SAFES IN BIG HOTELS.

thing | suppose should have left the
package where it was for another
three years" she said to the clerk.
YES" said the clerk in answer to a
question after the woman left. shat
packet had really been in our safe for
three years. Why, we have all sorts
of valuable papers, jewelry and even
money that are intrusted to our keep
ing for years at a time. People seem
to prefer a hotel safe to safety de-
posit vault. One reason perhaps Is that
1t costs nothing. Another is that the
standard of hotel clerks has improved.
ut is astonishing the amount Of jew

$1,000 bills in an envelope. wrote his
name on the latter and asked me to
put II in the safe. Not long ago an
other man actually did the same thing
with seven $4,000 bills"
The clerks of several other hotels
talked in a similar strain without any
outside suggestion.
"Pll bet | have handled more than
million dollars worth of jewelry to-
day." said one. Look here" and he
opened the safe and piled six or eight
big jewelry cases on the counter. but

Very DepIOrable Affair.

Paducah, KY, March 7.-As the
result of DIR. M. E. DOdd pastor of
the large and fashionable First Bap-
tist church, drawing the line on di-
vorced persons singing in the choir,
he was given. severe beating yes
erday morning by Charles Graham,
a prominent tobacco broker and for
several years prizer Of The Dark To-
bacco association.
The affair occurred at Sixth and
jefferson scTeets while Dr. Dodd was
on his way to Sunday school with a
Bible under each arm. He was
knocked down by blows on the face,
which disfigured him, and a nib ON
his left side was broken.
His Bibles were trampled in the
dirt. Graham surrendered himself
to Magistrae Charles Emery and
gave bond for his appearance next
Thursday.
During a recent revival DR.. DOdd
called for volunteers 10 sing in the
chior. Mrs. Graham, who was di-
vorced before she married her PRES
ent husband, sent her name.
DIR. Dodd informed her that, ac-
cording to his Interpretation of the
scriptures, she was not spiritually di-
vorced from her first husband Con-
sequently he could not permit her
to sing.
Graham met him yesterday morn-
ing and demanded an apology. There
upon he struck DR.. Dodd tn Ghe
face knocking him down. Dr. DOdd
offered no resistance, being encum-
bered with books.
He returned home, but afterwards
filled his pulpit, though his face
showed marks of the encounter. The

choir was dismissed from the regu-
lar church service. The church

PRAYER For All LAWYERS.

o Lord, Thou art the eternal order
of the Universe. Our human laws at
best are but an approximation to Thy
immutable laws, and if our institutions
are to indure, they must rest on just
ice, for only justice rests on Thee.
We beseech Thee for the men who
are set to make and interpret the laws
of our great nation. Grant to all law
yers a deep consciousness that they are
called of God to see justice done, and
that they prostitute holy duty fever
they connive in the defeat of just
ice. Fill them with high determi-
nation to make the law-court of our
land a strong fortress of defense for
the poor and weak, and never a castle
of oppression for the hard and strong.
Save them from surrendering the dear
bought safeguards of the people for
which our fathers fought and suffere l..
Rather revive in them the spirit of the
great liberators of the past that they
may cleanse our law of the ancient
wrongs that still cling to it. Let not
the web of obsolete precedents veil
their moral vision; but grant them a
penetrating eye for the rights and
wrongs of to-day, and quick hu-
man sympathy with the life and suf-
ferings of the people. May they nev-
er perpetuate the tangles of the law
for the profits of their profession. but

HOPES TO SEE WOMEN VOTE.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Will you please

Patsy? | thought | would write
again, as my other letter was printed.
We are having some very cool morn
lngs in this part of the country
have four sisters and six brothers,
and we children have been blessed by
not having lost a single member of
the family. My mother and father
are both living and | must say that
| am very proud of them. Cousins,
we ought surely to be proud of our
parents, for when the Death Angel
visits our family and takes them
away from us we will not have any
one to cheer our aching hearts.
Daddy Jim, | am certainly with Mr..
Watson on Foreign Missions, for we
have people here in our community
who are too stingy to eat enough
themselves. [ am poor girl, but
| am willing to divide what | have
with those poorer than myself. If
there is anything on earth that | do
hate to come in contact with, it is
a stingy person. | believe in boys
and girls having an equal amount of
education. Some people say that
girls can go through this world
without an education better than a
boy. I don't see it this way I hope
to see the day when the women will
vote and hold the highest offices in
the land. On the other hand, young
man of today has not much of a show
if he hasn't an education, and it is
growing more so every year. 1 have
not much education myself, but if |
were to meet person who had none
at all, l would be willing to divide
mine with him. | know l could not
do that, but I would feel sorry for
them and would do it. Well, | guess
you Cousins are wondering who l am
and what kind of thing it is that
wrote this affair, so 1 will take my
leave.-"A Lady Friend" Jackson,

Religious Emancipation
Concluded from Page Five.)

Baptists want to come, why, let them
come along; and if they think they
can show us how it is, why, let them
do it. We want the truth. The Coun-
Gil will be open to all; free speech
and a warm old time, such as you
never see where a few manipulatOrs
manage things. Other folks are well
come, of course, but both the Asso-
citation and the Council will be Bap-
fist meetings.
1t will cost something, to be sure,
but what Is little money compared
to religious liberty ? And if you are
not willing to make some sacrifices
to maintain liberty and truth, then
think you that you deserve either?
That is condition of which despot-
isms take advantages; while the
masses sleep over their rights, the
designers steal them away, and one
fine day they wake up slaves. There
never has been meeting like this in
the South. 1t means to sound the
alarm for liberty. We mean to ring
the Baptist liberty bell and publish
a declaration of independence. We
want young men to come, and women,
too-everybody Churches send their
pastors. Laymen, business men,
teachers, doctors, lawyers-all sorts
and siZes-cOme. See your railroad
agent and ask about rates and routes.
They will be instructed as soon as
rates are given.
When evils are organized the only
way to combat them successfully is
by counter organization. individuals
cannot cope with corporations. We
want united action. Drop card to
