Horrible English Words.

One can easily add to Victor Hugo's
list of horrible English words. Gen
teel." for instance. is an adjective
that sets the teeth on edge, and Sc
lect" (used as an adiective) is an
other word that only a second rate
person would select. Emerge" and
''transpire" are both repulsive to use
and any breakfast is always spoiled

VOICES WHICH TELL
OF IMMORTALITY
Another Powerful Sermon by Evangel.
list Gray-Man's Supreme Desire
Is to Live Forever.

The Methodist church was filed last
eve ming with an apprecitive audience,
which listened to Rev. Samuel Ora
Gray in another of his powerful ser
mon lectures. DIR. Gray spoke on
Heaven and Immortality, or some rea-
sors why We may expect a future life.
There are many voices which teach i'm
mortality. The voice Of experience
many a man and woman today have
had distinct glimpse Of the land be-
yOtId, rs they We're about to cross TO
tho other side; the voice of reason
il is not reasonable to expect that God
would make man with all his posi-
bilities only to destroy him in the
end the voice of justice--the vast
amount Of injustice in the world sug
gets that there must he come future
country where Justice viii be imposed.
Who suffers most from the injustice in
the world! 1t is usually the innocent
WHO suffer most; the voice of the deep
est note Of human conscience, the voice
Of man i desire--there Is not an hon
est, normal desire in the heart of man
Which cannot be satisfied.
Man was made with ears and de-
sire to. hear, and God satisfies his de-
size by making the birds to sing. the
minds murmer the brook TO make sweet
mtrmur, and the brook to make sweet
music as it ripples down between the
10 ks. Man was made with ewes to
see and God made nature beautiful te
Satisfv his desire. Man was also made
with sense Of taste and desire &c
eat and God placed the cattle on the
Iii and the seeds in the soil that he
might CRAFTY that desire. God placed
the wool the sheep and the cottor
in the fields in order that man might
satisfy his desire 10 be clothed. What
Is man i greatest desire? II is 70 live
on and on forvcr. God would not sat
is.y all of man 5 other desires ant
leave his supreme desire unsatisficd.
Whether or not we viii ever affair
heaven depends on the kind Of life W,
are living here. There is many a mar
VINO if he got to heaven would be mis-
cradle there. for he would be entirel,
out Of his element. If we wish to reacl
heaven we must begin 10 make heave,
here on earth. We must live lives o
service to others, and keep our char
acters clean and pure. Ii is not ques

By Tad

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-Bob Ma
Allister, the slim, quick step
ping youth from the farther
coast, who attended to Battling LIE
whisky last week, was hammered TO
the floor by the veteran Mike Gibbons
at Madison Square Garden last might
McAllister went out toward the end
of the seventh round after Gibbons
had hammered an undefended jaw
for about five minutes.
While not establishing many
things, the battle proved the tudg-
ment of the man who framed I'D the
adaee to the effect that youth Will be
served. Youth was served with one
of the cruelest beatings we have seen
In long time, and, judging from the
bowls of glee every time Gibbon,
drove his fist against the Keeling
Youngsters bloody head, the crowd
was of the opinion that it served him
right.
TAKEN purely as means OF in
cuicating those well-known prin-
clpies of manlfness and fair play. the
battle did not assay very high. but it
was interesting as demonstration
of the amount of pounding a healthy
mans jaw can. take before disn-
tegration sets in. 1t was also re
markable in that within ten minutes
after he had finally collapsed under
the useless torture, McAllister was
able TO leave the ring, supported BY
only two or three men.
Although the contest went officially
seven rounds, all of the real pleasure
was condensed into the sixth and
seventh rounds. For the first. Glib
bons tried all Of the old. cagey tricks
OF his craft to lure the youngster
within the reach of the killing blow
of his hooked right arm McAllister
was some eight pounds the heavier
several inches taller and had pro
portionately longer reach Gibbons
problem was TO get within range, for
the long boxer from the coast was
fleet of foot and swift with his hands
TRUE to the pitiful code OF his
= caste, the boy would not quit
lie did not fall so long as it was
physically possible for him to stand.
When he could not fight, he could
stll stand up and take one or two
more heavy blows on his bruised law.
lie held up both hands before his face
and encouraged by the frantic shrieks
OF ecstasy from the great amphithes
ter, Gibbons cleverly pulled one weak
arm away, set himself carefully anG
struck with all his might. Then Nc
Allister fell
