it three times, but never approaching
nearer than man could have reached

third circle she sat down on her
launches, and Kazan went close to the
htmmock and shifted. Under that
bulge in the snow, as well as in the
tepee, there was death. They skunk
away, their ears flattened and their
tails dropping until they trailed the
snow, and did not stop until they
reached their swamp home. Even
there Gray Wolf still shifted the horror
of the plague, and her muscles witch

Kazan's side.
That night the big white moon had

the plague came in the days of great

the more terrible its havoc. 1t grew
steadily colder that night, and the in
creased chill penetrated to the heart
of the windfall, and drew Kazan and
Gray Wolf closer together. With dawn,
which came at about eight o'clock, ka-
ian and his blind mate sailed forth in

zero. About them the trees cracked
with reports like pistol shots. In the
Ihickest spruce the cartridges were
bumped into round balls Of feathers.
The snow shoe rabbits had burrowed
deep under the snow or to the heart
of the heaviest windfalls. Kazan and
Gray Wolf found few fresh trails, and
after an hour of fruitless hunting they
returned to their lair. KaZan, dog-like

three days before, and they dug this

strong enough to drive Kazan and
Gray Wolf from their windfall. The

out on hunt for meat, leaving Gray

ordinary temperature Gray Wolf could
have lived for a fortnight without food.

DRUGGISTS FINED
FOR SELLING DRINKS

Des Moines, Oct. 3O-The doom OF
so-called temperance drinks in Des
Moines was announced by District
Judge Hubert Utterback today when
he fined ten druggists, all of whom
were charged with contempt of court
in that they are alleged to have sold
malt drinks of cider since being en-
joined from selling beverages con-
tanning alcohol. One druggist was
fined $500 and the others 5000 each.
The courts ruling was taken to
mean that he will grant permanent

druggists who were recently arrested
in raids by anti-saloon league detec-
tives.
Governor George w. Clarke is to be
asked by Des Moines business men to
remit the fines. It was expected to

| We condemn the assumption, which
Mormon priests promote and shallow
observers adopt, that crusade
against crime must attack industry,
or thrift, or happiness, or content
ment, or piety or any form of yir-
tue. The most hurtful enemy to the
Mormons is he who assumes that the
perpetuation of their good qualities
and deeds is dependent upon the
offences of their prophet; that their
industry is the creature of his greed;
that their freedom subsists in his
tyranny, that their virtues can be
maintained only by his polygamy;
and that their religion dissolves
when he obeys the law.
Christian missionaries may find it
easier to convert Mormonism after
the correction of Mormonism; easier
to convert the educated, law-abiding
and loyal Mormon after the correc-
tion of the fanatical, law-breaking
and reasonable Mormon. 1t is even
possible that after the correction,
there will be less need for CONVEX
sion.
For our part, we would have the
Mormon Church and people right
eously enjoy their freedom of faith
in this republic. Living the coven-
ant to which they pledged their hon
or, no Christian hand will be raised
agaist them. Freed from the often
ces and the burden of the offenders,
that have reused the just indigna-
tion of their betrayed country, they
will develop the best that is within
their human mass. If their system
can survive the eradication of it's
crimes and criminals, it will
take its place among the conven-
tional faiths of mankind But it will
have ceased to be the Mormonism
which now invades the rights and
affronts the civilization OF this
Christian land.
There are many sects. There is
but one Christ. In His Great Day
he differences may fall away from
saiths. And all who will to share in
His salvation may unite as brothers
II His worship.
There are many powers in our ma
ion. There is but one sovereignty.
As long as our citiZenry must ex-
press their will through government
Ind must hold their rights under it's
'ule, there can be no invasion of it's
supremacy. Any further attempt
o substitute Mormonism for our
we must resist. Against
ny present substitution we must
wage crusade
We owe that duty to ourselves.
We owe it to Christ, the Ruler of all.

Road Bonds Proposed.

Hickman, KY, March 6. - Peti.
tlons have been circulated the past
week throughout the various mag
isterial districts of this county ask
ing the County Judge to call a spe-
cial meeting for the purpose of as
certaining the wish of the voters of
this county, on the proposition of
bonding the county in the sum of
100000 to be used in building
gravel roads over the county, and
these petitions will be presented to-
day to County Judge E. J. Stahr.
The present plans are to have a vote
on this question on Saturday, Nav
22, 1915. The petition circulated
here was signed up right at once, be-
ing met with much enthusiasm. If
this is carried it will give 210 miles
of good hard roads in Fulton County
and the tax will not be increased by
reason of voting the bonds, as the
people are now paying the limit on
this tax. There is a present road
fund of $4,000 a year for the coun-
tvs roads, plus the minimum of
$4,000 which we get from the
State fund, which will pay off the
bonded Indebtedness, allowing $4,000
for maintenance and repairs of each
year. In addition If this issue is
carried, it is said the State will turn
over to the county the special auto
mobile license, amounting to ap-
proximately $1,000 year.

Solemn Thoughts

Soon, now. the long vacation
will dwindle to its close, the time
OF recreation and fun and goods
like those, and in the knowledge
palace the wheels once more will
turn, and Henry, James and Alice
will buckle down to learn. Before
the kindly teachers they'll learn
to parse and spell. while thinking
OF the bleachers they patronized
so we'll. They'll try their hands at
rhyming, attack the rule OF three,
while wishing they were climbing
up some ones apple tree. Why
are the children sulking. as sulk
they do, it seems, since school is
largely bulkins in all their future
schemes? Why should they hate
the CHEEKY. far-sounding school
house gong: They surely must
be weary of games they've played
so long. Why should they dread
returning from scenes of idle play,
to wonder seat OF learning. where
wisdom holds its sway? The
ancient man and woman would
pause for a reply: we'll, girls and
boys are human, and that's the
reason why.
