DR. SHORT TELLS
OF PASSION PLAY
Describes Religious Drama
Given in Little Bavar
ian Village.
EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE
Dwellers In Ober-Ammergau Thus
Fulfill Vow That if Town Was
Spared They Would Por
tray the Passion. '
Taylor-Street Methodist Church was
packed to the doors last night. Dr. Short
not only delivered a most interesting lec
ture on the "Passion Play," which he
saw in 1900, but he also led the immense
throng in the most inspiring song service
ever heard in this city. The male chorus
and cornet assisted splendidly. For blocks
away the people heard "Pull for the
Shore," "The King's Business" and "Sow
ing the Seed," sung by a happy congre
gation. Many hundreds who come before the
usual time tor opening services found the
church crowded and were obliged to turn
away. Dr. Short has promised to repeat
the lecture next Sunday night for those
who were unable to hear it.
During the lecture, which .was illus
trated with excellent views, the pastor
said in part:
The story of Ober-Ammergau in its pro
'ductlon of the Passion Play reads like
romance, and charms one with its sacred
sentiment. And he who enters into the
spirit of its story and follows it through
will come away feeling that the Christ
life, aset forth in Sacred Writ, has in
deed been vividly portrayed before him,
and in his heart will spring up a sym
pathetic feeling for its hero the man
Christ Jesus.
"It is said that the illustrious Gustavus
Adolphus wrought great havoc with the
Germans who opposed him. In this havoc
the Bavarians received their full share.
Following this war a dire pestilence laid
its black hand upon the Bavarian villages
and in many Instances entire families
were swept into the maelstrom of black
disaster and death.
"The village of Ober-Ammergau, because
of its excellent sanitary condition, and the
enforced quarantine laws, for a long time
escaped the deadly peril. Finally Casper
Schuchlcr, who had been laboring in a
near-by village, desired to return to Ober
Ammergau. He did so by evading the
quarantine officials. In two days he died,
and in the month that followed, 84 peo
ple perished. In utter desperation the
villagers met to consider plans of deliv
erance, and cried unto the God of their
fathers. They asked for deliverance ana
promised, if delivered, that they would
every ten years give the Passion Play.
The plague Is said to have been stayed
from that hour. And from then till now,
every tenth year, from all parts of the
earth, the multitudes meet to behold this
the world's great religious drama-tragedy;
and In this way the marvelous life
of the, Nazarene Is being preached to
all men.
"Ober-Ammergau Is a pretty little village
nigh unto the Bavarian Alps. Its homes
are small but clean, and its streets nar
row but thoroughly sanitary. Its people
are industrious and religious, and the
church is its rallying center. Every man
owns some land, and the chief industry of
the 1500 people may be judged when it is
said they own 600 cows. That 'the low
ing herd winds slowly o'er the lea" is
not a sentiment, but a bewitching charm
to all who have the good fortune to spend
a day or a night in that unique little
city.
"Those who take part in this now fa
mous play come from all spheres of life;
but the chief parts are taken by wood
carvers; and let it be remembered that
the ambition of every youth is so to live
that he may have one day a principal
part in this most wonderful performance.
"The theater seats 4000. It cost about
$40,000. The stage and front seats are ex
posed to the weather, therefore those that
sit front have cheap seats, and the far
ther away from the stage the closer to
royalty. The performance begins at 8 A.
M. and ends at 5:30 P. M., giving an hour
and a half for luncheon. The visitors are
entertained in the homes of the villagers.
The party with which I traveled stopped
with Matthew.
"The passion of our Lord Is filling the
whole earth with its sacred power. Its
pathos is winning the world's heart; "Tts
light Is scattering the world's darkness;
Its truth girdling the globe. And ere long
we shall look upon his face, and ehout
the shout of victory."
PREACHES COMMUNION SERMON
Dr. Wilson Discusses Symbolism of
Service at Grace Church.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, pastor of
Grace M. K. Church, preached a com
munion sermon at the morning serv
ice, using as a text Paul's words: "For
I received of the Lord that which I
also delivered unto you, that the Lord
Jesus in the night. In which he was
betrayed tooic bread, and when he
iiad given thanks, he broke it, and
said, 'This is my body which is given
for you; this do in remembrance to
me.' Ia like manner also the cup, after
supper, saying, 'This cup Is the new
covenant in my blood; this do as often
as ye drink it in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread and
drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's
death till he come. Wherefore, who
soever shall eat the bread or drink the
cup of the Lord in an unworthy man
ner, shall be guilty of the body and the
blood of the Lord. But let a man prove
himself and so let him eat of the bread
and drink of the cup." " First Corin
thians 11 23-28.
"Did you ever see the beauty of
the symbolism here?" said Dr. Wil
son. "This bread was once growing in
the waving wheat field in life and
Ibeauty. But the sickle was thrust In
and the stocks shocked, then put in
the threshing machine, and when the
grain was separated, it was put be
tween the upper and nether millstones
and ground to powder. All this was
necessary that we might have bread.
Jesus saw in the bread on their table
a sign of his own sacrifice. And the
wine is the beautiful grape, its life
blood crushed, that we may have drink.
And whenever me see it, our Lord
would have us think of the process as
remlnJer of his sufferings.
"It Is not strange that Christianity
should be founded on sacrifice. What
good thing is not? The Nation wins
our love and patriotic devotion by the
blood of its heroes. The mother's love
has the unchallenged right of way over
all others, because of the suffering it
represents. It is Christ's plan to win
the world and draw us to him by the
moral magnetism of his sacrifice for us.
As he is proclaimed in this service
he lifts us. by the force of heroic and
unselfish self sacrifice, from sins to
the contemplation of his salvation.
"This service looks three ways: It is
a. memorial; It shows forth the Lord's
death. It Is a means of grace; is it not
the communion of the body and blood
of Christ? It Is a prophecy; 'ye do
proclaim the Lord's death till he come.
He is not always to be the suffering
savior, but the world's triumphant
Lord.
"There are solemn and sacred obli
gations that we are under and we must
recognize them in other things. If a
man sells a piece of property or enters
into an agreement with someone, no
matter iow much wrong he may suf
fer from the transaction, he is bound
to carry out his agreement until he is
released. 'And so let him eat of this
bread and drink of this cup.' There are
numbers of terms by which the holy
observance is named; and each one is
significant of certain characteristics
that belong to the ordinance.
"First of all. it is a memorial serv
ice. 'For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup, ye do show forth
the Lord's death till he come.' What
is that? The Lord's death? Yes, ye do
show forth the Lord's atoning death,
the death he died, in propitiation for
our sins. Ye do show forth the Lord's
death In Its atoning character for the
sins of the world; that 'he suffered for
us and died for our sins, according to
the Scriptures." Remember this sacred
relationship, and show forth the Lord's
death, as an atoning sacrifice for the
Bins of the world. That is one name by
which it is called, but there is an
other. "It is a sacrament. And that means
an oath of fealty; of continued loyal
ty in the service. The equivalent of this
word is not found in the English Bi
ble, but the spirit of It is there. As a
Roman soldier took the oath to be
faithful to the leader of the army and
to the Generals, so we are to take this
oath of allegiance, -and promise that
we will be loyal to Christ. That is
what is meant by sacrament.
"Then It has another signification;
it is called the Eucharist. It is a
thanksgiving service because during
its administration they sang hymns of
praise and thanksgiving from the be
ginning. They had songs of exultation
durlne the progress of the celebration.
And it is a very fitting thing to offer
praise to God while we engage in this
service."
"CHRIST AND HIS CABINET"
Subject of Dr. House at the First
Congregational Church.
The following extracts are taken from
Rev. B L. House's morning sermon on
"Christ's Cabinet" at the First Congrega
tional Church:
"When the President of the United
States selects his cabinet and makes it
known, it creates great interest, for it
foreshadows his policy. Thus we may
think of Christ and his disciples. They
form his cabinet and indicate his policy
and relationship to us.
"The first two are Peter and Andrew.
Peter is impetuous and headstrong. He
is fitted to bring his Master into a great
deal of trouble. Andrew is the opposite.
He is slow but sure. He does not turn
the world upside down. He helps to turn
it back when Peter ha turned- it upside
down. He carries less fireworks and
therefore is less dangerous.
The next two are James and John. We
have in these two age and youth. One for
wisdom, the other for strength; one for
cautiousness, the other for movement; one
for perseverance, eagerness, affability; the
other for experience, wisdom and dignity.
"Next two are Philip and Batholomew,
the - men of slow and quick Intellect.
Philip finds it hard to see. But Nathaniel
only asks three questions and Is satisfied.
Thomas and Matthew are a more doubtful
combination. A church built on faith and
the confession of the unseen surely had
no place for a doubting Thomas. Yet
Christ has a place for him, and sends
him with Matthew, whose triumphant
faith tore him away from his business
and wealth to follow Christ. One repre
sents a fearless search, the other a fear
less faith. Surely these two are not an
tagonistic. "The next two are James the Less and
Lebbeus. James gives to us a doctrine of
a life, Lebbeus or Jude the doctrine of
a creed. The sixth pair shows the great
est contrast. We have Simon, the zealot,
and Judas. Simon shrinks from no sacri
fice, no peril; he gives all, while Judas
keeps back and finds fault and counts.
All of mankind is seen in these 12 men.
They are characteristic of humanity as a
whole. Now notice a few things about
this cabinet.
"They were given power for their work.
No body of men in the history of the
world ever undertook such a work as
they. We are reading with interest how
men had to tunnel the mountains, level
the hills, fill up the valleys, span the
chasms, to get railroads over the Cas
cades, but they did It. But the disciples
did greater things in revolutionizing so
ciety, in overcoming caste and prejudice
and smiting error. They never could have
accomplished these things had it not been
for the divine equipment.
"And then they gained the victory, al
though some of them died before it came.
But the man who fights for the right,
or a principle, gains the victory whether
It comes in his day or not. Thousands In
Russia are laying down their lives for the
victory of freedom, and they are gaining
it, not in their day, but in the days to
come. We must go forward like them.
Only In such an advance is there hope
for us."
"THE TRUTH AS COMFORTABLE"
Sermon by Dr. Small at the First
Unitarian Church.
Rev. W. F. Small, minister of the Uni
versalis! Church, preached yesterday
morning at the First Unitarian Church.
His subject was "The Truth as Comfort
able," and he said:
"Doubtless with most of us it ,1s habit
to think that many do not find truth
comfortable. Do they not refuse to investi
gate? We are wrong. No one doubts
that truth is comfortable and comforting.
The nub of the entire issue Is right here.
Others are as comfortable in their views
of truth as we are in ours. For instance,
one person thinks religion to be, not in
digenous, but a superlmpo8ltion on human
nature from on high. Another thinks re
ligion to be the most natural expression
of the soul; and he wonders how the first
one can find comfort in such a view. It is
precisely true regarding every belief to
some it is true, to others not true. We
sometimes wonder If anyone can really
believe in the endless punishment of some
souls and take comfort in such a view.
Because they believe it to be truth.
"But some day he who believes-religion
elementally extraneous to man, or he who
believes in endless hell, reads or hears
something that changes his viewpoint.
He begins to feel uncomfortable, because
he begins to doubt the truth of his posi
tion, and he remains uncomfortable 'till
he has passed through doubt to some
deeper affirmation. Truth hasn't altered,
but the truth-seeker's outlook has altered,
and he has gained a pronounced satisfac
tion. "So many are asking,. Is the world
growing better? It is, as it Is growing at
all. We are facing crucial days, it is said.
The American people are money and
pleasure- mad. We are going down to
death, even as Babylon and Rome went.
There is awful truth in the indictment.
And certainly no time ever needed more
the message that a man's life consists
not in the money and material interests
he holds. And that is precisely the mes
sage that is being proclaimed. A mighty
awakening of conscience is In progress.
Let's have a part in it, sustained by the
conviction that God is keeping watch
above bis own.
"Any way it is viewed, . truth is ulti
mately beneficent, sweetening, inspiring,
for truth has her coming from eternity,
and to that she returns; truth is the mind
of God, the gravitation principle of the
spiritual order, the superior treasure of
the soul.

SPECIAL AGENT
PLAYS DETECTIVE
Clever Methods Employed to
Trap Men Just Convicted
of Land Frauds.
JONES GATHERS EVIDENCE
Government Employe Adopts Ruse
to Learn Schemes of Swindlers
Behind "Kmmetsburg of
New Zealand Company."
Charles Nickell, of Medford. who was
convicted Jointly with Martin G. Hoge,
of that place, on July 27, for complicity
in the fraudulent timber-land operations
of Miller and Kincart, will appear for
sentence at 9:30 this morning before Judge
Hunt in the United States. District Court.
It develops that there is considerable
interesting unwritten history back of the
methods employed by the Government in
trapping the brace of swindlers who had
been carrying on their nefarious schemes
under the naihe of the "Emmetsburg of
New Zealand Company," a mythical con
cern. Special Agent Horace Tillard Jones was
detailed by the General Land Office at
Washington to investigate the numerous
complaints that had come to the depart-

ment relative to the operations of Miller
and Kincart, and was mainly instrumental-
In running them to earth. Now that
they are serving time on McNeill's Island,
and convictions have been obtained in the
cases of their alleged confederates, Mr.
Jones feels that the ends of Justice will
not be Jeopardized to any extent by re
vealing some of the methods adopted by
him in connection with the affair. Jones
was stationed at the Roseburg Land Of
fice at the time rumors of the frauds
first came to his-attention, and describes
what happened in this fashion:
Jones Tells Story.
"On October 19, 1904," said he, "having
heard that there was a swindler operating
in timber lands at Medford, Or., I left
Roseburg and proceeded there to investi
gate the deal. I went to the office of one
Harry W. Miller, at the Nash Hotel, in
Medford, and asked him how about lo
cating on a timber claim, he being in
that business. I pretended that I was a
man about to invest money in timber and
In that way was enabled to get the whole
scheme out of Miller without his becom
ing suspicious of my purpose.
"In the course of the conversation with
him he referred to Martin G. Hoge and
Charles Nickell as persons knowing of
the lands and the method of filing on the
same, and also stated that Frank E. Kin
cart was doing the cruising for the com
pany that he, Miller, pretended to repre
sent, the Emmettsburg of New Zealand.
"After taking a number of affidavits of
others who had actually gone into the
scheme with Miller and Kincart, I pro
ceeded to Portland and placed the mat
ter before the then United States Attor
ney, John H. Hall, and was assured by
him that I had a good case against all of
the parties except Nickell, and that it
was no use to try and indict him, as he
had Influential personal friends and was
quite a politician in his part of the state.
"While talking over this matter with
Colonel Greene, some time afterward, he
stated that he had seen Nickell In Hall's
waltiriVroom at about the time I came
to Portland to make complaint against
these persons.
Complaints Are Issued.
"Mr. Hall made out a complaint against
Miller and Kincart and gave it to me to
take to Medford and place before the Uni
ted States Commissioner there. After
swearing to the same at Medford, I mailed
the warrants which were issued on the
complaint to the United States Marshal at
Portland, and he sent a deputy.
"In the meantime I heard that
Miller had left town and it was said
he was going to Roseburg to attend
to some matters preparatory to leav
ing the state. Mr. Hall had told me that
if Miller attempted to leave Medford I
could call upon the Town Marshal to
arrest and hold him until the Deputy
from Portland could reach there, so I
telephoned to Roseburg and had the
Town Marshal there arrest Miller when
he got off the train.
"Before this was done, however, I
had received a telegram from Colonel
A. R. Greene, instrucing me to drop
everything at Medford and return at
once to Roseburg. As I was not work
ing under his instructions, directly,
and as the case would have been Jeo
pardized if left alone' at that time, I
refused to obey, and proceeded with
the case. If I had left, all witnesses
would have been warned and Miller
and Kincart would have left the state,
as they were endeavoring to do at the
time.
"Miller and Kincart were given a
preliminary hearing at Oakland but as
Nickell had not been Included In the
complaint he was not made to appear
until the case had been placed before
Francis J. Heney, who succeeded Hall
as United States Attorney, at which
time he was included in the indict
ment with the rest of the defendants."
Record of H. T. Jones.
Special Agent Jones was born Feb
ruary 28, 1876, at Baltimore, Md., and is
a typical Southerner both in speech
and manner. He is considered one of
the most reliable men in the Land
Department, and it was because of his
trustworthiness that he was selected
to cope with the gang that was en

gaged in swindling residents of Placer,
Medford, Ashland and other places in
Southern Oregon. That the trust was a
wise one Is evident from results, as
Mr. Jones lost no time in rounding up
the whole outfit. It is worthy of note,
however, that before approaching
Miller in the role of a would-be dupe,
the special agent made himself appear
as verdant as possible, both in dress
and permitting an abnormal accumula
tion of hirsute appendage, so that when
he appeared in Miller's office, the lat
ter congratulated himself upon having
caught the prize sucker of Southern
Oregon.
Jones-Xeuhausen Engagement.
An Interesting feature -of Mr. Jones'
presence In Portland during the pen
dency of the land-fraud case Is the
fact that announcement has Just been
made of his engagement to Miss Marie
C. Neuhausen, sister of Thomas B.
Neuhausen, special Inspector of the In
terior Department. His intended bride,
accompanied by her mother, Joined Mr.
Neuhausen here several weeks ago,
having come from St. Paul. Minn., to
make Portland their permanent home.
Mr. Neuhausen has recently purchased
a comfortable residence on the East

T AS
COXCEPTIOX OF THE SAVIOR IS
WROXG, SAYS THOBURN.
Had He Been as Portrayed by Mod
erns, People Would Have
Feared Him.
Bishop Thoburn, who has spent 47 years
as a missionary In India, returning two
years ago, lectured at the T. M. C. A.
auditorium yesterday afternoon on "The
Christ Life." He said in part:
"Christ was different from the popular
ideal of today. All people, except the re
ligious Jews, who hated him, were eager
to meet Christ, and even the little chil
dren were not afraid of him. He looked
like the men of today, and the people
came to him. Had he looked as the mod
ern pictures of the Christ are made to
look, people would have feared him and
avoided him. The poor came to him and
found him kind, helpful and -benevolent.
He was hungry and thirsty and grew
weary from the Journey, as men do to
day. "He taught people on the highway and
in the streets, and always in the sim
plest manner. I know of no more touch
ing example than the sermon to the wom
an at trie well curb. It was a sermon
that revolutionized the religious worship
of the world, and yet it was delivered to
only one poor woman. Likewise his ser
mon on the mount played its part in the
rebuilding dT the world-religion, and is
second only to the lesson to the woman
at the well.
"We in the United States know not
what poor people are. Of 300,000,000 peo
ple in India, fully 50,000,000 seldom have
more than one good meal daiy and never
know what it means to eat until their
hunger is satisfied, and fully 100,000,000
will lie down tonight with no covering
more than the branches of a tree or the
vaulted dome of the sky. Christ was
one of these poor people.
"The Christ life is a life that is going
out in sympathy to the poor, the orphan,
the sick and the distressed. We must
think for the poor as well as helping
them in other ways. It is not always
money that they need.
"Not only the fallen, but those In dan
ger of falling, need our sympathy and
help."
B-ishop Thoburn goes back to India in
November.
GRILLS SABBATH DESECRATORS
Rev. Warren Says Pleasure-Seeking
Is National Weakness.
Rev. Fred J. Warren, pastor pf the St.
Johns Congregational Church, yesterday
morning spoke on "Sabbath Keeping,"
and endeavored to show that the world
would be better off, mentally, morally
and physically, if Sunday were observed
more generally as a day of rest and re
ligious exercises. Rev. Mr. Warren said
In part:
There are apparent advantages of Sab
bath keeping and piety here on earth
which demonstrate that the religious
faith and the religious . life procure
pleasures which surpass those of worldly,
sinful people.
"Nationally let ns contrast Canada and
France. The former has the best Sab
bath laws of any nation on earth and is
spoken of as an ideal government until
some of our own statesmen have de
clared it better than our own., while on
the other hand, France is spoken of as
licentious, vicious and the originator of
every vice. Until her own great men
have declared that they 'have passed
from anarchy to despotism; tried two or
three forms of the republic and of mon
archy; exhausted proscription, the scaf
fold, civil and foreign war, and after so
many attempts, and attempts paid with
the fortune and blood of France, we are
hardly more advanced than at the out
set.' "Canada prosperous and great, with a
penalty of fine and imprisonment not
only upon the employe but the employer,
while France opens all her courts on
Sunday, thus disregarding God's law.
When Isreal quit keeping the law of
God she was scattered abroad. Rome
broke every law of God, seeking her
own pleasure and where Is she today?
Babylon and Greece tell the same tale.
America Is fast becoming a Nation of
Sabbath desecrators. Sunday excursions
and picnics prevail. The railroads and
istreet railway companies epend their
time in promoting Sunday traffic. What
for? Is it for the benefit of their em
ployes or the masses of mankind? No,
but for the dollar. We are social and
business Ishmaelites attempting to main
tain an economic and industrial ad
vancement fit for the kingdom of God
along with selfishness and greed suited to
Ignorant barbarians. We are commercial
and Industrial cannibals, devouring each
other without remorse. Our practical
exemplification of religion pure and un
dented, is to rob the widow and the
fatherless and to grab and keep every
thing In the world."

HENEY SAYS, NEXT"
Charles Watson Takes His
Turn Before Court.
PERJURY IS THE CHARGE
Alleged to Have Taken Homestead la
Interests) of Hendricks and to
Have Sworn Falsely In
Making Proof.
Charles A. Watson, of Fossil, Wheel
er County, Or., Is the next land-fraud
defendant to face criminal proceedings
in the Federal Court. His case comes
up this morning before Judge Hunt,
and it Is expected that not more than
two or three days will be occupied by
the trial.
The defendant is involved In an in
dictment of the Federal grand Jury, re
turned April 8, 1905, charging him with
a violation of section 5392 of the Re
vised Statutes, In having, on June 23,
1904, committed perjury in connection
with- the final proof on his homestead
entry for the south half of the north
east quarter, southeast quarter of the
northwest quarter, and northeast quar
ter of the southwest quarter, section
11, township 6 south, range 19 east,
Willamette Meridian. The land is lo
cated adjacent to the chain of claims
surrounding the pasture of the Butte
Creek Land, Livestock & Lumber Com
pany, and it is alleged by the Govern
ment that in his final proof before
United States Commissioner James S.
Stewart, Watson swore that he was an
actual settler on the land, and had Im
proved and cultivated the same to the
extent of inclosing the tract with a
three-wire fence, besides erecting a
cabin and making other substantial
improvements. The entry was held up
by the Land Office at The Dalles as
soon as the true situation became ap
parent, in consequence of which no
further effort has been. made to perfect
title.
Coe D. Barnard and Clarence B.
Zachary, the witnesses for Watson on
his final proof, were also indicted at
the same time under separate charges
of having committed perjury in testi
fying to the character of improvements
on the claim. Their cases have been
consolidated, and their trial will follow
that of Watson. It is believed that
both cases can be disposed of this
It is thought to be the policy of the Gov
ernment first to attack the outposts of
the Butte Creek Land. Livestock and
Lumber Company, as represented in the
Hendricks, Watson, Zachary and Bar
nard cases, and finally, after the Mays
case has been disposed of, to begin a
general assault upon the main positions
of the big corporation by process of crim
inal proceedings against all the officers
thereof,. It is regarded as highly prob
able that Francis J. Heney realizes that
if he can succeed in convicting Watson,
Barnard and Zachary, reinforced by his
victory in the Hendricks case, it will give
him an Important prestige when he comes
to try the case against the officers of the
company.
Much of the testimony that went in evi
dence during the progress of the Hen
dricks trial can be utilized in the case
against President Steiwer, Secretary and
Treasurer Hendricks, Manager Zachary
and other officers of the corporation that
is accused of fencing in a large body of
the public domain at the confluence of
the John Day River and Butte Creek, in
Wheeler County.
United States District Attorney Bristol
will conduct the prosecution of Watson
until the return of Heney next Wednes
day from San Francisco, while Judge A.
S. Bennett, of The Dalles, will represent
the defendant.
Rooster Drives Hens to
Their Roosts
Fowl of Almost Human Intelligence
Takea Cue From Farmer and Seen
That Flock Is Properly Housed.
DID you ever hear of a round-up roos
ter? Perhaps not, but there Is one
at Milwaukie, owned by W. H. Edwards,
which takes particular delight in sur
rounding the hens on the place early
every evening and driving them into their
roosting quarters. Farmer Edwards re
cently purchased a number of blooded
hens and experienced great difficulty in
getting them to their roosts each night.
The rooster soon took charge of the sit
uation, and he has remedied the matter
to such an extent that Mr. Edwards no
longer has to look after the welfare of
his flock.
"When I got a new flock of hens, I had
a hard time the first night to drive them
into the hencoop," said Mr. Edwards, re
cently. "I noticed the old rooster that
night watching me with one eye open,
and he as much as said that I didn't
know how to treat his lady friends.
"When I did get the hens In the coop
they refused to retire to the perches, and
Really Bully.
A nice little man
With a pretty fair stomach
Hit it hard with the Coffee
And got a little hummock
Right in the middle
Of his hard-working liver
And the bottled up bile
Made the little man shiver.
One day he had the colic
And the wise little chap
Thought he better quit the frolic
For it dealt him such a rap
So the Coffee was let out
With a fair amount of grace
And a piping cup of Postum
Was served
in
its
place.

"There's a Reason"
The "Quality"
of Pabst Beer
The Best Materials and the Cleanest
Process Make It Most Popular.
Pabst's process of brewing is exclu
sive all the way through, and that Is
the "reason why" Pabst beer is today
the most popular brand of beer in the
world. ... .
People know when they drink PabBt
Blue Ribbon Beer that it is the cleanest
beer in the world because it never is
touched by human hands in Us entire
process of manufacture.
People know when they drink Pabst
Blue Ribbon Beer that it is the richest
beer in the world, because it is made
from the exclusive Pabst eight-day malt,
which is the only malt in the world that
retains all of the richness of the barley.
People know when they drink Pabst
Blue Ribbon Beer that they are drinking
a beer that is fully aged, because it Is
aged by the exclusive Pabst process and
ia never mixed with "young" beer to give
It head or body.
People know that for the past sixty
years Pabst has been foremost in the
manufacture of a superior beer because
he has spent millions to brew a beer that
is perfect in Age, Purity and Strength,
and Pabst's Blue Ribbon stands today
without an equal as a clean, pure, whole
some, refreshing" bpverasre.

this greatly Incensed the old rooster. He
had taken to his perch, but when he saw
I was having trouble he determined to
take things into his own hands.
"Like a streak of lightning he was
down into the scene of action, and the
way he bossed those hens wasn't slow at
all. He seemed to talk to them and order
them about. If they didn't obey, he would
give them a good, hard peck. Well, it
took that old rooster Just about two min
utes to get the hens on their perches, and"
then he turned in, supremely happy witn
himself. Money couldn't buy that old
rooster."
