tage of all human nature. Whence
did he get the strength and the cour-
age for these great tolls, for these
gigantic exertions? The source of
Father Cody's energy. the source of
Father Codys strength, is not from
earth, Is not from time is not from
things that pass away. The strength
came to him as he knelt daily in
prayer before the altar. The strength
came to him every morning as he
stood at Gods altar and ate the
bread, in the strength of which
he walked UP into the mountain of
Cod
ut is that spirit of prayer and that
spirit of union with God which dur
ing all these years has been so char
acteristie of him, that has been the
source from which he drew the
strength to be a successful fisher of
men,. A holy, jealous life such as
the one we have been honoring is a
great gift of God to diocese. To
treat such a life as ordinary would
argue great moral dulness and an
inability to see what passes for great
ness in the world and for what is
called great in the kingdom of God.

Star Theatre-"The Two Merchants

Star Theatfe-"The Two Merchants"
Competition is the life of trade in
rural communities as we'll as larger
states, but in the small towns busi-
ness in competition is often fraught
with many petty jealousies and rival
ry. Merchants are aften at dagger's
points with each other, will hardly
speak, and in a trade will often take
advantage of each other; but let an
outsider put in his appearance and
the whole village, rivals and all
hands, are against the Philistine.
Ebenezer Burke and jeremiah
Briggs are in the same line of bust
ness in the small city of Bedford
Julia Burke has become fascinated
with travelling salesman and she
receives court from him against her
fathers wishes. They plan an elope-
ment but their plan is frustrated by
Briggs, who asserts that it is his
business to protect her even if he is
her fathers rival.
While out driving with his family,
Briggs sees the salesman waiting in
a secluded spot with a buggy. Be-
coming suspicious at once, he stops
and watches him. He soon sees Julia
coming with suitcase and his sus-
picions are confirmed. Jumping out
of his carriage, he rushes over to the
buggy and seizes the girl The sales
man attempts to interfere but Briggs
thrusts him aside and Julia is taken
back home in the Briggs equipage,
dissolved in tears.
Burke is wild with rage at this
interference on the part of his rival
and he decides that the meddlesome
! old codger has gone too far entirely.
Early next morning Burke is at his
store, waiting for the appearance of
Briggs. When he arrives the climax
is reached. Into the back yard of
Briggs store they go and fight it out
in true country style. Both wind
ed they realize that they are a
couple of old fools and a reconcilia-
tion takes place. They join hands
and fight the appearance of a new
store.
The several characters drawn in
this are delightful and true to ma
ture, and no doubt will be appreci-
ated by all who are acquainted with
life in our smaller country towns.

.RABD DOG AT MEDFORD
Boston Terrier Owned by Mrs. Bob
FftzsimmOns Brings Disease
From Portland.

Mail Tribune: A Boston terrier
belonging to Mrs. Bob Fitzsimmons,
wife of the pugilist, who is filling a
theatrical engagement here, was
killed Friday by DR.. ]. L. Helms, city
veterinarian, after observation had
convinced him that it was afflicted
with rabies.
The animal, which was highly
pedigreed and a valuable animal,
was brought down with the troupe
from Portland Wednesday. Thursday
it began swapping at people and
showing other suspicious symptoms.
DR.. Helms was called, confined the
dog, found it suffering from rabies
and killed it.
This is the first case of rabies in
southern Oregon. The dog had
been kept in the rear of one of the
hotels and so far as known had not
bitten any other animal. The infec-
tion probably occurred in Portland
where two men died this week from
rabies and several dogs have been
found afflicted.
Mayor Eifert at once ordered that
all dogs in the city be kept muzzled
or tied up at home, as it is not
known whether the affected animal
bit other dogs or not.

TOO LATE

The day will come when you will
look back from the edge of the grave
to the beginning, years ago, and
wish that you could have those years
again.
The day will come when you will
long for the hours that are wasting
today-the hours you are "passing"
and wish that you had the chance
to do what you should have done
years ago and sigh for the wasted op-
portunities.
You will then realize what substan-
tial bank account you might now have
If you had even put few dollars
into the bank each week. But it
will then be too late. Let this be
your lesson. You will find it more
profitable than vain regretting. All
you need is a dollar to start your
bank account.
Don't wait another day. One dollar
will start you.

In view of the fact that it is easy
for the disease to be carried from

it would be wiser to order all dogs

sorry.
