gin with Genesis and go far as
Kings. I hope a good many will have
friends who will like to begin at the
beginning of the Bible and do what
they can toward studying it through.
BY your own words make people know
they do not need a special invitation
to Join this Bible class. Any one may
come who will fill the requirements.
However 1 would take special pleas
ure in extending such an invitation if
I knew where to do it. Opening meet
ing will be on the last Tuesday in
September. Glass always begins on the
first Tuesday in October.

One of the great pictures of litera-
ture is this of the ten brothers before
Joseph. supplicating him for food. The
careful system of espionage which pre-
vailed in Egypt. and still exists in
some Oriental lands, had brought news
to the government of this detachment
of ten men from the region toward
which Egypt was ever looking for an
enemy. Joseph had them brought be-
fore him in person. The ten shepherds
clad in their o-mels' hair cloaks, pros
trated themselves on the ground before
this great ruler even as it is done to-
day. They did not recognize their
brother Joseph for the youth of eigh-
teen had become the man of thirty
eight; the twenty years had wrought
changes in his face, as well as in his
fortune. Besides he wore the head
dress of a ruler and was clothed in
the garments of State
1t was from this episode that Pres
ident Wilson drew the figure of speech
which he used in his inaugural ad-
dress: The feelings with which we
face this new age of life and opportu-
nifty sweep across our heartstrings

New York, Feb. @-The Sportsmen's q
Show, one of the big annual event.
here. will be held at Madison Square
Garden from February q to March 5.
One of the big features OF the show
this year will be the trap-shooting
tournament. which will be conducted by
Luther ]. Sduier. of Pittsburg. In addi-
ton to the regular contest there will be
several special and team shoots. together
with an intercity contest between Fhiln-
delphia and New York. Many OF the
best marksmen in the world will compete
in the individual shoots. Among these is
Fred Gilbert, Of Spirit Lake. MINI.
The rules Of the trap-shooting will be
altered a little from those of last year.
with the idea of getting to the con-
clusion more speedily. Shooters in the
qualifying rounds who break 46 targets
or more. will be eligible to shoot at fifty
targets in the semi-final round. The ten
highest scorers in the semi-final will be
the competitors in the final round at 100
shots.
The Garden will be so lighted that a
daylight effect will be produced. That
this can be done was demonstrated last
year by the high scores made in the
tournament.
Interest in the show by manufacturers
of explosive and loading arms is in
creasing from year to year. The old
exhibitors among the manufacturers
have applied for more space than usual
and a number of firms that have not
exhibited heretofore have made reQuisi-
tions for space.

EMPIRE CAMPAIGN
TO START MAY !
New Officers cted-Enthusiastic
Meeting Is Held at
Brunswick.

Brunswick, Feb. 22-AI doubt as to the
success of the Empire State League was
dispelled at an enthusiastic meeting held
in Brunswick yesterday when new off,
GERS were elected. the date of the open
ing Of the season changed from May L.
to May !, and various other matters dis
posed Of
Representatives from practically all of
the cities composing the league were
present. and they each assured the or
ganization that they were ready to per-
feet organization, in fact in two or three
cities work has already progressed to
such an extent that a manager and
many players have been signed.
The designations of President James
Sinclair and Secretary c. Fort Andrews
We're accepted and the following new Of
ficers were elected: President. c. c..
Vaughn, Brunswick; vice president, Os-
car Groover, Thomasville: secretary and
treasurer, L. ]. Leavy, jr., Brunswick
The secretary was instructed to make

rell, of .the National Association, for
franchises for the six cities and each club
will at once put 800 in the treasury to

ing of, the season.
While the schedule was not adopted

I Of a secretary. most of all the secre-
tary to \ President. And Il not only
injuries the secretary, but the President
as well. As hes been shown in the past.
few errors OF Judgment on the part
of secretary In dealing with the big
men who call at the White House can
not only embarrass the administration.
but render the secretary useless for fur
ther services.
The life of a private secretary to a
President of the United States is far
from bed of roses. 1t is work-hard
work. The secretary must work at all
hours, sometimes day and night; he
must be constantly at the call Of his
'.chief'' to handle important matters
which demand immediate attention.
There is little or no social life. In re-
turn he gets 5000 a year in salary and
an automobile, which is furnished by the
government, and a position In the politi-
cal and official life of Washington which
is looked up to by every one.
Reward Lies in Future.
There is perhaps a further reward. The
secretaryship usually leads to fame and
fortune. Take, for instance, the men
who have held the position under the
last few administrations. David s. La
mont. private secretary to President
Cleveland, and who established the repu-
tation of being the best Presidential sec
retary In years. became a financial power.
George B. Cortelyou, with a dozen offers
to choose from. became president of the
Consolidated Gas Company, of New York.
with a salary anywhere from $4,000 to
100000 a year. William Loeb, jr., who
was appointed Collector of Customs at
the port of New York, after ending his
service as private secretary to former
President Roosevelt, lately has become
connected with the biggest smelling cor
poration in the world. and is In full
charge of its administrative affairs.
Mr.. Tumulty is a youth compared with
some of his predecessors. but Is by no
means a youth in experience. Born in
Jersey City. ne was educated in the
parochial schools and colleges of his ma
tive State, studied law and was admitted
to the bar in 1909. He hung UP his shin
gle and entered politics. and in a short
time was elected to the New Jersey Leg
islature, where he served for four years,
entering the ranks of the Progressives
at the start and fighting for reform meas
ures right off the bat Gov. Wilson
formed a deep affection for him. and
asked him to become his private secre-
tary- Mr.. Tumulty, then prosperous
lawyer In Jersey City, gave up his law
practice and went with the Governor. He
filed the difficult position more than sat
He made no errors of judg-
ment. and when ticklish propositions
came up buckled down to work and came
with his coIors flying.
He has a. reputation as jokesmith
that reaches beyond the boundaries of
the ''skeeter' State, and is one of the
best public speakers in New Jersey. He
is much sought after as an after-dinner
speaker and is wanted at all kinds of
rallies, but he does not go in much for
the social swing. He is above all, do
mestic In his tastes, and whenever he
has chance runs off home and spends

ficers and lively times are promised to
begin with her coming.
Many of the visitors at anti-su6ra9e
headquarters gave as an excuse Of their
visit that they have heard 30 much, seen
so much. and read so much about woman
suffrage lately that their nerves were
ciamoring for change. Some Of them.
especially the men. left the "antis' :"
Offices with all their pockets filled with
literature. and radiant smiles upon their
faces.
P1an Last Attacks.
Anti-sufrrage badges were received to-
day. and more than fve hundred Of
them We're sold. In the course Of few
days, the antis promise people viii be
able to see for themselves how few
women are desirous of equal suffrage by
noting the number wearing anti-suffrage
colors and badges as opposed 70 those
who will be displaying the suffrage
colors
The "antis'' have also secured their
first supply Of posters. and within the
next week they will be contending with
the suffraststs for the honor Of having
covered the city most thoroughly. Both
organizations intend that the chance
inaugural visitor shall be thoroughly i'm
pressed that something is happening In
the Capital besides a mere inaugufation
of the first Democratic President in six
teen years.
Realizing that the unexpected attack
uf the nntis must he met by redoubled
exertions on their part. the suffrasists
have planned to hold big mass meeting
on Sunday at the Brighton ard = still
bigger one at the National Rifles
Armory on Monday to keep the enthu-
siasr. they have created from subsiding
before the strenuous attack Of their op-
ponents. They have also decided to
make the entrance OF Gen. Rosalie Jones
and hrr band of valiant nIarchers the
occasion OF special celebration. Gen.
Jones will be banaueted. probably at
Rauscher's, on the day Of her arrival
and IN impressive ceremonial In being
planne1 for her reception at the out
skirts of II. city. In this way the suf-
frasists hope to turn the attention "
the public away from .he opposition.
The college boys are taking up the
equal suffrage problem with great Sc
riousness. Georgetown students have lis
tened to arguments Of the suffragists.
and to-day several of them called at
anti-susrrags headquarters and request
ed that posters be sen. out to them.
They also purchased large amount Of
the ants literature to circulate among
their friends.
SuTragists and anti suffraSists promise
to improve the next few days to the full
extent, and expect that the FIRST visitor
