A SERMON ON THE DEVIL.

e., We have. always heard that
there was devil, and there must
be some truth in the report. Vari-
Gus rumors have been circulated
about the old fellows personal
appearance and manners, as we'll
as the location Of his place of busi-
ness, but nobody seems to know
exactly the straight of it. Per-
haps the testimony Of Esq. Job,
leading citizen and Justice Of the
Peace in the county Of Uz, is about
as reliable as anything on the mar
ket. Hear him:
"Now there was a day when the
sons Of God came to present them
selves before the Lord, and Satan
came also among them. And the
Lord said unto Satan,
Whence comest thou?' Then
Satan answered the Lord and said,
From going to and fro in the
earth, and from walking~up~> and
down in it,"
And so the devil goes in good
company and wears store clothes
He is also a member of the meet
ing-house and squirts ambear in
the amen corner. I have even
known him to occupy the pulpit,
and the way he can preach takes
all the starch out of the theologi-
cal cemeteries-excuse me, I mean
seminaries.
And the devil is a keen politi-
cian. He belongs to the Redemo-
can party and runs for office at
every election. And he always
gets elected. The devil is a per-
petual office-holder and is never
ont of a Job. He owns nearly all
the politics in the world, and most
Of the religion. He frowns On us
and we tremble.- He gives orders
and we. obey. He makes out a
ticket and we vote it. That's all
the sense we We got.
IF a good man enters politics the
devil sets all the political dogs on
him and tears him to pieces. And
if an honest party hangs out its
sign on the political highway
the devil trains all the artillery Of
hell on it in an effort to destroy
it. And the Redemocan voters
whoop it up for the devil and re-
joice in his success. That s all the
sense they've got. A few have
learned better, and others are
learning. How about you?
And the devil is a great business
man. Rich?-just hush Johndee
and the rest can't hold him a light.
He owns all of them, just like they
own us. He'll is the home office,
and Wall Street is the American
branch. Europe is the fertile field
where they raise hell for the mar
ket.
The cost of living is high, and
the cost of dying is not much low
er, but the people pay the freight
and the devil gets the money. Yes,
beloved, there seems to be devil,
all right, and if there is anything
on earth that he don't own and
operate, I've failed to discover it
up to the time of going to press.

SOAP is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking it's best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkaH This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless).
is cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and few
ounces will supply every member of
the family for months.

Adelaide Simmons tried to laugh
yet she flushed SO holly that the nat

cheeks. Il really don't remember"
she said, "but if you make the asser-
ton, I suppose it's true. No, Jack,

playfully, you see, my dear, that al

much younger you are than am, one
of the compensations that have at

And the best part of it is that a
woman of my years may accept atten-

Isabel did not see the necessity for
Johns accompanying his guests all
the way downstairs to the front door

he did so. And when he returned and

she would ignore his failings as he

had liked the dinner, glad that he was
satisfied, glad, most of all, that he had
not taken too much liquor this even

SUFFRACISTS SPOIL
WORK OF RECRUITING
BRITISH SOLDIERS
Sylvia Pankhurst Holds
Meetings in Opposition to
Recruiting Gathering in
Hyde Park.

LONDON, July 15.-Any one who at
tends the Sunday afternoon recruiting
meetings in Hyde Park must come
away with the idea that England Is a
kind and tolerant nation to her peo-
pie. On a recent Sunday these meet
ings had to be staged with the opposl-
ton not only of number of religious
outdoor orators, but of the suffragists
as WELL Miss Sylvia Pankhurst was
the leader of the latter.
The suffragist meeting was held
Just across short stretch OF the COM
mon from a stand on which wounded
soldiers from the front, together with
women and statesmen, were pleading
for recruits. And while the group led
by Miss Pankhurst did not actually
tell the men not to answer the call to
the flag, they advanced arguments In
which 1t was quite easy for any man
10 find an excuse for not DOMINIC
uniform.
Heckie Miss Pankhurst.
Abuse of the present political sys-
TENS of all the warning nations led up
to the statement that I'VE are waging
a war against war" and 1T Is not and
should not be the province of king
or an emperor to plunge his country
into war and then call upon the flow
err of the nations manhood to go and
be butchered in the name Of patriot
ism"
There were many in her audience
who did not agree with Miss Pank-
hurst and she was frequently inter
rupted with catcalls and Kisses, but
when she led up to the demand for
votes for women and predicted that
the gift of the franchise OF her sex
would stop all war at once she was
loudly cheered.
During the half hour following her
set speech the suffragist leader was
so beset in her effort to answer ques-
lions that a riot seemed imminent.
And the soldiers did most of the heck
ling. They wanted to know what
they were going to do for jobs when
they got back If women were given
their places, and they presented an
entirely new argument against the
granting of equal suffrage.
Say Women Would Rule.
It was this: That now most of the
able bodied men are going to the front
and being killed, so that If the vote is
granted here in this nation which al
ready has a preponderance of women
the women will rule absolutely
throug their numerical strength and
the men who have risked their lives
for the salvation Of the nation will
have no hand in governing the land
they have saved.
Miss Pankhurst was Of the opinion
on this point that the men might very
safely trust to the good judgement Of
the women even if the latter did as
sumo power.
Miss Pankhurst held her audience
we'll until a well-known tenor of the
music halls began to sing and her
auditors broke away in droves to join
in the choruses of his patriotic songs.

PESKy BED BUGS

Doctors declare that bedbugs
and other vermin are the most to
be feared means of spreading
such diseases as consumption,
spinal meningitis and other in
fectious troubles. There is no
disgrace in getting bedbugs in
your home, because that can't be
avoided, but it is a disgrace to
permit them to remain and
thrive when it is so easy to get
rid of them with the new chem
ical compound, P. D. O., which
actually puts an end to these
pesky devils.
A Million 6edbugs.
A 25-cent package of this gold
en- chemical will make a quart
of a mixture that is so deadly to
bedbugs that it would kill
million of them If you could get
that many together. If they
were as big as your hand it
would swat them just as well.
And not only the live ones, but
the future generations as we'll,
because once it hits the eggs
they are goners.
Cut This Out.
Your druggist has P. D. Q.
(Pesky Devils Quietus) and will
be glad to furnish it for 25 cents.
One 25-cent package makes
quart of the mixture and is equal
to a barrel of old-fashioned bug
killer. Some druggists may try
to sell you something else. Don't
accept a substitute. If your
druggist hasn't P. D. O., send us
his name and 25 cents and we
will send you a package postage
prepaid to your address.
Will Not Damage Goods.
P. D. @. will not injure deli
cate fabrics, clothing, carpets,
furniture, bedding, wall paper or

woodwork. In fact, it is often
used as a deodorizer and disin-
fectant.
Kills FIeas on Dogs.
If you have a pet dog who is
infested with fleas take little
P. D. @. mixture in your hand
and rub it into the fur Then
watch the fleas loop the loop
They will be deader than King
Solomon before they hit the
floor.
Chicken Lice Destroyer.
Have your chickens got lice?
Don't hesitate. Get 25-cent
package Of P. D. O., make gal
Ion Of lice-destroyer from it as
directed and then get busy in
the henhouse. It's so easy you'll
laugh and SO will the chickens.
By the way, did you ever see a
chicken laugh? Try this and
watch 'em.
For Ants and cockroaches.
The ants and cockroaches
stand as good a chance of sur
viving a treatment of P. D. @.
as a SNOWFALL in a justly famed
Heat Resort. 1t swats them and
their eggs with wallop that
puts their whole generation out
OF business. Use it on furs in
storage to kill and keep out
moths.
A Bedbug Spout.
Fvery package of P. D. @. con-
tains a patent spout that fits any
ordinary bottle. It will enable
you to reach the hard-to-get-at
places and save lots Of juice.
When buying look for the Devil
Heads on every package of P.
D. O., then you'll be sure to get
the genuine.-Sold by A. G.
Luken & Co.. and other leading
druggists.

 The history of the United States shows that the South the advocacy of measures that have spread the funercitizenshp of the United States Most of the Territories and States created by Congresses in which Southern leadership was promi nent And usually the South has not asked the poll tics of the peoples who have asked for Territorial or State governments It was Southern influence that ad mitted Colorado to the Upion in 1876 and thus made possible the defeat og the Democratic candidate for President n that year The enabling act for the crea ton of the States of Washington Montana and the Da kOtas was passed during the first Cleveland admins traton by Congress Of which John G.

 Alaska was granted her limited measure Of self government because the same Congress that initiated the State governments of Arizona and New Mexico passed the Wickersham bin and sent 1t to the Senate The only objections raised by southerners when the Alaska legislative bll making its way to law were from those who complained because of it's extremely limited form.
 southern Senator's and Representatives have al ways cooperated with those from the West when it came to making new States and Territories They fought for years to secure Territorial and then State govern meut for Oklahoma. They supported the measures for the creation of the Repubcan-made States of Idaho. Wyoming and Utah.

 The Department Of Commerce an- nounces that record prices were ob- taIned for both blue and white fox skins at the sale of governmental furs from Alaska, which took place at St. Louis last month.
