Luke -.34. "Well," said the . cynic, "how do you make him out. to be a-fqol? I always thought that a man who could farm like that and in fact anyone who could make money after that fashion was pretty clever. As far as 7 have observed the world is not tagging the name of fool to those or the rich men of today.", "So they don't;" replied Big Ben, "but Christ puts a different estimate 'uppn'men than does .the's world. He! looks deeper "and sees' further.' And' If you w,ill only stop, a minute, and think, you will see that "He'vas" Tight as He al.ways Is. "Why;" sriid' little -Bill; '.'Just- yes terday you were- saying what a fool, Mr, Jones was to-put-so -much money into a. building on a lot with a short time lease; When they Vouldn't re new the lease, he lost It all, iJust so says .CHrist-when he sees a per son putting nil hiis treasure of "brain and brawn and soul Into something that will soon be taken away' from him, when on the other hand he might Make Eating a Joy a I When the appetite is keen and the digestion B d normal you can enjoy your meals without fear H I of distress, but how different when 'the H B stomach is weak and your food causes Heart- H B burn, Bloating, Nausea, Headache, Indigestion H B and Costiveness.

Thus Christ said, 'Thou fool, this night shall thy soul bo required of thee, then whose-shall be those things which thou hast provided?' So !js he who layeth up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God." God Is the eternal reality and in Godliness is eternity found. Isn't any man a fool w.ho. 'invests either money, or time without Investigating as to what tht outcome will be. The wise man has his eye on the' future and' Is anxious to be rich in soul for such riches arc eternal. "Yes," chuckled Big Ben, "that re minds me of the Rube who was a supper at my uncle's house. They were serving the dinner by courses and soup came first. But he being used to having everything that be longed to meal on the table, thought the rcBt very foolish to stop with ono dish. So he passed his plato for another diBh and another and another till he was full of soup. And then they.Bcrved the real things, and he had no room for them. Isn't that just the fools fix for the man who has glutted his life with nothing but money, till he has no Capacity for anything else?" 'Well, Ben," replied the cynic with a smIIe,"'you rather have me on that soup theory, for I was in the same fix myself once; and I never felt more like .a-fool in my life." "So you think that there Is some thing' to a dinner, besides soup? Just so, and there Is something more to. life than mere coin. That was what Christ .meant when He said, "Take heed, and beware oticoyetousness, for a man's life conBlsteth not In the abundance of things which he pos sesseth. That was another reason Tor Christ's denunciation of this man as a X00J. Thia poor follow said un to his soul, "Behold I have much goods laid up for many years; take thine eaBe, eat, drink, and be mer ry." What a fool to think that his soul could satisfy Itself with wheal or mutton. It takes soul stuff .to satisfy soul; love, truth, achievement, enthusiasm for a noble cause, and peace with God. And a man is a fool to talk to his soul that way. Now Isn't he?" "Well, I see your point, but after all, aren't you all out for the money just the same? You wouldn't object to trading places with the rich, would you?" "Not if I had to be as small and narrow in my sympathies and hard, and mean and selfish and barren of soul as some are." "That reminds me," said the cynic, "of a joke I heard today. Why are the rich so often so small? O, be cause Christ said that their only chance of getting Into llfo eternal was in going through the eye of a needle and they are practicing." Little Bill who had a tender funny-bone, laughed heartily. Then he looked up with a smile on his lips, but an eager light In his eye, and put the question straight: "And now really, old boy, would you he willing to pay that price for being rich? There is that miser down near the shops; lots of gold, but with a heart like a junk heap, and a life as barren as a vacant lot. What is he getting out of life, or putting into it? Haven't you often called him an old fool yourself? After all, you know old man, there is something in life greater even than getting the money. The dollar Is not almighty. There are some things It cannot do, and sat isfying and feeding the soul is one. And yet, of course, if we do not Im poverish our souls In getting It, we can make It a means of enriching our culture. But .to. b rich In soul to ward God that is the great thing." OFFICERS OF THE 0. S. L.

Foley, a prisoner at tho city jail, assaulted E. W. Dempsey, an other prisoner, . last night with a cane. As a result, Dempsey was placed under the care of the city phy sician with some painful wounds on his head and arm. The assault oc curred In the corridor of the cell room. Foley, who is 62 years of age, but powerfully built and full of vig or, was lying on the bed In his cell when ono of the other prisoners threw a magazine through the door, disturbing his rest. He sprang from the bed, infuriated, and Dempsey, who happened to pass by the door at the moment, received tho benefit of his wrath. Dempsey threw up his arm and saved himself from being dangerously wounded, while other prisoners came to his assistance and overpowered the old man. Foley was arrested for begging and Is about twice as largo as Dempsey, who Is a morphine fiend, serving tlmo for vagrancy. The noise of the as sault aroused the officers, but the two men were separated before they could get through the heavy doors between the cells and the office. Fo ley's cane, which ho had been al lowed to keep owing to his rheuma tism, was taken from him and he was placed in a private cell. oo 1 THEATERS AT THE ORPHEUM A pleasing vaudeville bill, with a big grizzly bear as the head line fea ture, was presented at the Orpheum yesterday by the Empress players. The bear, though ho gives an Inter esting performance, is not entitled to headline honors, at least so far as the merit of his act, for those un questionably belong to Maurice Free man, who presents a character sketch entitled "Tony and tho Stork." Freeman Is one of the best charac ters actors that has been seen In Ogden in a long time and his emo tional work In the role of Tony, an Italian vendor of statuttes. held the tense attention of the audience dur ing the entire time taken by his act. Williams and Warner, two clover entertainers, open the bill with a musical act. They both play saxo phones and are heard in solo and duet work, playing a number of dif ferent instruments. Their biggest hit was made, however, in a number of violin solos by Williams, with organ accompaniment by his partner. These were encored a number of times The two also have several instruments that they originated and these nlso created Interest as woll as entertain ment. John C. Drew is here ngaln undorj the name of "Mr. Flynn from Lynn" and his act was woll received. ' Frostlck, Hume and Thomas have fine voices and present some excel lent trios, duets and solos, though, if they would get something In place of "Chesapeake Bay," their act would last longer. And then there's "The Bear" and he Is "some" animal. He is as tame almost as the proverbial kitten, dances the tango, turkey trot, and the original "Grizzly Bear." And then, too, he does some roller skating that shows the result of long training. To close his performance the Mexican trainer, offers a 20-dollar prize to the man who can down the Grizzly in a wrestling match. The offer yesterday proved to be safely mado, for though several men look It up, Bruin could not be thrown. In fact, he did not want to let loose of his opponents after he had downed them and this feature of the match added greatly to the amusement of the audinece. SEVENTH WARD TOO SIFT FOR FOURTH i The banner of the Fourth ward basketball team was lowered last night before the Seventh ward play ers In tho city Y. M. M. L A. league. This Is the first defeat that the Fourth ward has suffered In four years and places their vlctorions op ponents in the lead for the league pennant. The score was 31 to 27 and the sensational basket throwing of Barker, the Seventhw rda left for ward, gave the Seventh ward the "long" end of it. Barker scored 10 field baskets. The game was played on the Sev enth ward floor and the tenms lined up as follows: Seventh Ward. Fourth Ward.
