"saIt Is Good, But"
Jesus used salt as a symbol repre-
senting loyalty to God, which all His
followers must have and maintain. If
salt lose its value for seasoning pur-
poses, it is useless. So the Christian
has special purpose in the world-to
be preserving power, and to bring out
the good qualities of others. If he
fails to do so, he is of no particular
service.
''He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear" All Jesus followers are to heed
these words. Whoever neglects them
despises the One who gave them, and
will surely fail of a blessing that
might have been secured. We are not
to measure the world by the standards
with which we measure ourselves and
all protesting to be Jesus followers.
The worlds highest standard is the
Golden Rule. The Christians highest

 There was a long and solemn pause. and then William Carr remarked nery- ously, "Ain't 1t quietY"
 "Madge. your father has something in his coat pocket Try and get it out. Your father will help you"
 Madge was little confused. but she slipped by the side of her father. where the sergeant could not see, and Mir Carr tried to guide her hand into his pocket.
 At this particular moment, however. some evil spirit moved the fat police man, O'Malley, to walk over to the group, and as Madge stepped away from her father the policeman slipped into her place. The consequence was that William Carr. groping for his daughters hand to lead 1t into his pocket. seized O'Malley's habby paw Qf he had been anything but the most absentminded old gentleman in New York he must have noted the difference at oncel and tried to put it into his pocket

 Meanwhile the three men on the sofa had plunged into whispered con versation and were oblivious of all that was going on around them.

 Now, noww whispered Mrs. Carr to her daughter And Madge once more tried to get her hand into her fathers pocket
 Clancey moved forward from the door where he had been on guard and stared at Madge's maneuvers. while MT. Carr whistled louder. "Cut out that whistling." commanded the sergeant And Mir.

Most Civilized Nation.

The question (which is the most
civilized nation on earth?" is difficult
to answer. Civilization is very elias
tic term and is understood differently
in different times and places. In sci
entlfc attainment, education, wealth
and all the things that go along with
wealth the United States. Great Brit
ain and Germany would appear to lead
the procession, with some other ma
tions following closely; but, taking all
things into consideration, eliminating
the sole matter of wealth, the most
civilized country on earth is probably
Norway. In that far northern land the
ideal civiiZatiOn-tha is. the civiliza-
ton that rests on common sense and
iustice-seems to have matured to a
greater extent than it has anywhere
else.-New York American.

DOCTOR OUT ON BAIL
Hearing For Griffith on Charge of Muir
dering Music Teacher.


DR.. Martin Il. Griffith of Monessen,
in Jail in Greensburg, Pa, for the
murder of William L. Robinson, a
music teacher. whom he mutilated
after finding him with Mrs. Griffith,
was released on $500 bail after a
hearing before Judge l.. w. Doty
Bail was Immediately furnished by
Monessen men.
The details of the operation which
DR.. Griffith performed upon Robinson
were described in court by DR.. Morgan
c. Cramer of Monessen, who was
called by DR.. Griffith to take the
manned man to a hospital.
Judge Doty said that in his mind
the offense was clearly premeditated
and that the deliberation was shown.
Judge Doty said that provocation was
shown too, and while the wounds may
have caused the death of Robinson
the evidence did not warrant a charge
of anything higher than murder in
the second degree, which under the
law entitled the defendant to be liber-
ated on bail.
