SHELDON HAS A PLAN.
He Would Like to Publish New Kind
of Paper.

If DR.. Chas. NJ. Sheldon could ac-
complish everything he would like to
accomplish there would be an entire
" new newspaper published. At the
Bible institute at Washburn yesterday
afternoon he called attention to the
need for a big live newspaper with
modern methods and equipment that
would handle the religious news and
DEVELOPMENT of the entire world in as
big a way as the ordinary newspaper
handles the political and commercial
news The existing religious papers
are all right as far as they go, but
they aren't big enough to satisfy the
people, DR.. Sheldon said.
DR.. Sheldon was the moving factor
in the recent anti-bill board campaign.
although he didn't mention that in his
talk on "What Christianity Has Done
Up to Date" He said that people in
Maine, where he has just given series
of lectures, were discouraged with con-
ditions there. but that a failure of a
potato crop there didn't mean wheat
crop failure here.
Dr. Sheldon's talk on practical
IDEALS was given this afternoon.
Last nights lecture by DR.. Chas.
Burton Gulick of Harvard on 1.-The
Olympic Games" was illustrated by a
large collection of stereopticon views.
DR., Gulick was brought here by the
local branch of the Archaeological in
stitute.
This morning President Frank K.
Sanders continued his lectures on "Old
Testament Literature" by a discussion
of Proverbs and the Book of Job. DR..

she learned of their destination, or
whom they intended to visit in the
home town.
when the bitches were made for the
pipes of the local waterworks, she dug
the first shovelful of earth and was
photographed in the act-another sem
sation for the village. When the ma
chinery was installed at the power
house, Miss Shears, astonished the
workmen with her intelligent questions
as to boilers and other technical sub
jects. Her subsequent writeup of the
plant was a wonder of clear, concise
and interesting information.
In order to secure much of this
news she had to tramp through mud
and water. She adopted the sensible
short rainy day costume Again the
little town gasped in holy horror-at
first. Later all of the women saw the
practicability of the garment and grad
ually adopted the style.
1T wasn't long before every one
grabbed for the paper on which she
worked as soon as. it came from the
postoffice. People complained of her
'roasts'-but they read them. 1t was
true that she was rather severe in her
criticisms. She one time called the
town dead slow because a good show
was not well attended. Her comments
on the timely topics were sarcastic, al
most biting. Yet, at heart she was
the kindest, although none but very
few ever knew of the good she was
constantly doing among the poor or un-
fortunate.
In short time her work secured a
position on city daily. What became
of her? Oh like many others, she gave
up career for a man."
