Preaching Bul's" Philosophy.

There is a character in The Shepherd of
the Hills, the dramatization of Harold Bell
Wright's novel, which comes to the audi
torium this afternoon and evening, called
"Preachin' Bill" Despite the roughness
of his character, he has brand of philoso-
ply that IN its way is quite equal to that
Of David Harum. Some of his sayings are !:
Some fellers can do mighty big things
IN a burned little way
Every hound has his strong points, but
some has more of EN-.
There is a band of fellowship in sorrow
that knows no convcntionalities.
God lmighty fixed it somehow so tn
bride and varmints don't make no mistake,
but left hit plumb easy for men and women
T. make burned fools of themselves.
Hits good fer feller t be down in the
back onet in a while, if hit warn't for that
we'd git to standm' so burned proud and
straight we'd go plumb over backwards.
In his face was the look of one who had
done fought his fight to the finish and wal
toe dead beat t even be glad it war over.

VIR UALLY ALL
CABINET
Men In Official Family Nearly
All of Same Age-Fifty-
five Years.


~ HE Distinguishing features of
the new Wilson cabinet are that
= practically all the members are
progressive, that few of them
have had extended experience in fed

young men.
Their average age is exactly fifty
years, and none of them varies more
than three or four years from this av-
erage. The oldest is Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld. ffty-four; next to him
Secretary of State Bryan, who is fifty
three; the youngest is Secretary of Ag-
riculture Houston, who is fOrty-seven:
one is fifty-One. two are fifty, two are
fOrty-nine and two forty-eight. Presi-
dent Wilson is older than any of his
cabinet, but by only two years. He is
but six years older than the average
and nine years older than the young
est. 1t is seldom in our history that
men so closely punched in their ages
have served together in the presidents
official family.
Three of the members are lawyers
and three more have been admitted to
the bar, but have not been in active
practice for some years. Two are edi
! tors. one n railroad president, one q
jurist, one an educator, one a manu-
facturer and one coal miner ana
