PLAGES RELIGION
BEFORE THE LAW
Sock Island Man Will Not Ap.
pear Against Thief Must
Be in Church Is Plea.
' Rather than disobey the precept of
the Jewish religion, Ed Goldburg of
this city will make no effort to appear
against a man who Is now in Jail
charged with stealing from him ap
proximately 60 bushels of potatoes.
The trial has been set for tomorrow
morning, but Goldburg refuses to be
present, owing to the fact that tomor
row Is the Day of Atonement. The
Jews throughout the world will fast for
24 hours, and in addition will not drink
even so much as a drop of water.
"I muht be in church tomorrow
morning. Judge." said Goldturg, "and
I cannot be here." As a result, it is
possible that the case may be dis
missed. About 10 days ago, thieves drove up
to a car in the Burlington yards and
stole 19 sacks of potatoes, each sack
containing two and a half bushels.
Thee were loaded into a wagon.
George Gordon, an old offender, was
arrested for the crime, and his case
was continued until this morning.
When the case was called, it was
learned that it would be impossible to
go to trial as several witnesses were
absent Magistrate Smith then granted
a continuance until tomorrow.
Goldburg protested, but the Judge
contended that the prisoner had been
in Jail 10 days without trial and was
entitled to some rights.

AMERICAN VILLAGES.
Here Is a Writer Wh. Claims Thy
Are Positively Hideous.
No dlstlnctivey American style baa
arisen, and the average American borne
remain as ugly and as undistinguish
ed as a Zulu kraal. In its essence it
is simply a square box. And from that
archetype It proceeds upward, not
through degrees of beauty, but through
dfgrees of hideousness. The more It
Is plastered with ornament the more
vulgar and forbidding it becomes. The
more it is adorned with color the more
tbnt color becomes a madness, a de
bnuch. a public indecency.
Take a train ride through any Amer
ican state and you will be sickened by
the chaotic ugliness of the flitting
villages bouses sprawling and shape
less, a huge advertising sign upon
every flat wall, an intolerable effect of
carelessness, ignorance, squalor, . bad
taste and downright viciousness.
Hut make the same sort of journey
through France or Germany say from
Bremen to Munich or from Paris to
Lyons or through Austria or Italy or
Swltterland. and you will be charmed
by the beautiful harmony visible on
all sides, the subordination of details
to general effects, the instinctive. rt-
CURED TERRIBLE

Philadelphia. Dee. . 1912. - In Decern,
ker 1908. my face became eore. I tried
everything that was recomaeaded, ar.d my
face got worse instead of better. I spent
over $100 and got no benefit. The face and
aaee were very red and the eruptioe, had
the appearance of small boils, which itched
me terribly. I cannot tell you how terrible
my face looked all I can say ia, it was
dreedfal. and I suffered beyond description,
" I ha sot gone oa the street any time
since 1908 without a veil, until now. Just
four months ago a friend persuaded me to
giv Eeeinol s trial. I have need three
cakes of Reeinol Soap and less than a jar of
Kesinol Ointment, and my face is perfectly
free front any eruption, and my akin is as
clear and dean as any child's.' (Signed)

lng for color, the sound-grouping, the
constant presence of a tradition and a
style. The design ' fif tha peasant
bouses changes twenty times between
the Westpbalian plain and the foot
hills of the Alps, but In every change
there la a subtle reflection of the
physical environment, an unmistakable
expression of human aspiration, world

I don't know any ugly village be
tween Bremen and Munich, nor even
a village without its distinction, its
special txrauty, its Individual charm.
But I don't know of a village between
Washington and Chicago that Is not
frankly appalling. Smart Set.
FATHER GREAT PIPE.
Eccentric Will of the Famous Dutch
Smoker, Von Klaea.
In "Holland of the Dutch" Demet
rius Boulger tells the story of the fa
mous Van Klaes of Rotterdam, who
was known as "Father Great Pipe."
Van Klaes smoked about half a
pound of tobacco a day and to save
himself trouble used an enormous pipe,
bene his nickname. ITe built a man
sion In Rotterdam, with a fortune
amassed !c the Indies, and turned it
into a museum for pipes and antique
instruments used by priieltlve man for
burning hemp or weeds long before the
discovery of tobacco. No man who
visited his curios went away without
a gift of choice cigars. He lived to be
ninety-eight and made, while smok
ing, an eccentric will, which began by
inviting all smokers In the country to
bis funeral.
Each person who attended was to
receive ten poupds of tobacco and two
pipes bearing the' name of the donor,
his arms and the date of bis death,
but be Imposed the condition that they
should smoke without Interruption dur
ing the funeral, ceremony. Finally his
coffin was to be lined with the wood
of his old cigar boxes, and beside
him were to be placed his favorite
pipe, a supply of tobacco and a box
of matches, for. as the will senten
tlously sets forth, no one knows what
mar happen.
Effect of Dream.
"The happiest dream I can recall,"
said a successful business man. "was
one I bad ten yean ago. In it I was
with my good mother again, seated in
the old borne church. She placed ber
band on my bead and whispered. "Son.
I am proud of you." Thst little state
ment has kopt me ont of wrongdoing
more than all the sermons I have ever
heard and. I think, has made me a bet
ter man." Philadelphia Record.

Movies for Safety Purposes
UNIQUE PLAN OF THE ROCK ISLAND.
O wad some power the glf ie gie us.
To see ourselves as others-see .us.
It wad frae monie a blunder free us.
And foolish notion. " .
Bums.
Thomas A. Edison appears In the
role of the Giftie and the Rock Island
rai'road. through its "Safety Firs"
movement, is making practical appli
cation 'of the mirror. It was Eiison
who first caKed attention to the edu-!
cation al value of the "movies." It re
mained for a big railroad corporation
to follow Ws sugges'Jon and test their
value in a life saving campaign.
L. F.. Shedd of Chicago,- general
safety supervisor for the company, is
giving moving picture shows to edu
cate trainmen by showing them their
own shortcomings. The men who
posed for the- pictures did dangerous
stunts from the every "day experience
of traiMsen. Seated before t!ie
movies, other trainmen loudly crltisis
ed the moving pic ure a-'ors, indicat
ing that. In thecrv at least, there waa
no question about the right way to do
a thing, although doing it the wrong
way has been more or lesg common.
An hour's lecture every day would
net, in a year, accomplish as much
for the protection of life and limb as
the pictures do with one showing. In
Bobby Bums' day there- were no
"movies' to mirror our "blunders" and
"foolish notions," but Edison has made
that possible and the force of this has
never been so clearly emphasized as
in the remarks of trainmen after view
ing the pictures.
"If that's the way it looks to others
we'll s'ick to the right way here
after is the general comment.
Tae "Safe-y First" campaign Is
based on the assntrptjon that the safe
way pays in the long run, even if It
takes more time. , ' ;
The public attends these moving
pk-turj exhibitions because the nntv
He's benefit Is the first consideration.
In order to protect the traveler, every
trainman must . be educated in tha
value of safety to himself and wheu
he properly takes care of his own wel
fare he will, consaiouily or uncon
sciously, take better care of the pas
senger.. ' - - v
Lob Angeles Edwin Ertlupe, :
ranch employe, -was found uncon
scious' beside the carcass of a large
