THE PASSING OF THE CIRCUIT

The road was lonely and rough and

fast descending night. Not a house or
a soul was in sight, save the lone
traveller who trudged onward over the
rocks and up the steep inclinec.
The place was the Ozarks of Mis-
souri,. and the man, Rev. j. L. Finley
is technically Circuit rider" but in
reality he is circuit walker, because
he is too poor to buy a horse, and his
salary is too small to allow him to hire
a conveyance. On $400 per year he
supports wife and four children. He

The shepherd looked into the faces
of his people, and saw there a need
of sympathy and encouragement and
love, and he began to talk to them as
one would talk to children, of the SIM
pie gospel of Christ's love to men.
When he was through he gave an in.

MEN WHO FEAR OPPORTUNITY

In the February American Magazine
Hugh ). Fullerton says:
Thousands of us who are making
fairly comfortable livings for families
pass plain turning points, refusing to
turn or to attack the opening, through
sheer timidity. There is no class so
timid as the man with a family, who
refuses to change because he fears he
will risk the small sum he has accumu-
lated to educate the children and pro-
vide for the family in case of his
death. Ninety-nine out OF one hundred
men in this class keep straight ahead
when they see turning point clearly"

Aeroplanes Pursue and
WGrships Fire on SaIoniki
Zeppelin Without Success

Saloniki. Feb. 3. via Paris. - The
Zeppelin which on Tuesday bombarded
Saloniki was of very large dimensions.
After making a wide detour of the city
il began its operations by dropping five
bombs, which fell into the sea. The
warships opened fire on it, but after
fourteen shots were obliged to cease
for fear of wounding the population,
which was now filling the streets. The
raiders missed the next target, but tore
a woman to pieces and wounded a
small boy.
Another bomb set fire to warehouses
filled with fats, oils, benzine and sugar.
Meanwhile the Zeppelin continued to
rain down its missiles of destruction.
Flames from the blazing warehouses
lighted up the whole harbor with a red
glow, against which stood out the
white sails of the coasting ships, flee
ing under all canvas.
Fast aeroplanes rose in pursuit of
the Zeppelin, while British, French,
Italian and Russian sailors operated
a fireboat at a wharf and poured tor
rents of water on the fire. The bombs
thrown from the Zeppelin weighed
about 100 pounds and were dropped
from height estimated at 1000 feet.

TRAIN HAS BUSY
 DAY IN COLORADO
Prohibition Orators Elocute in Many Towns on Many Sub- jects and Still the Demon Rum Lives On.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

COLORADO SPRINGS. Sept 26.- All four national candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties i were heartily arraigned for their atti- tude on the liquor question: by J. Frank Hanly today when the Prohibi- tion train started its two day tour of dry Colorado. Ira Landrith. Hanly's running mate, also scored Wilson.
 Hanly flayed Wilson for his failure to state whether. the California vets were representing him correctly as being opposed to phohibition; declar- ed that as a result of having obtained the repeal of the local option laws in blood on his hands; assailed Hughes for not coming to the aid of the dry forces and urged Coloradoans to demand an expression from Fair banks On the liquor question when he enters the state tomorrow. Most of Hanly's fire was directed at Wilson in connection with the Presidents declaration yesterday that this na- tions timidity in the face of foreisn competition was all that he ever had been ashamed of in America.
 Here we have it at last, from the Presidents own lips" Hanly declared at Trinidad. He is not ashamed of the alcohol liquor traffic with its de bauchery. it's intimidation, it's harm and it's civic corruption.
 And the Democratic candidate for vice president is even worse. As gov ernor of Indiana, he sent an executive rressage to the general assembly im- ploring it to repeal the county local option law. under which seventy-two counties out of the ninety-two in the state had stood dry and eliminated 5000 saloons. on the ground that as governor of the state he was unable to enforce the law.
 Upon his recommendation the law was repealed and 2,000 licensed sa' looms returned to the state. There is blood on ms nanus. ualhuei SPo' that will not out"
 "Mr. Fairbanks will come and go without telling you where he stands Hanly told his audience.
 Raton. N M., had the first speech today. Entering Colorado, stops were made at Trinidad, La Junta, Rocky Ford. Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The train will stop in Salida, Lead vile. Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction tomorrow, leaving here early in the morning.
 Colorado will vote this fall on proposal to permit the sale of beer within the state on the theory that it is lon-.ntoxicating.

Commission Gets Down to Actual Consideration of Cooperation Plan for First Time in Conference.
(By Review Leased Wire)

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. e. The revision of American neutrality laws, with a view to discouraging Am ericans from participating in Mexican factional conflicts was suggested at the conference of the Mexican-Ameri- cam joint commission today. It was indicated that Mexico would be able to deal more effectively with rebels and ordinary bandits or outlaws if the neutrality laws were amended in our country to make it an offense for an American citizen to participate in any way in a movement against a govern ment with which the United States is at peace.
 The discussion of the neutrality laws of both countries was incident to consideration of plans for the CO., operation of the authorities of both countries in maintaining peace along the border.
 Mexico's Alibi
 The Mexicans charged that the in- adequacy of the American neutrality laws made possible the propaganda of revolutions on American soil against the established government in Mexi- co. The consideration of operation of neutrality laws was not confined to those facts. however.
 Both Charge Killings
 The American commissioners sub- mitted list of border raids that had been compiled by the war department The Mexican commissioners counter ed by the presentation of another list specifying instances where American soldiers or civilians had crossed the boundary into Mexico. This list also contained instances where Mexican nationals were said to have lost their lives and property on American soil.
 At Work At Last
 It was said that today's session was the first of a series in which it was expected the suggested form of CO., operation between the two govern ments in preventing border disturb ances would be considered.
 Two more sessions will be held here but without Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican commission. Business in Boston made it necessary for him to go there late today.
 Mining Men Are Heard
 The American members of the com mission studied a long memorandum today submitted by a group of mining men, relative to conditions in Mexico that, they claim, are such as to make perilous the resumption of mining op- erations.
