A CRY o HELP.

There's a parable told in the Bible
Of the son who asked for bread
And would an earthly father
Give him a stone instead,
Followers Of the 1owly Jesus
How often do we indeed
Let the heart sick and the hungry
Pass on in desperate need.
We build such wonderful churches
To worship the Lord there in
Forgetting the many thousands
That's left out side in sin,
The churches are for the Christians
The rich and respectable men
Never thinking that Jesus the lowly
Chose his deeiples from fishermen.
The men with the rornout coat sleeve
Or a patch at the bend of the knee
Are never seen at the churches
There clothes are not ct to see,
Jesus the King of Heaven
Commands US to bring them in,
From out the by.ways and hedges,
Away from the paths of sin.
The church doors are never open
Excepting twice a week
The pool rooms and other places
Are open to all who seek,
Warmth, food, and amusement,
A shelter from rain and sleet,
And yet our Savior commands US
To call the weary in
From out the by-ways and hedges,
Safe from temptation and sin.
o church of the living Savior
Wake up to the needs today,
OF the thousands, men and women,
Walking in sins dark way;
Put aside style and fine dressing,
Open wide God 8 house to them,
Let them know we are followers O.
Jesus
And are called to be fishermen.
God forbid, we should take the parabl.
OF the son who asked for bread,
Turning a deft ear to his p~leadings,
And give him a stone instead.
0, Jesus Of Nazareth, help Us
To give a helping hand,
Pointing the way to the fountain OF
life
That eleanses sinful men.

HUERTA TROOPS REBEL
ON VERA CRUZ FRONT
Constitutionalists Fear Clash Which
May Bring American Forces
Into Action.

VERA CRUZ. july Word that re-
volt of a large number of federal troops
stationed along the line in front OF the
American outposts has reached const1tu-
tionaIists in this city. The advices con-
yeyins this information also expressed
the fear that Gen. Huerta would send a
punitive expedition from Cordoba against
the mutineers.
In order to prevent a clash between
forces loyal TO Huerta and those reported
IN revolt near the American lines, which
might result in complications with the
American outposts, Octavio Campero.
Carranzas agent here. appealed to Cen
Funston for permission to pass the lines
In order to instruct the mutinous troops
to move rapidly away from the neighbor-
hood of Vera Cruz into territory held by
the constitutionalists
Cen Funston, who had already been IN
formed that unusual developments of
some kind were taking place within the
federal lines. had given orders to the
outposts to maintain unusual vigilance.
He refused Campero's request on account
of the existing armistice and in order to
maintain the neutral position of the
American forces.
Campero and other constitutionalist
agents hope to be allowed to pass the
American lines. They plan to join the re-
voting federals and hope to be able to
avoid any action which might bring about
firing within range of the American lines.

mo SMOKING" IN ST. LOUIS.
United Railways Would Enforce the
Kansas City Rule.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
One Of the Indignant smokers appeals
to the mayor. though anonymously. in
words and phrases, to wit:
Whereas the United Railways Com
pany Is placing cards on their cars pro-
hibiting smoking on rear seats and plat
forms, the people demand that the rear
or front end Of every car be partitioned
off for smokers. as every other civilized
railway company provides. Kindly have
ban taken OFF at once. What right has
the company to make such a ruling? The
people only have a right to make such
rulings"
Admitting the writer's claim that the
people only have a right to make such
rulings. we fear for our indignant citi-
zen's hopes that their ruling would be
even more determinative against smok-
ing than the company's regulation. The
question of smoking was put to vote IN
Kansas City q year or two ago and the
smokers were given a peremptory mo"
three to one.
Our sympathies are with the smokers
to the extent that we should plead for a
special compartment for them If it were
practicable, Let US not be harsher than
necessary. But as to every other civil
ized railway company providing them,
we have little corroborative data
