NANIEL BOONE was born in Penn
sylvania, February II, 1875. IF
he had stayed there he would
never have become famous.
Some men succeed by keeping ever
lastingly at it, but Boone was not that
kind. He made himself familiar to pos
terity by moving everlastingly away.
Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in which
he grew up, was densely populated, hav-
ing a house every few miles, and this
oppressed BOone's proud, free spirit so
much, that when he became of age, he
packed up and moved out to Kentucky.
At that time. Kentucky consisted of
wilderness thickly infested with indians
who made it policy to divide the white
settler into as many sections as possible
whenever they found him. Boone had
a lone. well groomed rifle. and as he

WHY MEN Dol,'f 90 10 CHURCH.
Portland Press.l

Men, the great majority of men, don t
90 to church because the ministers are
preaching 100 much sentiment from the
pulpit and are telling too many mushy
stories.
That is what Fred B. Smith of New
York told big gathering of men in the
First Baptist church Thursday evening.
He also told them that the ministers
are preaching these things because the
women seem to like them and, as re-
suit, they are having women in their
congregations and no men, Along with
this condition of affairs, he said, there is
tendency for the sizzling sissy" to get
control of things. The sissy ne said, is

Smith, 81 would have him expelled, be-
cause the Bible deals only with men and
women clear cut.
Naturally MIR. Smith was we'll receiv-
ed with such forceful remarks as these.
He WIS the last of three speakers at
big mems meeting that was held for the
purpose of forming a mems brotherhood
in the church. There must have been
nearly 200 who sat down at the tables.
The supper was an enjoyable one, just
as are all those at the First Baptist
church. After it was over, the pastor,
the Rev. George R. Stair, told of the
object of tine gathering and presented
the speakers.

He admitted that the present police
force was inadequate to deal with the
situation. He stated that the force num-
