Taken Place of Old.

St. Louis, July 22.-Rev. Louis Scott
De Burgh, pastor of the Windsor
Methodist Episcopal church.. declares
the following ten commandments of
place of those of Moses:
You can have as many gods as
yu want.
2-You can make for yourself one
craven image in likeness of the AL
mighty Dollar. You can bow down to
the god of greed for he is the lord thy
god, visiting the iniquity of the fortu-
nate who happen to have plenty upon
the unfortunate who happen to have
less, showing mercy only to the blind
parasites who love him.
3@You can take the name of the
Lord in vain, provided you wish to
hyperbolize in conversation with no
malicz aforesaid.
4-Remember the up to date Sab
bath. In it you shall get up at noon,
go to the ball game and visit variety
show in the evening for in six days
we are compelled to work for a living
and we need a good time on the Sab
bath.
5-Don't honor your father and
mother lest the old pair enjoy life too
6-Don't commit any premeditated
murders on the principle of temporary
insanity.
lookout you don't have to pay alimony.
S-You may reasonably steal any
thing within the law of the land, even
a railroad.

house and wife whether you are mar
ried or not), and everything that be-
longs to him. 81

GILMORE LOSES JOB.
PicIkpocI1ets Get Souvenir of Former
Denver Player.

San Francisco, July 22.-Grover= f.
Gilmore, outfielder, lost his job with
the San Francisco Coast League team
yesterday and coincidentally lost dia-
mond conferred fob bearing fac smile
of the signature of President Taft.
The latter loss affects him more, said
Gilmore, than the fact that he will
have to report back to the Buffalo club
of the International League. Pick
pockets robbed him of the fob on a
ferryboat yesterday. The fob was
given him last year when the Denver
club, with which he played, won the
Western League pennant.
