A New Style in Black Shoes

Tanners manufacturing chrome wax calf report q decided Increase in the demand for this leather. It Is their opinion that this can be accounted for by the fact that those people who pay s6 and up for their shoes want some thing different from a gun metal that is now being worn so extensively.
 This leather gives them a shoe that is out of the ordinary and at the same time serviceable and neat appearing.

ROWING SYSTEM AT PENNSYLVANIA
 MAY BE CHANGED

The annual meeting of the Athletic as sociation, which was held at Houston hall Monday, December 9, has thrown new light on the future of rowing at Penn sylvania. It is probable that a big shape up will occur, with the possible result that a new coach will be employed in the near future. A change of this character will undoubtedly draw out many candidates who otherwise would not report.
 The proposed shake up, 1t is calculated, will instlll new life into the sport, so that Pennsylvania may not be forced to swal- low three bitted pills annually at Poughkeepsie.

and the fielding and pitching strength. A little added speed would make them a really great machine. If Chance manages the Reds. they also are greatly to be feared. Tinker also would make them a good leader. He would add playing strength 10 the team, and he is smart ball player who would instll the team
 with the idea of playing together, a mat ter in which it has been lacking. The Giants should certainly show increased strength. Tesreau is now a seasoned pitcher and Demaree appears to be a com ing star. The youngsters who held down the bench have had the benefit of experi- enee in big league tactics. and it would not be surprising to see some of them break into the game.
 It is said that Jake Daubert will be the highest priced player on the Brooklyn club next season. Jake, for his fine work last season, has been rewarded with q good raise in salary, and, according to those who know the great first sacker, will be drawing S5OO0 for the next three years with the Brooklyn club. He deserves it.
 
 T do not believe vhat there will be another ball player like Lajoie of the Cleveland club" said Hal Chase, when talking about great ball players the other day. Larry sure is wonder Taking everything into consideration, he IS the greatest ball player that ever lived. 1 know that he is just as dangerous at the bat as any other of the great players We have in baseball He is an easy going Larry, with a fine disposition, and he is one who does not make any trouble. He has always been the same. I have seen him make some of the most difficult plays around second base look so easy that the majorities of the fans were under the impression that it was an easy chance. It is the way he has of gliding after all sorts of grounders th lat makes it look as if the play was an easy one. But the ball players know different. There are many second sackers who could not get to the same kind of plays. At the bat, we all know what he can do. He has come near killing third basemen with balls that have been hit down that way. Pitchers trust to luck when they let the ball go when Larry Is at the bat. He will never be forgotten as one of the great men of the game when his days are over in baseball"

by PROF. THEODORE KAPPETEIN
1t is an indisputable fact that religion
has pasta past which Is as old as that
of humanity itself. For when our first
knowledge of man is connected with fire,
Through the use Of which homo sspiens
began to rise above the mere animal
stage, this knowledge Of fire takes US
back to the first sacred altar Of religious
cult In the world. Even today the eter-
nal burning lamp in Catholic churches
tells of the sacred fire which the virgins
of Yesta guarded, of the sacrifices OF
Abel, Of the burning thorn bush Of Moses
from which the voice Of Jehovah called
for his services, and of the fires on
Mount Carmel which the false priests
built in honor of Baal. The planting OF
the first seed in spring was religious
act. the yer sacrum. the first born OF
cattle and men belonged to the gods,
and even today divine services are held
In the churches to thank for bountiful
harvest.
All the great festivals of Israel are
connected with nature. Art also is a
daughter of religion. 'srhe ornaments
with which the savage adorns his body .
says Bouffet, "the lines with which he
tattooes himself have religious signsfi.
cance,! they are the original amulets.
The oldest dances are religious dances
Israel dances around the golden calf and
: King David danced in honor of the Lord
And with the religious dances came the
first musical instruments. Harps, Gym.
balls, flutes and zithars accompanied the
fiIst prophets Of Israel. Sculpture Fipens

with the desire to form hfelike images
of the gods. The old architects built
tombs, pyramids, obelisks and temples.
The basis Of all law Is the idea Of q
just divinity acting as q Supreme Judge.
The oath in court invokes the name Of
God as guarantee Of the truth Of the
testimony Of q witness. The venerable
science OF astronomy. with it's phantastic

Of the stars,
Religion Is Heaven and Earth, but 1t

by bloody and nerciless religious wars,
autodafees, inquisition and torture, by
the seif-denials Of the ascetes and monks
and by the haughtiness OF the priests
who put their foot on the neck Of the

something which Is great by Its own

from Haeckel over Hartmann to Eucken,
but no matter how 1t manifests itself,
whether as rationalism, which declares
unity to bs an imperative demand Of
reason, or as the thought Of laws of
nature or in any other form, Y will never
rule alone, because dualism will always
be there to dispute It's claims.
Then comes the second question: Dare
we as modern men, as disciples of Les
sing. imagine one single Individual per-
sonality as the center OF the whole MS
tory of humanity? The making into
god Of any being born by man, In Chris
tianity and other religions, we understand
as cult of a hero, but we DO not rec
ognize it as the foundation of church
In any religion but our own.
Christ belongs, according to his own
words not in the gospel Of Gods fatnerly
love, but that does not do away with the
Importance of the Nazarene as sympoi
and az an example. The soul always
builds itself body and thus Christ will
continue to be adorned as symbol ana
the most striking example of his own
religious teachings, just as Moses and
Buddha, Mohammed and Confucius are
venerated But the prophet must never
transform himself into god. even wheh
his head touches the stars and the
Christian mysticism, which adores Christ
as a God, always stands in need of sober
ing criticism Of the myth of Christ, which
even draws his existence into doubt. We
need religious prophets to strengthen and
build up our religious life, just as we
need leaders in all other things to whom
we may look, but the thought Of Christ
as the center Of all the world or all
humanity is a dream which has outlasted
its effect

mons and open spaces In the neighbor-
hood of Londonl
The issue Of this committees report was
followed by the foundation Of the Com
mons Preservation society, and this was
the turning point In a great national
movement. 1t Is interesting to note that
among the earliest members were such
men as John Stuart Mill. Lord Mount
Temple, Prof. Huxley. Thomas Hughes;
Edward North Buxton and Baron Pol
lock-
The society soon found itself face to
face with a Homeric struggle The
Statute Of Merton was exhumed from the
dusty recesses OF the statute book on be-
half of the lords of the manors. and the
work of enclosure was begun in all direc-
tions. The society organized everywhere
the strongest legal opposition to these
encroachments and case after case was
fought out at slow length in the court
frequently after the commoners had
taken matters iunto their own hands and
pulled down the yexatious palisades.
The objects Of the society were. in the
first place. the repeal Of the obnoxious
Statute Of Merton. and In the second. TO
have all commons In England and Wales
placed under schemes OF regulation. Az
ter success In costly and protracted litl-
CATION the first Of these objects has been
virtually achieved. Success in the second
has still to come. But the record Of the
society IL already full OF brilliant tri-
amph. To Its efforts are due both the
conservation Of countless open spaces
which the people enjoy without much
thought Of the battle waged on behalf Of
public rights and public expediency, and
the growth of that new opinion, which.
without opposition, now regards the pres
ervation Of commons and open spaces
and rights-of-way as an important item
in. the general character Of public free
dom.
Lord Eversiey's book is very welcome In
it's revised edition. The historical survey
Of the question is very good and clear.
The personal note lends an added interest
to the story of this struggle. The reader
understands and sympathizes with the
brave work of the. society, which has

While Caspsf practically ID the center
Of tho Wyoming oil operations II II not
the only producing spot In tho state OIL
fields are found In nearly every portion
Of the state. Probably next to Casper as
an oil center Is Douglas. Here there Ii q
great opportunity for development, much
Of the country not producing what It
could because OF tho tinlidity Of capital
In going into the section. During the last
twelve years there have been various
wells drilled In the field. with the object
OF locating the oil bearing strata At
the present time there are i've wells
producing oil, and six wells producing
gas These are all shallow wells, ranging
In depth from sss feet to eS0 feet.
Gas wells are situated over a
range of four miles over the
field, and the depth Of the gas
sand Is very uniform over the territory.
The production In these gas wells has
been very steady. the gas has been used
for drilling purposes, heating. cooking
and lighting the drilling camps. ana also
supplied to various ranches situated In
the field.
The oil from three Of these wells has .
gravity OF A.s5 degrees. The production
Is from ten to thirty barrels q day from
each we'll. Two wells produce lubricating
oils similar to the Shannon wells on Salt
Creek and the amount Of production Ii
probably much the same az some Of those
in that field. s&
The Douglas oil field extends also south
of the town. and the oil indications In
that direction are very promising. Some
years ago well was drilled at the mouth
of La Bonte creek, which produced
quantity of gas. This was cased off and
drilling was continued to depth Of Lloo
feet through black shaie. At that depth
sand was struck. with light oil and an
arteslan flow of water. The hole was too
small, which prevented drilling deeper,
and the we'll was abandoned. The we'll
proved, however, the existence OF light
oil and gas in that district. This well
is about eight miles south Of the town
Of Douglas and only one mile from the
railroad.
Near Lander the Wyopo OIL company
has struck some wells having an
asphalting base. The fields are south
and northwest from Lander. Further
northwest wells are producing In the
Shoshone Indian reservation.
In all eighteen oil field are known In
Wyoming and several more will be found
II prospected for. In each Of these fields
oil is found In springs or there are thick
banks Of oil sands exposed. Many of the
lands are lying idle because Of the lack
Of railroads for transporting the oil.
Some day In the progress Of the times
transportation facilities will be secuted
in these sections and Wyoming will pro-
duce enough oil to supply the world.

mysterious and complicated of all prob
lens, though all founders of religions
have tried to simplify and explain their
theories. Religion is the struggle OF
every new period in the history Of hui
manity toward conception and idea OF
life. and that Is why 1t will only die out
on earth with the last human being.
But what Is to be the future OF re-
ligion7
To deal with the multitude Of religions
is impossible within the limits OF an
article and to prophesy Is useless but
there are currents which point towards
the most likely course OF the religion
which interests our intellectual sphere
most--the Christian religion.
When a notion finds itself and organ
ICES itself politically, we get the state.
When 1t finds itself and organizes re-
ligiously we have the church. This means
that both are subject to the law Of eyolu-
ton; that they are dependent on outside
events. We are living at time when
traditional Christian religion Is about to
change into the yet unknown religion Of
the future. which Is to give 1t new life
and soul. Free Christianity Is gathering
all her strength to submit to this trans
formation. In four directions its evolu-
ton must follow certain paths. The idea
Of personal divinity as we have 1t in
the Jewish and Christian creeds must
merge into moaism. The pious alteration
Of Christ as the Savior must come to an
understanding with historical philosophy.
Christian ethics are In conflict with our
material interest and with the virtues Of
bravery and justice whieh rule the strug-
gle for existence. Common cult is en-
dangered by present individualistic ten

Monism is no concrete Idea. 1t ranges
