SUNDAY WANTS TO

tremely gratifying in the matter OF at

weather conditions, and in the n - or
of conversions made, despite the act
that the revival has been in progress
for six weeks. Preacher Bill express
ed rather wistfully one regret during
the sermon: The Trail of the Serpent
That was IF hadn't promised to stay
in Des Moines until December 70, l
would go to Washington, d. c., and
preach to some of those congressman
and senators who are liable to vote
against the Hobson northumberland
I'd swing enough of them over, you
can bet your life on that
1t is safe to say that there wasn't
corporals guard in that audience who
entertained even the slightest doubt
that Billy, with his Booze, or Get on
the Water Wagon sermon, and the
one of Sunday afternoon, THE Trail
of the Serpent" could not do this very
same thing.
Sunday held forth quite while on
the matter of national prohibition. He
expressed himself as certain that if
the house passed the measure which
it is considered, will be the death blow
to John Barleycorn, Senators Cumm1ns
and Kenyon will vote and fight for, It's
passage in the senate. There are two
or three members of the house from
Iowa that I'm not so sure of, he con-
tinued.
A man from a seat nearby the pulpit
interrupted THE wife of Congress
man Prouty sits beside me and she
wishes it understood that her husband
is heart and soul for the measure
The audience applauded and Sunday
smilingIy replied I'm not afraid OF
Prouty. / wasn't thinking of him
At the afternoon and evening SER
mons, Sunday asked for rising vote
on a resolution which he read, eX-
pressing loyalty to the cause OF the
Hobson amendment. Unanimous re-
spouse was given at each instance.

clapping that shook the structure.
The sermon: 1.-The Trail of the
Serpent was listened to by ten thou
sand men, many of whom brought
their midday luncheon with them in
order to secure good seat. This is
the last booze sermon that the evan
gelist will preach in this city, but the
few remarks" he made concerning
this subject in the former sermon, !

A LOVE OF DRESS.
Parents are unduly disturbed il

Parents are unduly disturbed in
perceiving in their children love
of dress. But it is natural, and
we think praiseworthy, to try to
look ones best and we should pre-
fer an undue fondness for neat
aud fitting attire, to the slovenly
indifference to it on the part of
either boy or girl. "Raiment as
costly as the purse eau buy, said
Sha kespesrs, that wonderful seer,
whose vision penetrated every sham
and saw into the motives of men,
and gave many maxim for life's
conduct. A youth seeking bust
ness position will recommend him
self by the trimness of his clothing,
by it's general well-brushed and
well-kept effect. An untidy girl
is never comedy. No beautiful of
the rose in her cheek, or of abun-
dant hair, no grace of form can
compensate for buttonless. shoes,
rents held together by pins, the
hens aud ruftiss and tucks in II

THE ETERNAL NOW.

The following beautiful thought
is taken from the Monroe News
Star.
The yesterdays are dead; the to-
morrows are unborn-it is today
alone that it ours, that is ever with
US and that makes up our lives
and eternity as single grains of
sand makes up the boundles5
beach of the seas. Born between
two heartbeats and dying as in
simultaneously; ever Guiding only
to begin again; filing the space
between the limitless past aud the
limitless future without ever mer-
glng into either; passing with the
swiftness of a weavers shuttle and
like 1t fashioning the fabric of
our lives; dropping one by Que in
to the ocean OF time as precious
pearls might slip from sllken
cord into some fathomless lake; as
unfaltering in its flight rs the mo-
ton of the earth on an axis, and
ever bearing our life with it from
one eternity TO another-there Is
nothing so real, nothing more elu-
sive than this period of time which
We call today
Life for day is but an spitome
of a lifetime. We awake in the
morning with no knowledge of
where our souls have been wand
erlng where our senses sleep; with
the fresh vlgor and interest enter
upon tho occasion of our daily
work and fulfill our duties With an
energy that begins to fail as the
evening shadows leugthen; as
darkness deepsns WEAKNESS comes
upon Us and at last We are glad to
lay aside our work and cares and
to surrender ourselves to the sleep
that spirits our course back again
to the unknown. Each day has
its own allotted task-no more. 1t
is only when we go beyond that
which is given US for the day and
force the mind and body TO do
things not worth while; when we
are not content to bear the evils
of the day, but harass ourselves
with anticipation of those the fu-
ture may bring when we are not
satisfied with the daily bread"
for which One wiser than we
taught US to pray, but strive to lay
up u useless surplus to leave be-
hind; when the pleasure that were
given us to enjoy in wholesome
moderation degenerate into wild
excess-it is only then that out
ragged nature takes revenge for the
neglect OF Der laws, and santa
RUINS and lunatic asylums are fill
ed with the victims of ill-rsgula-
ted lives.

CLOTH TOPS ON THE NEWEST
BOOTS.


Most of the boots and slippers for
the winter have tops of cloth, buck.
skin or suede in the lighter tones Of
tan, gray or mustard. The gray tops
are often used in combination with
dull leather for informal wear and
with patent leather for more drassy
occasions.
Quite new is the laced, gaiter top
boot, with the top either Of dark gray
or fawn-colored buckskin. The vamp
and back portion are of dull kid. and
the heel is of the Spanish Louis KIN
type.
An extremely smart shoe for street
wear. says the Pittsburg Gazette
Times, has a gaiter top Of gray Or
snuff-colored buckskin and a vamp OF
tleck Russian calf. The heel is two.
inch Cuban Louis.

For dancing there Is the colonial

namentel with buckles of silver

Another dancing slipper which con.

parents, though tho official Registers
OF France declare them to be "un.

was brought to France and has lived
here ever since. When he applied to
be placed on the recruiting lists, the
council Of revision declared that he was
foreigner.
Very WELL. thought Dumont, "11l
have myself naturalized."
But the naturalization bureau also
has its red tape. To be adopted as a
citizen Of the French republic it is
necessary that one prove that he is u
foreigner. Dumont went to Switzer'
land and though no one doubted that
he was born on the banks Of Lake Lee
man, he could not produce any ofl'
cial document proving his Swiss no
tionality.
Dumont finally succeeded in getting
certificate of birth on Swiss terri
tory, but the Swiss administration adj
ded the words :-"still he is not O
Swiss"
Dumont came back velizy with this
document and presented 1t to the mag
istrate Of the commune who demand
ed declaration from him as a for

cry demanded, "even If it is Chinese"
Dumont thought he could accept
this official advice so he declared him
self Chinaman. Shortly afterwards
he was arrested for false declaration
He has since been able to prove bis
good faith to the transaction but he
was fined sixteen franc, and is still
unable to get himself recognized as
either Swiss or French, and is conse'
