DON'T WANT TO BE AN ANGEL

! don't want to be an angel
Way up in the great big blue
| don't want to go to heaven,
Mamma, darlin' wifi out you!
Are the streets all big and shiny,
And the houses shiny too?
Mamma, I'd be awful frightened
If went there wifi out you.
Have they any baby angels?
Are there Papa angels, too?
Cause if I'm a baby angel
I'll be lonely without you.
Cause little baby angel
Might get lost, alone up there.
Do you think the other angels
If they heard me cry, would care?

I'll jes' tell you what I'll do;
If you'll be the Mamma angel
Then I'll be an angel too.

GREAT RELIGIOUS
MOVEMENT Opens
Most important Campaign To Bring
People Into The Churches Is
Nationwide.

Silver Bay, n. Y, Aug 22-Leaders
of the Religious Forward Movement,
the most important religious under
taking to be attempted in North |
America for a generation, met today
to compete plans for the unique inter-
national campaign as to greatly re-
duce the proportion of the population
now entirely unconnected with any
church. 1t is estimated that sixty per
cent of the people of the United
States have. no religious affiliation,
and that fully half of the nations pop
ulation seldom, if ever, set foot inside
church. Although exact figures are
unavailable, it is the belief of experts
that not more than ten per cent Of the
people of the United States are free
thinkers, atheists or agnostics and
actively opposed to Christianity. This
leaves half of the entire population to
be numbered among the Indifferent
who, while nominally Christians, are
not members of any church and who
contribute nothing to the support or
extension of the religion they AFFECT
to accept.
Mental stagnation.
1t is not militant unbelief that is
most to be feared, say the leaders In
the movement, but the mental stag
nation of those who neither believe
nor disbelieve, but who pay no atten
ton to religion except on the rare oc-
casions of funerals or marriages
Agnosticism, while gaining ground in
the universities and among the profes'
sional classes, is declared to have lit
tie influence on the masses, who are
merely Indifferent. 1t is to arouse
these 100000 people that the pres
ent movement has been inaugurated
This work, it is declared, is vitality
necessary at this time, since the pres
ent reign of indifference to religion
cannot long prevail. The awakening
must come soon, say those in charge
:, of the movement and the Christian
forces may lose their opportunity l
they wait too long. Should anothe
:, leader like Ingersoll arise now, 1t Il
declared, the religious history o
France and Japan might be repeate
!. in this country and the United State
become a nation in which free though
=, and unbelief were triumphant.
The work of the conferences in tn
various cities will be directed chief
toward reaching men and boys an
-. bringing them into the churche
-, Christianity is rapidly becoming,
: this country, a women's religion, 1t
Ialsaid, and the male population is b

RYAN GETS UNCUT DIAMONDS.

Thomas F. Ryan. 1t is the first retura
he has received from a concession of
100000 square miles granted him III
1906 by King Leopold in exchange for
a loan of $1,5OO,OOO. The diamonds
are the initial harvest from new field
recently discovered by the Ryan enei-
neers on the property. Later the en-
gineers hope to develop profits from
gold, silver and copper mines, ana
from the forest of rubber trees.
At the time when Mr.. Ryan became a
partner of King Leopold the latter was
credited with making a move of great
political astuteness, 1t was agreed
that affiliation with the American
financier would prove the strongest
deterrent to English or French eager
ness for Intervention and division of

towers, with the venerable square of
the Grey Friars, with old houses and
quiet places in the midst of the

available, between four of these old

Herr Hoffman,, the municipal archi-
tect, made a virtue of necessity by
varying the height and turning the
axes of the wings accordingly. He
kept as far as outward appearances
go, two points in view. First, the
building was to contain about 1000
office rooms of moderate size; second,
it was on all sides adjoining very
narrow streets. The somber and pow

strong and monumental is the impress
sion produced everywhere. The roof
is pretty steep and out of it a steeple
rises to remarkable height. This
steeple is quite, original in conception.
1t is round, surrounded by columns
through two stories and crowned with
an egg-shaped helmet. Very graceful

Meyer Never Would Have Confessed.
DENVER, December 2-Charles Fl.
/ Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, who with William
( d. Haywood and John A. Pettibone,
was arrested in connection with the
murder Of former Governor Steunen-
berg FIVE years ago, declared today
| that the confession of the McNamaras
/ furnished capital with a club which II
would not be slow to use against or
ganized labor.
For that reason, no matter no v
guilty ] might have been, l never
would have confessed" declared Moy-
er. The observation-disclosures
case bears many points of similarity
to the Mcnamara case. The arrests
were made largely on evidence fur
nished in what purported to be con
fession of Harry Orchard. Orchard
was the chief witness for the state as
McManigal would have been against
the McNamaras. In both cases charges
were made that the prisoners were
/ kidnapped into the jurisdiction of the
courts desiring them. and in this case
the cry of capital VS.. faOor' was
raised.
Haywood and PettiDone were acquit-
ed, while the case against Meyer was
dropped Orchard is now serving a
life sentence in the Idaho prison.
"T am greatly surprised; I can hard
ly tell what I think" continued Meyer,
But this much is certain: the Mona
maras have given enemies of organ
lied labor q club which they will not
be slow to use.
''Is it a political measure? If it was
it will not result in the defeat Of Har-
riman for mayor of Los Angeles. 1t
may decrease his majority, but the So.
cialists will elect him nevertheless"
The Western Federation of Miners is
said to have raised the larger part Of
the Mcnamara defense fund.
