Here's a Tip About Hotel Guests.

In the American Magazine writer says: Here's funny thing, by the way. that I've noticed about hotel guests: You leave a soiled towel In room and the guest will probably com plain. But you can leave a bucket of paint and q paper-hanger's scaffOld ID the hallway, and compel tbe guest to crawl under a stepladder to get to his room and he will put up with 1t cheer fully-because he knows you are paint ing or papering by way of making an improvement. and he is in sympathy with that. It doesn't cost much to make over a carpet so that bare spot in front, of the dresser will be elimi- mated, but such little details are vast help in making hotel prosper"

l and Sln, when It IS nnlSne0, bringeth forth death. James I-14:15. And this same rule would apply to the devil. Question No. 4: How did the devil get into heaven, since we are told that no unclean thing can enter there? The devil never entered heaven as devil. Had he have been a devil to be- gin with, he could not have en- tered heaven. As 1 stated be- fore, the devil was made pure and holy in the beginning like everything else that God made, but he was tempted and drawn away by his own lust and en- ticed" and by the power of Choice he chose to do evil in re- belling against God, and this very thing caused him to be cast out of heaven, for God could not suffer an 'unclean," rebelious devil to remain in heaven. Heaven did not generate" the devil, any more than the Garden of Eden generated" the sin of Adam. Man, what is the mat ter with your eyes anyhow?
 Question No. 5: Which one of the devils is the oldest, the one who caused the Prince of the Power of the Air to sin or the one who fell out of heaven that caused Adam and Eve to sin? l don't see why he didn't ask me where the devil was in the time of the flood! 1 have no certain way of finding out the ages of the different devils, unless l could look into their mouths or count the wrinkles on their horns. Some time when l am over at Denning, 1 will try to ex- anime same devil there if can find one, and answer question No. 5.
 Question No. 6: Science, Cause and Effect. As God made everything good, and there could not be an effect without a cause, what cause caused the devil? The cause that caused the devil was his own disobedience and re- bellion against God. This made him an enemy, an opposer, an adversary, a devil, and a prince of all other devils, and the old est" devil, but as l said before l have no certain way of telling his exact age.
 Now 1 have answered all of the Dening lnquirer's questions but one, and I will try to answer that one after I go to Denn!ng again
 Now, turn about is fair play. 1 want to ask the Inqnirer some questions and 1 will thank him in advance for an early answer.
 1. Christ said, II saw Satan falling from heaven as light ming" Do you believe this statement? If you do, how could the devil fall from place where he had never been?
 ?. Is the devil person or is he only a principle?
 3: Is there any devil at all?
 4. If you answer in the affim- ative. then where did he come from and who made nim?
 5. Do you believe, or pretend to believe, in the inspiration of the bible?

Nevada, Sept. 5.-The stage is all
set for the trial Of Guam Sue, the
Ch:naman, for the alleged murder Of
his countryman. Ding Lee, found dead
in his laundry room in Story City on
Feb. 90 last.
After the opening statements had
been made by County Attorney Lang
land for the State and Attorney Welty
for the defense, the work of empanel-
ing the jury began. This may take all
Of today.
1t will be a hard fought legal battle.
Since the crime was committed in Feb
ruary the county attorney, aided by
the state attorney generals office, has
been working on the case and since the
arrest of Guam Sue in Butte. Mont,
month afterwards they have been busy.
County Attorney Langland will be
assisted by Special Prosecutor King
dig from the attorney generals office
and a former county attorney from
Sioux City.
Scores of Cinnamon have been here
since the crime and interested them
selves in the case. Both Guam Sue ana
his mother, who is in San Francisco
have been converted to the Christian
religion aand they are in the bad
graces of the Chinese.
Condemned by Chinese.
\ few weeks ago representative OF
thu Guam tong of San Francisco was
here. Following his return to Frisco
there appeared in a Chinese paper
with a circulation among the Chinese
all over the country severe arraiSn-
ment and indictment Of Guam Sue
branding him as a bad man. charging
him with the murder of one OF their
brothers and warning all members OF
the Guam clan to refrain from aiding
in his defense.
Guam Sue has been in the county jail
here tor five months, most OF the time
alone. He has remained in apparent
good spirits, seems contented, eats ana
sleeps well, is growing fat and does not
appear to realize anything serious IN
the charge against him.
He receives many letters and his
daily Chinese papers. He reads them
and follows the war and other news.
He firmly denies his guilt but re-
trains from talking about himself or
the crime. He has made no move to-
ward escape He has been watched
