Fines and Fines.

Years ago in Franklin, KY, the
farmers. coming in from the country.
used to insist on tying their teams to
the picket fence round the public
square. The horses nibbled the fenc-
ing and put the town to much expense.
So to break up the habit the town trus-
tees affixed u large placard to the fence
with the following warning inscribed
thereon: "Fine to Hitch Here"
Some weeks later German tobacco
buyer, making contracts for his gov
eminent, drove into Franklin from a
nearby town. He read the sign, but
nevertheless tied his horse to the fence.
A constable arrested him and took him
before magistrate, and he was as
sessed $40 and costs for violating a
town ordinance.

German as he paid over the amount.

Three Fools" was the subject of the address at the Y M c. A. meet ing Sunday afternoon by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church. The room was well filled with an earnest company of men. pr. Slocum began by saying that he would not attempt to discuss fools in general as that would be too large a subject; that the three to whom he wished to call especial attention would suffice, and that even in the case of these he would wish to say nothing about the first two, were 1t not for the peculiar interest centerihg in the third Continuing, the speak, among other things, said
 The first of our three fools was the one who said in his heart, No God. Someone has reminded us that 1t was the fools heart and not his head that said "No God"; for even fools head knew better than that.
 There are men today who are athe- lsts only in their hearts; practical atheists we might call them: men whose heads know that God exists and that the soul is immortal and yet who live as though this physical life IS the be-all and end-all. It is con- ceiVable that there are, now and then, people whose names are recorded on church books and whose professions of allegiance to Christ are known to the community and who nevertheless are actually atheists of this sort; for they are without God This is what the word literally means. By Theist we understand a, person who believes in God. When the Greeks brought out their alpha privative (which is our letter a) and put it up against that noble word Theist. they made athiest out of it. The original sig nif1cance therefore, of the term, Is person without God. We would prob ably be amazed if we could know how many people there are who are actu- ally without God, though they may be- ieve ever so much concerning Him.
 Not by Bread Alone.
 The second fool is the one Luke tells us about the man whom God call ed fool. When we call our fellow men fools, we may easily make mis- takes; but when God calls man fool, there must be some good reason for it. Now what was the trouble with this man? Was he a fool be- cause he was an atheist? There Is no evidence that he denied the existence of God Was he a fool because he was dishonest? There is no indication In the story that he ever defrauded his fellow men. Was he a fool because of his inability to make a living? On the contrary, he was an expert at mak- ing a living. He made so mun1ficent a living that he was actually puzzled at first to know what to Qo Wltn IT, Was he a fool because he raised such amazing crops? Surely his neighbOrs would commend him for his industry though they might be jealous of his remarkable success.
 Was he a fool for building bigger . barns? Assuredly not. He was the very personifcation of wisdom when he tore down his old shacks and erect ed capacious barns. Why then, did God call him a fool? Because he con- vinced himself that he could feed his

PASTOR SPEAKS UPON THREE FOOLS s"
Rev. Dr. J. B. SIocum Before Men at Y M C. A-The Atheist Is One The Self Satisfied Man Another-Paul Fool of Different Sort, According to Scripture
Addressing his im-

soul on wheat. Addressing his i'm mortal soul, he 1nsulted it by the as sumption that material things were sufficient for it's nurture. Here was his stupendous folly And 1t is just at this point that we need to take warning. In an age that is so strongly materiaHstic, we must be careful that we do not substitute corn for Christ. The body needs wholesome food, but the soul needs Christ; and any man who undertakes to live without christ is making the great mistake of the centuries Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
 The Right Kind of Fool.
 The third fool was one of the wisest men who ever lived in the tide of times He was no other than Paul, the great apostle of the Gentiles. Ad- dressing the Corinthians, this man wrote: "F'ools for Christ sake" In other words, willing to be insulted, despised, scoffed at, rediculed, stoned and ready to meet death itself if only the cause he represented might go forward That is the kind of a fool worth while. Probably Paul was hu4 man enough to recoil from the slam ders of his fellow men but he was so devoted to the cause Of his Lord, that the reproacheS that were unde- servedIy hurled upon him only served 
 people. caught in the evil currents of life, pointed at him the finger of scorn and hisSed out the word Fool" Paul only smiled a sad smile and replied: Yes, a fool for Christs sake" This is the only one of the three kinds which we have been considering that I recommend to you men. The first two will serve as a background for the last.
 pr. SIocum appealed to the men to be willing to accept the kind of ser vice that would make them com panions of Christ He closed with an interesting illustration of the danger of getting so closely knit up with the material affairs of this life as to lose ones hold on God A man living on the shores of Lake Chautauqua saw a fishhawk plunge from a great height down upon his prey. There was short battle between feathers and fins and the bird rose a thousand feet with a big muskellunge in his talOns. The man expected to see the bird fly straight away from that point to his nest upon the mountains brow but instead, the bird began to sink back towards the lake. Slowly at first and then more and more rapidly until at length he struck the water. The man got a boat and found the bird and the fish still locked together, and both dead The fish was too big and the claws of the bird were hopelessly locked. There is danger that we get our affections and interests so entan- gled with the things of this world that we will lose our grip on God and at the same time find our grip on ma terial things beyond our power to break.
 The men listened with great inter est to Dr. Slocum's message

TOWN OF GROTON
 CLAIMS DAMAGES OF $6,0oo
For What Drifting Barge Did to Bridge
 1t Lifted from Place.

The town of Groton has instituted a civil action against the James Me Williams Blue Line company Of New York claiming damages for injuries to the highway and trolley bridge be- tween the village of Mystic and the town of Stonington when, on Thanks giving day, a barge became fast under the bridge and as the tide rose the barge lifted the draw out of place and occasioned other damage.
 The action is based on the negli- gence of the defendants employees. Damages to the amount of S6,000 is sought
 The barge John Mccarthy has been attached by Sheriff Tubbs. lying at the wharf of the Groton & Stonington Street Railway company in Stoning- ton. The suit is returnable before the superior court the first Tuesday in January 1914.
 During the night of the 25th inst. the Mccarthy, which was coal laden. and moored at the trolley company s wharf, broke adrift and foated to the bridge, the tide being low at the time. Because of this condition the craft grounded on a sand bar beneath the draw. When the tide rose the barge was lifted against the bottom of the draw, raising it several inches. It is also alleged that girders were des- troyed, as were the planking, piers, abutments and overhang.
 Traffic over the bridge by trolley was interrupted for a couple of days.

 The court will come in on Monday here for the continuance of the trial of the case of the Imperial Curtain Schwartz. The company is suing on a claim for about $225 on a contract for a millinery advertisement on the theater curtain at the Auditorium The defense Is a claim of fraud in relation to the contract
 Tn the evidence it has been shown that an agent for the curtain company talked with MT. and Mrs Schwartz about the advertisement on the theater curtain at the rate of $2 per week for each season, and that Herman Schwartz signed the contract, but his wife stepped out to see her brother about 1t and was to put her name on it when she came back. When she re- turned she had decided not to sign At the request of MT. Schwartz, the agent, whose name was Sykes tore up a pa per in the sight of MT. Schwartz. which the latter supposed was the contract. But some time later someone told Mir. Schwartz that the advertisement was on the theater curtain. He then found the agent at a hotel, and the agent wrote a letter which he said would ad- just the matter with the company. MT. Schwartz wanted to see the letter. but the agent got it sealed up before he could look at it. Since then the company has made several offers by letter to compromise the contract which they claimed they held.

Rev. w. s. Tedford Tells of Mission ary Work and It's Need in India.

At the Sunday morning service in
 the Federated church Rev. Willard $.
 Tedford of Rayagadda, India, brother
 of Rev. A L. Tedford, the pastor of the church. gave an inspiring address
 on his missionary work in the far east and his words were listened to with much interest by the congregation. Rev. MT. TedfOrd said people some times wondered if missionary work in the far countries was really worth
 while, but the people in those far lands need the revelation of the Father just as much as we do. All armies have their leaders and the leader of the Christian army is God It is the duty of the leader to command and the duty of the soldiers to obey God commands us, "Go and preach the gospel to all the world" We all can not go to these far off lands but we all can remember the people of those lands and their teachers in our pray CTS. India which is under British rule is wonderfully governed. The entire country is ruled by one man who sits in an office in London. When he commands his influence is felt through out India. India is divided into prov inces which are ruled by a governor and his assistants. The provinces are each divided into districts which have their district leaders. These districts are in their turn divided into counties and the counties are divided into towns. There are 315 million people in that far off land of India which population is equal to that of the United States, Canada, England, Por- tugal, Spain, Norway and Sweden The government favors education and the people of India are anxious to be edu- cated. Schools and colleges have been built but there is still a, deficiency. Only a small number of those of school age are receiving an education. It Is here in the midst of these people that the missionaries are working and the work before the missionaries is tre- mendous, not trivial as many people think. The missionaries have built colleges seminaries and hospitals, but there is still need of aid in carrying o0 inc cyOOd work
