PlETY AND PROSPERITY.
One Helps Not flinders Others, Says
the Rev. n. A. Hanson.


~Can a Man Be Successful in Bust
ness and Be a True Christian?" was
the subject of the Rev. Henry w. A.
Ranson's sermon at st. Luke's Euth-
eran church, Allegheny. He said
strange misconception was prevalent
regarding the relation between piety
and prosperity. Not all was success
that seemed such, as not all was fall
ure that seemed failure. He instanced
Nebuchadnezzar at the height of his
power, still far from the heights to
which he might have obtained ana, on
the other hand, Moses dying in sight
Of the promised land; the prophets
toiling ana pleading, only to die with
all their dreams unrealized; Christ
moving among the sons of men in all
the beauty OF a sinless glory only to
die upon the cross. The true measure
of success depended not upon what
we had, but what we were
To be a Christian in life meant to
bring down the noble impulses ana
principles revealed to US in the life
and teaching Of Christ into our daily
thought and duties. Continuing the
preacher said:
Any man who is engaged In q busi,
ness directly or indirectly into which
he cannot infuse these exalted ideals
had better leave it. If your busi-
ness unmans you, leave it--for what
doth it profit man if he gain the
whole world and yet lose his self-res-
pect and his soul?
1t is possible to bring these ideals
into our business life and achieve
success? Even in the eyes of the
world, honesty, manliness and Chris
tian virtue are possessions recogniz-
ed and admired. There has never
been an age when sinyerity and high
Christian honor have had grander op-
portunity awaiting them No matter
what be your walk in life, to make
the best man that you can be to all
that God intended you should be, you
must take religion into every phase
Of your work
Il see no reason why ones piety
should be an obstacle to ones pros
perity, but l see many reasons why
true piety should bring the highest
prosperity Piety and goodness are
not weight, but power they
do not hamper but they lift men high
er.

si6ered a Dead One,

SiGSESO q OSd1 VIC
Westmoreland, Kan.-The ingenuity
of c. E. Morris, receiver for the Kan
sas, Southern & Gulf Railroad, in
utilizing secondhand automobile for
motive power, has changed that road
from losing to profitable enterprise
and it has been purchased and taken
out of receivership by a new company
known as the Westmoreland Interur-
ban Railway Co. 1t will continue to
have the distinction of being the only
gasoline railroad in the country, as the
new owners are strong believers in
Morris automobile motive power.
The road, a dream of the early sos,
was projected to traverse the wheat
belt, connecting the Dakotas with the
Gulf Coast. Work started at Blaine,
in Pottawatomie County and after IL
miles had been completed extending to
Westmorelard, the county seat, the
promoters could find no further sale
for their bonds and had to abandon
construction. For equipment they had
two engines and two cars, so they be-
gan to operate over the short stretch
that was completed, as it was the only
railroad in the county.
The road never paid dividends, but
had to borrow to pay the interest on
bonds. About five years ago the en-
gines wore out and there was no
money for repairs. Then the state took
charge and appointed Morris receiver.
Morris traded the two locomotives
for reasonably good one and kept
the trains going with some regularity.
He tried to resign several times but
the court wouldn't let him. He fired
a lot of useless employees like conduc.
tors, station agents, passenger agents
and freight agents and made the fire.
man also act as conductor and brake
man. Morris also got court order
that let him raise the freight rates and
he charged cents mile for passen-
ger fares, but even this would not
make the road pay expenses.
About two years ago Morris disposed
Of the old engine and purchased
secondhand automobile. For the front
wheels he substituted the trucks of
hand-car and for the rear wheels two
locomotive front wheels. The body
had room for six passengers, besides
the driver, and Morris built some min
iature freight cars by putting bodies
on hand cars. The road now has three
freight cars, each with a capacity of
two tons, and is not only giving salts.

THE MOTHER,
WEEDS THE DAUGHTER
Eride Said to Have Been Won BY
FIowery EIoquence-A Mothers
Sacrifice

Coram, N. Y-The thing that is now
puzzling the residents of this peace
tul hamlet is why 73-year-old Edwin
Hawkins, Of East Moriches, sud-
denly ceased his courtship of Mrs. Lu-
ellie Overton and has just married her
daughter, Miss Christina Ophelia, who
IS thirty-seven years his junior.
Three years ago, when the East Mo-
rfcnes man came to live at the Over
ton homestead, it was limited among
the neighbors that he had an infatua-
ton for Mrs. Overton, who is widow,
and it was expected among the gos-
sips that they would some day make
a match of it."
Consequently there was no end of
excitement when the aged preacher
married the widows daughter. Nc
reason is given for the break in the
supposed affection of the bridegroom
for the brides mother They will lot
talk
The bridegroom is a lay preacher
of the plymouth Brothers" doctrine
and used to call meetings at the home
of the brides mother, where he would
PROFOUND to the neighboring farmers
the light as he seets it.
1t is understood that he has great
eloquences of address and that his
young bride was often seen watching
him with wistful eyes when he was in
the heat of his fiowery flow of words.
1t is suggested by some that she fell ir
love with his voice, and that the
mother has sacrificed her claim to her
offspring rival.
The bridegroom is widower and
has been married twice before. He

cording to a bill of complaint filed in
the Circuit Court by Augusta E. Holh-
day, 20-year-old girl, against Allan
Holiday, being negotiated under a sys.
tem that approaches a lottery. The
bill also makes serious charges against

Mrs. Holiday says marriages in the
colony were contracted in this fashion:
The girls and men were led into DIFF
ferent rooms and then instructed to
write on slips of paper the mates they
desired. All did so, only Mrs. Holiday
says she did not get the mate she
wanted.
Two other girls wanted him. In
such cases the couples were matched
without any special regard for love.
After the wedding Mrs. Holiday quit
the colony and now wants the mar
