Under influence of Liquor.

There came into a prominent church
one evening a man so under the in
fuence of liquor that he disturbed the
meeting He left the service four
times, each time returning TO his seat
far to the front Timely advice fin
ally quoted him, and after the sermon
the minister urged him to become a
Christian that night. The man said
il was of no use; he could not live a
Christian life. The minister persuad-
ed him to kneel at the altar. Finally
the man almost vehemently demand
ed, IF God should forgive my sins,
and l determine to live for him. tell
where / shall go"
where you shall go? What do you
mean"
Then the man said, There are eight
open saloons that ! must pass on my
way home, and l cannot get by any
one of them without smelling the
accurscd stuff: and if smell it, am
lost. Tell me where / shall GOT
And the minister did not know what
to say; but he has since been doing
all i'm his power TO clear the way for
men who cannot pass the open saloon
unframed. Make ready the king
highway by abolition of the liquor ira
fic," is the cry of the Anti-Saloon
League. and of every temperance
force i'm the world.

IL has brought some II the best speak
ers and educators in the country To
Hastings FOR lectures and these have
both been a benefit TO the citizenship
and have resulted i'm the increase of
the fund that has been used 10 such a
good advantage i'm promoting practi-
cal education among the students.
The annual training school and the
department in domestic science are
models of their kind. Here, too, there
is "a lack of show. Everything from
the faculty down is designed for bust
ness and the domestic science depart
ment is no exception. Mr.. Osbornes
rule is for a small faculty and a good
one, and he is carrying it out to the
letter.
Perhaps nothing has been done
more indicative of his advanced ideas
than the high school spelling contest
which he organized last year and
which created such "a Juror. 1t result
ed in the formal organization of the
Michigan High School Spelling league,
built on a foundation of Mr. Osbornes
simple, pratical little theme that
every high school graduate should be
able TO spell the words of his ordinary
written vocabulary"
You know the spelling of the aver
age high school student was abomin-
able" said MIR. Osborne frankly. ours
was no exception. l have seen essays
by graduates in which the commonest
words were misspelled / was anX-
iOus to correct this condition and
cast about for some means. The idea
of contest suggested itself.
I'VE all know how the youngsters
will work and slave and deprive them
selves in the interests of an athletic
contest. Well that gave me the idea
for the spelling league. And it marked
the awakening of our students here
TO the need of better spelling. | told
them if they lost in the contest it
would not be because good spoilers
failed, but because the poor spoilers
failed to improve themselves and
therefore pulled down the general
percentages
Mr.. Osbornes idea spread over the
state like wild fire. The first contest
went to Big Rapids with a percentage
of 80, Hastings was SO per cent
which wasn't at all bad All of the
important high schools of the state
are members of the league and new
members are constantly coming in

INTRODUCTORY
Last week we saw that this chapter
contains three parallels, all spoken be-
cause of v-1-2, all portraying Gods
love for the sinner, and yet each diff
fering from the others. We studied
the first two parallels and today come
to the third. AS stated last week we
do not believe this parable TO be
treatise on backsliding; rather ii sets
forth the Pharisees' hard heartedness
in the light of the Fathers love for
the straying ones. As an aid to re-
membering the contents of this chap
ter, write in your Bible and also in
your memory this simple outline:
LOST-Sheep, Silver, Son-FOUND
From Evangelist Charles Reign
Scoville we have the following outline
of the third parable:
Freedom
Adieu
Trial
Hunger
Extremity
Return or Reception
We will study the parable using all
the verses, including 25-32, from the

 The withdrawal of Fred H. Perkins and the last-minute substitution of f the name of Wm. s. Humbert as Ormes opposition in the race for the presidency came almost as com plete surprise. There was lot of confusion of names on the petitions. that led to some peculiar line-ups. For instance several candidates for
 gOvernorships and for the council added the name of MT Orme to their ! own petitions. Some also placed the 1 name of Wilbur on their petitions. 1 It was this sort of additions that | enabled the two to total sufficient !, names to receive nomination And 1 then there was the old circumstance i of Wilburs name on the Humbert petitions. One Humbert paper car i ried the name of J. G. Spangler for
 vice president. Needless to say this
 one was circulated in the Mesa dis ! trict in which MT. Spangler resides. Total stockholders 1913. ........ 3.36S

NEW MARCUS KLAW IN PHOENIX SHOW BUSINESS
Newt Levi Buys Wiewam Theatre and Changes Name to Avenue

There is new Marcus Klaw in the city. He is a thorough Mare Klaw with two exceptions. The first is, his first name is not Marc, but Newt; while the second is, his second name is not klaw. but Levi. The resemblance, however. he has to Marc Klaw is that he is theatrical manager Nuf Sed.
 The facts of the case are that Newt Levi has purchased the light, title, interest, good will and fixtures of the Harts' Wigwam theater, on First avenue from the Hart broth CTS, who have managed the place for the past eighteen months or so, and in addition to changing the name the first rattle out of the box, he inn mediately took charge of the box office and began selling the little slips of cardboard entitlng the bear CT to admission to the big tent. Levi is well known in the city. For years prior to this venture, he has been connected with the news paper business in various capacities, l first as business manager of the re- | gently demised Democrat, and later with the afternoon contemporary, in an advertising capacity. However he has had ambitions to become a caterer of amusement, and now he realizes them.
 | It is his intention to run only the ! best of pictures at the old theatel with the new name. and at all times
 
 to the patrons of the house. By this means he hopes to hold all the old | friends and make a great many new ones. He has many friends of his own who will immediately begin pat ronizing the show house because ht 1 is connected with it.

From last Fridays st. Louis Globe
Democrat: "How Mrs. Helen Win
gate, widow of Robert F. Wingate,
who served Missouri as attorney gen.
eral during the civil war, has lived in
poverty in a little room in Middle
West st. Louis for a period of two
years, at times bordering on starva-
ton, was brought to light yesterday
when Attorney General Barker re-
ceived several checks and drafts for
her support from members of the bar.
Mrs. Wingate now is 80 years old,
quite feeble and wholly without means
of support. She has no relatives.
Recently her health broke and Ed
ward B. Inner of 1862 Finneyavenue,
a member of the Merchants Elk
change, who knew ofher plight, sent
her to Troy, Mo-. where she will re-
main until her health is restored. 1t
became known last night that the
aged widow of the former attorney
general lived during her period of
poverty in the 5000 block on Finney
avenue. Recently she appealed to
Anthony A. O'Hallaron, an attorney
with offices in the Third National
Bank Building, for aid, and he sent
out a circular letter to members of
the bar. Among the contributors
towards the support of the ageo
widow was Champ Clark. who mailed
his check for 81. About $25 fol
support was received by the attorney
general and this amount forwarded
to O'Hallaron. Several weeks age
Mrs. Wingate wrote to Attorney
General Barker, inquiring whether
the State of Missouri makes any pro
vision for the support of destitute
widows of former state officials. The
attorney general answered her inquir!
by saying the state has no funds whicl
can be used for that purpose, and in
closing his check for $40. Robert F
Wingate was elected attorney genera
from st. Louis in 1864, and later die
in that city, according to the stat
