THE CHURCH DEBT.

I don't p lead tec be much of a cburct member myself, but when I meetln' 1 like my doctrine thout th« up-to-date curlicues, it's a preacher' ‘‘business ter lam sin. an' lam It gooc an' hard " "There's suihln' In that.” agreetl Washington Hancock "Sin ain't ft* no friend* nor nobody ter speak a foot! word fee It lt ; s when a preacher techet up sinners with the gad that the gooc people git up an' tiptoe out In the middle o' the sermon Still, the Little Tar klo man didn't pick out anybody It pertlcklar when he give 'em his firs' sermon 1 know, beaaoae 1 heereC

"■ Mow'd that come’” asked the *orw-

keeper

' Well, my woman had a new bunnli an' she said It was scan'lous the wi I'd be'n neglectin' religious dootlt an' she proposed to go over ter Little Tarkio anyway, ter see her cousin. 8 we hitched up a Sat'd'y evenin' at drove over. "'F'ust place, he ain’t no splck-aa’ span, little, long-haired whiffet, with i dlckshtroary full o' long words, an' ht ain't no rambly-booed B'ble-Otumpln blowhaid. neither He's Jeat a nlcelookln'. husky feller, with ne "pertlekler dog about him. 'bout my slse an build an’ gln'ral appearance—what yoc might call preperseealn’. He stood uf there by the pulpit Jeet as eMy as pie an' he talked. He didn't preachtalked. seme as I might be talkin' you. He gave out as his lex' Acks 4fth fust, second, third and fourth vei how Ananias an' Sapphlra sold thelt pro potty an' made a Wuft at glvin' II to the church 'My brethren.’ he saya '1 have taken this tex' for the reason that some of the brothers an' sister* hed suggested ter me that we might have a rummage sale or two an som* b'raars an' sosherblea ter raise the debt on this yer church an’ fill Us derpleted

coffers

'I want to ask you why there Is debt »n' why the treshry Is empty 1 have questioned the elders an' have used the eyes an' the horse sense with which the Lord has blessed me an' 1 find that this flock kas been prospered exceedingly during the -past year There are few In this congregation, I believe, who have not be'n prospered Why have we got a debt, then? Why la the church treshry empty?” ” •Brethren, when Ananias came tc Peter he tried to male the apostle b lleve that be was givin' nil he had while tie held back a part. That wat where he sinned. Peter would nevei have Mamed him If he had said. 'Here'* a part for the rburrh I’m not goln to give the whole thing, because i m no~\socialist' Says PetCr. "While It remained was It not thin# own? And . after It was sold was it not In thlnt own powerr You see. brethren, thft waa the point ” 'Why are you preteodln' to feel an interest in clearin' off the debt an' puttin' money in the treshry? 1 say -pretendin' “ because that's the way looks ter me If any Ananias here had a note to meet he wouldn't be organizin' a rummage sale an' encouragin' Sapphlra ter work pin cushion* an’ crazy quilts fer b'raars. he'd dig . up the money An^oiay K. What kind of a ChrisryutPl’perrit do you reckon a young man has when he's forced tet pay Sh cents fer a dip Inter a sawdust bag that brings him out a three-cent ehlny doll? It ain't the pUlers of a church ’at famishes the rer'noo resultin' from these gamblin' devices an' gold-brick games They Jest furnish the trash an' take the credit fer the *12.4* clear at expeases resultin' If* the youth who hasn't any too much spend In’ money, but hasn’t got the nerve ter refuse ter be robbed when the robber wears a' white pink ribbons. \ " The moral of all this, my brethren. Is that If you've got any Junk you warn to get rid,of sell It at private sals. Yoe can donate, the bkmmw to tbs treshry , If you want to If yob want to clear the mortgage off the church I’ll see that you get an opportunity to do It In clean cold cash an' If you war steady rsVnoo In the treshry Ter rent expenses 111 anang*. a plan oo a ' business basis-—an' that means a f square, straight, honest basis.

"That's about all 1 remember of th* sermon.” concluded Hancock. 'it tickled ms. though when I thought bow bard that would have hit Rule If

he'd been there to bear it"

”1 docT remember about Ananias bolding out property.” remarked the storekeeper. "I thought be was lbs

"He was.” said Hancock.

"He might , have beeo In his day.” •aid the storekeeper, "but you lay over him a light smart. Wash.”—Chicago

Porfirlo Dias.

. City of Mcstco Special. "President In reserve " isihe designation employed by Gen. Porfirlo Dias In relerrlng lo bis eecretary of the Interior choeen by the nationalists aa their candidate for the vice pMsIdency. “I eosjgratulate you,” said the president. addressing a delegation from the convention, “on having nominated as a candidate for the vice presidency citizen who. In addition to his upright character, enlightenment and public •plrll, demonstrated by admirable eervice in various Important poau. possess** the moral and physical energies which are proper to bis relatively youthful age. and for which not even a career ol patriotic abnegation and honorable service can afford a substitute.” Little did Ramon Corral think when he drew up and presented to the chamber at deputies the bill dealing the rice presidency sod extending the presidential term from four to six years, that be would be the man selected to DU the vice presidential post and later become in all probability the successor of G«n. Dtas. the great soldier who has earned the title of 'peso* president." % Tbs question of the retirement ol Gen. Dias waa settled a year ago. when both tbs. .nafionailsU and liberals nominated the president to suc-

ceed himself

The amendments to the constitution as finally adopted provide that In the event of the death, disability or abaence from the republic at the president, the vice president shall tmnJedlately assume the duties of the presidency" without the necessity of taking a new oath. Neither can he resign except for very grave reasons, which must be passed upon by the congress, and neither can he leave the republic without ^be pennl*alon of congress The law authorising the amendment* makes the vice president ex-officio president of the senate, but leaves the Incumbent free to accept other office*

THE RAILWAY CONDUCTORS They Are Banded Together In a Brotherhood for Trade and Beneficiary Purpose*. Cedar Rapids <Ia.) Special. The Order of Railway Conductors, one of thf most powerful railroad brotherhoods, had ite Inception at a meeting of • few conductors on the Illinois Central railroad at Amboy. HL. in the spring of IMX An azaactetlon known as the Conductors' union waa formed at that meeting. Another dtvtefcm. was formed shortly after at Galesburg of the conductors of the _ -- - iaRj

the organization or the service, and the divisions on that rood went out of existence. A call waa Issued November. 166S. to all railroad conductors t» the United States and Canada to send delegates lo a convention to be held In Columbus. O.. December 15. It was at that convention that the benefit department was instituted and tbe constitution finally adopted. At the time the association was started it was w "nonstriklnr'" society, a clause In the constitution forbidding the members to engage in any strike, either on tbelr , own account or to assist fellow employ ea This clause remained a part of the constitution until the preaent grand chief. E. E Clark, made a fight to have It stricken out In 1889. Clark appealed to tbe conductors throughout the country on the ground that a protective policy under which the members were free to engage In strikes if circumstances warranted would be more satisfactory to the conduetora He was elected grand chief on the Issue. and although the organization has sot found It necessary to engage In strikes. R has made wonderful progress under the amended rule. At that time there were but 248 divisions, with a membership of lass than 14.000. At the preaent time there are 454 affiliated divisions, with a membership of 33.000. Tbe benefit department has paid in death and disability claims 8X600.000 up to May 31 of this yeeu. Last April the amount of claims paid was 8115.000. The association has trade agreements with practically all

tbe railroads In the country.
