Bible Contains News Value Says
 Kansas Editor
EDITOR TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL DECLARES BIBLE SUCCESS
 AS FEATURE.

Topeka. Kansas.--Is printing the Bible a good newspaper feature? Will the average rersous read the Bible if published in this way? After printing a weekly serial from the Bible tor three months, Arthur J. Carruth, managing editor of the Topeka State Journal, de- clared that the publication of the Bible has proved to be the greatest success Of any feature ever printed by The State Journal. Moreover, it is being read by maay subscribers as faithfully as would be the install ment of a popula! novel, Carruth states.
 The publication of the Bible seri- ally has had a marvellous effect, said Mir. Carruth. "It has shown that the subscribers are sincere in their demand for reading matter of reli- gious character, and also has shown to the public tEat the newspapers do not print only the sensational, that they do nto attempt to appeal pri- marily to the masses and that they do not neglect the church"
 As an indication of the interest taken in the publication of the Bible, Mr. Carruth stated he has received inquiries from every state in the ma ton. many letters from Canada and a number of communications from foreign countries. A number of Kansas newspapers have taken up the publication of the Bible since The Journal started it. Mr. Carruth stated He said out of about sixty ministers in Topeka, he has received communication from all and that in only two or three cases had they been criticized for the publication.
 The publication of the Bible was undertaken by The Journal at the suggestion of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka, editor of The Christie. Herald and a well known author Each instalIment includes about B., 900 words The Weymouth text of tie New Testament, a translation in every day English. is usod. Already the publication of the Book of Mark has been completed and the Book of Luke is well under way.

A Secret Society.

"It would shock. or bore. or disgust the world in general, I suppose, if all the school teachers and office workers who want to marry should suddenly tell the truth. The public prefers to believe that women cherish their eco homie independence more tenderly than they ever could cherish husbands and babies. And our pride helps to keep up the great deluslOn.
 Many of us, especially the older ones, would never admit our loneliness and disappointment, perhaps, even to ourselves; but the majority, I believe, have had to tell sOmeone-some equally lonely woman friend-wheth- CT or not we told 1t in words, the story of frustrated hopes, of battied h. stlnCts, of imprisoned powers.

The initiation If, merclfully, gradual; the dues are endless; the badge may be anything from a com mutation. ticket to a Phi Beta Kappa key; the password, seldom uttered. Is always the same-lOnelIness." From "No Courtship at AL" by Another Spinster, In the Atlantic Monthly.

BULL POUT QUITE AT HOME
Hsroes of Thl0 Remarkable Flnh Yarn Furnish Something New In
 PIscatorlal Stories.

One feels almost like apologizing for telling ash story that Isn't bit Ike any other fish story ever told since the days of Jonah, but there is one good excuse for the uniquenesS of this fish story. It Is gospel truth, says George L. Brown, according to the New York Sun. The scene Of 1t Is ElIzabethtown, a village completely surrounded by AdIrOndacks.
 The streams and ponds around Ellzabethtown have been famous In their day for speckled trout and more recently for plckerel, perch, black bass and bull pout
 Let the humble bull pOut be the he TO of thls yarn, the Sacramento cat" as he has been named In California, the sluggish browser of weedy ponds, that will live wherever a frog can and bite anything from an angleworm to piece Of a tin dinner pail. And the bull pouts tenaclty of life may be credited with a good share of the unlQueness of this unprecedented fish story.
 In the days when the thing hap pened the young fellows of Elizabeth town used to go fishing for bull pout Saturday nights in Lincoln pond or in the marsh" not far away. And on Saturday night Carl E. Daniel and his cousin, the late Arthur Fl. Norton, went out and brought home a fns mess after midnight.
 Carl was tired and he just dumped his bull pOuts with the grass in which he had carried them home, Into a dlshpan. Then 1t occurred to him to put the dlshpan In the kitchen sink and turn on the faucet little, and he dld so before going to bed.
 That's where the story begins. The rest of 1t happened while Carl was asleep. You see, the grass Overfowed with the water from the dishpan and clogged the drain of the sink. And then the sink filled up and overhOwed. And then the whole of the ground floor of CarTs home, Colonial Cottage" be- came a pond. And when Carl got up on Sunday morning and went Into the kitchen he found all his mess of bull bouts swimming around over the floor as happy as If they were back In Lin- coin pond.
 That's the story, and If you doubt that 1t happened in just that way you can ask Carl, who Is now head of the Ellzabethtown Hardware company, Inc.

WORKED THERMOMETER
 GET MEN RETURN WORI

Calexico, Sept. l9.-It gets hot here. A few days ago 1t got so hot that sober and truthful chromieters declined to quote the figures regis tered by tested thermometer. They all agree it was over l2O in the sun.
 Two Mexican Iaborers working for a cement contractor, happened to see a thermometer near the scene of their labors. They went over and looked at it. Until they did so they had been warm, but we'll. When they saw it. both apparently had sun stroke. Anyway, they fell to the ground, writhed, groaned. turned as near pale as nature permitted, and emitted strange noises that a blush ing bystunder declined to translate,
 The lady of the house where the thermometer hung saw the two fall, she brought out some cold water. Did she pour it over the MeNcans? She did not. s poured it over the ther- mometer, reduced the apparent tenn perature to 9S, and showed it to the men. They looked at it and at each other, quit grooming and went back to work.

The oats and barley crop hal ripened before the first frost and did not suffer. Dr. Georgeson said the whe;s will make an excellent feed for the stock and will be used for that purpose.

the New York Central lines, the Erie,

Traffic Not Interrupted.
There was no interruption of tranic
on any line. Engineers and trainmen
stuck to their posts, although under
instruction from brotherhood chiefs,
they performed only their regular
duties. All trains, the railroads re-
ported, were running on schedule. :,

Independent Republican candidates
have secured. the nominations for
nearly all Of the important state Of
fees in the Republican primary elec-$
ton. III
Headed by Governor r. A. Nestos,
whose final majority may reach TO-
000,. they have made what seems to be
nearly a clean sweep.
Governor Nestos Leads. &
Governor Nestos' majority is now
over $4,000. There are only 1913 pre-
clncts out of the 2.134 in the state to-
be heard from. Not more than 5000,
votes are believed to be, unaccounted
for.
Two May Have Lost.
1t appears likely that only two Of
the Independent candidates have been
defeated for nomination by their
league opponents. These are II. G.
Carpenter. candidate for commission
er of insurance and H. c. johnson,
candidate for state. auditor.
Returns on the state railway COM
mission are still too incomplete to
make any. accurate estimate there
possible. The results there still ap-
pear more or less doubtful.
1t appears practically certain, how
ever, that the Independents have
nominated their men for governor,
commissioner Of agriculture and Ia
Dor, secretary of state and treasurer.
Unless there is an unexpected up
set the Independents viii retain the
control of the state industrial co1nmiS-.
sion.
