AS we stood facing each other 1 was

Perhaps her short outing skirt Of dark

cursions in the she had worn
the same or similar costumes. She
hesitated a moment, leaning against
the railing and tapping the floor with

ARMY WORMS NOT SOLDERING.
Clean Up Wheat and Alfalfa Fields
Say Farmers.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct. 21.-The
army worm is not soldering in the
wheat fields this year. Entire fields
in the vicinity of Leavenworth have
been totally destroyed by these worms
necessitating the farmers pIowing the
ground again and Resolving the
wheat.
Farmers report that this worm eats
the head and stalk from the wheat
and leaves the entire field bare. These
worms seem to skip two or three
fields and then light on one and COM
pletely devastate it.
Cold weather is the only thing that
farmers know of that will do away
with these pests and it will take a
bitterly cold snap, they say, to do this.
This section is not bothered so bad
ly with these worms as is western
Kansas where forty and fifty acre
wheat fields are being ploWed up
and the wheat Resolved.
Alfalfa is also bothered to some ex-
tent by these worms although the
hardness of this plant is a safeguard
against it's being totally demolished by
them as the wheat is.

TRIES DEATH IN FIRE.
Some One Found Jail Key, However,
and Rescued Peck

Galena, Kan, Oct. 21-For twenty
minutes. while citizens secured the
business district in search of an Off
Ger who possessed a key to the city
jail, George Peck. a prisoner lay on
a pile of smouldering clothing, which
he had ignited, presumably in an eff
fort to burn the Jail and end his life
in the flames
That the prisoners desire to perish
in the blaze would be realized before
the jail door could be opened, was the
belief of a large crowd of persons,
who stood about the place and watch
ed wreaths of smoke curl from be-
tween the bars of a window. Finally
Patrolman Tom Pahlam was located
and he hurried to the station, unlock
ed the door and dragged Peck from
his fiery bed. Peck was unconscious
when rescued.
Peck was arrested for intoxication
and peace disturbance.

He QUITS PULPIT
Former X. U. GridirOm Star Is
Now an Express Messenger.
Leaves Off Preaching Because
Pay Is Too Poor.
LABOR is UNIDENTIFIED
He Is Told When He Goes to
Work on Vacation
Third Chicago Minister to Leave
Church in Year.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Another Chica 90
minister-the third within three months
has resigned his pulpit because. he
port his family.
The three pastors who have sought
other lines of endeavor for this rea-
son are:
Rev. Henry NJ Mcdowell. Woodlavn
Park Congregational church, resigned
Sunday.
Rev. c. H. Haywood. wentworth
Avenue Baptist church, resigned July
Rev. W. F. Bostick, Western Avenue
Baptist church, resigned August 1.
Work Is ''Undignified.v
Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell declares he sought
manual labor during the summer holt
days; that his flock declared the work
undignified and therefore he quit.
Rev. Mr. Haywood and Rev. Mr..
Bostick both contemplated marriage
and said they could not support wives
on $1,000 and $1,000 a year respective
~ Rev Mr.. MeDowelPs salary was
$I'440 per annum, but he has wife
and five children to support.
From the pulpit Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell
stepped to the express car of a Rock
Island train, and he is now an ex-
pressman at SIS per week. He went to
work Monday, and in the employ of
the United States Express company
now makes four runs a day between
Chicago and Blue Island.
Feel of that ARM said the preach
er-expressman at his home.
Played Football at x. q.
Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell smiled as he
said it. for he was not a bit tired from
his hard labor. He had played on the
University of Kansas football team in
1900 and on that of the Oberlin Theo-
logical seminary in 1903.
Then he told his story and made
some comments on churches and church
people. Here are few of them:
I went to work instead of going to
Europe for a vacation. My people said
it was undignified. So I quit.
Preacher Follows People.
Instead of a parson-one who leads
the minister must follow his fiock's
whims and orders. I've been every
thing in church from a choirboy to a
pastor. Still they objected to my out
side manual labor.
The church at large is an honest
institution. The public is misled by
the mean few.
There are always few people who
get into the church to cover their mean
ness. To cover it well they get the
offices.
when a minister says his work is
done, it's because he has struck a snag. |
If a preacher could preach only the |
gospel to people who want only the |
gospel what a pleasure it would be.
You'd be surprised if you knew the /
number of pastors looking for other |

CONTROL The JUDICIARY
Roosevelt Says That People Should
Exercise 1t Cautiously.

New York, Oct. 21.-The judiciary Of
the United States must be brought
within the control and be made answer
able to the well thought out judgment
of the people, in the opinion of TheO-
dore Roosevelt, who spoke last night
on The Conservation of Womanhood
and Childhood before the Civic forum
This control, in Mr.. Roosevelt's judg-
ment, should be exercised more eau
tiously and in different fashion than
the control by the people over the leg
islator and the executive; but the con-
troll must be there.
Control of judges, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
was but half-although by far the more
important part-of program which
should be carried out for proper con-
servation of manhood, womanhood and
childhood. The first half of the pro-
gram he said, consisted in placing upon
the statute books of the nation ard
states. legislation to remedy existing
defects.
The former president spoke at length
of what he termed crying abuses con-
nected with child labor.
Mr. Roosevelt advocated enactment
by congress of the bill providing Tor
a bureau to be known as the children
bureau and to gather, classify and dis
subjects relating to the welfare of chill
dren. He urged working women to or

Frisco Agent Discovers Clever Makeup

Wichita. Kan, Oct. 21.-While
counting the money in the Frisco pas

f. Bascome, agent, discovered
strange silver dollar. 1T proved to be
trade dollar dated 1877. But, while
one side of the coin was in good con-
dition, the other had a curious bulge
outward.
Mr.. Bascome placed his finger on
the right spot and the reverse side of
the coin flew open like the lid of a
watch. Inside was the photograph Of
two young men. The locket was cum
ningly devised from two trade dollars.
The reverse side of one dollar had
been followed out just within the rim,
leaving only q shell, then a thin disc
was shaved from the reverse side edges
so that it would fit snugly into the
proper place of the followed out coin.
The workmanship on the lock is so

DENIES BIG WASTE RUMoR.
Pullman Company Says 1t Has Not
Lost $50 OOe, 900 by CareIessness.


Chicago, Ill, Oct. 21.-Charges that
the Pullman company has lost $35.-
900, 600 through waste, or worse, were
denied as unqualifiedly false by Off
Gals of the company, and also were
ridiculed by railroad officials in close
touch with the affairs of the corpora
ton. On the other hand, it was point
ed out the company's management has
been marked by economy and eff
cheney. and the appointment months
ago of Arthur p. Bowen as director of
purchases was another step in this di-
rection. Mr. Bowen, it was learned,
was not appointed to supervise the
purchase of materials as result of
the discovery of wastefu1 or improper
methods in buying supplies, but rather
in accordance with a plan formulated
by President Runnells and approved by
Robert T. Lincoln. former president.
Both agreed that it would be wise, as
a matter of business prudence, to cen
tralize authority in the matter of max
ing purchases in one department, and
for this reason the office now occu-
pied by Mr. Bowen was created.
In discussing the matter today, Pres
ident RunnelIs said: 1.-The intimation
that Mr.. Lincoln resigned because of
the existence of questionable methods
in the purchase of supplies for the
Pullman company is worthy of the
most vigorous denunciation.''
