God your Father, and your purpose to
love and obey Him; with the Bible as

Holy Spirit in your life; and you dedi-
cate yourself to the service Of your

Field Artillery were visitors in the
post on Sunday last. having come
down to make-a call on friends in the
hospital. An amusing incident n
which Mrs. Apples handsome collie
figured almost exclusively occurred
during their visit. The dog had been

count in the near vicinity Almost
directly across the street from the

building and proceed so to do. He
had gained the upper floor and had
wandered out on tii3 gallery that
runs around the front and sides of
the quarters when he espied Captain
Apple. who had emerged from the
hospital directly across the street.
With joy and little ye:ps to indicate
the same. the dog went by the most
direct line to join his master. That
line led the eager beast over the sec
ond story railing with a 20-feot jump
TO the ground.
Disaster seemed imminent for the
laffectionate animal: but, al he clear

HER BORE ExPELLER

Miss Isabella Gunderman was an all

didn't have to prove this. for she ad-

Monroe Corners.
Miss Gunderman had q good many
ideas Of her own. She had strong con-

that she preferred. In Miss Isabella
Gunderman's house, in the .parlor,
there was a large. old-fashioned hair
sofa. Every night when she was at
home she occupied one corner of it,

pet theories was that he and Miss Isa-

held views of a somewhat different ma

'But I don't want to practice on

fearfully dangerous experiment"
'Well, then, why not have our meals

Are We Free?
But while this independence has
brought us a large population and a

the freedom which we think we have?
Are we really free? In a great many

The speaker first reviewed the events
which led up TO the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence. saying
in part:
IT'S often said that this is the
day Of the young man. that in the older
days the older men ruled. But do you
know the man who drew the declara-
ton of independence? Every school
boy knows. But do you know that
that man, Thomas Jefferson. was but
33 years of age at that time? And that
Edward Rutledge who sat beside him
in the congress was but rs
THAT committee reported on the

congress OF that sitting say that it

But the weather was very hot and near
the hall was a stable, from which
large swarms OF flies came into the
hall. In those days the delegates wore
knee breaches and long stockings. and
these swarns OF flies pestered the men
so. alighting on their legs and biting
through their thin silk stockings that
they were driven almost TO distrac-

Unrest in Labor World.
Turn to another phase OF the mat
ter. We all recall those terrible times
a couple of years ago when the men
in the cotton and wooden mills in Law
renee. Mass, were having trouble with
their employers.
THAT state of affairs with its re-
sulting bloodshed. loss of employment
for months and financial loss by the
mills will long be remembered. Some
thing of the same sort has taken place
in Michigan, West Virginia and now
in Colorado.
ITO think of the millions of dollars
lost by these copper miners and own
ers alike, though the latter are bet
ter able to afford their loss, and then
TO have fresh in our minds those
terrible times in Colorado where
scores of lives were lost and homes
destroyed; where hearts were embit-
tered and warfare ragged for months.
The true facts of all the trouble
will doubtless be shown us when some
proper Investigations are made but at
least we know that the clock of civ
ilizatfon was turned back many years
in that section and that things were
done which savored of savages rather
than of human beings. And yet we
have these troubles often between la
Dor and capital and there seems to
be no sign of their discontinuance.
Needless Loss of Life.
And yet another binding chain
about us is the enormous and unnec-
essary loss of life in this free country
in factory and mine. Hundreds. yes
thousands of men, women and children
are lost to us every year. OF course
we do what seems to us the best we
can do but il is not nearly enough.
Our laws are nothing to what they
should be for the proper protection
OF the workers. Society needs these
people as useful members of its body,
to help il build up this land and yet
they are denied sufficient protection.
And how are we governed today?
Is there freedom in our government?
In larger way. yes. But who can
pick up paper without reading
