Intentions Good, Methods Poor.

The Pullman porter's intentions
were good, but his methods poor. Two
sisters, near the sixty mark, were en-
route from Kansas to Indiana. The
younger, weighing about so pounds,
was convalesclng from a long illness
and needed assistance in moving about.
The porter frequently was called for
help.
One morning he met the older sis
ter, who weighed near tie $50 mark,
and remarked:
why, your mother just walked
down the aisle. She must be much
better"
And when the porter was told of
the social error" he had made, he
spent the greater part of the remain
der of the journey pleading with the
older sister not TO tell of his mis-
take.

missioner Richard L. Enright, yesterday
admitted on the witness stand before the
legislative committee inquiring into the
city administration. that he had received
gift of $12.0S3 from Allan \. Ryan,
financier, whom he had appointed a dep
uay police commissioner.
\ check made out by Allan \. Ryan
& Co. to Commissioner Enright for
$12,OS329 was produced as well as a
ledger sheet showing that the Ryan con
Germ on April II. 1919, had engineered a
stock transaction, returning that amount.
The company had credited Enright with
several thousand shares of an oil stock
and with the rise in the market a few
days later the stock was sold and he was
presented with the check.
The commissioner said the check was
received after he had appointed Mr.. Ryan
a deputy commissioner.
Enrights admission came at the con-
clusion of his testimony regarding the gift
of an automobile from Deputy Police Com
missioner J. \. Harris. He said that he
did not know whether he would keep the
machine but that it had been placed at
his disposal by Mr.. Harris.
The commissioner was also questioned

the matter of religious instruction, and
have committed themselves to pro
gram for furthering that co operation.
Believing that many parents are de-
sirous and willing to give training IN
religion to their children, but do not
do so because they do not know how
to go about it, the Sunday school board,
acting upon a recommendation from
the cabinet, decided to place a small
textbook of religious education through
the home into the hands of all parents
of the church and constituency, to-
gether with supplementary pamphlets
dealing with the problems of religious
education of children for each period
or stage of. childlife, between the years
of five and 30. This litaTature is to be
distributed with full explanation when
the visitation is made by the church on
Church Week, Oct 80 To inspire par
ents of. the church TO devote themselves
more fully to the task of religious ed
ucation in the home, and to a deep in
terest in the program of education as
planned bv the Sunday school board,

ROAD MUST HAVE PATRONAGE.
West River Line Being Snapped of Life
Blood by Automobiles.

Editor of The Reformer -
There is grave question to be conSid-
cred by the people of the West River
valley, whether the West River railroad
shall have a future life or cease to be. 1t
required much effort to bring it into be
ing, and a few have given it their undi-
vided patronage and the people have taken
the pleasure and benefit of a railroad
To the Valley fair two trains in the
forenoon have conveyed large number
and returned them at night, and daily
the cars were well filled. Today how is
it? Much property has been mortgaged
to buy automobiles and auto trucks. Fam
lies with invited guests pass up and down
the valley. An auto truck makes two
trips day from Townshend, well patron
lied. Most of the people at county court
come in the morning by automobile and
return at night. Fifteen minutes after
the court adjournS Newfane streets are
silent to the tread of the court people
Merchants and other business men are
conveying their goods by auto trucks.
The life blood of the railroad is being
Slapped almost to a death struggle. and
if patronage is not given death is sure to
come. We read that it cost So mile to
operate a tran and only IS cents is re-
ceived. If you want better service or a
railroad at all it must have something to
do to pay living expenses and it is up to
the people of the West River valley to
give it its life support. f..

Let Fortune Get Away.

All that gIitters is not gold, but
lack of glitter is not certain test for
worthlessness, 1t was found by gold
diggers along a river In Papua, British
New Guinea. recently. While search
ing for gold the men encountered a
blulsh-gray, fakish substance which
they cast aside as worthless. Two
months ago two pounds of this sub
stance was bought in London by an
American firm for approximately
$4,000, or eight times the value of the
same amount of gold. 1t was osmirid-
ium, a member of one of the hardest
metals known and used for the tipping
of fountain pens and for delicate bear
ings of fine machinery. 1t is worth $500
an ounce. When the prOspeCtors
learned the value of the substance they
hurried back to the river and learned
that tropical rains had washed away
most of the precious stuff. BY careful
work they raked together what was
left, had it refined and sent to London.
