DEMONS ARE STILL ON JOB
SAYS SATAN IS ON EARTH IN
COMMAND OF BIG BATTALION.
Demons Are Fitting About the Uni
verse, and One Will Stop Inside of
You If You Don't Watch.

CHICAGO.-Hell, satan and de-
mons in general are on earth all the
time and are always on the job, &C
cording to Evangelist Calvin Swim
gle. In an address to the Chicago
class of the International Bible stu
dents he contended that nothing was
said in the Bible about satan spend
ing only half his time walking up
and down the EARTH" and devoting
the other half to getting pitchforks
hot and ordering new supplies of
fuel. He deduced from this that the
idea of eternal torment is based prin-
cipaIly on heather philosophy and
death-bed visions" No! Satan is
here and now, in command of his
big battalions, and is making good.
The demons that brought about the
flood in Noahs time are still fitting
about the universe. They're after
you all the time, and if you don't
take care one of them will slip in
side of you and then
These same little demons crept in
to peoples souls before the flood
and made them so bad the waters
came and wiped the wicked off the
earth. At the present time they are
trying to make everybody so bad that
the world will be wiped away by
"fire and whilrwinds and earth
quakes."

BRONWOOD -PARROTT GAME
A GOOD-NATURED BUT HARD
FOUGHT DIAMOND BATTLE.
Both Teams Went Into the Fray
Anxious to Win, and With Par
rOtt Band Making Music.

BRONWOOD, Ga.-A large and
enthusiastic crowd witnessed the
Brentwood and Parrot teams tie up
in an exciting game of baseball on
the latters diamond Wednesday af-
ternoon
Both teams went into the fray
anxious to win and with the PARROT
band playing some lively music. Ev-
erybody settled down, confident that
treat was in store for all who love
the national pastime. Brentwood
was first at bat, and Pinkston, pitch
ing for PARROT, was a bit nervous,
allowing two hits, which coupled
with an error Melted the visitors
two runs. Parrot tied the score in
the fifth, and things livened up a
bit. The sixth passed without dam
age to either side, and, then the
lucky seventh rolled around. The
first man up for Parrot took one in
the ribs for a pass to first; a nifty
bingle put him on second; next man
grounded to short, who threw late
to third, allowing the bases to be
filled. Then came two costly errors,
giving the locals two tallies. The
other outs were easy.

j. Brown and A. o. Blalock have

the controversy, but is busy toting his
own skillet. He is spending the
wind-up of the campaign in North
Georgia, and if confidence counts for
anything he will certainly connect.
Mr.. Price is insisting on the fact
that he is nothing but a plain farm

STEAM WITHOUT FIRE.
Electricity May Take the Place of
Ordinary Fuel.

Electricity May Take the Place of
Ordinary Fuel.
That a tubular steam boiler may
be operated without any fire, the
water in each tube being heated by
an electric element contained within
the tube itself, has now been simply
demonstrated. Expense will proba-
bly, prevent the use of such boilers
for motive power, but there are
conditions in which they will be val
liable. They are in use, for instance,
for generating steam for heating
trains drawn by electric engines.
One might think that it would be
more economical to use the electric
current directly for the heating, and
so it would where electric power is
to be used to operate the train
throughout it's course. In many
cases, however, an electric engine is
used only within the city limits or
within a definite zone. and steam
must be used for heating after it is
uncoupled. Here, therefore, the
electrically heated steam boilers
come usefully into play. Says a
writer:
THE boilers are cylindrical, YER
teal and tubular. In each case is
a heating element consisting of a
tube, within which are fixed resist
ances formed of a nucleus of stea-
tite around which is rolled metal
lie wire of special composition and
very refractory.
The boilers already built contain
las tubes four and one-half feet
and two inches in diameter. They
can furnish about 100 pounds Of
steam per hour at a pressure of fif-
teen pounds to the square centime-
ter. The heating element, consisting
of tube, each connected with indie
pendent switches to control the pro-
duction of the steam.
THE system just described has
been applied on electric locomotives
to produce the steam pressure to
heat the train. The results have
been satisfactory"

Parrot team sprung a surprise on

the game be called on account of
darkness-which did not prevail, by
the way-and the umpire refused to
call the game. By this time some of
the PARROT players were speeding
in autos toward town and the man
agement was unable to marshal his
recruits into fighting array, so the
game had to be called with an anx-
ious crowd of spectators and more
anxious visiting team wanting to see
it through. The game was marked
by the exceptionally good spirit that
prevailed among the rooters for the
the two teams as we'll as among the
players
The Bronwood boys feel confident
that they would have won had the
game been played out. Dunn, Amer
icus' crack shortstop and second
baseman, was first at bat in the
eighth for Brentwood, and had hit
safe every time up in the game ex-
cept once After him came Monehan
of the same team, followed by the
best batters on. the visitors club.
In a game a few days ago in Bron-
wood PARROT was in the lead in the
seventh and wished to call the game.
Brownood refused to agree, and
made six runs in the eighth and
ninth innings, winning the game.
The visitors claim the victory to the
tune of 9 to 0, inasmuch as the UNI

CAN'T STAND PLAIN PEOPLE
ONE OF THOSE FUNNY THINGS
SEEN OCCASIONALLY.
Panied at Having to Brush Against
Common Folk. just Look Where

Mr.. |. Townsend Burden, Jr., is a
sample Of forced cultivation. He is
so panied at having to brush against
the common people in Newport and
Bar Harbor that he is going to Cali
fornia and build a home in an iso-
lated and exclusive locality. He
says it is no use trying to hide the
fact that people of fashion have no
proper place in which to live in
America. People who have money
and money is easily made-are not
necessarily fit associates for cultivat-
ed people" This line of talk gave
the Newporters and Bar Harborites
jolt They had come to regard
their places as the creme de la
creme of exclusiYeness. The Wander
bits, Morgans, Harrisons and the
balance Of the 400" live there and
when hotel people and tradespeople
explained that these places were so
exclusive that strangers could no
longer find a home in them they
thought they were all right
Mr.. Burden got that feeling of
eXclusiveness all scrambled again.
Some of them have begun to look up
Mr., Burdens family tree, and look
ing they no longer wonder. 1t has
been two generations sinces the Bur-
dens wore overalls. Grandpa Burden
invented a machine for making the
lowly horseshoe, which also made
grandpa rich and the grandson ex-
culsive. Papa Burden was quite a
swell, with sixty pairs of shoes at
one time and a suit for every day of
the Newport season.
No wonder the younger Burden
thinks money comes easy, for he got
100000 with his bride last year.
She was the daughter of Dennis
Sheedy, who swung d pick ~ the
California gold mines in the SOS.
Mr. Burden has doubtless had the
Sheedy millions carefully Numbered.
