There are none of Uie terrors of con

Sure of a Fine Funeral
A Baltimore business man ssked an
Irishman In his employ whether be
was saving any of his money.
"Sure, I am," answered the Celt.
"I've got JSuO bid away In a snfe
plane."
"But It Isn't public-spirited policy to
bosrd money." remarked the employ
er, thinking to quia the IrUlimsn. "Von
oubt to deposit It In good bank, so
ss to keep It In circulation."
"Sure. It'll sll go Into circulstlon

said Pat, proudly. Philadelphia Ledger.
about Mr. McLean's unwillingness
to appear.
Senator Dill asked why Major had I
given the Impression that Palmer I
and other were gcttln. Sen. I'nder- i
wood and other prominent people:
to help keep McLean off the witness
stand.
I don't know," the witness snld.
"except that there Is a tendency for
employes to try to show the boss
they are very active."
Mr. Palmer then was asked
about the Southern Pacific land
grant ease handled while he was
Attorney-General. He said Presl
den Wilson approved the decision of
the department of Justice not to ap
peal the case. This matter was tak
en up with the president, the wit
ness said, after Glfford Plnchot had
attacked the department for Its
falluV to act. All the officials In
the department handling the case
recommended against an appeal, he
testified, and "solicitor-general King
told me he would be ashamed to
argue the case In the supreme
conrt"
"When the announcement was
made that the government wouldn't
appeal that ease," Senator Pill went
on. "the stock of the Southern Pa
cific company jumped 16 per cent
didn't It?"
"I don't know," Palmer replied.
"I never read stock reports."
Senator Dill suggested that the
value of the land concerned was
$421,000,000 odd and that a gov
ernment appeal wouldn't havo cost
much.
"Not much," snld Palmer, "just
a few thousand dollars, but we had
to bring home proof as to the
knowledge of the Southern Pacific
company that these lands were min
eral. That s my recollection after
a matter of years."
"Returning to the conversation
you had with Zevely," put . In Sen
ator Walsh, democrat, Montana, "to
tell us about the obligation you
thought Fall and Sinclair were un
der to answer our questions."
It was the question as to wheth
er Fall would have to tell where he
got certain money," Mr. Palnvr ex
plained. "I think Zevelv said thtil
money enme from McLean. I told
him I thought he would have to
answer."
Senator Walsh then subjected
Palmer to a rigorous cross examina
tion on the failure of tho depart
ment of Justice to append the South
ern Pacific case. The senator de
scribed the government had won a
similar case against the railroad on
the same set of laws and facts but
Palmer disagreed with him.
Senator Dill asked If Mr. Palmer
had worked with Wilton J. Lambert,
another McLean attorney.
"Major's telegrams are wrong
again if they say that," Mr. Palmer
resumed. "I had no earthly reason
to doubt the truth of Mr. McLean's
statement to me that he had advanc
ed $100,000 to Fall and in pnssln?
It on to this committee I was not
seeking in any way to deceive the
committee. It wasn't my word; I
didn't know the facta."
Palmer said he nj turned over
McLean's telegram about the $100.
000 advance to the committee al
most without change.
"I put In 'so called' before Mr.
McLean's mention of the 'oil
crowd' to soften it." he said.
Senator 1)111 asked that the com
mittee procure a record of messages
sent over McLean's leased wire be
tween Palm Meach and the Wash
ington Post. Chairman Lenroot
said the step would be tnken, al
though It was said no law required
the keeping of records of private
messages transmitted by leased
wire.
The committee adjourned until
Id a. in. tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. Karl
C. Schiiylct. a Denver lawyer, sain
before the oil committee today that
the claim of Leo Stack which, he
pressed with Harry F, Sinclair, was
based on the theory of a conspiracy
between Sinclair and the Pioneer Oil
company.
"There at least was a prima facie
case," he said, "that the Pioneer
had Joined with Sinclair In helping
hi mto get the lease. '
flPOUt - THE AUTHOR OF THE SECOND
GOSPEL
"But Paul thought not good to take him (John Mark) with them, who
departed frcm them, and went not with them to the work."'
In other words. John Mark was a quitter. 1
And yet, John Mark was the author no. It isn't accurate to call
him the author of the. second gospel, for the Holy Spirit wrote it,
using John Murk's pen and his personal characteristics his Individu
ality. But Paul found him a coward, or laiy. or something of tbut
sort, and he didn't want such an alleged helper on the difficult mis
sionary journey he knew was ahead of him.
Yet John Mark became a soldier, and he wroto the soldier's gos
pel. Ho wrote for the Unman, who was the soldier of the world of
that time, and even Paul ufterwurds asked to liuve Mark come to him
In his imprisonment, for, said he, "He is profitable to me." That was
a rightabout, wasn't It? It shows what a new man Mark must have
become.
But that is what God always does with poor material which Is
unreservedly put into His hund. Cowards are made brave, foolish
people are made truly wise; and there Is no education In the world
that can hold a candle to the education in tho school of the Holy
Spirit, and no training In soldierly quulltles that compare with the
training that endures hardness like a good soldier of Jesns Christ.
So It was not at all remurkahlo that a coward who showed the
white feather on the first missionary journey of Paul and llamubas,
should finally be used to write the story of the t'aptalu of our Sal
vation. Let's read Mark's gospel and see If God won't put us lu truiu
ing to be good Boldiers of Jesus Christ.
