Where They Go.

The Governor of Pennsylvania was
once a professional pitcher. A famous
fielder on Anson's team is now succeed
ing conspicuously as the Rev. William
Sunday, revilalst. A. G. Spalding failed
in his attempt to get into the United
States Senate, but he and George Wright
acquired fame in business after they left

tics, where he did none too well. Many
leading players become owners or man.

education is worth as much as it is sup

those of 20 or 30 years ago Johnny Ward
used to have his college origin held up as
something exceptional, and now things
have changed so much that Connie Mack

course, now as always, must pass into
obscurity, and some into poverty and
hardship, but that fate is only what be-

for some other kind of work, or take his
place upon the toboggan. A few, to be

Suppose the Governor Read III

We understand that Governor Plais-
ted says he is hearing of no Demo
cratic opposition to his rum session
plan. In that case we would recon-
mend to his reading the following

Bible $50 Years Old Baked in a Loaf
of Bread.

In letter recently received in
Yonkers. n. Y. is a leaf from the
diary of Mrs, Mary A. Moody. who. al
most so years ago, was a devout
church woman in Cincinnati, o. The
extract reads
February IS, 1862: | wish to note
here short account of an old Bible.
the finding of which in Lucas county.
Ohio, has excited a great deal of
curiosity, being more than $50 years
old, and having been baked in a loaf
of bread
"The Bible belongs to Mr. Schebolt.
a member of the United Brethren
church, who lives near the Maumee
river. He is a native of Bohemia.
The baked Bible originally was the
property of his grandfather. who was
faithful Protestant when such a pro-
fession cost something.
"All of the peasants in the commune
ity in which he lived were ordered to
give up their Bibles, and officers of the
crown were sent through the town to
see that the Protestant Bibles were
| taken out of the possession of their
owners.
"Mr. Schebolt's grandmother know
ing that the officers were coming, con-
cealed the present volume in batch
of dough, then ready for the oven. and
baked it. The house was carefully
searched, but no Bible was found, and
when the officers departed the precious
book was taken uninjured from the
loaf.
1.-THE relic is now considered quite
valuable. and is kept with religious
lveneration."-Spring Republican.

For some weeks il seems Bath booz-

the special election in September. This
Legislature has no mandate to do any
thing more about the States liquor
policy. The only way to carry out the
will of the people on this liquor issue
is TO make it the issue on which the
next Legislature is elected. In the
State campaign next summer try to
persuade the people to elect a Legis-
lature that will resubmit again.
More important than any kind of
liquor law is government by public
opinion
If Governor Plaisted calls the extra
session, he does it not as the spokes-
man of the people but as the defer
of public opinion plainly expressed.
Especially Inbecoming, when you re-
call that one of the leading charges
against the opponents of resubmission
was that they were not willing to trust
the people.
Trust the people, Governor Plaisted.
Let's stick to government by public
opinion.

Are You Thankful Enough?

How many of us have ever paused
to consider the fact that the brunt of
the battle in great moral issues and in
world wide reform movements is borne
BY women? AS in the modern home
where everything revolves around the
bright and shining star of wifehood
and motherhood, SO 1t has been down
through the generations, and will con-
tinue on into all the ages with I'M
diminished splendor. At the same
time the field of woman's activities is
ever broadening, while even today she
is leading every social and civic work
for the betterment and uplift of hui
mainly.
In the fight against the dread tuber-
culosis, women are at the head of the
advancing columns of education, sani-
tation, prevention. They are provid-
ing the means for practical meeting of
the various phases of the warfare on
ignorance, carelessness, animal-like
acceptance of a believed be in
evitable fate, and natural habits of
filth.
Have you noticed what some of the
women of Augusta, Gardiner and Hal
lowell are doing now? Well. they are
engineering and pushing a plan to es-
tablish a genuine, tangible force for
lighting the white plague" They
propose to head this force with
trained tuberculosis nurse, who will
visit, advise, educate and in a measure
care for those within her zone who are
afflicted. They propose to establish
suitable quarters for free clinics, ex-
anime possible cases and advise, in
dividually, all those in fear of the dis
ease.
If you ask how these women, and
those who are glad to be associated
with them, expect to pay for all these
things, we would answer that it is a
very simple plan and offers opportun-
Ivy lot every one 10 snare. Your
share may be small or large as you
choose
II you have no one afflicted with this
dread disease. thank God every day
therefor, and offer your mite for the
aid of those less fortunate. In this
glad season of Thanksgiving and
Christmas cheer, let us remember
those who feel the sting of poverty
and the dull horror of the grim hand
upon them or their relatives.
In the homes of the poor it is oft
times impossible to isolate the dear
one suffering from this terrible dis
ease, and those not afflicted, in their
devotion to the sick one. go loading
their systems with death.
Can we not help them to bear theil
burden, or, at least, teach them how
best to carry it and how not to spread
it among those dear TO them?
How much would it cost you to spent
only one week in a sanatorium, i
you had a fear Of the disease in you
system? How much more gloriou
would this old world look to you OIL
assurance that you were free! The

thanksgiving, offer that few dollars, t
