PASTOR SAYS
WATCH TONGUE
He Considers It Good Point al
Which to Begin Practice of
Self Con-
rtoI

IF the right spirit is behind our
work, there will be no danger Of our
offending any one" says the Rev. c.
X. Waters, prominent colored pastor
THE tongue is good point at
which to begin self-control. The habit
OF blessing, or seeing and speaking
the good, leaves neither time nor de
sire to curse.
"The tongue advertises man. It
reveals character. We are Judged by
our words. Words are swords, they
wound or they are medicine; they heal
the impulse to say something puts us
on an incline. We often say too
much. Hence the need of putting a
brake on our tongue so far as gossip
is concerned. Words are blossoms J;
actions are fruit. Sometimes the bios
SONS never reach the stage of fruit.
The wise man Is careful with prom
ises, but those he makes he makes
good. Speech is wise which is true.
1t was truth put into words that de
stroyed paganism in the Roman en-
pire; which destroyed slavery; which
brought in the reformation; which are
seed, that Is, they are alive"

CONVERTED WAR
| CADILLAC WINS RACE
in RECORD TIME
Goes 1903 Miles Per Hour After
$1,000 Miles Of Hard Use.

Cadillacs were not designed for
racing purposes, but many a
doughboy rode SO fast in them,
over shell holes and along the
battered highways of the war
zone, that they could not resist
putting that speed to test on the
| race track
Sergt. Charles D. Frey, of Dali
| las, Texas, recently returned to
the United States with a photo
graph of the converted Army Cad
| lilac which won the straightaway
in the La Baule races of May 80,
| 81 and June 1, in France.
The race was against time, and
was won at a speed OF 10S miles
an hour.
The army mechanic who built
the car drove 1t in the race. When
his. brakes began to drag he jerked
them off.
The Cadillac motor had already
| seen $4,000 miles of hard usage in
4 the war zone, but with a slight
change in the gear ratio, and with
Its frame cut down, it presented a
typical race course appearance.

WILL BE
PROSECUTED
Father of Girl Roscoe Suits Brought
to keokuk Intends to Press
Charges Against
Him.

That Hubert FelRer, father OF the
young girl who came to Keokuk to
meet Roscoe Suits, and which has
resulted in a charge of seduction
being placed against the youth, will
prosecute the young man, is the be-
lief of the officials at Fort Madison.
Suits, it seems, met the girl in
Fort Madison, and was attracted to
her by her lovable personally and
girlish beauty. Letters were ex-
changed between the two, and the
matter was brought to a climax this
week, when the girl left for Keokuk
to keep an appointment thought to
have been made through the medium
of the letter.
The parents caught wind of the
fact that the girl was to go to keo-
kuk. as The Gate City told last
night, and consequently Assistant
Chief of Police Young was sent to
the dam city, where he found the
girl in hotel, and returned to Fort
Madison with her Wednesday even
ing.

master division which was station
ed at La Mans. France. The army

The Weather.

The weather man dealt out a
pleasing brand Of weather, mixed
with sunshine and above zero tenn
perature during the first part of the
week, but Thursday night sent a
small snow storm which covered the
ground. A high wind drifted the
snow badly and made some Of the
country roads almost impossible.
The cold weather has not delayed
trains any, altho the shortage Of
coal made conditions more serious
when coupled. with cold weather.
The skating rink and the dam pond
have been frozen solid and many
have taken advantage Of the fact
and enjoyed the sport.
