THE Quality of the Bible"
by Sidney c. Tapp, Phi. B. Kan
sas City, Mo, is frank and
honest discussion of the sex of
the Bible. 1t shows that the
Bible is a book of sex and a
book of Spirit, and that the evil
of the human race is within the
sex.
Its purpose is to show the aw-
full destructive force of the sin
of lust, The Author presents
the Biblical contention that the
insane asylums, jails and hos
pitfalls of the world are filled as
the result of lust. The Bible
is his authority and he has
made out his case. This book
should be in the hands of every
Sunday School teacher, minister
and father and mother in this
land. 1t is sold only to adults.
Price $2.00. 1t can be secured
by addressing the Author, Kan

whom were associates of Miss Zola's,
acted as her pallbearers, which was
very unique. This is the first double
funeral that the writer and others ever
witnessed in Lincoln among our race.
And the fact of witnessing two cas-
kets side by side in the church and
two auto hearses in the funeral pro-
cession was certainly sad sight. An
overwhelmed crowd of friends and
spectators crowded the Church to pay
last respects to the dead. Floral of
ferings from friends were profuse.
The husband and the family have the

LABOR DAY TOAST.
Roscoe G. Jamison.

We II drink to the men who wear the blue
No. no, Brave Soldier not to you
| know your deeds deserve our praise,
And you get it in so many ways.
Great monuments are built to you
That will last the passing centuries through;
In private home and public hall
Your name is honored there by all!
They whom toast may never have broke
Through binding clouds of battle smoke,
May never have heard the awful guns,
Nor seen the crimson tide that runs
May never have stood for single day
Waiting the word to front the fray.
Yet we'll know I that one and all
Have heard and needed Duty's call,
Making to blossom as rose
The country you protect from foes.
In mines they dig the coal and ore;
They sweat before the furnace door
In every hour the weekdays bring
We hear their busy hammers ring
On buildings, raising iron beams,
Flowing, and driving wagon teams.
In the mills and on the trains,
Wherever are needed Drawn and brains,
These heroes go working away
From early morn till close of day. .t
And some go forth on the verge of night
To labor till the morning light.
Yet be their hours short or long,
We oft may hear the low hummed song
So here's to the brave, the strong, the free, ''
The dauntless Knights of Industry
Without whom any nation falls,
Without whom civilization crawls,
For whom progress calls,
The men who wear the overalls

NEGROES.
RESOLVED, That the American
Federation of Catholic Societies deep
ly and painfully impressed by recent
outbreaks of mob violence and lynch
ings against our negro population de-
plores the existence of racial hatred
in our midst and commends to the
authorities and people Of the United
States a humane and just and SYM
pathetic consideration of the needs
and conditions of the colored people
and in their behalf demands such gov
ernmental action as will secure their
natural rights and constitutional guar
antees.
This resolution was intrusted to the
care of Bishop Joseph Schrembs of
Toledo, Ohio, by Captain L. c. Vale,
Chief of the Colored Roman Catholic
Bureau, Chicago, I'll. 1t was Bishop

erous tributes
In his memoirs. General Phil
Sheridan speaks Of Mosby's opera
lions In the Shenandoah Valley. He
make no complaint Of the ColonsTS
method of fighting. but, on the con-
trary. says: He was the most for
midabls partisan met In the war
General Grant said Of him: "Hs

truthful. There were probably bat
few men In the South who could
have commanded a detachment In
the rear Of an opposing army. aad

long as he did. without losing his

United States Department of Jus

President Roosevelt. and was abla

IN May 81. 1915. there died in
Washington a man who had
lived long enough to see the
attitude of a great part OF his coun-
try change completely in regard to
the judgment passed upon him and
bis career nifty years earlier.
That man was Colonel John Sin
gleton Mosby, whose name. during
the Civil war was only too familiar
to Northern ears. He was the most
celebrated OF the guerilla leaders on
the Southern side. More than once
4 price was set on his head. but he
always vigorously defended. himself
from the charge of having followed
any but regular methods OF war.
He delighted In pointing out that,
while he undoubtedly had been the
inspiration and leader in many sue
cessful raids on the enemies eoun-
try-the most famous of which was
his capture OF General Stoughton-
he was after all only doing what
Sheridan, Pleaston and ericsson
were doing on a grand scale.
Colonel AeGby was practising law

in a small Southern town when the
call to arms came. He at once en-
listed as a private. But even in that
humble capacity. his merits were
soon recognized by General Robert
z. Lee in an order of the Day. Pro-
motion speedily followed. and Mosby
soon found himself at the head OF .
command which while it never con-
sisted OF more than two or three
hundred men. soon made a reputa-
ton for daring and bravery.
The adventures of their leader
would all a large volume. Even be-
fore a price was actually put on his
head. he had many narrow escapes
from being captured.
There Is a story that once when
he had approached so close to
Washington that the Capitol was
even in sight. he cut OF a lock of
his hair and asked a passing woman
to give It to Mr.. Lincoln with his
compliments. There Is no record OF
the President having received It.
Perhaps the woman kept 1t for her

TAVIE you ever found that the

NINA HARKER,s JOURNAL

NINA HARHER'S JOURNAL.
"a July. Whitby.-Lucy met me at
the station, looking sweeter and love-
Tier than ever, and we drove up to the
house at the Crescent in which they
have rooms. This Is a lovely place.
The little river, the Esk, runs through
deep valley, which broadens out as
It comes near the harbor. A great via
duct runs across. with high piers,
through which the view seems some
how further away than it really Is.
The valley is beautifully green, and It
is so steep that when you are on the
high land on either side you look right
across II, unless you are near enough
to see down.
The houses of the old town-the
side away from us-are all red-roofed,
snd seem piled up one over the other
anyhow, like the pictures we see Of
Nuremberg. Right over the town Is
the ruin OF whItby Abbey, which was
sacked by the Danes. and which Is the
scene OF part OF ''Marmion," where the
girl was built up in the wall. 1t Is a
most noble ruin, OF immense size, and
full OF beautiful and romantic bits;
there is a legend that a white lady is
seen in one OF the windows.
Between It and the town there is an
other church. the parish one, round
which is a big graveyard, all full of
tombstones. This Is to my mind the
incest spot in whitby. for it lies right
over the town, and has a full view
OF the harbor and all UP the bay to
where the headland called Kettleness
stretches out into the sea. 1t descends
so steeply over the harbor that part
OF the bank has fallen away, and some
OF the graves have been destroyed. In
one place part OF the stonework Of
the graves stretches out over the
sandy pathway far below. There are
walks, with seats beside them. through
the churchyard, and people go and sit
there all day long looking at the beau
tiful view and enjoying the breeze.

myself and work. Indeed, l am writ

men who are sitting beside me. They
seem to do nothing all day but sit UP

The harbof lies below me, with,
on the far side. one long granite
wall stretching out into the sea, with
a curve outward at the end OF it, in
the middle OF which is a lighthouse.
a heavy sea-wall runs along outside
of it. On the near side. the sea-wall
makes an elbow crooked inversely,
and it's end, too. has a lighthouse.
Between the two piers there is a mar
row opening into the harbor, which
then suddenly widens.
1t is nice at high water; but when
the tide is out 1t shoals away TO
nothing, and there is merely the
stream of the Esk, running between
banks OF sand with rocks here and
there. Outside the harbor on this
side there rises for about half a mile
a great reef. the sharp edge of which
runs straight out from behind the
south lighthouse.
At the end OF 1t is a buoy with a
bell, which swings in bad weather.
