the banking and currency committee with

but has placed them under dollhouse

The Fire Motor Street Peril.

Relative to the danger from the lately

Known as Bull Moose.
Charles A. Lindbergh, republican OF
Little Falls
Lindbergh classes himself as repub-
lican. but he is usually known as bull
moose. For years up in the sixth district
of Minnesota he saw and heard things
politically that displeased him. After
they had stayed in his mind long enough
to tester, he would go out and hire hall
and tell about it to his friends. These
were not political speeches that he made.
He wasn't a candidate for any thing.
He was just a plain American citi-
zen. full of plain, rude thought. Now
and then he had to let some of that
thought escape or burst. So that in 1906
q delegation OF his friends came to him.
Charley said they. we're going to
run you for Congress-"

AT y o'clock Wen be back to get your
answer. And it might as well be yes,
because it won't make any difference to
us If you say no. Well run you, any
way"
Under the circumstances Lindbergh
ran. He made a speech in almost every
hamlet in twelve counties, and carried
eleven counties.

BIBLE AND EVOLUTION.
Topic Discussed Before Washington

1.-THE Bible VS.. the Evolution Theory
was the subject of an address delivered
by Evangelist H. Clay Rockwell before
the Washington Temple Congregation at

noon. The speaker declared that man did
not evolve from an ape, and that the
Bible in numerous instances declares that
he did not-in fact, that he was created
perfect being
since the days of the first man, Adam.
Mr.. Rockwell declared. man. instead of
evolving and becoming more perfect
being. has been descending in the phys
teal scale, and at the present time,
instead of living for over 900 years. as did
Adam. he has to be content with a very
short earthly existence in comparison
with that allowed those of the early
