oNA VAOO az . cove
Prayer meeting Thursday eve
ming at 1880.
The services last Sunday were
exceptionally we'll attended, con-
sidering the severity of the
weather.
In the evening the pastor used
the text found at Hebrews 1871,

Who is Invisible" The theme
was Abraham Lincoln; his char
acteristics and religion.
In the evening the third number
of the illustrated sermons was
given on "Why We Got Our BIZ
ble," to large and very interested
congregation. The sermon called
attention to man made religions,
showing the demoralizing condi-
ton of the people where these
false religions are practiced. At
the close of the sermon, Miss
bardWell sang the Ninety and
Nine in very touching manner,
while the song was illustrated by
ten beautiful views of the shep-
herd seeking the lost sheep.

Kentucky's Illiteracy

Kentucky has 2Os,Osl men and wo-
men, according to the last report Of
the United States Census Bureau,
who cannot read and write-valu-
able material going 10 waste-good
people, but in a state Of material
darkness. Madison County has 1900
Of these unfortunates. A movement
is on foot TO give these people a
chance like the grown people Of
Rowan County had in their Moon
light Schools. In that county men
and women past eighty learned in
few weeks to read and write. Only
twenty-three illiterates were left in
that county, though there were LISP
when the Moonlight Schools began,
three years ago. A number Of Ken
lucky teachers have taken up the
movement, and Moonlight Schools
are being conducted in a number Of
counties in the State.

THE HEALTH MASTER
o Houghton Company

DO you know more about this
affair than ! do? The crisp query
was accompanied by a backward
thrust OF the tall mans elbow
which broke Mr.. Clyde's hold, and
smack smack!-the swift double
blow rocked the victims head
again. This time the man grOaned.
The car was in an uprOar. Mr..
Clyde instantly and effectively pin
ned the tall mans elbows from be-
hind, Some one pulled the bell, and
the brakes ground, throwing those
forward who had pressed into the
aisle. Against this pressure, Mr..
Clyde, aided by the conductor, be-
gan dragging his man backward
The stranger was helpless to resist
this grip; but as he was forced
away he perpetrated a final afro
city. Shooting out one long leg,
he caught the toe of his boot under
the Outstretched mans jawbone
and jerked the chin back. This
time, the object of the violence not
only groaned, but opened his eyes.
I'll have you in Jail for THAR
painted Mr.. Clyde, his usually plac-
Id temper surging up.
Other passengers began TO lift
the victim.
Drop himr snapped the tall
man, with such imperative decis-
iveness, that the helping hands
voluntarily retracted. Let him lie,
you fools DO you want TO kill him?"
Mlsgivings beset and cooled Mr..
Thomas Clyde. He had now reach
ed the rear platform, still holding
in his powerful and disabling grasp
the unknown man, when he heard
a voice from an automobile which
had been halted by the abrupt stop
of the ear.
Can | be of any help2"
Or. Magruderl" exclaimed Mr..
Clyde, come in here, will you, and
take look at a sick MANI"
As the doctor stepped aboard, the
captive with a violent wrench freed
himself from Mr.. Clyde's relaxing
hold and dropped from the platform
into the darkness. DIR. Magruder

The Doctor Knows

The eleven-o'clock car was just
leaving Monument Square when
Mr.. Thomas Clyde swung aboard
with an ease and agility worthy OF
a younger and less portly man. just
in front Of him sprawled heavy
shOuldered young man, apparent
ly asleep. Mr.. Clyde was unfavor-
ably impressed both by his appear
ance and by the manner of his
breathing, which was as excessive
as il was unusual. As the car
swung sharply around curve the
young mans body sagged at the
waist, and Topped over toward the
aisle. Before Mr.. Clyde's restrain
ing hand could close upon his
he had tumbled outward
to the floor, and lay quiet, with up
turned face. There was stir
through the car.
The horrid drunken creaturer
exclaimed a black-clad woman OPP
posite Mr.. Clyde. why do they
allow such people on the carsT
The conductor hurried forward,
only to find his way blocked by a
very tall. slender man who had
quietly stepped, from seat next
the window, over an intervening
boy and the box he was
carrying. The new arrival on the
scene of action stopped over the
PROSTATE figure. One glance ap-
satisfied him. With a
swift, sharp motion he slapped the
inert man forcefully across the
cheek. The sound of the impact
was startlingly loud. The senseless
head rolled over upon the left
only TO be Strengthened
Dut by another quick blow, A muir
mur of Indignation and disgust
hummed and passed, and the wom-
an in black called upon the con-
iuctor TO stop the assault But Mr..
Thomas Clyde, being person Of de-
Dision and action, was before the
official. He caught the assailant's
arm as IL swung back again.

Seventy fifth Anniversary

In spite of his millions the day
was not a happy one. He was
practically a prisoner at Tarrytown.
The day was quite as others to him
as he was cut off from his Cleve-
land, Ohio, home where he has for
so many years enjoyed his birth
days. He was closely guarded from

Bad Mix-Up New Haven Railroad
ing Affairs
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission that has been at work in
vestigating the New Haven railroad
financial affairs reported to the Sen
ate on the 18th, that one of the most
glaring instances of maladminlstra-
ton was revealed in all the history
OF American railroading. Losses
will range from $6O,OOO,OOO to @0,-
100000 to the stockholders.
Mexican Troubles About to End
Reports now come that Huerta is
about TO resign in favor of CarbaJal
the newly appointed minister OF
Foreign Affairs. The Washington
government will not recognize Car
bajal only in formal way. The
rebels have been duly informed
that they will have no recognition
by the United States if excuses are
committed on their entry into Mex
leo City. Villa refuses to accept a
provisional presidency at Mexico
City but insists on making the Con-
stitutiOnalist victory complete by
an entry under arms. He wants a
complete cleaning out of the Huerta
regime.
Tremendous Decrease in Whisky
Used
The United States Revenue report
for the first eleven months of the
fiscal year ending July 1 will show
a decrease in revenue to the gov
eminent from distilled liquors of
nearly four millions of dollars, es-
June cOnservatively, the
fiscal year will show a decrease Of
four and a quarter millions (4,250,-
10000 dollars.
The liquor interests are now get
ting the benefit of the natural re-
action from the misrepresentation
on which they have built during
the last three or four years.
Whisky can only remain in bond
ed warehouses eight years. Time
and decreasing demand has, during
recent years, forced large quanti-
lies of whisky out of bonded ware
houses into private warehouses,
and though not consumed, has been
counted, by the liquor interests, as
having been consumed. These mis-
now begin TO col
lapse on their hands.
Persons who are familiar with
he operations of the liquor inter-
ests under government supervision
have prophesied that this collapse
would come in the figures the Ii
luOr people have been using to
prove that they were selling more
liquors each year, for in fact, there
has been no increase in the quanti-
les sold, simply increase in the
amount withdrawn from bond hav-
ng reached the limit at this point, !
he truth now comes to light.
