Trenton. N. j.. Jan. 4.-Billy Sunday
bounded from the carpet of his plat
form to the top Of his pulpit. His fist
shot ssi = IA tho aiI. iis leg stood out at
an angle like ballet dancers.
"Stand up for Fod, you Trenton peo-
pie" he cried In his hoarse. grating
voice.
Every man and woman in the crude.
raw tabernacle rose to their feet. Their
eyes were fastened on the 1.-the dra-
matte little figure tense there beneath
the flaming arc light.
Am I for preparedness? Hh! You
bet your sweet life! believe in the
biggest battlesbtp, and the biggest tor
pedo that can spit $50 pounds of gun
cotton and turn a battleship into a
bunch Of junk. Yet, I believe in pre-
paredness with big p. And I'm not
democrat, either" he said.
''In these days God must have his
ksoldiers who will stand pat and four
square with him and for truth; he
wants men. God hates the mutt, the
mollycoddle and the fourflusher. Lots
Of people spar well, they have the wind,
but they lack the punch.
"In these days when hell is arrayed
against Heaven, God must have men.
And every man will have to prove he's
either a patriot or a traitor You've
got to be Gods grenadier or mutt.
Speaking on the worth of the "unre-
lenting, binding OATH" he told his ia
miliar story of Herod and Salome.
King Herod was having blowout
in the palace and the gang was soused,
he cried. "They had load that would
sink battleship. Then in came that

she wanted. She went to her mother
and said: Ma, Herod says can have

and that old hag of a mother hated
John the Baptist. He had dared to re-
proach her for her sin. So she said:
Take the head Of John the Baptist on

"That dancing girl asker Herod for

Waste become profitable as you get
it together. And when so gathered
it should be used for a good purpose
as standing object lesson that waste
conserved is profit earned"
Here is a junk story from the far
east: A Japanese rag man of excel
lent speech and manner has been max
ing a canvass, offering to buy all the
old junk offered. Instead of pay
ing cash he gives a coupon good at a
certain bank, where it must be left
untouched for a certain number OF
years.
Upon investigation the ragman
turned out to be a former superin-
tendent of Yokohama police and man
ager of a large dock corporation in
terested in teaching its people the
proper use of junk.
Junk money is apt to be regarded
as easy money" and spent foolishly.
While it is easy money, it should be
conserved to usefulness and not vast
ed. The school teacher uses one
method, the japanese junk man anoth-
er, but both tending in the right dl-
rection We can teach our children
no better lesson than to avoid waste,
but avoiding all possible waste to so
use the junk that it will prove last
ing benefit. Save your junk and save
the money your junk turns in.

ABOUT JUNK.

The waste in every household is
considerable. Part is unavoidable
waste and part is necessary waste. AL
together too much food goes into the
garbage can. Clothes are not taken
care Of, are not pressed or mended,
or hung up when not in use and so
become shabby long before their use
tuIness is ended. Shoes that with a
little mending would go many a mile
are thrown out, and throughout the
house there is waste. The attic bears
bears testimony to this fact.
Waste that is waste should not be
boarded. but turned into profit. Old
rubber, rags. iron, can be turned into
many an honest penny. and clothing
that has served its day may be sold TO
second hand dealers glad to get such
articles.
The conservation Of household
waste affords a living for thousands Of
people. The junk man is usually a
leading citizen, well housed and well
fixed The privilege Of trimming"

York 10 sea is worth millions annual
Nv. Il makes millionaires And the
waste that finds its way TO garbage

right idea. Every spring she asks
the children to bring 10 the school the
worn out rubbers OF the winter. and
from the proceeds she buys pictures

Gold Saves Teacher Money.

Berlin.-The testimony of the ply
stefan of "Schoolteacher b. that the
teacher had an affection of the head
which made it imperative that he
should guard it from cold drafts has
saved the unfortunate man from fine
of 10 marks which had been laid upon
him in disciplinary process.
The crime alleged was that the
teacher had not lifted his hat high
enough nor swung it outward far
enough enough in greeting a superior,
a director of the school where he was
teaching. The director, who was ak
ing a walk with Professor e. met
the defendant and his wife and greeted
them courteously. After they had
passed on, the professor called the at
ton of the director to the fact that the
teacher had lifted his hat lin a very
negligent fashion," The matter came
to the ears Of the provincial author
tiles. who fined the teacher 10 marks
for having greeted his superior neg
ligently, in violation of a law OF July
q, 1852.
School teacher B" appealed to the
court. He declared that he had not
given his hat the usual swing" be-
cause OF an affection of the head
which, as the day was very cold, COM
PEELED him to take precautions against
letting cold draft strike him. His
physician corroborated this testimony,
and the fine was cancelled.

THE oLD-FAsHIoNED LOVE.

A popular motion picture actress
wonders what has become of the
old fashioned love where the women
were good and the men chivalrous and
noble?'
The modern youth is as keenly an
alytical of his affections as the chief
chemist of an industrial plant" she
says He seeks a report of the finan-
Col condition of his prospective bride.
To him, beauty, charm, femininity is
nothing Cupid must carry gold in his
culver. Venus must be fairly smoth
cred with riches"
We don't believe it, says the Spring
field News-Record.
This actress is doing what every
one is inclined to do-judging the
world by the little circle of people
with whom she associates. Like the
hen who thought the barnyard con-
stituted the universe, she makes a
report upon slight information.
There is just as much true love to-
day as there ever was in the history
of the world. There are fewer mer-
cenary marriages now than ever. The
time when marriage was openly a
bargaining for gold has passed, Men
and women, in America at least, mar
ry for love in the great majority of
cases.
And the women are good and the
men are chivalrous and noble.
There isn't so much false modesty
on the part of women, but false mod
esty is not an evidence of goodness
There isn't so much palaver and ele-
gance of manner on the part of the
men, but palaver and elegant man
ners are not evidences of noble char
acter.
The pessimistic actress should open
her eyes and look about her. Prob
ably she has failed to see even her
frivolous and money-mad associates
as they really are down deep in their
hearts.
