SOME OF OUR FOLKS GET BILKED ^ After a hearing before United States Commissioner Maltrberger M. J. Barnow of New York City, arrested by C. R. ' Nixon, special officer of the United 1 Sjateg Department of Justice, on the ® charge of impersonating a government official in tfie selling of books, was held 1 in 82.l«l bail for trial in the Philadelphia district court. * The above dispatch from Reading, published in a Philadelphia pnpor, probably refers to "The messages and pujiera of the Presidents," or something of t!i» kind for which an agent was soliciting orders here in August. He rep- , resented that six men had been se- ^ by Congressman Baker, aa all in this city who would be favor, d by an ^ opportunity to purchase. It was forth rf ^ represented that these books were in a , warehouse duly wrapped and | j labelled, awaiting the payment of the expenses of shipment by th " honored | J ones, before they would be shipped. , ^ Each man who consented to be a victim, was required to sign a paper and there ] by hangp the tale, and therein was play- , ' ed the Joker, taking all the tricks — at least it was so intended. The stakes | excepting the aforesaid charge fjr ev- , ' penses. are still in the hands of the f members of the card party, awaiting -the arbitration of "an umpire." "The cards . were marked and the dice loaded," is the , plaint of the victims, and the agent is , wanted. A fine ride on a rail, a sharp j awaits him and a big husky mule 1 will h" nmvided at the cnil of the riHo | provided

J Well wager a big apple tliat Con-' gressman Baker never heard of the i( business and will chip in to pay for the j rail and mule. We may tell the whole ^ story later, if we can find it in any of our scrap books. One of the victims was hauled before tlie court last Satur- ' day. but the verdict. Vfrv justly, was i "No cause of notion." It is said tlist » one postmaster thought it might effect ) his tenure of office if he did not buy • and went out and borrowed the money • to make the first payment.

' THE COURSE -J? TEE WORLD. ) ' - I In the current issue of Farm and Fireside Herbert Quick, editor of that [ publication, begins a new serial novel 1 entitled "The Brown Mouse." It is & 1 romance of a farm hand who upset a 1 school district. In the first installment 1 of his novel, Mr. Quick introduces Jim 1 Irwin a»\ the principal character — the hired man on a farm who found a way to serve his country wonderfully. On the subject of the importance of ideas such bs Jim Irwin discovered, Mr . Quick comments as follows: "Great events, I find myself repeating, sometimes hinge on trivial things. Considered deeply, all those things Which we are wont to call great events are only the outward and visible results of occurences in the minds and souls of pxiple. "Sir Walter Raleigh thought of laying his cloak under the feet of Queen Elisabeth as she passed over a mud puddle and all the rest of his career , followed as the effect of Sir Walter's , mental attitude. Elias Howe thought ■ of a machine for sewing, Eli Whitney of a machine for ginning cotton, George Stephenson of a tubular boiler for his 1 locomotive engine, and Cyrus McCor- : ■ mdek of a sickle liar, and the world 1 | was changed by these thoughts, rather , than by the machines themselves. John D. Rockefeller thought strongly that h« -would be rich, and this c!iaaged the ( (oommeree and finance of the world." , a t

All the young people of the . church are invited to attend this sers vieeOur Christmas entertainment was I 11 eld Wednesday evening of last week, a few days earlier than originally planned. and considering the_ time spent in . it* preparation was a great success. The ^ . Primary Department exhibited in an " s elaborate and fascinating manner the , coming of Santa Claus and the Birth , of Jesus. The little people did very I well indeed. The work of the inter - I cmdiate scholars waa also very happily „ done, in fact much of it was far beyond I ordinary excellence. And the surprise . of all eann- when the pastor announced , that the children would get a box of i , candy after all. They had especially r deserved this recognition as they had freely and voluntarily voted to donate , their Christmas candy money for the i relief of European sufferers. The Sun- , dav School Board thought that such a ( noble spirit should be publicly recog- ( , nized and in a small way rewarded. On , ( the whole it was a delightful Christmas , entertainment, all the narts heine well. . .

THE NATIONAL DEFENSE I The bottom having fallen out of the I argument that disarmament is a guaranty against attack, it is now in order for tli^ altruists of the Bryan school to retire into the shade. The problem of national defense is now paramount in ' this country. Unless the United States desires to assume the attitude of China and' is willing to endure the humiliating .consequences of such a policy, there should be immediate preparation for adequate defense. Nothing could be more

- useless than to spernlate as to the ! sources of po4feble attack. The smaller 1 the nation that should make the attack, F the greater would be the humiliation if ' we were unprepared to meet it. Nothing • rtrer said is more1 trite than the remark I that "eternal vigilance is the price of safety." and yet its truth is self-evi-dent. — W. J. Press.
