Zeppelins and Aeroplanes Co operate With the Warships. Athena. Feb. 20. It is reported here that the Anglo-French fleet destroyed Turkish forts on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles during the bombard ment this morning. The forts on the European side subsequently were at tacked and are still firing. A powder magazine on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles exploded dur ing the bombardment by the allied fleets. The forts replied in a lively manner to the fire of the warships, vbut without success. Amsterdam. Feb. 20. A dispatch from Constantinople gives the follow ing official statement iss'ued by the Turkish war office: Karly Saturday morning British and French ships renewed their bombard ment of. the outer forts of the Darda nelles, firing 400 shots without much success. One. soldier slightly wound ed by a fragment of stone. "Right armored Anglo-French ships liomlmrded the outer forts of the Dar danelles for seven hours without si lencing them.

The British and French fleets, it was officially an nounced here today, bombarded the forts of the Dardanelles on Friday with considerable effect. The bom bardment of the Dardanelles was re newed, the announcement added, with Zeppelins and aeroplanes co-operating.

TACKS FOR JITNEY Some One lias Been Sprinkling Puncturers in Streets. Private Car Owner Suffering From Attack on Service. Some person is believed to be ma liciously sprinkling brand new tacks on the Topeka streets. Several auto mobiles this morning received punc tures on the main streets in the resi dence sections, among them being cars owned by H. A. Auerbach and Charles L. Mitchell. Whether the distribution of these tacks is aimed at the jitneys or not is not known. The streets of Topeka are for public use and there are fifteen hundred automobiles owned in the capital city besides those of the jitney companies. One jitney received a puncture Friday afternoon from a tack. The same trouble occurred in Em poria. Two society girls own Fords and are running a jitney service in that city. It is alleged that two or three cab drivers in Emporia sprinkled tacks over the city and as a result scores of autos owned by business men were punctured. The Topeka Jitney company has filed application for a charter. The capitalization is $10,000. The incor porators named in the company are I- M. Crawford. R. K. Hinkson, Roy Crawford, Mrs. L. M. Crawford and Mrs. Roy Crawford. Roy Crawford arrived at the Grand theater at 6 o'clock this morning and spent a busy day. Special calls by the dozens were received. Not a single Jitney was idle. Every bus was doing a rushing business. As Mr. Crawford and Homer Baltzell. the manager, worked until 2 o'clock this morning handling the heavy business last night 6 o'clock was an early hour for them to begin today's work. Mr. Crawford has announced the rates. There has been some misun derstanding about them. For special calls within a radius of ten blocks, the price will be 25 cents a call; for twenty block3. SO cents a car. For cars on the regular routes, one nickel. What About Xcgroes? St. Louis. Mo.. Feb. 20. The right of negroes to ride in the automobiles that carry passengers for 5 cents in competition with the street cars was upheld in municipal court here today. The decision was given in the" case of six negroes who were arrested because they refused to leave an automobile at the demand of the chauffeur. READING OLD TALES. London, Feb. 20. Confessions of well known literary men that they have lost all appetite for mod ern works during the war and turn back to other times, has led to an investigation by some of the pa pers as to what the general pub lic now reads. It is learned from the libraries that there has been a great falling off in the reading of Jk modern fiction. What part of it tne puonc lines Dears directly on the war. such as "All for a Scrap of Paper." Kipling's tales have been reprinted and take well with the civilians, although the Kip lingcsque soldier nas never been popular in the British army.- The books most sought, however, are war books and those dealing with the principal characters of the war, particularly the kaiser.

When Republican committees re fuse positively and flatfootedly to re spond to administration wishes and repudiate the maker of a party plat form promise, there Is every chance that the obligation must be charged off with the year's lost accounts.

TO LOSE A LEG Bernhardt Would Rather Let It Go, She Says, Than Lie in Bed Five Months 1 Waiting for Recovery. Paris, Feb. 20. Maurice Barres. who is conducting a campaign to aid war cripples, has received the follow ing telegram from Sarah Bernhardt: "Your last article, an appeal for the invalids of the war, touched me deeply, perhaps because I am going to have my leg cut off Sunday and thus Join the great army of the mutilated. I could have kept my leg if I had been willing to live stretched on a sofa. The surgeons asked me to give them five months but I refused. Why? Be cause longing for the theater filled me. I would rather be mutilated than pow erless. '.C "Work is my life. I want to get to work again, thus recovering my gaiety and I hope to use again all that force of art which keeps me up and will keep me up until I pass Into the world beyond the grave. Therefore, 1 wish to tell you, my son, that I .have four positions for your invalids in our the ater. Forgive me for speaking so much about myself but you will un derstand why I have done so. Think of me on Sunday morning." WANT THEIR JOBS Night Riders Warn All Negroes to Leave the County. General Exodus From New Ma drid, -IoM- Has Set In. New Madrid, Mo., Feb. 20. As the result of the warnings of "Night Rid ers" that they must leave the district before Tuesday morning, nearly 300 negroes left New Madrid county last night and today. Possibly as many more are prepar ing to depart before the time limit ex pires. The negroes, most of whom are em ployed on farms in this county, will be severely dealt with unless they obey, the order announces. Sheriff Conran has asked Gov. Major to send militia to prevent disorder. Adjutant General O'Meara is expected today and will make an investigation. Negroes working on government levee at Lenda and Dorena, in Mississippi county, also have been notified to stop work and leave the county. The first warning note was tied to a bundle of switches and the second contained a crude drawing of a shot gun. Apparently the order for the ne groes to leave was not based on any specific objectionable act, but on ill feeling on the part of some whites because negroes were doing work which they thought they should have. The trouble between the whites and the negroes seems to have its origin in the land rental system. Trouble (her Rents. Last December the white renters demanded a reduction from $6 to (3 an acre. Tile negroes were content to continue paying $6, and when new rent contracts were drawn up in January more negroes than ever were given places on the farms. Discon tent among the poor whites then de veloped. Personal threats were fol lowed by the posting of notices for the negroes to leave. The more prosper ous whites have condemned the raid and are trying to prevent the exodus of negroes from becoming general. While there has been no general vio lence, there has been one demonstra tion by night riders. That occurred at Riddle s Point on Feb. 2. Opposition has developed among the land owners to the plan to send the state militia here to preserve order. "If the militia were to come," said M. J. Conran, a land owner, "the troops would not know what men are making the trouble. We know them and we- know how to deal with them. The negro farmers of this country are law-abiding and thrifty and are en titled to protection." The land owners are making "every i effort to suppress the spirit of panic among the negroes, as they fear a ne gro exodus will make difficult the harvesting of the cotton crop next falL L Buy Municipal Hospital, f Cincinnati, Feb. 20. Cincinnati's new municipal hospital built at an es timated cost of $4,000.000,. was dedi cated today. Dr. H. E. Pritchett, chairman of the board of trustees of the Carnegie foundation, delivered the dedicatory address. GERMAN RUSH IIITSJISNAG Bumps Up Against Heavy Rus sian Reinforcements. Gen.

The Bjarka, laden with coaL was on her way from Lelth to Kakskov. London. Feb. 20. The third day of the German submarine blockade was ushered in without Great Britain's re taliatory policy, declaring all food destined for Germany to be absolute contraband, being definitely promul gated through the foreign office. The British reply to tne American note regarding the Wilhelmina inci dent presages that such action will be taken and as the document points out. Great Britain hopes wives she takes this step, to meet with To oDjecuon from neutral countries: German movements on the northern extremity of the eastern battle front hold first place in the military situa tion particularly so, as Petrograd be lieves Field Marsnai von HinaenDurg is trying to flank Warsaw from the north, a task which the Russians think is rather daring and fraught with great risks, unless the German com mander's forces are overwhelming. The first rush of the Germans over the East Prussian frontier seems to have spent itself. The Germans now are reported to be locked with Rus sian reinforcements at many points on the islemen river below Kovno, down to .the right bank of the lower Vistula, and military experts in Lon don say it is difficult to visualize this position.

The Kansas building is one of the finest examples of architecture of all the state buildings. It is well planned and is' splendidly located. It is now being put in order. The agricultural exhibit, which was held ud till the last minute pending the appropriation bill, in the hopes of making it mere elaborate, is being rapidly rushed to completion, and is said to be one or tne most striking ex hibits at the exposition. Before Legislature. The principal items in the appro priation bill before the legislature, are for the live stock, poultry and horti cultural displays, and for additional displays in certain other departments. The, live stock breeders of Kansas are very much disappointed that this mat ter is held ud. The poultry associations are getting active, and the Horticulturists are manifesting their displeasure. There are several thousand members of these different associations in KansasAere to be the principal speakers of and unless the additional appropria tion bill, which has passed the house, passes the senate, Kansas will be un able to participate in these exhibits.

AT THE BIG FAIR of LECISLATL7.E V.1L COST IOAS C3T $70,a Figures Are Baaed on Records Last Ten Days." of Salaries of Members Alone WiH Amount to SENATE IS MOST COSTLY In Pas Period It Took 55 More Than the House. It Takes 101 Persons to Attend to the Forty Senators. Although the house is more than three times as large a body as the senate and has handled fifty per cent more legislation than the upper house, the senate,, the employee's expense in the senate for the last ten days was $654.50 greater than that of the house. The senate pay roll also shows 13 more employees than in the lower branch of the legislature. On the pay roll of the senate at this time are 114 men and women engaged in handling-the work of upper house members. The house pay roll contains 101 -names. In the senate in the last ten days the expense for employees has been $3,365, while in the house the expense ahs been $2,710.50, or a total expense for help In the two bodies during the ten days ending today of just $6,075.50. This does not include the pay roll of the 165 members of the house and senate who received $4,960 for their services. Probably to 70.0O0. Based on the record of the last ten days and including the expense of members for postage and telegraph voted early in the session the ex pense of the 1915 session will prob ably reach nearly $70,000. Total sal aries of members and employees for the fifty day session based on the present pay roll will total $55,127.50. Added to this is a probable expense of about $5,625 for postage and tele graph for the members during the session. It is probable that the legislative session will continue at least ten days overtime more likely 15 days over the regular fifty day session. Mem bers will receive no extra pay for this extra work. But employees will be paid. That will .mean an additional expense for ten days of $6,075.50, or a total expense for a sixty days ses sion of $68,828. If the session should continue sixty-five days, including holidays and Sundays, the total ex pense of the session would be $71, 865.75. PASSES 7 BILLS House Committee of the Whole Favors Measures. Oratorical Ability of Members Was Tested Today. Working all morning In committee of the whole, the house relieved itself of a considerable supply of oratory and recommended seven bilfs for pas sage on third reading. Twice during the morning session time was called when the lung efforts of individual members exceeded the 30 minute limit for debate, recently adopted by the house. The real oratorical ability of house members was tested on the Schmidt bill to punish derogatory statements affecting banks and the Clark bill' to punish wilful exposure of discharged or paroled prisoners. Both bills were recommended for passage. Other bills recommended at the morning session included: Moyer bill affecting cemetery cor porations and permitting division of cemetery property into lots and sub divisions. Substitute for house bill No. 337 re garding recording mortgages on real estate. Bill by Senator Nighswonger relat ing to issuance of summons. Bird bill regarding privileged testi mony, its admission and rejection. Gray bill authorizing appropriation for extra help at state historical society. LOUDON FOG TODAY. Topeka and Eastern Kansas Is Kn veloped in Gloom. London fog today! Toneka was enveloped in gloom this morning, and the worst thing about it was that word was sent out from tne weather bureau that there is nothing but disagreeable weather in sight- rain tonight and Sunday. But it will fill up the wells and the farmers won't grumble like the city folks. The Kaw river is still active, and there are occasional logs and chunks of ice, floating down.- With one ex ception the stage is the highest since June of last year 8.5 feet this morn ing, which is nearly two feet above normal.. This shows that the ground is fairly well supplied with moisture in northern Kansas and Nebraska. Reports show that there has been little rain in the western third of the Etate. Wichita has received a lion's share of the rain in Kansas one and three-quarters inches in the last day and three-quarters. The total ror To peka in the same time was .40. Kan sas City received less.

LAST LIQUOR WORD Stone Bill in House Makes Common Carriers the Sellers Everything Dear to Heart of Prohibitionists in Measare. The last word in the shape of pro hibitory legislation Is expected to Of come a law next Tuesday afternoon, as far as the Kansas house of repre sentatives is concerned at least, when on special orders the Stone bill, ap pearing under the innocent looking title of "an act relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors," comes before that body. The bill merely makes carriers, either common carriers or otherwise, sellers under the terms of the pro hibitory law, either by themselves or their agents, where shipments of In toxicants are made. The bill provides that the actual sale is made and com pleted in the county where the delivery is made, and by the person, agent or otherwise, making the delivery. The heart of the most radical pro hibitionist could not wish for a more utter prohibition of the shipment of liquor. rt is regarded doubtful If even', a fight will be made on the bill in. the house. It is in the senate where the difficulty may lie, as that conservative body has a way of forgetting the ex istence of radical reform measures. FET.1S OF PAULQ.

CITE TOST m WkKM Also 7, Provided Captain With Fine Pair of Sea Boots. Ten Ninntes Allowed to Leare French Steamer. Cherbourg, Feb. 20. The story of the sinking of the French steamer Ville de Lille, by a German submarine off the Barfleur lighthouse was told last night by the boatswain of the ves sel. The submarine which sunk the hip. he said, was tne I "-16. which pursued the Ville de Lille some dis tance and maneuvered in such a way as to prevent her escape. Then the Germans hoisted the signal, "Stop or we fire on you." The steamer stopped and the submarine came alongside. "I will give you ten minutes to leave the ship." said the German com mander, according to the boatswain's story. The crew took, to the boats. Meanwhile, two men from the sub- marine went aboard the steamer and placed two bombs, one In the captain's room and the other in the forecastle. Ten minutes later there were two ex- plosions aqd the ship began to sink, stern first. After the bombs had been placed aboard the Ville de Lille the subma rine stopped a Dutch ship, which was allowed to proceed, after the Germans satisfied themselves there was no con traband aboard. The submarine then returned to the Villa, de Lille boats when it was seen what desperate ef- l; forts the sailors were making to row to the coast and took them in tow un til the Barfleur was in sight. The captain of the steamer did not have time to dress fully before he left his ship and injured his chin in clam boring into the boat. The German commander, observing the captain's injury, took him aboard the subma rine and gave him first aid treatment. The Germans also supplied the mas ter of the steamer with a fine pair of sea boots, as he had been compelled to leave his own behind. LUSITAIIIA ARRIVES. Bhe Made the Trip Across Without Hoisting the V. S. Hag. New Tork. Feb. 20. The British liner Lusitania reached New York to day from Liverpool, having made the trip, her officer said, without finding It necessary to hoist the United States flag. On the outward voyage, the liner sailed under the stars and stripes While In the Irish sea. Fear of the German submarines kept the big vessel at anchor in the .Mersey for nearly five hours after she left her dock, until an hour or more fter nightfall. According to pas sengers on the ship, officers said they were waiting for favorable tide. The wait lasted from 2:58 o'clock in the afternoon till 7:47 o'clock In the even ing. Then the Lusitania proceeded at full speed down the channel in the darkness. Hough weather prevailed during the entire voyage across the Atlantic and the vessel averaged only a little over twenty knots. ONLY EIGHT DAYS LEFT (Continued From Page One.) the close of the sixth week of the session of 1913, Governor Hodges had Signed but 39 bills. Yet in those six weeks some vitally important meas ures had been enacted into law. Nine of the 14 Democratic platform pledges had been redeemed. These bills in cluded the state publication school text-book law, repeal of the Inher itance tax. creation of the educational administration board, Massachusetts ballot law, corporation tax law and other measures of state-wide impor tance. Among the bills passed at this ses sion of the legislature is scarcely a measure of more than local impor tance. Of the 41 bills signed by the governor, more than a half dozen are for legislative expenses and other reg ular sources demanding immediate appropriations. Measures of more than local concern are repeal of the pure shoe law, bulk sales bill, meas ures regulating elections in cities sec ond class, county normal institute bill, and a bill regulating the practice of veterinarians. Originate 1,861 Bills. To date, 1,881 bills have originated In the two houses 1,064 in the house and 817 in the senate. It is the high water mark for original bills in the legislative annals of the state. Yet there is every prospect that the 1815 session laws will occupy Jess space than any set of laws enacted in Kan saa in recent years. Already the ax has fallen on more than 70 bills, or about 40 per cent of the total number of measures of fered at this session of the legislature. The records show a grand total of 621 bills killed in committee rooms. Of this number 386 have been slaughtered by the house committee, while the senate has playfully decapitated 23S proposed enactments that threatened to encumber the calendar. Added to the list of 621 bills killed in the com snittee rooms, is a record of 36 meas- ares killed In open fights on the floors of the two houses. An even 60 bills have been substituted, withdrawn or re. called thus aiding the house and sen ate in cleaning up the visible supply of threatened legislation. i- House Is Unsuccessful. Although the house has made a des berate effort to put through adminis- tratlon measures during the week Just ending, none of the measures in the party platform have seen the light of day. Nearly the entire week was spent in the house In considera tion of these bills which were pushed to the top of the calendar as special Orders. As promptly as 'the senate was able to get action on the house promissory notes. It slaughtered the Ilia. The attitude of the house and senate la best demonstrated in the sc at.

Both the house and senate are In session today. TRADE T0SUFFER It Will Take Tears to Repair Damage by War. Probably Conditions Never Will Be Up to Standard. Washington. Feb. 20. It may be years after the war ends before trade relations between the United States and foreign countries will again be normal, commerce department offi cials said' today. Transatlantic shipping, to be sure, can be put in operation after a fash ion, it was agreed, within SO days, but it would not be on anything like such a basis as before hostilities began. In the first place, it was pointed out. the principal Kuropean maritime nations merchant fleets have suffered serious injury by the struggle and a ahiD shortage has resulted. The initial step after peace has been restored, said the experts, will be to devote all possible transportation facilities to the handling of exports and imports in greatest demand, other commodities being held back until the international markets most pressing requirements have been met. The suggestion was made, too, that the war undoubtedly will create new trade routes and that there is small prospect. In fact, of a return ever in the future to same trade conditions between this country and the rest of the world that prevailed before the war. DIG MASS MEETING Five Hundred "Older Boys" in Topeka Conference.' Special Features at the First Baptist Church. An attendance of 600 "older boys" of Topeka is expected at a mass meet ing in the First Baptist church Sun day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The Idea of the meeting is to pass on to the boys who did not attend the re cent conference at Wichita something of the spirit and thought of the meet ing. A letter sent out by William Mc- Carter, chairman of the conference delegation, and Willard H. Bray, sec retary. Is self explanatory. It reads in part as follows: A very carefully prepared program has been worked out and the follow- ng boys will talk: Wallace Harring ton, Otis Cummlngs, Fred Worley, Paul Young, Roy Naylor and Richard Righter. You remember Professor Reagan, of course the man who styled himself the "goat of the con ference. He is a wonder, and he will be here Sunday to close the meeting. You will want your friends to hear these fellows and make Professor Reagan's acquaintance. There will be some great music We know you will not care to play the sponge just soak up everything but you will want to give to the other fellows something of the Inspiration you re ceived while at the conference; this you can do by bringing them to this mass meeting.

"The forts at Cape Helles and Kum kale were bombarded with a deliber ate, long-range fire. Considerable ef fect was produced on two of the forts. Two others were frequently hit. but being open earthworks it was difficult to estimate the damage. The forts. being outranged, were unable to reply to our lire. "At 2:45 o'clock in the afternoon a portion of the battleship force was or dered to close in and engage the forts at closer range, with their secondary armament.

Mil TOY IT AGAIN Second Appropriation Bill Ap pears In State Senate. Frantic Effort to Win Educa tional Institution Budget. liZERTSGn GLC3S VKEELS Brown; County Senator Called Shouse on Beeonslderatlon. Bnmors Special Session Loom Up Before Administration. A second,-appropriation bill carry ing the big budgets for educational institutions was introduced in the senate last night perforce, because, in the absence of six of its friends, the original had been killed by a vote of 20 to 14 at the Friday afternoon session. Under a suspension of the rules the budget was sent in once more by the ways and means commit tee and was advanced to second read ing for consideration in the commit tee of the whole by common consent. The failure of the ways and means committee to find a majority vote on its big school- budget precipitated an intensely dramatic situation in the senate Just before the hour of after noon adjournment Friday. Six sen ators had been excused to go to Leav enworth on official business connected with the penitentiary appropriation bill soon to come up, and among them were at least five-who would have voted for the bill. There had been a fight on the big appropriation items for new buildings, totaling 8960,000. recommended by the senate ways and means commit tee. Its opponents Included at least five Democrats and nine Republicans. On both sides was a small nucleus of strongly partisan voters, but the di vision was In no sense made' on party lines. Couldn't Reconsider Vote. When it was discovered that the bill would fail of a majority Senate Jouett Shouse, chairman of the finance com mittee which had drafted the bill, changed his vote from "aye" to "no," and announced his intention cf calling for a reconsideration. Senator W. P. Lambertson of Brown county, who had insistently opposed all the building items, then sprung the surprise by dig ging up a- rule which prohibits the re consideration of a vote on an appro priation bill which has once been lost. Talk of Special Session. Democratic senators, glad of a chance to embarrass the administra tion, declared their willingness to let the appropriation bill stay dead. Fail ure of the legislature to pass an ap propriation for state schools would mean a special session of the legisla ture. The usual decorum of the up per house was forgotten as the realiza tion that a difficult predicament would follow the enforcement of the rules dawned upon the members of the body. "We'll hold a special session, shouted Senator J- W. Howe, Demo crat, i v'-' "Yes, It's all right with us. voXJlf- erated Senator Carney. 3 The Republican side of the "senate was silent. x Chairman Shouse of the ways and means committee reminded the senate that his committee's work on the bill had finished when it was delivered to the senate. "The matter of an appropriation- for the educational institutions is now .in the hands of the legislature, 'said he. "Under our rules, the ways and means committee is prohibited from drawing another bill on the same subject. There is no reason to criticise any senator for his vote. Each has a right to express his own beliefs. I know, however, that the six senators who are absent this afternoon would have supported the appropriation bill." There s no use to get mad about this," declared Senator Noah L. Bow man, one of -the Democratic senators who -refused to vote for the building items. ."We have a right to vote our opinions and I voted mine. No one has a right to charge any member with bad faith. I'm willing, to come back for a special session, but-1 dont be bluffed into supporting this bill. move we adjourn. "Let's adjourn until we cool off," suggested a Republican who had sup ported tne appropriation. Cool Heads Prevail. Cooler counsel during the recess for Bupper approved the plan of reintro ducing the appropriation bill by un animous consent, which was done by Chairman Shouse when the evening session convened. With a bare quorum present for night session, the ways and means committee bill,' under new number, was advanced through first and second readings and referred to the committee of the whole senate where it will receive consideration in the coming week. House Has No Educational Budget. When the senate's educational budget had been killed yesterday -the legislature of 1916 faced the situation of being entirely without an appro priation bill, for none has been drawn in the house of representatives. Probably one-half of the Republi can side of the senate stood behind the big building budget yesterday and are expected to line up for it in -the sec ond fight which will probably mani fest itself In the coming week in an effort to eliminate certain items of the bill.

But the minority report was not In favor. The administration looked over the. situation. Some one suggested that a bill might originate in the house la bor committee. Happy thought. Most of the members of that committee are -Republicans. Suerly. after the beat ing of a few days previous in the econ omy and efficiency committee, the la- Dor committee would come to the rescue. Friday night the bill was consid ered by the labor committee. Some very shocking things were said when the bill was suggested things that should not bo repeated in the pres ence of ladies or when the children are listening.

FIGHT FOR FRANCE Many French Americans Are Serving In the War. "Foreign Legion" One of the Greatest Fighting Units. (By Ed L. Keen.) London, Feb. 20. Always ready for a feast or a frolic, and the greatest fighting unit m the French army, is the description aDDlied to the Frenr-h- American foreign legation by one of lis memoers, rnu Rader, Chicago Journalist, artist and soldier. Back on a furlough from the trenches where sometimes waistdeep in water, the troops nia irons the terrific rain of artillery fire, the Chioagoan today paimea an intimate, picture of the type of men who have adopted the tri colors as their flag in the present ti tanic war. There are Americana In the aertrtaA from every part of the United States and from every walk of life," said Rader today. "I think the most in teresting oi tne wnoie lot 1 met was Eugene Jacob, whose wife is running nis Duicner snop in rawtucket, R. I., while he fights for the French. Both he and his wife were born in Belgium. When the Germans reached that country his wife wouldn't let him go to tne war. even- wnen she learned that the little village that was her birthplace had been burned. But the next day when word came that his own family home had also been de stroyed, Jacob said to his wife that he could stand it no longer. He took boat, came over and enlisted. "Jacob is the most fervent German hater I know of. Even durirhr the Christmas truce he refused to lay his feelings aside and just before we left our trenches to. meet the Germans and exchange cigars and greetings, he fixed his bayonet and declared that if we brought a single German into the trenches he would kill him. All day Christmas he sulked. Then one day later a German, who was drunk, wandered into our trenches and In sulted us. We all respected his bravery and admired him but not Jacob. He and the German had a fist fight in the trench but afterwards they shook hands tnd became friends. Jacob told the German that if he had whined he would have killed him, but tnat ne round ne was a man, even tnougn a German." KANSAS BUILDING. (Continued from Page One.) sion at the St. Louis exposition, was over 128,000. Kansas has less than half the ap propriation of any other state par ticipating in the exposition, and its commission has been seriously ham pered in making a showing in this company. However, Kansas people will have reason, to be proud of what the state has at the exposition, although she is unable to appear in several of the de partments where Kansas should win the international prue. RUSH HITS A SHAG. (Continued from Page OneJ with prospects of developing into decisive battle on the banks of the River Pruth. In Galicia the repeated violent Austrian attacks against the Russian positions in the Carpathian passes have been costly to both sides but they have left the alignment little changed. In the west the' Germans are ham mering away in an endeavor to re cover lost ground and are reported to be keeping the British troops espe cially busy to the southeast of Ypres. in Belgium, and elsewhere along their comparatively extended front, but. ac cording to French and British claims without making appreciable gains. A new attack has been begun by the Russians on the fortified Galician city of Praemysl. whose resistance of the beselgers month after month has been one of the striking features of the campaign in the east. The Rus sians are. reported to have brought up new neavy guns ror tne assault. Else where in Galicia, according to unof ficial advices, the Russians have gained a measure of success, especial ly near Dukla Pass, where the Aus- trians are said to have suffered heavy losses in tne last lew days.

Severe fighting continues lm uis vicinity of Armen tieres and between Ypres and the sea where the Germans are continuing their efforts to cut 'the allied lines of communication. The fact that the British have' established several new bases In the north 'has apparently been reported to the Germans by air men as in nearly every instance the new attacks have been delivered' on line leading directly to them. The airmen of both parties are now. very active and not a day goes by that the forces in the trenches are not re galed with the sight of hostile observ ers flying above their beads. From Armentieres to the Ypres canal; at La Bassee and. near the Arras-Lens road, night attacks have been delivered by the Germans without suc cess and the allies deny the Berlin claims of gains of trenches in the north. From the Alsne to the heights of the Meuse beavy artillery exchanges continue with occasional infantry con flicts at certain points in the Cham pagne and Argonne regions- The French are gradually assuming the offensive along the Meuse and have possession of a number of bridge heads, which will be utilized when the time comes to throw a force acros the river.

Miss Bresette has been quietly at work on a bill asking for an Industrial commission to fix wages and hours for women laborers, to be Introduced into the senate. A welfare commission bill presented by Robert Stone, speaker of the house, was passed Thursday afternoon. During the discussion of the meas ure, the unusual and interesting spec tacle of a young woman addressing the members of the house of represen tatives was placed before the visitors. Miss Bresette was called upon by Speaker Stone to tell the members of the house some of the conditions that made such a measure desirable. The office of deputy factory inspec tor must be filled by a woman, and its purpose is to look after the conditions under which the women workers of Kansas perform their tasks. Miss Bre sette is the first person to hold such a position in this state, and there are, in fact, few such officers in the Unit ed States. She went ai the work with no precedent to follow, and created the system on which she conducts the business. She is now preparing a re port of the work of the department up to July, 1914. Visits the Factories. Miss Bresette visits all the factories of the state, the telephone exchanges, the packing houses, laundries, stores, etc. She talks with the girls and wo men employed, she personally Inspects the buildings and surroundings, inves tigates conditions of sanitation, the hours of labor, the character of the work done, and the wages paid for every class of labor. "I have found," Miss Bresette says, "that in a good many factories no fire eHcapes are on the buildings; some times there is no provision for ventila tion, and I found factories without any toilet rooms. In one of the factories, where the latter condition was found, I presented the case to the owner, telling him of a former employee who had left his factory, ill with rheuma tism, resulting from the conditions un der which she had worked. He agreed to remedy the fault in his plant, and the Mxt time I visited that towii r found, the- factory equipped with dressing room and rest room for the girls, furnished entirely at the em ployer's volition and in addition to the requirements of the law. "One of the large packing houses in Kansas City has become so much Interested in improving the condition of its women workers that the owners have gone far beyond the legal re quirements in matters of cleanliness, sanitation, etc., and have now decided to keep In their employ a woman so cial worker to help the girls in the plant. They are willing to pay a good sum to this assistant, whose business it shall be to look after the health of the girls, and to give them what protection she can, as well as advice and instruction." Object at First. "Do you find that the employers object to the state's interference in the conduct of t lr business?" Miss Bresette was askej. "They sometimes do at first," she replied. "But I try to make it plain that a proper regulation of the condi tions of the workers makes for the ultimate good of the business, and that it is always my purpose to be per fectly fair and Just to them. I am sure that the factory owners and man agers are coming to see that such is the truth. In our present efforts for welfare legislation, I have Just been told by one of the managers of one of the largest business concerns in Kan sas that he and his company would offer no objection whatever to the pending bill, because he believes that if I am supporting the measure it will be a good one and will work no unfair results." "How about the girls and women in places you visit? Miss Bresette was asked. "They are like all other girls, some of them intelligent, competent and ambitious. When the employees are paid small wages, spied upon and worked long hours. I find the natural tendency to loaf when the boss is not on hand. I find, also, that very few of the girls like to work under a woman overseer who has been pro moted from among themselves. And I find, too, that such a director of the work is often hardest to please and most severe in discipline. I recall such a case. "The girls in a shirt factory were planning a picnic for the evening after fl 113 FEE I of 7 variety, and at any tessonabte ace, wa,wu kbi can be Bade straight, natural and useful.

I had made a previous engage ment which I disliked to break. The girls told the woman boss that I had been invited to their picnic. She told them she was sure I would not be seen at their party and she was sure she wouldn't. Upon hearing of what she had said, I cancelled my previous appointment and went to the picnic." Pitiful Experiences. "One of the really pitiful experi ences of my work is noting the man ner of dress among the young women toilers. They do not buy substantial clothes that are suitable for their work. I went into a packing house where some girls were engaged on work that had to be done in one of the cold rooms of the plant. One wore a thin dress with a low neck and her underwear was summer weight. Her slippers were yellow satin, and she had a rag tied around her neck be cause her throat was sore. I spoke to her about her slippers, and she told me with tears that she could have but one pair of shoes, 'and I do so like to have pretty clothes,' she, added." "What do you think is the real hope for permanent betterment of the condition of the working girls?" was a question- asked of the inspector. "The regulation of their hours, wages, etc., is necessary and a good thing, but what they need most is teaching. They need technical train ing to make them capable of earning more; they need help in economical buying and an understanding of suita bility in clothing; they need teaching in many' directions that will promote their business success. I hope for the time when industrial training schools will be made available for these young women who are obliged to go to work early to support themselves and often to support families that are dependent on them." Miss Bresette's Bane Judgment, her sense of fairness, her deep vein of humor and common sense, her demo cratic temper, and her personal mag netism have made for her success in a new department fraught with pre viously unsolved difficulties.

An epidemic is killing many horses in Barton county. so far, it is estimated, several hun dred horses have died from the dis ea3e in the country around Great Bend. One of the heavy losers is Frank Nordman of near Heiser. Barton county. He has lost eight horses and has eight others sick. Jack Unruh of Great Bend lost six head of horses, and several others are reported who have lost from two to six head. In a farm near Olmitz thirteen horses, were stricken and seven of them have died. Just what the epidemic is the vet erinarians are not agreed. The dis ease is a germ disease and is very con tagious, and uniiKe tne disease that played havoc with the horses a couple of years ago, it affects mules as well as horses. FARMERS IN SCHOOL.

IT IS LiKUuGIl German Lutherans Hare a Strong Orgsmlsatiom. St. John's ETangeUcal. Luth eran Church Founded In 1t. r.Eur:n tot sci:::l Parochial School Was Estab lished Tears Ago. There Are Many Actlre Organi zations In the Church. (This Is the twentieth of a series of ar ticle on Topeka charcbes published la the State Journal.) The history of 8t. John's Evangeli cal Lutheran church, at corner of Second and Van Buren streets, dates back to 1872. The Rev. H. A. 8enne, pastor of a congregation at Alma, Kan., and missionary among the Ger mans in Kansas, preached his first sermon at Topeka In a hall south of the river. Later the Swedish Luth erans kindly offered their church to the Germans for services, and for four years German services were held at their church once a month. September IS. 1874, the congrega tion was organised under the Rev. Mr. Germann, who at the time was pastor of a church at Cottonwood Falls, Kan. The charter members were: Geo. Klein, sr., Carl Herboldsheimer, Oscar Krauss. Oscar Bischoff. Fred Meimpel and John Rlchter. May J7, 1875, the congregation was Incorpor ated. Three lota at the corner of Sec ond and Van Buren streets were pur chased for 1400. The organisation was weak at first and changes In the pas torate frequent. Two years after the incorporation the basement of a small atone building 25x40 was constructed which served aa a meeting place until 1879, at which time the church building waa completed and dedicated. The St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Chur ch. Corner Second and Tan Buren Sts. Rev. P. D. Mueller, Pastor St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. dedicatory sermons were preached by the Rev. II. C. Senne and Rev. F. W. Mueller. This stone structure was in constant use until 1888, serving as church, school, and a few years even as parsonage. More Room Was Needed. In 1888 a parsonage was erecfed at 21S Second street. After fourteen years of hard uphill work the con gregation had increased to such an stent that It became necessary to provide for more room. The old stone structure was torn down and the pres ent building, 40x88 feet In dimensions. erected. This building is used for services only and seats 450 persona The dedication took place in October, 188S. The building was renovated In list and a two-manual pipe organ In' tailed. In 1907 the congregation sold the old parsonage on Second street and appropriated $5,000 for a new parsonage on Van Buren street, and for moving the school to Second street. The church at the present time owns six lots on Second and Van Buren streets oh which there are the church building, the parsonage, and a school house. The last note was paid one year ago. The baptised membershln of the church at the present time is 688, of wmcn scz are communicant mem' bera, and 69 voting members. Voting members of the church are male members over the age of 21 years, naving signed tne constitution. In English and German. In 1888 the congregation affiliated with the Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states, the largest Lutheran church body In our country. Services are conducted in the German and English languages. The church ac cepts the canonical hooks of the Old and New Testament as being throusrh out the Inspired Word of God, and the only rule and standard In doctrine and life, and, as a correct exhibition of the doctrine of Holy Scripture, the Sym bolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran church, contained In the Book of Concord of the year IE 80 namely, the three ancient Symbols of tne wnurcn tne Apostolic, the DAD COLD?

School Was Founded. Soon after the organization of St. John's church a parochial school was founded which has been in a flourish ing condition to this date. The busi ness, management or tne scnooi is placed Into the hands of a school board chosen by the congregation, the pastor acting as supervisor of the school. It is not because the Luther ans are opposed to the publio school system that they erect and maintain their own schools and support their own educators. They know that with out the public schools our republic would be in great danger of losing its capability for self-government and In danger of lapsing Into utter ignorance. The foremost aim or the Lutheran parochial school is to give children a thorough and complete religious training. This training the state can not give, and if it wishes to Keep church and state separate, must never attempt to give. The Lutherans claim that every education, making any claim to completeness, must include a religious training. Education without religion is like a ship without a com pass. The moral education must be founded on and issue out of a relig ious training, because it supplies the only real basis for true morality. Since it la impossible to bring any kind of religious training into our public schools under a common head (because of the peculiar religious characteristics of the various church" denominations it is the solemn duty of the house and the church to pro vide for the religious training of our youth. t A Course in Religion. This conviction has impelled the Lutherans of Topeka to establish their own school and. to support it with their own money, without any finan cial support of the state. For the last 25 years Prof. W. H. Steinkamp has had charge of the school. Two languages, English and German, are taught. The aim of the school Is to give the pupil a complete course in religion and in secular training ap proaching the course assigned for the public schools in Topeka. The lower grades are in -charge of Miss Ida Senne, who has proven herself to be very proficient. After finishing the course of St. John's school it is cus tomary for our scholars to continue their studies in the public schools, en tering the eighth grade. Patrick Henry said in his last will and testament "I have disposed of an my worldly property to my fam ily, mere is one more thing I wish could give them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had this and i nad not given them a shilling. tney would be rich. But if they have not the Christian religion and I had given them all the world, they would e poor." The Lutherans are of the same opinion. They maintain their own schools, engage teachers of their own religious belief to teach their child ren the "fear of God. which is the be ginning of wisdom." The school has at present an enrollment of 60 pupils. W. H. Steinkamp was born in St. iouts, April is, 1868. After complet ing the course of the Lutheran paro chial school there, he attended the Lutheran high school, now known as waither college, and later entered the Normal school at Addison, III. He graduated in 1889 and in the same year entered upon school work in To- peica. Requirements Are High. The required muaical accomnllsh- mente of a Lutheran teacher are that ne be proficient on the pipe organ, en the piano, on the violin and also be able to lead a church choir. St John's choir consisting of mixed voices, if an old organisation and meets every Wednesday evening for nractice. It achieved fame in the fall of 1910 when during the session -of synod at St. John's it rendered a program of elev en numbers, chorals, cantatas and oth er selections. The choir was organ ised In 1879 by P. W. Weber and A. vogel. Prof. W. H. Steinkamp Is president and director. P. W.

OUTPUT A C'.LUtfl EGGS Latest Mohler Figures Reveal an Interesting Story. Topeka Is a Center for State Poultry Industry- Chicago, Feb. 20. How in certain instances the demands of western en gineers and firemen being arbitrated here, would run into absurd figures waa pointed out at the arbitration pro ceedings today by W. Trenholm, gen eral manager of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis Omaha. In his figures, Mr. Treholm considered the new rates of pay requested and the demands for automatic release, pay for preparatory time, initial and final terminal delay, and all elements involved in the de mands. He first cited a run of six trains be tween Elmira and Riverside. IaJ, on the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific whereby the application of all the rules and rates demanded an en gineer now earning .22i for. eight hours' work would receive 834 and his fireman $22. Another Rock Island crew. running between Cameron Junction, Mo., and Leavenworth, Kan., would receive $34.96 a day for the engineer and $22.68 for the fireman. the witness said.

Annual income from poultry in United States is $750,000,000. Poultry in Kansas number 15, 000,000 in rcund numbers. They produce a billion eggs a yeaev." "''Value of poultry and eggs for 1910 was placed at $21,525,930. Value of poultry and eggs sold from Kansas farms in 1914 was $10,876,368. J. C. Mohler. Average sales per farm in 1914 was $61 Kansas Farmer. Average sales per farm in Mitchell county was $93. Morton county received but $5 per farm for sales poultry and eggs Shawnee county $50. Value of poultry and eggs pro duced in Shawnee county in one year, $275,000. Number of carloads eggs han dled in Topeka annually, 700 14 trains of 50 cars each. Eggs handled in Topeka annually aggregate nearly 100,000. A single Topeka firm ships three hundred carloads of poultry every 12 months. Many carloads of shells go to world markets from here for chick en food and fertilizer. Tons of dried eggs are shipped from the capital city annually. farms of Kansas should not be as large as the sales from neighboring states? It would seem that there is no good reason and in fact it would appear that Kansas farmers were justified in producing a larger amount of poultry products per farm than are produced in any of the other states named. Conditions for poultry cul ture are in Kansas more favorable than in any of the other states named. "It will .be noted that Republic county leads with poultry product sales of $93; Mitchell next with $90; McPherson following with $83; Jewell, $82, and Dickinson, $79. The lowest return per farm is $5 in Morton coun ty. The map reveals that in the west ern counties the income per farm from poultry products is the smallest of all sections in the state. The farm ers of this section are justified in giv ing more attention to poultry culture. Their conditions are more favorable than those existing farther east and the need for an increased) product per farm is greater." ,.J' Topeka a Poultry Center. The table shows that Shawnee coun ty does not rank as high as many other Kansas counties in respect to average value of poultry sold from the farms. There is room for improve ment here, but at that Topeka is the greatest poultry center in the state, and is noted for its poultry fanciers and. judges. The Seymour Packing company is one of the greatest if not the great estpoultry concerns in the world. It has been said that Shawnee county has more poultry fanciers and judges to -the square inch" than any similar territory in the United States.

The foregoing table gives at a glance the enormity of the poultry business in the United States and Kan sas and indicates the fact that Topeka is a great poultry center. While the figures for Kansas seem almost incredible, yet the farmers are not living up to their opportunities. The Kansas Farmer has made an in teresting comparison of the sales of noultrv and esva from the farms of tne respective Kansas counties, ana the average for the Kansas iarm witn the averages of other states. Latest Poultry Figures. The total value of poultry and eggs sold from the farms of Kansas for 1914. as shown by the state board of agriculture, was $10,876,368. Dividing this amount by the numoer or larms in the state as shown by the 1910 cen sus, the average sales per farm amounted to $61. The average sales per rarm ny counties is shown by the accompany ing map which was prepared by the Kansas Farmer. The average sales of poultry and eggs per farm as shown by the 1910 census for the following states were: Iowa, $si; Illinois, vi; Ohio, $67; Missouri, $66. The same census reports $65 for Kansas.

The Topeka Automobile club ex pects to do some practical work in the development of good roads in the vicinity in the 1915 season. The good that can be accomplished with a littie organized effort was shown out at Watson some time ago when TopeKa business men and others toiled an en tire day in blowing up a hill east or Watson and bettering the condition ol a small section of the Red I.ine be tween here and Lawrence.

New York, Feb. 20. Increasing tension in the foreign situation, cou pled with further selling of our se curities from that quarter, were the paramount influences In this week's irregular Stock market. Prices rose and fell to the accompaniment of European advices, the downward movement being assisted at odd times by the formidable short interest. Quotations were at their lowest for the week yesterday, the decline be ing coincident with the decree of the British admiralty, ordering a suspen sion of travel between England and this continent. Domestic affairs were mainly In the direction of improvement, general business, both as to merchandise and the leading industries, manifesting an inclination to expand. This was borne out by a moderate increase of bank clearings at reserve centers outside of New York. Continued heavy exports also offered ground for encourage ment, but this was nullified to a great degree by the demoralized state of foreign exchange which fell to lowest rates in a generation. This unsettlement resulted pri marily from the refusal of the Bank of England to release any of its gold to this country, although conditions were altogether in favor of such a movement. Several small imports of goia were received from Canada, but It Is the opinion of bankers, the pre vailing situation can be remedied only by the placing of further foreign cred its in mis market Because of the strong local interest In motorcycles, Topeka has been se lected by the Hendee Manufacturing company, Springfield, Mass makers of the well known Indian motorcycle, as one of the desirable points for the initial inaian day display.

In a season marked bv a scarcity of important mechanical develop ments, the Indian stands out as the standard bearer of nine big improve ments. The Little Twin is the pion eer of its type, and is elf.' inert to be the most advanced lightweight model ever offered. In the development of ignition and lighting forming one instrument, the Indian blazes the way with the Magneto-Generator which has excited the admiration of electrical experts.

It is a 15 note of the Dallas Federal reserve bank,- printed from poorly etched plates, the secret service says, on two pieces of paper, with silk threads between.

It has been a tremendous task, this traveling almost every night and speaking from two to five times every day, and almost without exception to immense audiences, often overflow ing into the second and sometimes the third auditorium. The Sauadron's work and the character of its recep tion Is daily demonstrating the fact that the American people are- tired of their government's disgraceful partnership in grog-shop keening.

C, and Went Virginia to Cincinnati; stopping en route to speak in 85 cities in 80 da vs. and one has some small conception of the task the Flying Squadron performed before the holidays. But to fully appreciate this task one must go with the organization on all kinds of trains at all hours of the day and night, sleeping and eating with neril- ous irregularity, but working with perfect regularity and severity, speak ing in nans ana theaters and churches. In tents and out of doors; traveling by trolley or auto; sitting up in day eoaches sometimes practically all night. But nobody complained, and To the Editor of the .State Journal: I have read in tjie state Journal.the excellent defense made by Boy L. Bone. of the commission form of gov ernment as operated in Topeka.- Mr. Bone, however, neglected to mention one important advantage gained t by this form of government and I 'ask space to describe briefly the same. When the subject of paving Kansas avenue was first agitated the late Judge McFarlandJ at a public meet ing of property owners, appointed a committee of five to investigate and report on the subject. Three of the committee -are- now living Albert Knowles, Howel Jones and myself the other two ex-Governor Osborn and C. W. Jewell have passed over the divide. We visited Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansas City at our own expense, conferred with the city en gineers, gathered the results of ex perience in other .cities and finally re ported in favor of Colorado sand stone on steep grades and sheet asphaltum as a noiseless pavement on level streets. At that time ovens for baking paving brick had not been in vented. We had a severe struggle to keen the streets from being paved by combinations known to be worthless but which were fostered by influential nersons who were interested in the same, some of whom were city officials. Later on navinsr brick became com mon and a large percentage of the paved streets of Topeka are paved with brick. Under the old and dis carded form of ward government the- plumbers were allowed to tear up the Davement when, where and in what ever manner they pleased and to re pair the same with unskilled labor in the cheapest manner possible. The result was that the avenues and residence streets of the city were obstructed by large numbers of ridges where too much material had been used to fill the excavations and by ditches where not enough material had been thrown in. This made travel the streets unpleasant and ex pensive and shortened the life of the pavement. The plumbers were not to blame as they had to bid against each other to get the Jobs. Neither could the mayor, the city engineer or the councilmen be much blamed. But there was an unbusinesslike condition of uncertain and divided responsibil ity which is inherent in that form of city government which alone was re sponsible for the resulting waste and loss. Under the old form of government miles' of pavement' were poorly laid with inferior quality of brick, there seeming to be an utter want of infor mation or interest in the same by the public or- by-, the city authorities. Protests were sometimes made, by property-owners but without results. Immediately on the accession' of the new form of city government a re form was effected both in the repairs to old pavements and in the making of new. ones. j Let any voter or- tax payer examine the brick ..pavements of -recent years and compare jfteni with the pavements formerly laid and the most, skeptical will be convinced. bkuied labor is now employed to make repairs, the expense charged up to the property owners. Severe mois ture and what is known as "rattler" tests are now used -on all paving brick and with surprising results. No. one knows how much has been saved up to date by the commission form of government with its business like methods applied to repairing and pav ing the streets of Topeka. but it must amount in the aggregate to several hundreds of thousands of dollars. If details on this subject are desired let the enquirer interview Commissioner Tandy or the present city engineer. occasionally a good but mistaken citizen may be found who is opposed to commission form of government, but it is a universal rule that pave ment and sewer contractors and ward politicians wish to return to the form which so high an authority as Andrew D. White has stigmatized as the worst in use in any civilized country on earth exceptng possibly Turkey, Spain and Russia. NORRIS L. GAGE. Ashtabula, O., Feb. 17, 1915. SLOW BUT SURE. Business Situation Gradually Is Gain- Ing In Strength. TO DROfiBHl FiZLD The Y. W. C. A. to Employ a "Teen Age. Secretary. It Will Be Important Step, Say the Glacials. LENT injfGPEHA How It Is Observed Here and What It Means. Fasting Period of Forty Days Just -Before Easter. v u::.?m is co held Miss Dunham, Executive Sec retary, Assisting In Effort.- Feast of Resurrection and Good Friday In Period. She Tells What the ew Sec. retary Will Do Here. J New York, Feb- 19. Dun's Weekly Review says: v. Some further progress is noted in the direction of increased trade, al though conditions are very irregular and do not apply with equal accuracy to all sections and all branches of business. The west, owing to the great demand and high prices for wheat. Is more prosperous than other parts of the country. Conditions In the south have been Improved by the larger exports of cotton, but that sec tion still feels the effects of recent depression. Taking everything into considera tion, while the business situation Is still controlled by conservatism, prompted by unprecedented world conditions, it is steadily gaining in strength and activity, and the rate of progress, while it seems slow from week to week, is remarkable indeed when measured- by months. Bank clearings for the week (Ave days) amounted to 12,584,659.419, a decrease of 14.4 per cent as compared with the same week last year. Through the employment of a secre tary for girls, the Topeka Young Women's Christian association expects to extend its sphere of usefulness. A campaign Is in progress with a view to making it possible to hire such a Secretary. The Y. W. C. A. is 77 per cent self-supporting; the remaining 23 per cent must be made up through subscriptions by generously inclined citizens. Naturally the work of a sec. retary for girls would bring in no di rect financial returns. It is a work that should be done. Miss Mary MacLennan, a member of the board of directors of the Y. W. C. A., and chairman of girls' work committee, has taken an active in terest in the movement for a girls' work secretary. It was through the girls of her department that the need of this new position was felt. Miss MacLennan explained in detail at the annual banquet for subscribers Tues day night the work that has been done in the last few months in organising clubs among girls. Miss Dunham on "Teen Age." Miss Marcia O. Dunham of Denver, executive secretary for the west-central Y. W. C. A. field, is In Topeka for the purpose of assisting in the cam paign. Miss Dunham is familiar with the work among girls in other cities and has some well defined views of her own which any association might well adopt. "The 'teen, age' is a phrase that has lately come into popular use," said Miss Dunham today. "Books are writ ten about it; psychologists are study ing it. Boys and girls of 'teen age' are recognized as about the most im portant members of society, because no matter how well their fathers and mothers have builded, those same boys and girls grown to manhood and wom anhood unless they have been- trained in the way they should go, may be come destroyers instead of builders. "Educators are beginning to recog nize that the highly trained teacher is as essential if not more essential for the grade school as the college, and social workers and church workers are trying to reach the Toy and the girl on the theory that an ounce of pre vention is worth a pound of cure. Now Is the Time. "It is this reasonable theory that has led the Topeka Young Women's Christian association to decide that now is the time to have a girls' secre tary. Two years ago the national con vention of the association passed a resolution that special emphasis be placed upon work' for-girls from ten or twelve to sixteen or eighteen years of age, and the national board through its secretarial department has been finding and training secretaries for this particular kind of work. "The girls' secretary has to be a very clever young person for She has to know not only all about the prin ciples and aims of the Young Wo men's Christian association but she has to have a special knack with girls. She has to know how to Interest and lead school girls, and how to make friends of young working girls, and just girls, and more tnan this, she has to gain the confidence of the fathers and mothers. Secretary Works Through Clubs. "Usually the girls' secretary works inrougn ciuds. uins, like boys, are gregarious animals and get along bet ter in groups. These clubs are of all kinds and names. Girl Guardians. which is something like the Boy Scouts only with womanly rather than manly aims. Camp Fire Girls, Blue tsiras, or any one of a dozen others, all having the purpose of develonine. through ordinary work and play, the ideals of life which will make them true ana useful citizens. "Each club has its president and of ficers which develop self-reliance and leadership. Through games of all Kinas is created a spirit of fair nlav. and simple gymnasium exercises and quiet talks give training in the care and development of the body. In the spring and summer the girls be come acquainted with the birds and nowers on short hikes and Dicnics and sometimes there is a week at a real camp under the watchful care of the secretary. A plan is on foot for -a Kansas girls' camp and a special week may be set aside for these younger girls. Plenty of Work To Do. 'That the girls' secretary of the To peka association will find plenty to ao no one can doubt who walks down Kansas avenue and notion the nnm ber of 'teen age' girls there are In the city. It would be surprising to know now many young girls come in from the country looking for employment, and the girls' secretary, who will give pan or ner lime to tne employment bureau of the association will find an unusual opportunity to get in touch wim tne girls."

Fred Hanschen Puts Paper in Wheat and Catches Thief. Lewis, Kan., Feb. CO. Fred Han schen. a farmer living ten miles south of Lewis, never took a correspondence course in "detecting," but he has qualified for the title of western Kan sas' premier sleuth. For many weeks Hanschen has been missing wheat. It went in sufficient quantities that the farmer decided it was not being eaten by chickens- or stock. One morning this month with wheat quoted at $1.52, he missed an unusually large amount. Hanschen proceeded to prepare dozen pieces of paper on which he wrote his name. He placed these In the wisest so that the thief could not take any without getting several of the tell-tale clips. He missed more wheat and an investigation showed a number of these bits of paper In the woir elevator oit at Lewis. Mr. Wolf had .purchased but one load of wheat that day and It was an easy matter to learn the identity of the thief. The A. H. T. A. took up the matter, with the result that the man Observers Supposed to With draw From Pleasures. Now that the season of Lent is here it might be interesting to those out side of the churches which observe It, to know more of this season and why it is and how it should be kept. Lent Is a fasting period of 40 days (Sundays excepted) immediately be fore Easter. Sunday is always a feast day in the church, therefore, is not included. The name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word lencten meaning spring. Therefore, the spring fast. Occurring in the spring because East er, the feast of the Resurrection, oc curs in the spring, and so also must Good Friday, which commemorates the Crucifixion, and therefore is the Friday next preceding Easter. The practice of observina- Lent originated some time before the rourth century, A. D. Originally the fast included only Good Friday and one or two days preceding and follow ing, but gradually the length of time was increased until finally the church ueciaea to establish a definite period of 40 days. The Redeemer of the .world having spent 40 days in fasting, prayer and retirement, before begin ning his arduous three years' ministry, it was argued that 40 days was the least length of time each year that a Cristian should properly spend In confirming and quickening his faith and gaining strength for the battle of life. During Lent the observer is exneet- ed to withdraw from all worldly and distracting pleasures, to fast, and through prayer, introspection, fre quent communions, and increased at tendance at public worship and spirit ual lectures, to quicken his inclina tions toward charity and self denial for the good of others. Perfect observance, accordina- tn that old idea, and as still required by the noman ana ureeK tjatnolic churches, demands the abstaining from meat on all days and absolute faatinar un til after sunset on Fridays and other regular last aays. The Lenten season in the Roman church, also in the English church. and its American branch, the Protest -and Episcopal church, takes the place. io a ureal exieni, oi tne more or less frequent revivals held by other Chris tian churches. And when kept In a proper, enlightened and sincere man ner, is fraught with areat rood, not alone to the individual and church observing it, but to the world at large as well. In Topeka, the special Lenten de votions at the Church of the As sumption will be Rosary, Sermon and Benediction Sunday and Wednesday evenings, and The Stations of the Cross and Benediction Friday evenings. The services at Grace Cathedral will be 4:30 p. m. every week day, ex cept Saturday; 8 p. m. Fridays, serv ice especially for the men, and Holy Communion Tuesday and Thursdays at 10 a. m. FIGHT WELFARE BILL. Senate Has Cloudy Feeling for Indos- trial Commission Measure. That it will not all be easy sledding for the industrial welfare commission bill which passed the house of repre sentatives with flying colors yesterday was indicated when the senate took up consideration of the McMillan bill which is directed at the same object. Without waiting for the printing of the Stone bill from the house, the senate this morning proceeded to the consideration of the McMillen bill, and before long was busily engaged in tacking minor amendments to it. The senate went into-the afternoon session discussing an amendment by Senator Francis Brice of Clark county, which proposed to bar the operation of the law in counties of less than 15,000 population. Price, who is one of the leaders of the upper house, is not particularly friendly to the wel fare commission bill, which is intend ed to ameliorate the condition of women workers. He said there was no condition of labor in western Kan sas which such a commission could benefit and he did not want his sec tion of the state bothered with it. He pointed out that the welfare com mission idea was made to apply to the big industrial centers of New England where it originated and that it has little opportunity for useful ness in an agricultural state like TfAnftn.fi. "But there has got to be about so much freak legislation to satis ry tne Kansas appetite, he oeciarea. -Ana I'd rather fill the measure with harm less laws like this one than with those that are positively injurious. Only. I don't want the law made to apply to' western Kansas which has not now and probably never will have any such industrial problems as this is intended to regulate." The attitude of most of the rest of the senate, however, appeared to he entirely friendly to the bill and none of the emendations suggested were such as to cripple it. New Korton Postoffice. Norton. Kan.. Feb. 20. A postoffice inspector has been in Norton for the past three days for the purpose of investigating the various buildings about the city in which to locate the postoffice.

1 READY JFOn 17AR? Battery A" Will Be Inspected Monday and Taesds.7. Talk of Encampment at Fort Riley in Jalj. Attention Battery "A!" This efficient organisation will be at its best next Monday and Tuesday when there will be a government in spector here. Captain Grimes expects to have 90 per cent of the organisation present Monday evening for the per sonal inspection. The equipment, at the Armory is valued at between $150,000 and $200, 000. Every item will be checked even the bolts. The idea is to ascer tain just how well equipped for ser vice the battery would be in case of a "hurry up" call if war were declared. Other batteries are being inspected in the same manner. Battery "A" has Just received an other new escort wagon this makes three in the last few weeks. Captain Grimes has written to all the members of the battery who are out of town asking them to report in Topeka Monday night. The member ship is now 104: Captain Grimes hopes to hake it 133 in the next few months. He announced today the probability that the battery will go to Fort Riley for encampment in July. DON'T LIKE THE BILL. Shawnee Bar Association Protests Against Wabaunsee Annexation. ina r romimi the Kansas law makers that they are not in favor of the bill which will come oeiore me legislature soon to annex Wabaunsee fftiintv to the Shawnee county district court, an informal meeting of the Shawnee County Bar association was held this morning in the second di vision court room. George McDer mott acted as chairman of the infor mal meeting. A motion to appoint Senator Trout man and Representatives Bird and Stone to recommend that the bill be speedily added to the legislative list was adopted by the lawyers. Clad Hamilton and Ed McKeever were ap pointed to. carry tidings of the result of the meeting -to Troutman, Stone and Bird. The legislative bill will be put be fore the legislature in an effort to cut down the number. of district judges in the state. Wabaunsee county is now in a circuit with other counties in the state. Should the bill, to which the law yers take exception,' go through it will mean that one of the district judges of Shawnee county will have to go to Wabaunsee county three times each year. District court work is exceptionally heavy in Shawnee county and the an nexation of Wabaunsee would of course tend to pile more work on the Shawnee judges. SENATE PASSES SIX.

After 27 Years of Married Life, Cora Hilton Is Discouraged. A man, attempting to intercept young man and a woman Friday night near the scene of former assaults and hold-ups near Willow park, was thwarted by the interference of J. E. Wilson and Frank Wilson. The Wil sons were walking north on Morris avenue about 10 o'clock Friday night wnen tney saw a man step out irom behind a bush and follow a couple. When the would be hold-up saw the two men he ran. Efforts to catch him failed. The matter was reported to the police Friday night who failed to report the incident to the members of the sheriffs office who are making an attempt to stamp out crimes of this nature in the west end of the city.

The McMillan industrial welfare commission bill struck a chiHing frost in the senate Friday, which finally sent It into what Its friends fear will be permanent cold storage in tne Ju- diciarv committee. Detects m tne draftinsr of the measure wnicn wouia have rendered it ineffective had it been enacted were pointed out in sev eral sections and after a futile effort to obtain the proper amendments on the floor of the senate, the motion to refer it to the Judiciary committee carried. The most chilling treatment of tne bill was administered by Senator Price of Clark county, who denied the need of the enactment of such measure in Kansas in this generation. This bill is of a piece with the sort of legislation that has long been popular in Kansas and whose only ef fect fs to embarrass the activity of the capital which ought to be encouraged to come here to develop our resources. There Is no demand for such a law except that which comes from the mawkish sentlmentaiism wnicn tenas its unthinking endorsement to any measure raised uo in the name of re form. It is urged that the women of Kansas demand this enactment.

When Kansas has reached that stage It will be time enough to appoint commissions to reg ulate the condition. of the workers."

All attempts to break through the Ger man tines, however, failed. In some places the enemy entered into the ad vanced German trenches where fight ing sun continues, otherwise the enemy was repulsed and suffered heavy losses. To the north of Verdun a French attack also was repulsed. Near Com bres preparations for renewed French attacks were made by violent artillery oumoarumeni. ngnting still con tinues in the Vosges. The Germans stormed the enemy's main positions of two kilometers on the heights to the west of Sulzern and also on Reich sackerkopf to the west of Muenster. A Dattie tor possession of the height to the north of Muehlbach is going on. Metzerland and Sandernach have been occupied by the Germans after a bat tle.

He Obtains Conviction When the State Court Falls. Topeka sportsmen are framing a petition against the final passage by the legislature of the bill which went through the senate this week which they claim throws the bars down to the free use of seines in all Kansas streams. That the senate unwitting ly spoiled the rigid fish protection laws of the state in its efforts to further fortify them, is the claim made by R. T. Willette and A. M. Corp of this city who are now circulating the petition. "The senate bill repeals the prohi bition against the practice of fishing near the mouths of streams and un der dams and lets anybody use a two Inch aelne who. wants to without any hindrance," declared Mr. Willette today- "I don't believe the legislature intends to do it. but if this bill is passed in the, shape It left the senate it will mean -the end of fish protec tion ia Kansas. Where the old law permitted the restricted use of three inch mesh seines under a bond, the proposed law will let anybody hunt fish with a finer seine still. "Sportsmen who want protection for their game ought to line up for the defeat of the so-called Williams bill. It was introduced with the object of stopping the practice of 'hogging' or catching fish by hand during the spawning season, as well as to permit seining below the Lawrence Kaw dam and in the Missouri river. But the amendments that were shot into It have ruined all the fish protection laws we have. The only good thing about the bill Is that it appears to be so drawn as to be unconstitutional and I don't believe it would be effective if finally passed. But we hopei to be able to show the house of representa tives where it will be better to kill the Williams bill outright. The state is spending thousands annually on fish hatchery but now proposes to throw down the bars to the market fishermen. We're against it." STEEL DLLS CLOSE.

At the Grand Tuesday Night. been anxious to have the American public know him better for what he does. He decided. that the most ef fective way to form this acquaintance is through the medium of moving pie-, tures. He recognized, at the same time, that Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival is the one attraction before the public exceptionally well quali fied to introduce our "New Navy" to the public because this entertainment commands the patronage of the most cultured, discriminating and thought ful audiences throughout the nation. For this reason he extended excep tional facilities and privileges to Howe's staff photographers during the two years they were engaged in filming every phase of naval life which will be reproduced at the Grand tonight. "A Pair of Sixes.' One of the reasons for the extraor dinary success of "A Pair of Sixes," which H. H. Frazee sends to the Grand for one performance, Tuesday, February 23, is the fact that the plot furnishes one unending surprise and as Mark Twain once defined laughter as a spasm induced by a sudden shock or surprise, the inference is plausible that there is considerable laughter at the unusual situation in "A Pair of Sixes." When the comedy was first suggested, there was dis sent from the wise ones and some con cern as to whether the title would draw full houses. The wisdom of the author has been demonstrated, for never has any comedy been so long successful on Broadway. The never ending complications resulting from the use of the little pair of sixes His Studio Way lp In Michigan, Has the Novelty for the First Three Days prototype, patched, resoled and stuffed to fit the feet of the present in cumbent and who wears her gown but the real triumph is in the facial ex pression. Never have the possibilities of "changing one's face been more graphi cally demonstrated than in the char acter role of Coddles. Without any apparent effort Coddles runs the gamut of expression from placidity to wild amusement, then to surprise, coupled with a sense of the ridiculous. Laughter next, surprise again, then tears and cringing fear. The keynote of the characterization is in the arrangement of the hair. Drawn smoothly back, it aids more than any thing else in producing that expression of absolute simplicity just a trifle less than vacuity that proclaims the type. After that Coddles relies chiefly upon a remarkably versatile set of features and without grease paint contrives to create furrows and crow's feet at will. Her face in repose is singularly free from even a hint of lines except the fore head. The lines the audience sees there in the slavey are natural. There is a bit of make-up on each cheek, a smudge under the eyes to deepen the sockets, and the eyebrows are "drabbed. The rest is due to the abil ity of a remarkably clever character CAUSA lsme-Vltar anA Tn a.rr'i mint unro- etrained and surprises and shocks are so- frequent that the average audience nnas it aimcuit to retain its equili brium.

It is truly a won derful motion picture of the battle field suffering and the domestic trag- eaies or civil strife.

The story by Porter Emerson Browne and the picture is in five acts. Cecil Fanning. -A Berlin newspaper prints the fol lowing about Cecil Fanning, who will be at the Grand March 5 under the Radcliffe concert series: "Among the best and. most successful baritones in his own country.. Fanning came to, Berlin a perfect stranger as far as the Germans' and quite t'. especially the critics were concerned.,, Both contin gents have received him with open arms and the treatment he has re ceived from the press belies the oft repeated assertion that the Berlin critics are prejudiced against Ameri cans." The paper stated that the program chosen by Fanning was a difficult one, but one which was well calcu lated to reveal the artist's versatility as a vocalist and Interpreter. It open ed with two old arias by Monteverde and Gretry, says the paper, in which the singer revealed beautiful tone productions and reliable technique and commendable breath control. He was applauded to the echo and called back in all eighteen times. The Colored Minstrels. The Colored Y. MCA. led by "Old Hoss" Martin, will present an ama teur show at the Grand on the even ing of March 5. But this minstrel show will have its professional feat ures.

The last time the minstrel was presented, every seat in the theater was taken. At the Orpheum. Lillian Russell in a sensational racing play. "Wildfire," is the feature at the Orpheum for Monday and Tuesday.

On the day of the big handi cap, the scheme to throw the race is overheard in the nick of time and Miss Russell climbs to the flag pole and prevents her horse from losing.

The film is in five reels and was produced under the direc tion of Wm. Brady. "Run Away June" will be featured Wednesday and Max Figman in "The Truth Wagon" comes Thursday.'

Just as the Bowsers had finished dinner the other evening an express wagon drove up with a parcel, and as it was brought in Mrs. Bowser looked at it and turned for an explanation. Mr. Bowser didn t give one until tney got upstairs. Then he assumed a look of superior wisdom and began: "Do you know the money value or the property annually destroyed by fire in the United States?" "It must be quite large," replied Mrs. Bowser. "It amounts to ten millions of dol lars, my dear woman. Not only that, but at least 1,000 lives are sacrificed to the fire fiend every year. Business is Interrupted and ruined, homes are made desolate, wives made widows and children made orphans by the de vouring element. You should read up on the statistics. They will furnish you more food for reflection than a hundred novels. "Have you posted yourself?" she asked, with a tartness to ner tones. "Certainly I have. Tou don't imag ine I am talking through the top of my head, do you? It was my duty to post myself, and I know all about it. There were just 11.329 fires In the country last year, and the loas was exactly 8128,282,747.29. The point I set out to make is that of these 11,' 329 fires 9,288 were due to careless ness." "How carelessness?" "The carelesspess of women and children mostly. Every time you heat your curling-tongs you may set fire to the house. The cook's carelessness may start a fire in the kitchen. Tou light the gas and drop a match. The cook flings matches about where the rats can get at them. At any hour of the day or night your absent-minded ness may reduce this home to ashes. "And how about your leaving light ed cigars stubs around?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "Tou have burned three holes In the carpet, spoiled the piano cover, set the curtains on fire and done other damage." "Woman, I am talking statistics!" shouted Mr. Bowser as he turned on her with such majestic dignity that the cat wondered if she had ever met him before. "Passing over the fact that you and the cook and even this infernal old cat are liable to set this house on fire any day in the year, let me say that if people had been pre pared for fires there would not-have been half the loss of property given in the statistics. While I can't watch over you from hour to hour, I can In a measure offset your carelessness by being prepared to nip a conflagration In the bud." "Then the package downstairs Is a conflagration nipper?" she asked. "Don't try to be funny, woman. This is a matter not only of dollars and cents, but of life and death, and I want it treated seriously. That pack age down the hall is a fire extin guisher. Tou may at some time or other have heard of one. the same as you have heard of a pile driver or a threehing machine." "Yes, I have heard of them." 7. "They are to extinguish incipient conflagrations. For instance, I awake at midnight and smell smoke. I leap out of bed and come down here to find a fire just starting In that closet a lire due to carelessness. J-ieit to itself for five minutes more and away would go the house and our lives, but by means of the extinguisher I ex- i tinguish it." "Which is very kind of you!", she observed. "Still tryinat to be funny, are you? The object is to provoke me, but it will fail. I have not yet purchased the extinguisher, but brought It home to test it. I want you to learn haw to handle it, so that you may be pre pared in my absence, it wm also ne well for the cook to know, how." Are you going to set the house afire in order to put it out?" "No, ma'am, I am not. I am going to set fire to a pile of newspapers on tne cement noor or tne cellar ana then show you hew to douse the flames out. There will be some little smoke, but that can go out of the windows."

The cook felt the same way, but she wanted to keep her place for the winter. Before going down cel lar Mr. Bowser unwrapped the extin guisher and explained what it was charged with and how it worked. He also gave a brief history of the great Chicago fire, which might have been prevented by a cool man and an ex tinguisher. Then the trio proceeded down cellar, and he heaped up a lot of old newspapers and gave a history of the Boston conflagration, which could also have been checked lp its Infancy by one squirt from a squirter. "Now, then." he continued as he opened the cellar windows and got ready to strike a matcn, we will make this scene as realistic as possi ble. It is midnight. I awake to smell smoke and bear the faint. crackling of the destructive flames. I bound out of bed without saying anything to anybody, and as I come downstairs I find the cellar ablaze. It is from the cook's carelessness as she brought up coal for morning. I seised the extin guisher and come dashing down, and. though it appears as If no human power could stay the conflagration, I tackle it and have it oat la twenty- seconds. I will now light the papers and show you how the thing works." As the papers were alight he rushed upstairs after the- extinguisher. A minute later he -appeared with It strapped to his back and the nozzle in his hand. He had meant to keep very cool and do the thing up beauti fully, but he grew excited over It, and as he was met by a volume of smoke he lost his head and his footing at the same time. With a whoop and a yell he fell forward downstairs and rolled over and over to the cellar bottom. As he rolled, the extinguisher tried to extinguish, but instead of the stream striking the flames it played on Mr. Bowser's bead and feet and body on the ceiling above and the walls around on the, women who tried to rush forward' and help him up. The pile of papers biased, and the smoke poured out of the windows, and it wasn't thirty seconds before someone was pounding at the front door and yelling "Fire!" Mrs. Bowser and the cook dodged the fire and the extin guisher and fled upstairs, but it wae too late. A score 01 people crowueu in as soon as the door was openeu, and without asking questions they dived down into the kitchen and snatched up anything that could hold water. Mr. Bowser had got up by this time and had got control of the squirter, but he couldn't get upstairs for the people who were throwing down wa ter. As he yelled and shouted and swore an engine came rattling up, a hose noszle was thrust into the open window and during the next five min utes 30 barrels of ice cold water gush ed into the cellar. Everything, in cluding Mr. Bowser, was afloat and soaked and chilled to the marrow when Mrs. Bowser finally made the over-zealous populace understand the situation. Then Mr. Bowser was hauled out of the window by a fire man, and while Mrs. Bowser and the cat stood on the steps above and the populace crowed around, the fireman held the fire, statistician up against the wall and called him seventeen kinds of a Buncomb county fool, and added that he ought to be drowned like a rat is a tub. Five minutes later Mr. Bowser stood in his own front hall, with the door shut aftes him, and the crowd dispersed. He was soaked and limpy and smoke-begrimed and half scared to death, but he remem bered his dignity. "Well, the incipient conflagration has been extinguished," observed Mrs Bowser as she looked him over. "It is extinguished I" bo hoarsely re plied. "Yes, woman, the Incipient son flagration has not only been extin guished, but you have been been sh tlngulshed with it!" "Then it was all my fault, was It?

WASHINGTONS BIRTH DAY EDDYTORIUL Test as we was about to eo to press with this ishue of the Bugle was tumble hard put to it for a subieck to dash off a eddvtoriul about we happend to take a look at the new callender for 1915 whitch Ame Hillyer, our talented loryer, leggal lite J. of the P. presented us with to see whot the next date of this ishue would be and then it dawned on us that to- morrer (Febooary 22) is Georee Washingtons birthday whitch fackt would of excaped us altogether if we haddent of happend to consult the callender until later on then you wouldnt be reading this abel eddytonul about George, as vou are doing at the, present minnit. For some yrs. we have wrote every per annum a oologv on G. Washington about this time of yr.j found. George said, however, that and it would of been a tumble cal- if he was eleckted he would ackt amitty if we had not did so on this as president of the TJ. 5., and so ospishus occashion. J he was and performed the duties of It makes us blush for shame this important ottis to tne oest ot when we pause to think that some his several ability. ot the most respeckted cittizens otj une pecoonar tmng aixmt this town dont even know who! Washington was tnat ne couldnt I seen him onct when he was alive." Being as G. Washington has been dead over 100 yrs. and Ham aint but 55 yrs. old hissetf we was a good eal surprised at this state ment so we askt Ham where he had saw Washington when he seen him. "Right here in Bingville is where I seen him," says Ham. "It was at Town Hall two yrs. ago last spring when that travelin troop played Uncle Toms. Cabjn-r-JGeorge Wash ington was the feller who crost the Dellyware Rivert..n the ice with the bloodhounds; chasio him ''J We was so disgusted that we ordered Ab and Ham both outen the offis and told em theyd better go home and "read up. their nach eral histories and find oat who G. Washington was before they went and made fools outen theirselfs. G. Washington was the Father of His Country at a time when his country didnt have no father and needed one tumble bad. This was in 1775 when George was unani mously eleckted general of the Revolooshionary War and helpt to give the British a doggone good iickin. George would ruther fite that ete when he was hungry and he diddent take no back talk from ennybuddy. After the war was over the pee pul wanted George to be King of the United States but he refused to take the job probably becus at that time the country was poor and like as not sich a posishion didn't pay him moren $15 icy places in winter and breakin their fool necks like as not Fast time Zeke put on the creepers he was out in front of the house, where it was icy. showin Sim Thompson, his next door naber, how nise they worked when all to onct while Zeke was caperin around his feet slipt out from under him and he fell, lighting on his head and shoulders with a dull, stkkening thud hard enuff to bust hisself. Zeke got mad and throwd the ice creepers as fur as he could fling em and says he hopes heU'.newer see em agin. Sam Snyder of this place has been sprucin up quite a bit of late. Not long ago Sam bought a new store, suit at the co. seat and for several Satter day evfrs past he has dressed hisself, all up with a high paper collar on and spent the evg at the residence of Miss Susan Woodberry, staying as late one evg as 9 p. ra. Is your inteneshions tords Susan serious. Sam? These- is about all the items we can think up this wk, but look out for us next wk-r-no telling whatH happen by that time. PRO BONO PUBLICO. HARDSCRABBLE Bill Hayward while over to the co. George Washington was never heerd of him. While we was writ ing these lines Abner Doolittle dropt into the Bugle offis to rest and chat for a spell and Abner tell a lie. We dont know why this was, but it was true whenever George would try to tell a lie he would choke and stammer and him and haw and gasp finally wind no seat one day last wk bought a red wool swetter becuz it was sich a turrible bar gain, being as it only cost a doller a haff. but it was turrible the for Bill. Finally, with his wife's nelo. he man aged to git it on. but now he can't git it off and Bill calkilates that he'll haft to wear it until it wears out. We cal- kilate when next Juli conies Bill will be full warm enuff with that red swetter on hisself and that he'd better be mighty keerful not to cross enny past-. chure where a red bull is grazm. Sime Goodwin, our P. M. is having a speshial sale of two ct. stamps all this wk. or until the supply is exosted. Last dog days a whole mess of these stamps whitch Sitne had on hands got all stuck per month and j together and Sime is selling same at the rate of six twos tor iu ct rumern soaic the stamps apart hisself and sell em at the reglar rate. Jake Hanover is up and about agin after having a severe attack of a heal ing in his ear. Jake says his head aked him so' bad by spells that he thort to grachious his head would bust open and splatter his brains all over the room. He says he wouldn't want a snake to have a healing in its ear and he hates snakes like mjno.-- OBSERVER. Fresh Eggs Wanted Hen Weathersby, prop, of our general store is maddern a wet hen this wk over a skandalus mean trick whitch Bige Barker playd on him. Hen a nounced to his custummers that he would pay 25 cts per dor or trade for strickly fresh eggs and so tother day Bige he brung a doz. eggs to the store in a basket and Hen was buzy waitin on another custummer and so Hen told Bige to put the eggs from the basket in to the egg box whitch Bige done and then Hen askt Bige what he desired in exchange for the eggs when he got around to it and Bige said he calkilated he take tobacko so Hen give him two plugs and a haff. L After Bige had went Hen examind the eggs and to his consternashion surprise he found that they was eggs whitch had been put down in water flass worter sometime last fall and that lige had cammed em off on him as strickly fresh. Hen says them eggs whitch Bige worked off on him is so old and indigent that the contents is loose inside the shell and rattles when they are shook. Hen also says that folks don t need to think they can work off their old eggs on him for fresh ones and that unless Bige Barker pays a quarter for that tobacko Bige is liable to find hisself a rested and in the town lockup for obtaining tobacko under false pertenses. Lokal Breefs askt us what we was a writing and by telling the truth,, the hole truth we told him we was dashing off a eddytoriul on George Washington who was one of the greatest men who ever lived before he was borned or sinst he has died. "And is he dead?" says Abner a good eal surprised. "Of course hes dead says we in deep disgust at Abners ignorunts. Gosh, says Abner, scratchin his head, "and I never even knowd George was on the sick list!" Just then Ham Petersby also dropped in and when we told him that Abner jest lernt for the 1st time that Georee Washington was dead. Ham like to of bust hisself laffin at Abner, and told him he ort to be ashamed to expose his ignorunts in that manner. This kind of rousled up Ab, who up and askt Ham what be knowd about this George Washington if ennythink? Ab says, "Ham Petersby, lie bet if the truth was knowd, you didnt know George Washington was dead!" "Well," says Ham, "I Hadnt heerd of George be in tuk off, but and nuthin but the truth. If ennv- buddy in Bingville couldnt tell a lie like George Washington couldnt it would be a turnhle afflicksmon for em to bear.

Bralne, Olga and Vroon are taken to the Siberian mines to end their lives. Hargreave, who has been acting as the butler for Florence's protection, reveals his identity and embraces his daughter. Then he Joins the hands of Florence and Norton, after which he takes them to Florence's room where he turns the portrait of himself and presses a button, the back of the portrait then opens and he places her hand on the million dollars.

IT will be remembered that the Count-is Olga had darted up the stairs during the struggle between Bralne and hia captors. The police who had followed her were recalled to pursue one of the lesser rogues. Tiiis left Olga free for a moment She stole out and down aa far aa the landing. Servan, the Buasiaa agent, stood waiting for the taxlcab to roll up to the porto cochere for himself, Bralne, and Vroon. Norton had taken Florence by the hand, ostensibly to con duct her to the million. Suddenly Bralne made a dash for liberty. Norton rushed after him. Just as he reached Bralne a ahot waa heard. Braine whirled upon hia heels and crashed to the floor. Olga, Intent upon giving injury to Norton, whom ahe "regarded equally with Hargreave as having brought about the downfall, had hit her lover instead. With a cry of despair she dashed back into Florence'a room, quite ready to end it all. She raised the revolver to her temple, shuddered, and lowered the weapon: so tenaciously do we cling to life. Below they were all stunned by the suddenness of the shot Instantly they sought the fallen man'a side, and a hasty examine tion gave them the opinion that the man waa dead. Happily a doctor was on the way, Servan having given a call, aa one of the Black Hundred had been badly wounded. But what to do with that mad woman up-. atalrat Hargreave advised them to wait The houae waa surrounded; she could not pos sibly escape save by one method, and perhape that would be the best for her. Hargreave looked gravely at Norton as he offered this suggestion. The reporter understood: the millionaire was willing to give the woman a chance. "And you are my father?" said Florence, still bewildered by the amazing events. Bat I don't understand!" her gate roving from the real Jones to her father. 1 "I don't doubt it, child, replied Har-greeve- I'll explain. -When I hired Jones hers, who la really Jedson of Scotland Yard, X did so because we looked alike when shaven. It waa Jedson here who escaped by the balloon; it waa Jedson who returned the five thousand to Norton; it waa Jedson who waa wounded in the arm; it waa he who watched the goings of the BlacV Hundred and kept me reasonably well informed. I myself guarded you, my child- Last night unbeknown' to you, I left, and the real Jones for it is easier to call him that took my place. "And 1 never saw the difference ex claimed Florence. "That Is natural" smiled the father. Ton were thinking of Norton here instead fan,, tar Florence blushed. "Wett, why not? .Hece Norton!" Th millionaire took Florence'a hand and placed it In the reporter's. It seems that I've gof to leas her after sill Kiss her. man; la heaven'a name, kiss her!"

Horn The Idea Came to Her. Into thie earn home this very story yon are reading today carries th new that the daughter is to receive $10,000 in cash, like a diamond falling from the aky. There will be a thrill In these lines for th girl. Miss Ida Damon of 8731 Minnesota ave nue, St. Louis. The 70 year old father, Al bert, and the Industrious mother, Caroline, will have to spread the paper on the table by the window back in the snog, warm kitchen and read these lines over and over again to be rar that they are really true. It la a romance of true and h amble life that took ita beginning in fiction and grew Into fact One day last August Miss Damon went to Chicago on a visit At a Sixty-third street mo that he waa observed by both enemies and friends. Suddenly the policeman who had been standing by the side of Braine ram into th -living room. "He's alive' 1 Bralne Is alive! Ha Just stJrrsdr What?" exclaimed Norton aad Hargreave in a single breath. Tea, sir I I saw hia hands move. It's a good thing we sent for a doctor. Ha ought to bo along here about now." Even as he spoke the ben rang, and they aU surged out into th hall, forgetting for j the moment all about the. million...' Olga. hadn't killed the man, then? The doctor knelt beside the stricken man and 'examined 1 him. He shrugged. v Will he Uver "Certainly. A scalp wound that laid him out for a few moments. He'll be all right In a few days. He wss lucky. A quarter of an inch lower and he'd have passed in his checks." "Good!" murmured Servan. "So our' f friend will accompany me back to good Boa- aia O, we'll be kind to him during the Jour- ney. Have him taken to the hospital ward at the Tombs. Now f pr th little lady up- atalra." A moment later Bralne opened his eyes and -the policeman assisted him to hia feet Servan with a nod ordered the police to help the wounded man to th taxicab which had Just arrived. Brain, mow wholly conscious, flung back on look of hatred toward Hargreave; and that waa the teat either Florence or her father ever saw of Brain of the Black Hun- dred a fine specimen of a man gone wrong through greed and aa inordinate lust for re venge. The policeman returned to Hargreave. 44 It's pretty quiet upstairs," he suggested. Don't you think, sir, that I'd better try tnat bedroom door again?" v Well, if you mast," assented Hargreave reluctantly. But don't be rough with her If you can help it." For Braine be had no sympathy. When he recalled aU the misery that devil's emissary had caused him, the years of hiding and pur. suit, the loss of the happiness that had right- fully been his, bis heart became adamant For eighteen years to have ridden and driven and sailed op and down the world, always confident that sooner or later that demon, would find bim! He had lost the childhood of bis daughter, and now' be waa to lose her in her womanhood. And because of this im placable hatred the child'a mother had died in the Petrograd prison fortress. But what an enemy the man had been! He, Hargreave, had needed aU hia wita constantly; he had never dared go to sleep except with one eye open. Bnt ia employing ordinary crooks Braine bad at length overreached ahnsetf, and now he must pay the penalty. The way of the transgressor' Is bard, -and though thin ancient saying looks dingy with the wear and tear of centuries. It stUI holds good. But he felt sorry for the woman up above. She had loved not wisely but too welL Far natter foe her U ah pat an end to Ufa. MISS IDA The Ctrl with the ttihiid mm t irniT mTMi t A would not live a year In the God forsakes snows of Siberia. My kind father!" said Florence, as If shs could read his thoughts. Jr.rr K w I had a hard time of it my child. It was difficult to play the butler with you about The times that I fought down the desire to sweep you up in my arms! But I kept aa iron grip on that impulse. It would have imperiled you. In some manner it would have leaked out and your life and mine wouldn't have been- worth a button." Florence threw her arms around bim aad held him tightly. I "That poor-weak.' woman upstairsT she murmurear"'wCanVthey let her go?" "No, dear.. She has lost and losers pay f And So Florence and the stakes. That's life. Norton, you knew Who I was al the time, didn't you T I did, Mr.' Hargreave. There waa a scar on the lobe of your ear; and secretly I had often wondered at the likeness between you and the real Jones." When I caught a glimpse iof that ear' then I knew what tbe game was. And I'll add you played it amazingly wen. The one flaw, in Braise's campaign was his hurry. He started tbe ball rolling before get ting all the phases clearly established in his mind He waa a brave man anyhow; and more than once' he had me where I -believed that prayers only were necessary." AnddP you think that yon can lead Flor ence, to the million?" asked Hargreave, smil ing. for oae thing, It is in her room ana hae always been there. It never waa in the cheat" Not bad, not bad," mused the'fatber. "But perhaps after aU it will be best If you ahow it to her yourself "Just a little uncertain?" Jibed the 'mil lionaire. Absolutely certain. I win whisper Im your ear. where it ia hidden." Norton leaned forward aa Hargreave bent attentively- T. Yoa'veAlt'U." aald the saiO inns Ire.

"I'm mighty glad you were on my side," said Hargreave. "It I few minutes we'll go up and take a look at those packets of bills. There's a very unhappy young woman there at present" It is In my room?" cried. Florence. Hargreave nodded. Meantime the Countess Olga hovered be- tween two courses a brave attempt to escape by the window or to turn the revolver against aiai s Norton Were Married. her heart In either cans there was nothing left in life for her. Tbe man ah loved was dead below, killed by her hand. She felt aa though she waa treading air in some fantas tical nightmare.' She could not go forward or backward, and her heela were always 1 within reach of her pursuers. So this was the end of things? The dreams ahe had had of going away with Bralne to other climes, the happiness she had pictured, -an mere chimeras! A sudden rag swept over 'her. She would escape, ahe would con tiune to play tbe game to the end. She would show them that ahe had been the man'a mate, not hia pliant tool? She raised the window and in slipped th policeman who had pa tiently been waiting for her. Instantly ahe placed the revolver at her temple. A quick, clutch and the policeman had her-by the wrist She made on tigerish effort to free herself, shrugged, and signified that ah sur- rendered. I don't want to hnrt yon. miss," said the 1 policeman, but if you make any attempt to escape I'll have to put the handcuffs on you." I'll go quietly.

TUB TOPCIIA DAILY GTAT3 JOTOHAL OAOTCDA DVEnina rrZUACT 1C15. In the Religious World A Good Man's Bad Sons. The International Sunday School Les son for February 21 is "The Death of Bit and His Sons." I Sam. 4:1-18. (BT WILLIAM T. ELLI&) Parenthood, priesthood, piety and power are the fourfold themes of the living pictures from the old Book which is this week's Sunday school lesson. One does not have to search far to find here a rational program of progress and reform for our own land and time. The cynical proverb about "Preach ers' sons and deacons' daughters" is not true, as repeated statistical show ings have demonstrated. Children of the manse do not ordinarily go wrong; quite the contrary. Sufficient excep tions remain,- however, to give point to the saying. The preacher's son who trays is sure to be noted because he is a preacher's son. Some ministers are so engrossed in the larger concerns of spiritual truth and moral progress that they imper ceptibly drift into the state of mind of that statesman who said that he "had no time for individuals." Home to every minister and teacher and Christian worker comes the inti mation that no amount of public serv ice can atone for failure to be true to one's responsibilities in one's own home. The American Father's Failure. Eli, the priest of Israel at Shiloh, was a good man and efficient priest. He was devoted to the altar and to the glory of God. He was a kindly, oonsiderate character, as his dealings with Hannah and Samuel showed, but his love was lax in his own household, where a firm hand was needed. Old Eli was a prototype of the American father, engrossed in large concerns, who lets his sons have their own way. A prominent business man in New York said to me one day, "I really do not know my son. Tou see, he has been away at school and col lege, and on summer vacations most of his life, and when he is home for a short time, he has evening engage ments and friends at the house." That man was beginning to realize perhaps, in spite of the success that had made him a marked personality in the great metropolis, he had not done a man's full duty by this time. A moral menace today is this lax ity on the part of the American par ents. We are building our homes without woodsheds, and without that discipline for which the woodshed proverbially stands. The idea of law and discipline is lacking from myriads of American boys, whose parents send them off to private schools in the hope that hired teachers will make up for parental neglect. It is not uncom mon for wealthy fathers to give their boys huge automobiles as toys with which to break speed limits and frighten pedestrians. Then they won der why the new generation is grow ing heedless of the rights of man and of the laws of the land. We are sow ing the wind of self-indulgence and we must expect to reap the whirlwind of moral anarchy. OW Eli returns from the distant past to challenege every parent to his primary duty as a man and a father. Glass Houses. It is easier to find fault with Eli than to train our own sons. He did fail in the rearing of Hophnl and Phineas, his sons. They abused their position and their opportunity, and because he was so very lenient with t them, God sent him a warning by the lips of the child Samuel. Even then Eli was not equal to the drastic meas ures required, and the corrupt priests continued in their positions of influ ence. Ell bent beneath the sorrow of his life in pathetic dignity, perhaps exercising the grace of resignation when he should have employed the virtue of swift, strong action. When we are thinking about the failure of Eli with his sons, we must not forget that he also had much to do with the rearing of Samuel, Is rael's greatest prophet. It is true that Hannah helped more than a lit tle, but it was under the influence of Eli that Samuel became a states man of God. Lest -e be moved to condemn the old priest too much, we are reminded that Samuel's own sons proved unworthy. Since we live in glass houses, let us be easy on Ell the aged. He had real nobility of character. The blow that killed him was not a personal bereavement, but the news that the ark of the covenant had suffered cal amity. As we look about us, we can ndt escape the fact that godly par ents may have wastrel sons. Even the best of fathers and mothers can not wholly determine the moral and spiritual life of their children al though the home where holiness is made attractive is the best co-operating agent that the Lord Almighty has on earth. The Preachers and the Acid Test, Quietly and soberly, as they talk by firesides and over luncheon tables. thoughtful Christian men are saying today to one another that the prob lem of the church is the problem of the preacher. This is no unmanly ef fort to shift responsibility from their own shoulders. But the proverb "Like priest like people" was never more true than now. The world wants spiritual leadership. It is eager for tidings of truth and for a clear note of certitude from the man who speaks for God. The opportunities before the Christian ministry were never greater than in this year of "our Lord nineteen hundred and fifteen. While the vast majority of the preachers of the gospel are men of clean life and of godliness and of self sacrifice, there is nevertheless a lack of leadership, of vision and of power. The church is confessedly not meet ing the needs of our time. Reluc tantly, we are forced to say, as was the verdict of old Israel at the time of our lesson, that the weakness of for Sore Tliroaf and SoMinSIiest First rub the chest or throat with Omega Oil then soak a piece of flan net with the Oil and pot it around the neck or throat, and cover with a piece f dry flannel. This simple treatment usually gives relief. Trial bottle loc 0!MJ the church is the weakness of the priest. 1 The sons of Eli had corrupted the people. Their, self-indulgence had made a scandal of religion. They stopped at nothing In the way of shameless, open sin. They were not ministers, but were ministered unto. The old epigram is recalled, "Once the church had golden bishops with wood en crosiers and then the shepherds fed the sheep. Npw we have wooden bish ops with golden crosiers and the sheep feed the shepherds." Worship at Shi loh had been profoundly impaired by these sinful sons of Eli. Their evil had eaten like a gangrene into the life of the people. When the Church Cannot Win. The background of this lesson is the battle between the Philistines and Is raelites. When the armies were Joined in array Israel was smitten and four thousand Israelites fell. It was a dark day for the Chosen People. In panic, runners were sent quickly to Shiloh to bring to the battle the Ark of the Covenant, that emblem of victory at which the Jordan had parted, the symbol of the presence of Jehovah. The fame of the God of the He brews was in all the land, and the Philistines were scared when they heard of the approach of the Ark. They expected to be routed by this supernatural ally. Nevertheless, when the shouts of the expectant Israelites rolled over their camp as the Ark drew near, the 'Philistines were afraid and cried: "God is come into the camp. Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner oi plagues In the wilderness." Nevertheless, they were not craven, were these Philistines, and they ex horted one another, "Be strong, and quit yourselves like men. O ye Philis tines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you; quit yourselves like men and fia-ht." Tragically, the Ark proved impo tent. To the amazement of everybody the victory remained with the Philis tines. Thirty thousand of the Chil dren of Abraham fell before the vali ant swords of their foes. The Ark came upon the battlefield mid shout-, ings of joy and hope; it left in the hands of the foe, amid the waitings of the wounded and the prisoners. The symbol of the Presence had been in effective. The calamity of calamities had fallen upon Israel. Its religion could not make good in the supreme test. Of course the significance' of the story is plain to our day. The out ward forms of religion are not enough. Signs and symbols are insufficient. The church and power are not neces sarily synonymous, as we know to our sorrow. The most corrupt city po litically on the continent is the most famous for its. churches. Unless the symbol is supported by a pure priest hood and a consecrated church, the Presence which it is supposed to rep resent is invoked in vain. The church fails when It relies on its churchliness. Eccleslastlclsm Is mighty today. It has money and brains and social pres tige. But it has not power. The Christian church has twentieth cen tury ingenuity but it has not first century victories. From the battle field of Aphek let us learn the great lesson that the church is powerless, except she be true to God and His law. Piety and power are not synony mous, unless the former is pure. Re ligion means righteousness, or else it is hollow mockery. Real godliness is irresistible. The forms of godliness may be futile and vain. In our own time the Christian church is facing her greatest prob lems ana greatest tasks. She has foea within and without. Diversified ene mies confront her. Can she win her battle for God and human welfare? Yes, but only if she be true to Him and has the power of godliness as well as the form thereof. The Books We Re-read. Terse Comments on the Uniform Pray er Meeting Topic of the Young Peo ple's Societies Christian Endeavor, etc. for February 21. "Favorite Chapters of the Bible, and Why." Ps. 23:1-6. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) I have read Kipling's "Kim" at least a score of times; Drummond's Greatest Thing in the World" re- peatedly; Barrie's "Sentimental Tom my half a dozen times; and Maclar en's "For Conscience Sake" in hia Auld Lang Syne" equally often. No book is worth reading once that is not wortn reading otten. We naturally re turn to favorite passages. That is why every earnest Christian's- Bible is thumb-marked on certain pages, and opens almost of itself to loved por tions. Not all of the Bible la of equal value and interest. Nor do the same parts always make an appeal to all persons. Each of us has his treasured chapters. This Christian Endeavor topic provides something in the na ture of an experience meeting, where every one may tell of his "finda" to others. Certain chords on the piano will set the chandelier to vibrating. So parti' cular passages from literature and from the Bible especially awake on an swering response in the reader's own heart. Of all the treasured words in this Book which has been more assidu ously and intimately studied than any other, doubtless the most generally prized is the Twenty-third Psalm, the "Shepherd Psalm" of David. What it has meant to uncounted millions of God's people throughout thousands of years passes the imagination to grasp, Hunted martyrs have pillowed their weary heads upon it and slept in peace. In the dark of dank dungeons it has been a song and a stay. Aspir ing youth and spent age have alike round sustenance in its beautiful pas sages. This immortal song meets hu manity's common need for a refuge. a protector, a guide: we are all sheep, and these words turn us to the Shep herd of our souls. Literature which takes cognizance of man's heart hunger and homesick ness, which promises him deliverance from the world's weight of woe, is the literature which writes itself into the lives of men and women. Thus the New Testament counterpart of the Shepherd Psalm, and sharing with it the favor of Christians, is the four teenth chapterof John's Gospel "Let not your heart be troubled." The comforting, compassionate Christ, in tne midst of His own sorrows remem berlng the loneliness of Hia friends. Pictured to them the Father s house, with its many homes that never break up. Permanence that is what our souls seek, and what Jesus promised In the words spoken In this narative of His last night of human fellowship with His chosen comrades. Life lights up literature. Favorite passages are those which have been made luminous by some personal cx perience. Whan the lamp of faith burns low, and the soul's vision is dim, then we turn to the portrait gallery of the heroes of faith in the eleventh chan ter of Hebrews, where a cloud of wit nesses to the power of faith are aligned in living array. Our hearts take new fire and our eyes are opened; for "faith cometh by the word of God." Strikingly, the most moving brief portrayal of the Man of Sorrows is not found in one of the New Testa ment biographies, but in the Book of Isaiah. The fifty-third chapter, with its heart-stirring picture of the suf fering Savior, ranks at least third among Bible passages in the popular favor of Christians. Has all literature any more affecting lines than these: "He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and ac quainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their face; he was despised; and we esteemed him not. "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." The person who has sinned and who is burning with remorse and con trition, has no words of his own with which to utter his soul's cry -like those written by David in the fifty first Psalm, after he had fallen bo grieviously. Millions of penitents have cried aloud to God in these immortal words of the Psalmist. The literature of our day gives lit tle counsel for the man in trouble, and the man beset with enemies, ex cept to "laugh it off," or "grin and bear it." Far deeper Is the comfort with which the Bible abounds, in such passages as the twenty-second Psalm. The cry of the soul for succor, and its paen of praise to .Jehovah for deliv erance, are perhaps better set forth here than anywhere else. Great chapters of the Bible, even if not so intimate and personal and individual as others, are those which write down the laws of life, the plat forms of God's kingdom the twen tieth chapter of Exodus, and the fifth of Matthew. The human touch, "with flashing phrases of loyalty and love, is found in the brief letter to Philemon which Paul wrote, a letter all too little known. Tbe most Roarin? mtndu nf all Mmn tiavA devoted their pens to an analysis and apotheosis of love, bat it remained for jonn the Beloved, in tbe latter part of tbe fourth chapter of his first letter, to reach the summit.

Concerning the political and relig ious conditions for Jeremiah, Sell says: King Josiah came to the throne in 639 B. C. The nation was In a bad state. Through the preaching of the prophets the king undertook great re forms. The temple was cleansed, the Book of the Law found and outwardly all seemed well. After a reign of 31 years Josiah was slain by the king of Egypt. Then began the descent which had only been checked by Josiah. The later kings despised the preaching of Jeremiah and Jehoiachln threw his prophecies into the fire. In (97 Neb uchadnezzar, king of Babylon. took Jerusalem and carried many Into cap tivity. Zedekiah was left as king, but L in 686 Nebuchadnezzar came back and tore down the walls of the city, and razed the temple to the ground. Idolatry had been- openly practiced under Zedekiah; flagrant sins were committed in church and state; Je hovah's religion waa neglected and despised. Jeremiah sought in vain to stay- this tide of evil by warnings, entreaties, and judgments. The city was doomed, yet in this time of gloom the prophet utters some of hia most glorious Messianic prophecies and Dredicts that after seventy years tne captivity will end and the people will be restored to tnetr jana ana city.
