"Don't let's waste our perfectly

do we won't have any. time left to

"Say," began. Miss Frizkle eagerly,
""didn't you pretty near die over the
way Mame's hair was fixed? Honest
!to goodness, when I get married I'll

I' 1 thought her hair looked pretty
good for Mame," said Miss Larson,
sleepily. "It always looks like she'd

"Her, dress was a' peach, though,
Wasn't it?" said Miss Frizkle. "At
least it would have been if it had any

that bead trimming must have cost a
pile."
"Hand'.embroidery!" ejaculated Miss
^Connelly. "That's all you know about

good, and It wasn't no more hand em

S "Well, she must 'a* goth a corner on

Frizkle. "What do you think I said to

"My!/ The lady got as red as any

sniffing up her nose at me, mad as she
could be. 'It's modeled after a gown
that was imported straight from* Paris
and you couldn't find its duplicate in
Chicago. I'm a high-priced modiste,'
she says, 'besides being Miss Peter

"Land! .1' Just' faded away like I'd.

long enough to remark "I kind of
thought she'd have, a lot more'n what

"Some of 'em was expensive, though,
I guess," said Miss Frizkle. "Now, 1

Best Religion. -''.'V
Kansas City, Ma—A new religion,
centering In the stomach instead of
the soul, and having salvation of this
life and not some future existence as
Its aim, is being launched in'Kansas
City by Mrs. Katheryn Boggs of To-
"All religions of the past," says Mrs.
Boggs, "have been bound with tra
ditions and unnecessary formality
and have made demands on human
credulity which were unreasonable.
Comfort, health, truth and peace,
where they have been present In the
h, did you step on me?"'she droned, religions of the past, were accidental, $10,000 to any man who will cross the
In my religion they are the objects.'
Last Easter Mrs. Boggs opened Trin
ity Home in Topeka for the followers
of what she terms "Practical Chris
tianity." Whosoever wished to come
was welcome. To this home she ex
pects to return at some time in the
future, and admit all who desiro to'
Ave the new religion.
Some of the practices of this re
ligion are: Daily baths—of sun, wate*
or clay—she says there Is nothing so
good for the body as pure air, sun
shine, water and soil. The religion Is
essentially one of the stomach. And
the rule and guide to conduct is, "Be
natural."
Mrs. Boggs says all life centers
around the digestive apparatus. The
first thing a little child uses is Its
stomach. She says its future depends
more on this organ than on anything
else. By treating it right the child
may develop into a good man, and by
treating it wrong It may develop Into
a criminal.
NO AID GIVEN HERO'S WIFE
Government's Employer1* Liability
Law Does Not Apply to Mine
Rescuers.
Washington, D. C.—Although the
government has an employer's liabil
ity law which applies to certain parts
of the government service, the widow
and children-of John Ferrell, who lost
his life while exploring the burning
mine at Cherry Valley, Pa., will get
nothing. Ferrell was a mine rescue
worker In1 the newly established fed
eral bureau of mines.
The widow of a laborer accidentally
killed on the Panama canal gets a
year's pay. The same benefits apply
to employes, of the reclamation serv
ice.
Ferrell had personally saved at least
ten lives. At Briceville, Tenn., in
the Cross Mountain mine disaster
he found and saved five minora. He
was a miner and mine foreman for 31
years.
Ferrell's pay was $1,000 a year. His
widow and children are left without
means of support unless congress
passes a special' act.

Cloudburst
(Copyright, tgts. by AuocUtad Literary Pre**)
"I don't care about the bridge, so
much," explained Dustan Carmlchael,
Impatiently. "That is annoying and
expensive and all that, but unless I
can rush these papers to New York in
time for'the meeting it will cost me
pretty close to $2,000,000. I'll give
stream."
"I wouldn't do it for the whole $2,
000,000," said Cassidy, the foreman de
cidedly. "Mebbe some of the boys
wants to try. I'll ask 'em."'
Dick Breslin looked at the raging
flood. During the night there had been
a cloudburst up In the mountains. The
ordinarily shallow stream, was swollen
to. a width of 300 feet and the tempo
rary railroad bridge had been swept
away.
breslin shared his employer's nerv
ousness and accompanied him in his
restless pacing until, from the private
car, there stepped a hooded figure.
"Is it still bad?" aefted the girl aa he
approached.
"Worse, Claire, don't think the
water will fall before tomorrow."
"And no one will try for the re
ward?"
"No one seems anxious to try for a
suicide's grave," he laughed. "That's
about why. it would mean."
"Will yli go halves with me?" she
demandedAiuddenly.
"Die together?"
Claire shook her head.
"Father said we could get married
when you had earned $5,000. It will
take you two years with this construc
tion gang to earn that much. We cah
hurry it along."
"I'm with you," he cried. "What la
the idea?"
"Let's arrange with dad first." They
went toward the bank. Mr. Carmlchael
paused to greet his daughter.
"You had better go back to the car,"
he said. "This weather is not made
for young women."
"It won't hurt me," she said. "I've
a proposition to make, dad."
"And that is?"
"You told Dick that we could be
married when he had earned
$5,000.
Then you put him with this construc
tion gang and it will take two years
for him to earn it at. the salary you
pay him."
"And you've Just discovered that if I
pay him more the time will be short
er? This is a bad time for discov
eries." Claire shook her head.
"Will you give us that reward if we
get the papers across for you? Dick
and I are partners. We'll each take
half."
"You ought to help me out anyhow,"
he declared.
"I won't," she said, "and Dick
doesn't know how." Her dimpled chin
squared Itself determinedly. Mr. Car
mlchael knew what that meant. She
inherited his stubbornness, and he sup
rendered unconditionally.

SHOW AT DEVILS LAKE.
Many Fine Pedigreed Horses Are
Shown.
Devils Lake.-r-Apparently unmindful
of snow and rain, hundreds of (arm-
era of the lake region gathered at
Devils Lake, to see the first big horse
fair'and show ever attempted in this
section of the state.
So many high-bred animals were
brought to the show that it was found
necessary to increase the classes to
Include all the entries. While there
were not enough silver trophy cups
for all classes, arrangements were
made to make the prizes satisfactory.
The show was conducted without a
bitch and the program delighted the
visitors, who went home more thor
oughly convinced than ever that the
best horses in the country can be
raised in the lake region.

Fargo Agricultural college acted as

Senator A. J. Gronna of North Da

It is declared that Gronna is the most
