Twisten Terno, the contortionist was
to give his first performance in New
York that night.
The far-west had been astounded by
his feat of sitting ON his left ear and
whistling with his right.
The middle-west had gasped when he
rested the small of his back against
his chin and tied his ankles into a
bow-knot.
The near-west had been utterly flab-
bergasted when he parted his hair with
his toes, at the same time touching his
right ear with his left nose.
And now he was to try his fortune in
the great metropolisl In one more hour
the curtain at Skieff' Is Theatre would
rise on his act. King Of contortionists
though he knew himself to be, he felt
slightly nervous.
81 think I'll take a little walk to
steady my nerves." he thought. And he
walked along the jammed thoroughfares,
occasionally flinging back his right foot
with a nervous gesture to scratch the
back of his ear, until he realized that
he would have to ride back, or be late.
Hastily, he ran down the subway steps
and jumped into train.
1t was crowded and men, hanging to
straps and jammed into the aisle, were
twisted into positions the like of which
Twisten Terno had never imagined in
his widest dreams. They hung by the
ends of their mustaches onto straps,
reading their papers at an agnle of 90
deOreas. thew kent their balance in tha
most incredible positions by means of
their knuckles, teeth and eyebrows.
"And expected an audience in this
city to be surprised at met" shuddercd
Twisten Terno. And he rapidly jotted
down notes ON his cuffs and took the
next train for the south.

THE GREAT EXCHANGE
3 < *********** < Z Z < 5

At the First Baptist church Sunday
levening, DR.. G.. F. Holt preached on
the theme, ''The Great Exchange, a
lQuestion of Values" He took as his
text the words of Jesus recorded in
Matthew 1926 "For what is man
lprofited if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul, or what
shall man give in exchange for his
Isoul9"
He said in part: "Some one has call
led this earth s greatest business trans
faction, the greatest possible earthly
gain accompanied by the greatest pos
sihle loss. The loss is utterly past REIN
|edy and will soon render the gain use
less.
The question Of the market ,,ll.e,
and one of the most frequent questions
asked, is the question of values, VIII
it payf The text introduces a question
of values as regards life & cLoiee. We
are asked to choose, indeed must
choose between two investments of life.
"The soul is the part of our being
that pereeives God, responds to God
ouH spiritual or higher nature.
''Can we not have both the world
and eternal life? That depends. If we
choose the SOULS interest, the higher
life, God, we can.
eff we choose the world as the su-
preme object of our affection and leave
God out of our life or relegate Him to
a secondary place we cannot.
"The choice of the higher interests
of life includes the lower, the choice
of the lower deprives of the higher and
choicer.
"What would you think Of a young
man left heir to a large estate with
a beautiful homo locking the door of
the parlors and library, and music

and living in the kitchen gorging him

foolish. He would be wise compared to

morning by the supreme court. Among
them that of Z. NJ. Buttle respondent
against Douglas county appellant ap-

tiff. 1t was alleged by plaintiff in his
pleadings that the road was in dan
gerous condition, that the county court
knew this, but, that it failed to re-
pair the road or to issue warnings as
TO its dangerous condition. The county
set up that the plaintiff was guilty Of
contributory negligence. in that he did
not use sufficient care in informing
himself as to the conditions of the road,
and that he knew when he engaged
passage on the stage that the roads
generally were in bad and dangerous
condition at the time Of year.

plaintiff $1,000, and from this judgment
