Job 38:1-20.
"The morning stars sang togeth
er, and all the sons of God shout
ed for joy.”
In his answer to Job, God is
shown as the sympathetis God of
nature, caring for the large and
small things of the universe. Stars
and angels rejoiced when God
formed (gradually, through orderly
nature) the earth.
Sunday.
I Kings 8:22-30.
“Behold, the heaven and heaven
of heavens cannot contain thee:
how much less this house that I
have budded.”
Solomon knows that God spir
itual, and though not confined to
one place, his presence is every
where, and though not confined to
prayers in the temple. So also he
hears our prayers, whether in the
church or in the temple of our in
ward lives.

A BANK THAT PAYS
ITS DEPOSITOR’S BILLS
A New Jersey bank has introduc
ei a system which is destined *to
revolutionize the method of paying
monthly household accounts. In
stead of writing from 15 to 25 or
more monthly checks, addressing an
equal number of envelopes and
spending half a dollar or more on
postage in paying the regular
monthly bills, the customer of the
bank simply writes one check
voucher a month to cover the total
of his or her bills and mails or
sends it to the bank, which will
take care of all "details, pay each
item separately, and at the end of
the month the original check vouch
er is returned to the customer by
the bank, properly indorsed and can*
celled, thus furnishing the custom
er with a complete record and re
ceipt for all payments made that
month.
The multiple payment check has
printed upon it a list of all the
principal business houses in the
town. The customer writes opposite
each name the amount to be paid
and fills in the check for the total
amount. On the stub portion, for
her own convenience, the housewife
writes the names of each party to
whom payment is made and1 thus
in one transaction gets a complete
and detailed record of all her pay
- *
ments for the month.
The use of the multiple check
plan does not in any wayinterfere
with the customer of the bank mak
ing use of a regular checking ac
count for the payment of items
which, for any reason, he or she
may desire to take care of person
ally.

BRIG.-GENERAL
J. J. PERSHING
_
LEADING THE UNITED STATES:
TROOPS IN RUNNING DOWN
MEXICAN BANDITS.
Second to none in the eyes of
the American people today, is
Brigadier General John J. Persh
ing, who is now engaged in lead
ing the American troops in the
capture of Villa and his followers.
This is not the first expedition in
to Mexico, either, for he was one
of the capturers of Geronimo in
the mountains near Villa’s present
hiding place. In 1906 President
Roosevelt promoted him to the rank
of Brigadier-General over the heads
of 862 other officers, a record jump.
At West Point Pershing was sen
ior cadet captain, a signal honor.
Not long after he left the academy
he plunged into the Geronimo cam
paign and fought that wily Indian
and others for ten years.
He was assigned to the old Sixth
Cavalry and in August of 1887,
scarcely a year from school, he was
complimented by General Miles for
“marching his troops with pack
train, over rough country', 140 miles
in forty-six hours, bringing in every
animal and man in good condition.”
This was in the Geronimo cam
paign.
i In 1889 he rescued a party of
horse thieves and cowboys yvho
; were besieged by- a hostile band of
Zunis without firing a shot.
A promotion for gallantry at the
battle of El Caney in the Spanish
American war yvas another of his
: laurels. In September. 1899, how
ever, his real chance came. He was
made adjutant-general of the De
partment of Mindanao and Jolo in
the Philippines, yvhere the fanatical
Moros defied all organized govern
ment.
By a brilliant victory at Bayan
he put the Moros to flight and then
j he attached the Sultan of Bacolod
who was entrenched in a fort yvhich
he thought could not be taken. The
. capture of this fort is remembered
for the charge of a hundred mad
dened Malays on thP bayonets of
Pershing’s men. The Americans
lost only two men slightly wounded.
One after another forty- Moro
forts were demolished and then
Pershing, having conquered the peo
ple, set out to become their friend.
He succeeded in winning the hearts
| of the warlike and implacable sav
ages and was elected a datta by
them. Later he led commands
against rebellious Moros under the
Sultan of Jolo in another part of
the Philippines.
On August 27 last Gen. Persh
ing’s life yvas saddened when his
wife and three of their children
were burned to death in a fire at
the Presidio in San Francisco.
Mr. G. Groot returned from Ka
! saan last evening on the mail boat.

GERMAN CAPTAIN
REFUSES TO TALK
NEW YORK, April 5.—Captain
Otto Walpert, in charge of the At
las service of the Hamburg-Ameri
can line, was taken before Federal
Judge Hand today on a present
ment by the federal grand jury
charging him with refusal to answer
questions. The jury is investigat
ing alleged plots to cause strikers
on steamship piers and ammunition
plants for which Congressman F.
Buchanan and others have already
been indicted.
The court was told that W’alpert
had declined to give information
concerning his returns with Franz
Von Rintelen, a German agent, and
others involved in the alleged plots.
Wnlpert explained that he believed
that if he were required to give
information it might incriminate
him. The case was put over until
Monday.
RADIUM NEVER SEEN IN
NATURE.
Radium is a metal and is describ
ed as having a white metallic lus
ter. It has been isolated only once
or twice and few people have seen
it. Radium is ordinarily obtained
from its ores in the form of hy
drous sulphate, chloride, or brom
ide, and it is in the form of these
salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or near
ly white substances, whose appear
ance is no more remarkable than
common salt or baking powder.
Radium is found in nature in such
exceedingly small quantities that
it is never visible even when the
material is examined with a mic
roscope. Ordinarily radium ore car
ries only a small fraction of a
grain per ton of material and rad
ium will never be found in large
quantities because it is formed by
the decay of uranium, a process
which is wonderfully slow, and ra
dium itself decays and changes to
other elements so rapidly that it
is impossible for it to accumulate
naturally in visible masses. Min
erals that carry radium, however.
lare fo.' ly ea^' to determine. One
of them, pitchblende, as generally
found, is black mineral about as
heavy as ordinary iron, but much
softer. The principal radium min
eral, carnotite, has a bright canary
yellow color, and is generally pow
dery. There are other redium
bearing minerals of less importance.

coughs, sneezes and shivers all the

STANDFORD UNIVERSITY
' CREW WAS DEFEATED
SEATTLE, April 8.—In a hotly
contested rowing match yesterday
between the Washington University
crew and the Stanford University
crew of California, resulted in tho
winning of the race in seventeen
minutes and six seconds. The vacp.
was for the championship of the
Pacific coast.
AN EASY WAY TO
WATERPROOF CLOTHES
Hunters, fishermen and other
lovers of out-door life may find it
to their advantage to take a leaf
from the advice of the French
Academy of Science to soldiers on
the subject of waterproofing their
garments. The process recommend
ed is simple and easy, durable, in
expensive and does not injure the
appearance of the clothes. It con
sists, according to La Nature, of a
very slight impregnation of the
fiber of the cloth with wood-fat.
This is dissolved and diluted in a
neutral, anhydrous, and volatile liq
uid. One takes five to ten parts
of Adeps lanae, producible at al
most any drug store, liquifies it
in a little chloroform and dilutes
with 90 to 95 parts of gasoline
(essence of petrol). The entire uni
form, braid, buttons and all is im
mersed in it, squeezed or stirred in
it for a few minutes, then wrung
out and dried in the air.
The woodsman may complete his
preparations to defy wet weather
by giving his heavier equipment
hags, leggins, etc., another treat
ment recommended in the same
journal to render articles of coarse
.cloth or canvas impermeable. Such
articles are smeared thoroughly
with a mixture of talc with 50
per cent vaseline. Red vaseline is
hest since it costs Ipss aifd gives
’an attractive khaki clor. The paste
is applied much like shoe blacking
and is then rubbed in vigorously
with a brush to make sure of an
intimate contact.

315, and that by July 1 next will
be 102,017,302. On July 1 last year
they figured the population at 100,
399,318.
On the basis of the rate of in
crease between the 1900 and the
1910 cencuses the bureau estimates
that there is an increase of 808,
997 in the population of the Unit
ed States every six months, or an
annual increase of 1,617,994. The
census estimate is that the popu
lation of the country is increasing
at the rate of 4,443 a day—108

Western states have led in the
growth, Washington heading the
