In my country during the last few
years, he said, very few men have at

er the cause. I have come to The conclu-
sion that it is because of the insanity of
the religious ideas set forth in the pull
pit, under the guise of orthodox Christian
ity.
There are thousands of people in the
South whose religion is torture and vet
they are afraid to give it up. They car
ny every day in their suffering souls a
slavish fear. One woman in Chattanooga
killed her infant to save him from hell.
Another friend Of mine lost her reason. over
this very question and died in an insane
asylum. II we could have carried our
hopeful message to her, IL doubtless would
have saved her

SUMMER BEDS.
Light Wool and italian Silk Blankets
Most Desirable for Cool Nights.


While the beds in the summer home
should be rurally simple and give an
impression of Responsiveness, no ex-
pensc should be spared in any detail
that affects the comfort of the sleep
ers. Only the best of mattresses
should be considered. and failure to
provide sheets of ample length and
width is a serious shortcoming on the
part Of the housekeeper There are
lovely summer blankets of wool no
heavier than a cotton sheet. and rtal-
ian silk blankets are also desirable
for Use on cool nights. Spreads for
informal beds should be unpretentious
coverings of practical material Fitted
covers of lowered cretonne are always
pretty, and French dimities. which
are much lighter than marseiiles. are
also servieeahle. Old fashioned quilts
are desirable in country homes of the
informal sort audtsthe oid-time blue
and white coverlets made by Ken
tuekv mounRinesss are quite the thing
for the mountain camp or bungalow.
A certain freshness is lost when colors
are chosen for bed coverings. yet their
use is very common. Austrian spreads
in delicate pinks and blues or rich
ecru, or India cottons with quaint
palm or crescent patterns with PRINT
ed borders. make attractive covers.--N.

A PIPE LINE INQUIRY
Is Ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Washington. July 14-An investigation
of pipe lines. their rates, classifcations
and regulations, was ordered today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Infor-
NAL complaints have been made to the
commission that certain pipe lines are
being operated in an unlawful manner
and TO the prejudice of the interests of
oil shippers.
No date has been fixed for the begin
ming OF the inquiry. but already the COM
mission through its agents has acquired
considerable information relating to the
operation of the lines.
Pipe lines as common carriers are sub
5ect 10 the provisions of the interstate
commerce act. 1t is alleged that the
rates of many Of them are unduly pref
erential to certain shippers and in direct
violation of the law.
On its own initiative, therefore, the
commission has instituted an exhaustive
investigation into the rates and operations
of 81 corporations which transport oil by
pipe lines. 1t is expected the inquiry
will continue for several months.

AN INTERESTING Narrative
BY HON. JOHN F. CHURCH
Giving a Splendid Description of His
Trip to Panama and the Work
Being Done There.

Before going back to the ship
we had a heavy rain and we an
chored at a cabin on the shore of
one of the islands, where a man
had hog ranch. The hogs
were fed from the bananas that
were condemned, as not being in
shape to stand the long voyage
in shipping. While here we
went into the jungle short dis
tance and heard what my friend
said was the cry of a monkey
and baboon, but we did not see
them: however, saw four wild
parrots, at these | shot, but the
aim was bad.
At about twelve o'clock the
second day we started on our re-
turn to Colon, and at Bocas del
Toro we anchored and the Pres
ident and his cabinet were again
our passengers. Arriving at
