They get some queer samples of humanity among the spectators at the snake dances. J. F. Anderson, super intendent of the Indian school at Ho- tevilla, tells of New York chap who came west especially to see one of the recent dances at First Mesa. He started to walk across the narrow ledge connecting Taiwai village with the main part of the mesa where the dance was to be held. This path all the spectators had to follow. The precipices at either side overcame his equilibrium, and he dropped to his hands and knees and began to crowl. Halfway across, he decided that he could go no farther, and, at his earn est entreaty, those behind him caught him by the feet and pulled his back. He went back to New York without seeing the dance.
 As natural craftsmanship falls off, modern science comes forward with new schemes to maintain it's certainty. The latest is the invention of New Yorker of a rife the trigger of which is pressed with the thumb instead of being pulled with the finger. It is claimed for it that the weapon is han dled more steadily.

 Joe Schmidt, jeweler at KahPs had a handsome dog, Spot"
 Urban Lewis, the prescriptionist at the store, admired the dog so much that he was finally persuaded into trading his Stetson hat for it. MT. Schmidt had coveted that hat for long time. Soon afterward, Schmidt left the hat lying around where this Spot" could reach it. He ate big chunk out of it. Lewis, to make good, gave the dog back to Schmidt. Then the dog died from indigestion, caused, according to the coroner, by eating too much hat. The question is, which of the boys is ahead on the deal, and how much; or, are they both ahead?

The proportion of the votes for and
against the league continues about the
same, and it is evident that the ap-
proximate feeling of the county on
the league has been reached.
Four hundred and eighty-one people
are against the league under any cir
cumstances, or against it if it cannot
be amended, against 25S who want the
present league or are willing to accept
it without reservations if it cannot
be secured. A striking feature is the
strong feeling against the league
among farmers and shopmen who
sweep down a slight majority for it

ENGINEERS ARE OUT.
(By Associated Press)


CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-One official
announcement that slab and rail mills
of the United States Steel corporation
plant at Gary, Ind. would be in par
tial operation today which would be
the most extensive resumption of
work in the Chicago district since the
strike Of steel workers was called on
Monday, was counterbalanced by the
195 steam engineers at the Illinois
Steel company at Gary being ordered
out in sympathetic strike by their
local union. Union leaders asserted
that action would close the Illinois
steel mills.
Claims of the industrial and labor
leaders still were at variance. Five
hundred men at Indiana Harbor, Ind

manded protection for their return to
work. Speakers at the meeting stat
ed eighty per cent of the $4,000 men
on strike at plants desired to re-
sumo work.
At Gary and South Chicago, accord
ing to labor leaders, the tendency Of
the men was not to return to work.
Officials of the Inland Steel company.
at Indiana Harbor were said to have
stated that unless striking employees
returned to their places today in suf-
ficient numbers to operate the plants,
they would be closed down for from
three to nine months.
In the only rioting of the day re-
ported in the Chicago district, ane
man was severely beaten at South
Chicago last night.

Fault Finders" Theme
 of Dr. Bakers Serman

And he said unto them, if they near not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" was the text which Dr. c. Ross Baker, pastor or the Woodlawn Baptist church, yester- day morning preached splendid ser . mon, his subject being "Fault-find' CTS" A large congregation was pres ent.
 Dr. Baker said in part:
 "There is certain species of raul finding which crystallizes into specl- lation. The Savior knew all about these speculative minds. He was familiar with the cry for more evidence Men wished then as they wish now that there was some manifestation that would convince every man, and leave no room for doubt. We need more men who will accept the evidence that is at hand
 '"The phase of human nature which dis gusts me most is the everlasting specu- lation about matters which can never be explained to the finite mind. Near ly all these speculations are sugges- tive of hostility to Gods revelation. The literature of the age is pregnant with such poison. Their main purpose appears to be to cast reflections on the orthodox faith and when once they have beat against the rock they fa1 lifeless and are soon forgotten For brief period, however, these foolish speculations have their influence. Some moths wings are singed by every can dle's flame. Some soul is distressed and distracted by every vain and fool ish assault upon the truth.
 Moses gave direct testimony; the prophets gave direct testimony; Christ gave direct testimony; what more could be asked? Testimony cannot overcome prejudice. You cannot maks much of an impression on a mans mind when his heart is all wrong.
 There is no need for more proof. As a Historical character Christ is as we'll authenticated as Augustus or oc- tavius If he is divine then we have all the evidence we need< The best evidence we can furnish is a holy life. Not doctrine but life will win men. Take God at his word"

The night class of the city board of education will be opened again tonight at the Civic association for the study of practical Spanish. in charge of Prof. John H. Cornyn. The class convenes at o'clock in the directors room
 'Everyone who has any idea of talk ing part in the export trade with Latin-America" said Professor Cornyn, "should bear in mind that it is abso- lutely necessary to learn the Spanish language. This is Fundamental. No one can expect to get any business out of these people who does not acquire their medium of communication. There is nothing peculiar about this reason ing If foreign representative does not condescend to learn the language of the country in which he is solicit ing orders, he stands a poor chance of getting business in competition with other foreign salesmen who have tak- en the pains to learn the language and mix into the lives of the peo- ple.'
 pr. J. IT. Phillips, city superintep- dent of schools, says that nominal matricuiation charge of five dollars for 30 lessons has been prescribed. It is<estimated that the ordinary student can. in the 10 weeks course, become well grounded in Spanish for busi- ness purposes.

 Made Appeal for
 Orpha ms

Under the auspices of the publicity de- partment of the gulf division of the Red Cross, Captain Negre of the French high commission now in this country in the interest of the French orphans, gave a very interesting and impressive illus trated talk at the Strand theatre yester- day afternoon.
 The capacity of the theatre was taxed to provide seats for all who assemb bled there to hear the French officer tell of conditions in that country resulting from the invasion of the Germans.
 Two moving pictures showing condi- tions in France, were displayed on the screen, giving views of destroyed or chards and forests, of demolished hospi- tals with their long rows of broken and warped cots, and the method of distribut- ing Red Cross funds among the people there.
 Captain Negre gave a vivid description. of conditions, telling his hearers that ths French were thankful to the Americans for what they had done and that France coudl never forget the help and kindness of this country.
 He said the first duty of America in this work of aiding France was the care of the thousands of orphans and the next to help in rehabilitating the country.
