Writer Complains That Too Few Are
Properly Familiar With the Pages
Of the Bible.

Bible-QuOting is all the more effec-
tive nowadays, as an influence in lit
0rature or oratory-at least when 1t is
pat and clever-for the fact that fewer
people know the book than formerly. In
spite Of the Sunday schools and the In
ternational Lessons, familiarity with
the Bible is becoming rarer.
Boys and girls go to Sunday school
all through their childhood and some
how come out of 1t unable to quote a
line from the Bible. And yet they are
sufficiently familiar with it to be able
to feel the force Of a quotation or an
illustration, and the rare individual
who knows his way through the pages
Of the book can easily catch their SYM
pathy.

New Meter successful.

The latest development in metering
appliances is coal meter built on the
principle Of water or gas meter. This
instrument was devised primarily to
measure the coal consumption of fac
tory boiler rooms, but 1t may find a
wider application on a smaller scale.
It operates on the same principle as
water meter, the stream of broken
coal pouring down chute and turn
ing an inclosed vane. The meter can
also be used for grain, according to the
inventor. Its use on coal was entirely
successful.

COWBOYS PLANNING
HUNT FOR BANDITS
WOULD CROSS THE BORDER ~
PURSUIT OF sLAYERs OF
THREE AMERICANS.
Leaders Expect to kAIse Force Of Five
Hundred Men and are Securing
Arms and Ammunition for
Expedition.

FL Paso, Texas.--The report Is cur
rent here that the cattlemen in the
Hachita district of New Mexico intend
to form punitive expedition of their
own to cross into Mexico and give
chase to the bandits who murdered
the three American cowboys on the
Corner ranch last week. 1t Is known
that Cattlemen have brought supplies
Of arms and ammunition here and
shipped them to Hachite. and that
much bitter talk has been heard from
them.
Lem Spillsbury, the Mormon scout
lately with General Pershing in Mex
leo, was said to be organizing posse
of this kind after the discovery OF the
dead bodies of his companions near
Corner ranch, but according to report,
gave up the idea because he could
not muster more than fifty men, and
there are about 500 of Villas followers
in the neighboring part Of Mexico.
The rumor had it that cattlemen
from all parts Of the southwest were
joining the expedition, which they
expected to be increased to about SOC
men.

Learn to Use Both Hands.

SO far as many Of the victims of,
the war are concerned, 1t would GER
Eainly seem that ambidexterity would
have been a blessing, remarks the
Medical Record. A man who can use
both hands in his work Is much less
helpless when he is disabled than one
who can use only his right hand.
When man has been bereft Of his
right arm and has to earn his living,
the question is raised in the vocation.
al homes whether to at him with an
artificial hand and teach him to use
this or train him In the use Of his left
hand. A great deal Of success has
been attained already In the training
Of disabled soldiers in the use of the
left hand, and unless the objections
brought against this can be sustained
by more conclusive evidence than any
that has yet been brought forward 1t
would seem to be decidedly preferable
in the majority Of cases to train the
left hand than to make the cripple de-
pendent upon an artificial hand.

London.-The Germans IN the Mir

the positions taken from them by the
British on Saturday, but their at

the British war office. Attacking in

At no place did the attacking forces

PLAN TO ABANDON
SPECIAL SESSION
PRESIDENT MAY BREAK PRE-.
cEDENT OF MORE THAN A
HUNDRED YEARS.
Would Avoid = Special Session Of the
Senate Unless an Extraordinary
Session OF the Whole Congress-
ID Necessary.

Washington.-President Wilson IL
considering breaking another pre-
cedent Of more than . hundred years
standing by not calling the custom
airy special session OF the senate inn
mediately at the beginning of his new
term.
Inauguration arrangements, already
much upset by the fact that March 4
falls on Sunday, may be further dis
arranged by the abandonment of the
special session, which In measure
would change entirely the method OF
ceremonies Of inaugurating the vice
president.
The presidents purpose, as under
stood at the capitol, Is to avoid o
special session of the senate unless
IN extraordinary session of the whole
congress is necessary at the same
time. The senate called in special
session, as is the custom, to confirm
appointments of cabinet members
and others, would be powerless to
legislate to any purpose alone, but
there would be nothing to prevent the
body from remaining in session as
long as 1t pleased. and discussing any
subject it chose. The understanding
at the capitol is that such a stu
alton was to be avoided If possible.
Abandonment Of the special session
would do away with the usual cere
mony of inaugurating the vicepres
ident in the senate chamber in the
presence of both houses Of congress
the diplomatic corps, the supreme
court and other dignitaries. It woulC
eliminate exactly one-half of the of
Hcial ceremony Of Inauguration day.
