Camp Hancock, Ga. April with
the month of April here. officers and
men at Camp Hancoclsa are looking
forward to the return of the reg-
mental commanders from the western
training camps, where they have
been during the past two and a half
months. The news of their return
Is being looked forward to daily, al
though it is probable that another
week or fortnight will elapse before
even an announcement is made.
There are eight of the Camp Han
cock "colonels" in the west. All left
to attend the officers training school
at Fort Sam Houston. Texas. They
are: Colonel George c. Richards, One
Hundred ana Twelfth Infantry; Colo
mel George Il. Kemp. One Hundred and
Tenth Infantry; Colonel Edward c.
shannon, One Hundred and Eleventh

tillery; Colonel William Mckee. One
Hundred and Seventh Field Artillery;
Colonel Asher Miner. One Hundred
and Ninth Field Artillery, and Colo

On their return to the camp the
officers will assume command of the.
regiments which they left in the
command of their lieutenant colo

Finney. He will assume his new COM

North America has not yet learn
ed that the war is certain to throw
into the discord most of the milli-
merry and etiquette and minor usages
and incidental trimmings of church
life. In this purging experience re-
ligton becomes stif1ed to reality.
Seen by the glare of the. star-shells
on the battlefelds of France, de-
nominational distinctions seem
strangely petty; while essential re-
ligion looms ever so great. Some per-
sons will find it hard to give up the
incidental ceremonies of religious
practice; for always, as in the case
of the old Jews, religion tends to
petrify into forms and ceremonials,
even where the substance has be-
come non existent.
The dirtiest spot on earth known
to me is the present town of Tiber-
las on the shore of the Lake of Gal
lice. Its filth is memorable even aft

oriental communities. Two sects of
a-orthodoX Spanish Jews make
Tiberias their headquarters, MAIN
tanning schools of the rabbis there.
The curls hanging in front of the
ears and the distinctive. raiment of
the tradition observing Jew are
more marked in Tiberias than any
where else in the whole land. Here

Oil Makes Country
School Teacher Rich

EIdOradO, Kan.-From a poor
struggling country school teacher to
possessor of S125,0O0 is the leap
Charles Buskirk made when he sold
his one-sixteenth interest in the
Great Southern Oil Company. which
has valuable holdings in western
Greenwood County, to Jones
Brothers, of Independence, Kan, for
that sum.
Jones Brothers control the Great
Southern Oil Company, owning fif-
teen-siXteenths of the stock. They
sold one-half interest III the COM
pany to the Tidal Company for S2,-
100000. The company was produc-
ing wells on the Hull and Gregg
Stanhope farms near Rosalia.
Buskirk located the Great South
ern's first we'll on the Hull, which
came in last fall, and has held up
at about 200 barrels ever since. For
that and work in obtaining leases in
that part of the county he was given
a one-siXteenth interest.

Woman Thought Dead
Sees Coffin Brought
Into Room; Is Saved

Woodland, Cal.-Had it not been
for a colored nanny" who detect
ed signs of life, Mrs. Gustav KunZe
would have been buried alive. Con-
valescent after an operation, Mrs.
kunze to-day related for the first
time how it felt to lie absolutely
quiescent, knowing that her grave
was being dug, that she had been
prepared by the undertaken for bur-
ial and that all the funeral arrange
ments had been completed.
The incident occurred several
years ago, before embalming had be-
come a necessary adjunct to the un-
dertaking business, but Mrs. Kunze,
who is prominently known here, had
never related the story to even her
most intimate friends.
This happened on Sunday. Fun
eral arrangements were made for
10 o'clock on the following Wednes-
day morning. In the meantime the
undertaken arrived and the young
girl was laid out and all the grue-
some details of burial preparation
were made. Even the coffin was
brought in the same room in which
she was laid out.
Although acutely aware of all
that was transpiring, Mrs. Kunze was
unable to give so much as a culver
of an eyelash.
On Tuesday evening a colored
servant insisted, after viewing the
supposed corpse, that she detected
signs of life. The father became eX-
cited and summoned the doctor.
The medical man refused to ac-
company the parent home, saying
he had pronounced the girl dead
once" and didn't propose to listen
to "old women's talk"
But the colored nanny" still in
sisted that the body showed signs of
life and the father securing a shot
gun, again went after the doctor,
threatening to blow off his head If
he didn't come and do something
for his dughter.

rise from the waters of the Lake,
according to their tradition, and to
choose his disciples from their midst,
proceeding to Safed on yonder hill
to set up his earthly kingdom. Now
all this religious zeal and ortho-
doXy and solicitude for ceremonial
has no relation whatever to real
cleanliness. This divorce between
traditional holiness" and common
decency seems to characterize many
sacred places. Thus Benares, the holy
city of the Hindus, is SO sacred
that even if an infidel dies on its
soil he has hopes of paradise. Yet
Benares, the city, is fairly naus-
eous. Mecca, toward which every
Moslem turns when he prays, and
whittier two hundred thousand pill
grims go every year, is the greatest
breeding place for cholera known to
medical science. They all represent,
like the fastidiousnesS of the Phar-
isees, the religion of ceremonialism.
Rites and observances are exalted
to first place. The old Jews of the
time of Christ had overlaid the law
of Moses with their tradition until
religion had become a burden too
heavy to be borne. The eXactions or
the rabbis ran down into every de-
partment of human interest and
into every hour of the life of the
faithful.
The Rcformer Dissents
Clearly and fearlessly Jesus took
issue with all this. He knew that
the tendency of all religion is to
deteriorate into set of formal CO.
servances. The heather faiths that
environed Israel, even as the heath
en- faiths to-day, prescribed prac-
tees and ritual instead or spirltual
faith. So the brave Teacher from
Nazareth did not hesitate to indict
the experts in religious ceremonial
ism as blind guides. With high dis
dain he dismissed the Pharisees ana
their claims as teachers. In this, as
always, the principles he laid down
hold for all time.
One wonders and wonders just
how much of our present detailed
religious teaching - the crystalllza-
ton of the traditions of the elders
and how much of the machinery
of religion, will have to give way
before the new clear spirit of Jesus
speaking to our time in the thun-
ders of battle? Already the maga-
zines are raising fundamental ques-
tions as to the adequacy of our pulpit
teaching for the times. All of us are
ready to drop nonessentials; but
there is no thoughtful person, what
ever his creed, who is not eager to
know the mind of God for mankind.
The platform of the Reformer
upon which all the race will one
day come to stand, is God is spir-
it, and they that would worship

The electric needle is not required
for the removal of hair or fuzz, for
with the use of plain delatone the
most stubborn growth can be quick

water and a little of the powder,
then spread over the hairy surface.
In about two minutes it is rubbed
off and the skin washed. This sim

hair, but leaves the skin free from
blemish. Be sure you get genuine

Drama

ole Gendre de Monster Poirier,"
the classic comedy by Emile Augier
and Jules Sandeau, was presented at
the Theatre du Vieux Colomber last
evening. This piece was among the
first comedies of manners that ended
the mopopoly of historical drama on
the French stage. The authors have
pictured in an amusing fashion the
old quarrel between the bourgeoisie,
represented by NJ Poirier, a retired
tradSsman, and the nobility, in the
person of his son-in-law, CASTOR de
Presles. an impecunious marquis. Both
the boundless ambition of Poirer and
the pretentiousness of his daughters s
husband are divertingly exposed, and
in the end the aristocrat is confounded
by the nobility Of character displayed
by his wife and her relations.
Miss Yvonne Garrick appeared for
the first time with this company in the
role of Antoinctte, which she played
when another organization gave the
play year or two ago. She is an ex-
perienced comedenne, more success
full in her lighter moments than when
she wishes to appear emotional Her
associates in the cast were Charles
Dublin as M. Poirier, Henri Durthal,
Marcel Millet and others.

General Haig told him had "fought like
tigers, and all the officers of which
were real gentlemen"

which he auctioned off book Of his
