WHO WANTS SISSY" MAN
Since Bishop Hendrix Would Drive
Him From the Church Whittier
viii He Flee7

Bishop f. r. Hendrix, In a church
council at Kansas City, asked why the
church was not reaching more men.
"Is It because we are adapting our
work more to the women?" he de-
manded.
Another prominent clergyman. Rev.
s. NJ. Neel, M. D., opined that was
somewhere near the reason. we
want no more sissy men in the pull
pit" he declared A SISSY" man, In
this definition, is one who adapts his
preaching and his teaching and his
general conduct OF parish AFFAIRS more
to the women-bless them-than to
the men.
DR.. Neel is heartily applauded by
a large number of his pulpit brethren
and the spirit of the times in the
church, as mentioned in such enter
prises as the Men and Religion For
ward Movement" seems to emphasize
what he says-the call and need for
the strong, virile man in the pulpit
who appeals to the man In the pew
and In the street, for making the
gospel a mans appeal, not, Of course,
depreciating the indispensable value
OF the women.
That is all very well, but where,
may we Isk, is the typically sissy
man wanted? What calling or busi-
ness needs him? Business and other
professions besides the ministry can
pea him M better than can the
church. Omaha Bee.

CAUSE OF DlscoNrENr.

The poor man. or the man moderate
ly we'll to do. who makes the few
rood books OF small collection the
companions OF his home, and who
hangs upon the wall a few pictures
having IN them for him and his fam
fly meaning, beauty and an inspir'
alton, is richer by far than the vulgar
captain who crowds magnificent IL
brary with unread books and the un'
appreciated works OF painters and
sculptors. Moreover. It is not easy
today to tell the rich mans child from
the poor mans child: they wear the
same kind OF clothes. attend the same
schools. enjoy the same harmless lux
uries. and In all essential particulars
live upon terms OF equality. says the
Seattle Post.Intelligencer. And so
far as necessary material comforts are
concerned. the poor mans home Is not
different from the rich mans home.
What then. is the reason for the per.
vasive discomfort OF the hour? The
reason is TO be found In false sentl-
ments and false opinions made possl'
BILE because the poor have been fool
ish enough. In a moment OF passion
and prejudice. TO become jealous OF
the vulgar ostentation and unbridled
extravagance OF the foolish rich.

Proctor, Pa.-To have been knock

cat which he had shot, and then
violently and dangerously attacked by
the wounded animal, was the terrible
experience OF Peter Shugro In the Oc-
donia woods the other night. Though
showing cowardice to the extent Of
running away when his master was
brought to the necessity Of doing per-
sonal combat with the infuriated
wildcat, yet the sagacity OF Shugros
coon dog lent itself to securing the
help which he so badly needed in or
der to reach home.
In the very thickest part of the ra-
vine the dog began a furious "tongu-

twenty feet or more above ground.
Shugro could hear the unmistakable
sounds of scraping claws in the first
limbs of the old tree, and he was
quite sure that he could distinguish
the black heap or form which he took
to be the raccoon. The dog went
fairly wild with excitement.
Shugro finally concluded to chance
a shot, and the moment the rife
cracked there was a yeowl that Shug-
ro recognized as that Of member of
the cat tribe. And the next instant
the animal. whatever 1t was, came
flying through space and landed
squarely upon Shugro's head and
shoulders. The weight of the thing

Germ of Measles Discovered.

DR.. John F. Anderson and DR.. Joseph
Goldberg, OF the Public Health Service at
Washington, have succeeded in inoculat-
ing monkeys with measles, something
said to be hitherto unknown, and in the
course of their researches have made dis
coveries which promise to make the NAL
ady less general. The investigators found
that measles are not carried, as has been
supposed, by the dry particles of skin
which brush off the body OF patient,
but that the germs are conveyed in the
breath and secretions from the nose and
mouth and in the blood. The germ was
found to be so minute that It passed
through the pores Of porcelain filter.
The inability of scientists to inoculate
lower animals with measles has retarded
the work Of discovering an antItoxin.
The investigators will make known the
results of their work at the fifteenth con-
gress of hygiene and demography Sep
