Halideh Salih, who is a
member of all the wOmen's clubs,
and the President is one of them, and
is also the only woman member of
two exclusive mems clubs-a press
club and a League for Public Safety.
1t must be very convenient to belong
to such large number of clubs when
one is attacked with parched feel
ing about the throat.

man who has an opinion and is not
afraid to express it in 4 newspaper

cation, and if you are afraid your
letters and name will be printed

told me, iourneyed from Grove, Ind.
to Phoenix. Arizona, and becoming
homesick after a few months ir
