can heat houses as well as light
them with his new invention, and
the coal mines can close up and
go out of business. We should
worry about coal strikes then.
Now, here. Listen to yer
grandpap a minute. It is prob
able that all these inventors have
stretched their blankets just a
little. I don't have any idea their
inventions will do all they claim
for them at the present state of
the game.
But here is the important point.
Men are working along these
lines and making progress every
day. Even if these fellows aia't
quite hit the combination, they
or somebody else will hit it be-
fore long, and we will have a
motive power so far ahead of
anything we now have that YOU
can't realize it.
Travel will be made safe and
swift and cheap.
Industry will be revolutionized,
SO that the workers will have
safe and satisfactory working
and living conditions.
What do you think all these
rapid strides of invention Haean,
anyhow?
They are simply coming in to
be used in the Millennium-the
Golden Age-and these very in
ventions and discoveries that
men themselves are making and
will make, will have a great deal
to do with changing the earth
into an Eden.
But in the meantime, there is
a Higher Power at work through
it all. Men should not have all
the credit for it, because God
IS just using men to work out
His plan. He has put it into the
heads of men to do these things
just at this time, and they could
not possibly have done them
sooner.
Some old fogies will say, "Oh,
I think men have invented and
discovered just about every.
thing possible; they have about
reached the limit and will have
to STOP
No, indeed, mister! Why, the
same class of old fogies made
that same prediction forty years
ago when we were just BEGIN
! MING to do things. And pres
ent indications are that we have
MT MORE than just begun ever
now. Instead Of slowing up W.
get faster every year. There i
no reason to expect any slow ms
up in the current of 1nveHiis1
and discovery.
When you study these ing:
in connection with Bible ppophe
cy you viii see that it CLEARLY in
dicates where we are GA tn
stream of time. Daniel sale
that in the TINE OF THE ENI
people should run to and fro
and knowledge sould be increas
ed" Nahum "a gives us a per
feet photograph of the automo
biles with their cleaning head
lights raging in the streets"
I don't see how anybody ca
be so stupid and unobserving a
not to be impressed by thes
things. They are TRUE, I'll
they MEAN SOMETH[NG.T The
mean that we are right n,.w en-

Well, dear sinner friends, this is The Fool Killer. =
How does it set on your stomach? E
: If you like II, you can get more at headquarters. .
: The Fool Killer is not even a forty Eleventh cousin to .
: any ether paper en- earth. .
: It stands in a class by itself. and its field is AS broad E.
: as the English language. .
: This paper wears no bell, muzzle, collar ner halter. :
: You ean put that down to start with. .
. / am the fellow that works at the pump-handle on :
= this puagent periodical of thrilling thought. :
I never travelled any to speak of, but 1 have read a
: great deal, and have thunk some.
!. And then 1 started The Fool-Kiler, just to quiet my
. nerves and to keep the old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded hills there will
GO forth each month a bundle of literary dynamite that
. will shake the rotten foundations of society and cause the
. Church of Mammon to at least turn over in its sleep.
e The Fool-Kiner is nearly ten years old. and getting
: elder every month. > afu :
. 1t breaches the truth so straight that each issue
: brings hundreds Of old moss-backs and blind leaders of
e the blind to the naeurners bench in a trOt.
Be- 1t gifts 'em gon' an eemin'."

O It dent bust it's crupper holding back to see what
Sc ssEaebedy else is going to say.
. 1t is just as independent as a hog on ice, as Tom
e Watts says.
!. 1t is written with a red-hot poker dipped in razor
. sesp.
!. 1t rides the devil a-straddle without a saddle, and
. spurs him at every lope.
. It is death to fools, raseals and hypecrites.
. The Fsel-KiHer always tries to make a man laugh
81 tight big. and then cram a truth down him while his
E mouth is open.
= It is salted with wit, ~peppered with humer and sea-
e ssned with sarcasm.

will not be in condition to turn stock
on for three weeks. We have been

but | wonder what would have been
the consequences if we had had no
railroad here at all. If that Crawl

with hay and corn time after time
through endless hours of toll, hard
ships and suffering where would our
financial support of our county have
been? Our fields would have been
strewn with dead carcasses of sheep
and cattle. That the winter was an
unusual one we all admit, and having
had the drouth before it caught peo-
! pie unprepared, but l am sure that
every man who had stock depending
on feed from the outside are more
than grateful to the Crawling thing"
that proved their lfesaver.

LEADOI2E AND UPPER LENE1I
THE SWINDLED

II seems that something should
be done to protect the unsuspecting
and innocent public from the wiles
CT the travelling confidence man and
the unscrupulous faker.
II Is said. that as the train pulled
in from Armstead one day last Week
two strangers alighted and gazed ir-
quiringly up and down the platform
as though in quest of some familiar
figure, but disappointment seemed to
set heavily upon them. They kepr
very close together and We're sser
in several whispered consultations.
II has been remarked since that they
appeared quite nervous and the nerv-
Gus tension seemed to increase as
the time drew near for the train To
depart Shortly before the expira-
tlon Of the time, however, one OF them
nndged the other and drew his az
tention to two nice looking men at
the other end of the platform. The
two strangers Immediately walked
past the two nice looking men, anG
dropping them a word In passing, the
four walked aside from the crowd.
Il Is not clearly known just whay
all the transactions were that took
place there. Apparently no receipts
were exchanged as the whole thing
seemed to be a word-of-honor bust
mess; but the two nervous strangers
gave the two nice looking men a
baggage check. The corresponding
check was found attached to tool
chest, the nice looking men present
ing the check in the regular way,
aside from Il little manifest nervous
ness. and took possession of the tool
box. After the train had pulPcd out
the possessors of the new piece of
furniture loaded 1t onto convey
klnCe and took 1t far away from the
gaping crowd where. with knowing
wnks and trembling hands, they
pried up the lid there wasn't
% drop Of booze in the whole dern
thing. Now what do you know about
that?
