this section countless creameries and
cheese factories, and it is impossible to
picture the grand future of our dairy
ing interests. If all the cows in our
state could be put into one COW she
could Craze Off the equator, while with
her tail she could swish the icicles Off
the north pole; and, if all our hogs
were turned into one hog he could dig
the Panama canal with one grunt and
three roots.

| TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 17.-Helen
Hollinsworth, daughter of Methodist
preacher. once prominent in that state,
was recently taken by Eugene B. Debs,
socialist leader, into his home from the
| city Jail. Debs at the time publicly an
nounced that he had opened his home to
the girl and that she must be received by
| friends of his family as one of his chill
| dren and issued what he called his chal-
| lenge to the Christianity of Terre Haute.
| The girl had eloped with the son of a
prominent family and was married. The
Young man divorced her, took her child
| away from her and recently she was ar
| rested on the streets. She had been three
DAVIS in iail when Debs took her into his
| home.
I'm reply to criticism, Debs said, "let
Terre Haute ask, What would Christ
do?'"
| Mr.. Debs' action has aroused strong
controversy.
| Mr.. DebS says:
There is but one thing remarkable
about opening our home to an unfor-
tunate Young woman, and that is that
any one should consider it remarkable.
"The sisters of the streets but reflect

and hypocrisy of the society which pro-
duce them.
1.-THE sinful woman is as a rule not a
wicked woman, but a sick and suffering
woman Instead of being prosecuted,
maltreated, preyed upon and driven 10
destruction, she needs care and kindness,
sympathy and love, and that is what
Christ gave her in the fullest measure,
| and what the church cruelty denies her
as it did in His day.

"BIG TIM" SULLIVAN RETURNS.
Representative Appears to Have I'm
proved Health by Trip Abroad.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Representative
Timothy D. Sullivan, whose ill health has
removed him from his former activities
in state and national politics. has re-
turned from a trip abroad, apparently in
better health. 1t was said, however, that
the fine coat of tan and fifteen pounds in
weight which he had added rather belied
his actual condition, and it would be
still some time before he was back in
the political arena. He said he planned
to spend the summer in Connecticut and
hoped to be able to enter politics to some
extent in November.
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
granted big Tim permission to quit
the steamer at quarantine, and a host Of
his friends and relatives. including State
Senator c. D. Sullivan. went down the
bay to meet the steamship. The task of
descending the heights from the liners
deck to that Of the tug appeared to be
SO prodigious to the representative how
ever. that he elected to remain on board
the steamer until it locked at Hoboken
The tug followed in the steamers wake
and Mr.. Sullivan's reception took place
on land.

Old Songs.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Though the oldest piece of English
music In existence, Summer is iclmen
in is quite modern in comparison with
a score of the "Orestes' of Euripides
dating from the fourth century B. G.
which was exhibited at the international
exhibition of music at Vienna some years
ago. Even more ancient is the chant
1.-The Blessing of the Priest" which was
sung in the Temple OF Jerusalem before
the captivity. and is still In use in the
Jewish synagogues in Spain and Portu-
gal.
Home. Sweet Home"-the song of !,
homeless American-once moved Roherr
Louis Stevenson to an outburst Of nas-
sionate protest. But 1t was the m1sic
rather than the words that reused his In.
dignation. You will find the passage in
Across the Plains I have no idaa
whether musically this air Is to be con-
sidered good or bad: but it belongs to that
class of art which may best be de-
scribed as a brutal assault upon the feel
ings. Pathos must be relieved by dignity
of treatment. II you wallow naked In
the pathetic. like the author of Home.
Sweet Home you make your hearers
weep in an unmanly fashion, and even
yet while they are moved they despise
themselves and hate the occasion of

ABSORBING ARMY TACTICS.
Collegians at Training at Gettysburg
Are Learning Rapidlv.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. July 1.-THE col
lege and university students who are
here for a siX-week training in army tao
tics under Maj. McRae and dozen army
officers, participated in their first field
maneuvers yesterday. when the first day $
fight of the battle of Gettysburg was re-
produced on a small scale in mimic war
fare in which the students were divided
into opposing advance guards and fired
round after round of blank cartridges.
A progressive scheme Of military in
struction is being followed with the
students, who are nearing the close of
their second week here. Starting with
the preliminary Of patrol, the collegians
were gradually advanced until the present
stage was reached. and from now on
many problems will be worked out in
conjunction with the regular army de-
tachments.
The young men are rapidly becoming
expert horsemen. taking hurdles with the
skill of trained cavalrymen and riding
caissons over the rough old Emmitsburg
pike without a quaver Rifle practice
and map making take up a portion Of
the time, and from reveille to taps the
boys are given hard work.
