Baptist Notes

Life is too short to give up all
to business and nothing to pleas
ure and rest. Too many people
defraud their stomach, head and heart
until they have made competency.
When they expect to enjoy the plea
sure of life they are generally too
old, or their greed for money has
dried up all the well springs of their
being and they are incapable of en-
joyment. Devote your business hours
to business and your leisure hours to
innocent pleasure and wholesome a.
musement and the cultivation of such
things as will make life pleasant.

TRUE COURAGE

Cultivate courage-that is, true
courage. Sometimes we do deed
Of bravery because we are afraid
not to-afraid that others will laugh
at us or scorn us or that some harm
will come 10 us if we do not do the
deed. That Is not true courage.
1t is only the supplanting Of one fear
by greater lear.

BEAR HOLDS UP AuToIsT
Black Bruin Refuses to Make Way, IN
Spite Of Frequent Frightened
"Honks."

The story Of a holdup Of lone
autoist from this city by lone black
bear is the first hunting tale that
comes from Clinton county forests
this year.
r. A. Quigley and party Of hunt
ers left here at night in an automo-
bile driven by Henry Ice Of North
Jones street, for their hunting lodge
in the Hyner district, near the
pumping station of the Standard Oil
company. They reached camp safe
ly and Chauffeur Lee was on his way
to Hyner station to meet other mem
beers Of the party when he saw the
black object ahead that proved to be
a large bear, which refused to move
from the road.
Lee repeatedly blew his horn, but
the toot fell apparently upon deaf
ears. 1t was a clean holdup in a
dense forest, and the cold shivers be-
gan to trace themselves up and down
the spinal column Of the man at the
wheel.
Finally the bear moved off into the
woods, and the frightened motorist
put on full power, breaking the speed
limit on his way to Hyner station

The crippled hill liner Minnesota,
returning toward the Golden Gate, af-
ter having turned back when we'll at

Eng, has in its brig three men. who,
IL information made public here to-
night is correct, are suspected OF per-

Offices Of the Great Northern com

south OF San Farncisco. Since then
q tug and salvage steamer have
been sent to its aid.
Marine men here declared tonight
that they base their belief that the

FINE WORK Is DONE
BY THE RED CROSS
In the European War Says DR..
Ryan Who Arrives at Geneva
on Return from Serbia.
10Y AssociArrp p M,

GENEVA, Dec. 4. via Paris-Dr. Ed
ward Ryan, OF Washington, chief of
the American Red Cross forces in Ser
sbia for fourteen months, arrived in
Geneva today from Belgrade by way
OF Vienna and Buchs. He was accom-
panied by two nurses. Miss Mary
Gadwin and Miss Josephine Valentino.
The Austrian authorities gave the par
tyf every facility for their journey ana
expressed regret at their departure.
DR.. Ryan's is the last OF
the American Red Cross missions re-
called from Europe recently because
OF the lack Of funds. The physician,
who has been decorated by the
French, Austrian and Serbian gov
ernments, talked freely on his arrival
here regarding his professional work.
His mission, he said, had treated about
10000 wounded men, almost evenly
divided between Serbians and Aus
TRANS with a sprinkling Of Germans
and Buigarians. The largest base hos
pital In Serbia flying the American flag
was under his charge. On two occas-
ions he found himself at the head Of
Red Cross affairs in Belgrade await
ing the arrival Of an Austrian general.
On the last occasion, when the final
drive through Serbia was beginning,
he advised the British and French
physicians to retire to Nish, leaving
their wounded and i'll in his hands, be-
fore the Austro- German forces entered
Belgrade.
4 The American flag was respected,
said DR.. Ryan, but occasionally shells
fell near the hospital. Because Of the
splendid equipment of the Institution
many of the wounded were transferred
from other hospitals and treated there.
During the bombardment Of Bel
grade, DR.. Ryan met King Peter Of
Serbia, who was with his troops, TAX
Ing every risk. The physician praised
the bravery Of the Serbian soldiers.

II is expected q protest
