The name of the wife in paren-
theses opposite the name of the hus-
band in the city directory may be a
feature of the next Toledo directory,
as a means of reducing the matrmo-
NAL litigation in this country. In
many small cities names are run in
that manner. Having the wife's name
in the directory with her husbands
makes it bad for the married man that
tells a chance acquaintance he is
single.

Throughout the entire system Of ed
ucation In our country, mt private and
public institutions, alike, stress Is laid
upon athletics to a degree that some
times indicates n tendency to exalt
the athlete above the student. While
this may be transitory in its nature
so far as 1t affects the individual, 1t
Is likely TO leave something Of perma-
nent effect on the school itself. Ira
ditions are part Of student life, and
form n potent agency whose influ-
ence on campus activities Is beyond
computation. Educators recognize
this and now and again have been
called upon to put forth considerable
effort to neutralize the bent Of the
young mind to hero worship. Some
times this restriction swings little
too fur and the school suffers In de-
gree just as the restrictive measures
are made unduly stringent.

Emperor Franz Joseph, has been abol-

that civilians received in the future

THE BIBLE


This book contains the mind efI
God. The state Of man. The way
of salvation, the doom OF sinners
and the happiness believers. Its
doctrines are holy. Its precepts are
binding. Its histories are true.
And its decisions are immutable
Read it to be wise. Believe it to be
safe and practice it to be Holy. 1t
contains light to direct you, food to
support you and comfort to cheer
YOU. It's the traveller map, the Pill
grim's staff, the Pibt's compass, the
soldiers sword and the Christian s
charter. Here Paradise is restored,
Heaven opened and the gates OF Hell
disclose Z.
Christ is its grand subject, our
good its design and the glory Of God
its end. Read it slowly, frequently,
prayerfully. It's mine OF wealth,
a Paradise of Glory and a river Of
pleasure. It is given you in life, will
be opened at the judgment and be
remembered forever. Itinvolves the
highest responsibility, will reward
the greatest labor and condemn all
who trifle with its sacred contents.
/ do sincerely hope that men and
women will read the above and re-
member we are living here in pre-
paratory state for Eternity and the
Bible is our guide here and we will
be Judged out of the same in Eternity
The ak is laid unto the root OF the
trees. Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down and
cast into the fire. Matt. 3 I'd. Chap.
10th verse.
How can we, bear thesfruit by be-
ing grated in the true vine? | am
the true vine and my Father is the
husbandman. est. John, 18th Chap.
Is. verse. Every Christian man and
woman that are in the church OF
Christ today are the branches and
if we abide in him the same bring
eth forth much fruit. ST. John, 18th
chap. 9Th verse. So after we have
been grated in to the true vine what
shall we do if we love me keep my
commandments. John, l4th chapter
18th verse. We are commanded to
love our enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate
you and pray for them which de-
spltefully use you and persecute you
that we may be the children of your
Father which is in Heaven. Matt.
9Th chap. 44-45 verses. And so if we
want TO become fishers OF men let us
cast our net on the right side of the
hip. St. John, 2lst chap. 9Th verse.
And when we show our love to the
world they realize that we love tn cir
souls, we can expect to win them for
Christ. Read Matthew, 7th chapter,
beginning at Oath verse to the 28th
that we may be more prayerful,
more obedient to the commands tina
Christ has given US through his will
that he made to man and sealed 1t
with his own precious blood, and
the same came into effect when
Christ, the testator, died.
Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy
soul and with all thy mind. This is
the first great commandment and
the second is like unto it, Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself On
these two commandments hang all
the Law and the Prophets Matthew
22d chap. 3741 verses.

There are tendencies of the age
that every true man should resist; not
to overwhem them, perhaps, but to
confine them to their proper sphere.
For instance, the tendency toward
amusements has gone mad. 1t is all
right within reason, but it goes be-
yond reason and holds itself out as
the main purpose in life. Many peo-
pie are not happy unless they are
amused They scarcely have room
for serious thought. The reality of
the ideal is not inside their compre-
hension. They abuse sports, shows,
dances. cards, ETC., by making them
the end of life. Such a course de-
stroys personality and the public
spirit. No man or woman who be-
lieyes in true progress or has a re-
spect for religion will train in that
habit They will be positive for the
right, the good and the pure. The sin
of the age is the lack Of noble ideals
and the fear of standing up for them.

no! The Dummy" raised his eyes and
his right hand solcmnly heavenward

Never again." he had said in his

THE Dummy" was tried on a grand
larceny charge after M. NJ. Conlon, a
vendor Of safes, had informed the po-
lice that STOPPED rolled him. STOPPED
did not deny that he took Conlon's
watch while the safe salesman was
lying in an alley drunk. but he in
sisted. in dumb show. that he only
wanted to protect Conlon from thieves.
All Of Stoppers testimony was given
In pantomime. Probably no Montana
court ever accepted such evidence be-
fore. In Stoppel's case it was .neces-
sary. The man is deaf and dumb and
can neither write nor use any recog-
nized sign language. His pantomimic
testimony was translated by A. A.

Consent of Administration
All That Stands Between
Hope and Reality.
CONGRESS REVERSES
Understood President Is
Strongly Opposed to Plan
Advanced by Colonel.

Washington, May 1.-THE way was
cleared in congress today for Colonel
Roosevelt, If he is given authorization
by the administration to raise a d.
vision of volunteers for service in
France.
Reversing its previous action and
over riding the conference committee
on the army draft bill. the house voted
els to IFS. to empower the president to
extend authority for recruiting such a
division. This sent the army bill back
to conference. but the senate already
had adopted a similar authorization
during original consideration of the
measure and it's conferees are expected
| to agree quickly to 1t now.
Whether the necessary authority
will be given Colonel Roosevelt by the
administration Is problematical. The
army general staff, whose advice Pres
idcnt Wilson has followed closely in
the conduct of the war is strongly OPP
posed to such a plan. declaring volun-
teer units of that character have no
place in the great war army.
The house voted the authorization
after a strong debate. Representative
Anthony led the fight for the colonel,
moving to recommit the army bill to
conference with instructions to accept
the senate's Roosevelt amendment.
Chairman Dent of the military COM
mittee and many other Democrats and
Republicans fought against the pro-
posal. Forty-five Democrats and four
Independents We're among those who
voted for it. and there We're so Repub-
lican votes against it.
When the action of the house was
reported to the senate. Chairman
Chamberlain Of the military commit
tee, withdrew the conference report for
revision and announced that the con-
ferees would meet Monday. The bill
with the amendment included is ex-
pected to receive final conference ap-
prevail without delay and go to the
president for his signature by the
middle Of the week.

RAILROAD PLANNING
TO USE MORE WOMEN
Northern Pacific to Enlarge
Field of Their
Activities.
TO r Ell E AS E MALES
Among New Positions Will
Be Some Requiring
y Strength of Body.
TO REL E ASE MALES

There is a chance for every Missou-
Ia woman, who is strong and able to
! work, to be another Mollie Piper,
though she won't have to handle a
gun. The Northern Pacific is plan
ming a campaign to place as many
women as possible in the different de-
partments of railroad service, in order
that the maximum number of males
may be released for service in the mil
itary forces of the country. Sometime
ago an order was issued requesting
that women be hired as clerks at the
railroad offices, and, in fact, in any
other position which it was thought
they were capable of filling. This or
der has been compiled with to the let
ter, and already n number of women
have been placed in positions formerly
occupied by men. This order, how
ever applied only to general clerical
work. and lighter duties about the Of
fees of the railroad system.
Field Is Extended.
Now. however, the campaign has
been extended. The railroad company
is anxious to make a beginning in Sc
curing female help for the roundhouses,
the yards and the depot and will ac-
cept applications for any and all of the
positions which it is thought that
women will be capable of handling.
Women are wanted to wipe engines, to
sweep out around the roundhouses, to
clean coaches, supply ears, and many
other tasks which the officials believe
that they can perform as efficiently rs
men. The railroad officials state that
the women will be paid the same sal
airy as the men for their work, and will,
Of course be required to work only
eight hours.
Railroad officials believe that in the
near future it will be utterly impossible
for the roads to operate without the
assistance of women, who have
stepped, figurativcly speaking. into the
boots of the men employees who have
been called to arms.
1t is thought that there are a num-
bcr of women in Missoula who will be
| glad to accept such employment, once
| they know that the railroad is willing
| to accept their services.
