UTILITIES COMMISSION CONSIDERING FRANCHISE

Judge Clark Conducted Hearing at Francesville to Determine Tele- • phone Application. Delos Thompson, J. J. Montgomery, B. N. Fendig and Attorney Moses Leopold attended a bearing conducted'by Judge Clark, of the Public Utilities Commission at Francesville Wednesday. The purpose of the meeting was to determine whether or not a new franchise should be granted to a Francesville company. The present franchise at that place and Monon is held by A. E. Malsburg, of Lafayette, formerly of Remington. The Francesville Tribune gives the following account of the hearing: “Judge Clark, of the Public Service Commission of Indiana, held a public hearing here yesterday, to investigate the merits of the petition signed by some seventy local telephone patrons who complained about the service given by the Francesville Telephone Co. The petition also asked the commission to authorize the town board to grant Wilson Timmons a franchise to operate a central energy system or something equivalent. Quite a number of the patrons appeared before Judge dark and testified that the service here, both local and long distance, was not very good. Men who operate plants In other towns nearby were also before the board to testify about service and equipment. “A. E. Malsbary, of Lafayette, who owns the Francesville and Monon systems, testified In behalf of his interests and the present condition of his plant here. He stated that their work had been greatly set back on account of sleet and wind storms, but he was rebuilding his lines as rapidly as possible and had spent almost $6,000 for equipment on the Francesville plant since January Ist. He stated that he intended to build a line from here to Winamae In a short time and. would make other improvements to increase the efficiency of the service. The commission will not give its decision in the matter for some time.

Howard Clark, of Rensselaer, who has pitched sensational hall this season, will be given a try-out with the Peoria team of the Three-Eye league next year. He is a left-hand-er and judging from his on several occasions ought to develop into a star flinger. The Rensselaer Naps defeated the Athletics at Kopka park Sunday afternoon by a score of 8 to 7. The game was played during a drizzling rain and was a see-saw from start to finish. The Athletics won seven and lost one game this season, which is a very good record for a bunch of younsters.

Housewife's Morning Apparel

For the woman who does her own work the uniform for morning dress will be found most satisfactory. Mine are made of blue ohambray, very plain shirtwaist, and seven gored skirt sewed Into one belt, the skirt clearing the floor at least two Inches and the placket opening being at left side of front gore. The chambray launders easier than anything I have ever tried. My aprons are of blue and white checked gingham made with bib and edged with white rlckr&ck, which gives a neat finish. If I have an all day task I don a whits apron after noon and should an unexpected caller arrive I feel at ease to answer the door without the embarrassment which so often follows when one Is trying to economize by wearing out old skirts and waists and finding them, continually pulling apart. The uniform father than becoming tiresome from •ontinuous wear, Is restful. ~

he Temptations of Housewives

DOES A MAN know that from ths time'his wife says goodby to him In the morning till she opens the door to let him in at night she is constantly assailed by temptation T He imagines she is secure and safe in hei home, little dreaming that she is surrounded by temptations as irresistible as those which Burround the drinking man. when he enters a saloon, and that these longings attack her at every turn in her household duties. She decides to clean the pantry, and after removing all the china, spreads a newspaper to put- on the shelves, and her eyes are attracted by a love story. “ ‘Oh, Lillian, Lillian,’ Cynthia* low, rick voice shook with emotion. Birney Gates turned his head in he* direction and met her eyes, Curious gold green eyes they were, shadowed by long black lashes —languorous and enticing. For one mom&nt he gazed as if under a sudden spell. Later the girl dropped her fan and he stooped to pick it up. As he handed it back his fingers touched hers and the contact thrilled him strangely.” Isn’t that more"’ tempting than wiping off sugar bowls, soup plates and porridge pots, and is it any wonder that everything is forgotten while the reader perches on the stepladder, or the pantry shelf, or the handle of the broom if it is more convenient, and follows the fortunes of Cynthia to the end? She decides to dust the parlor, and picks up a magazine, and fifteen minutes later she wouldn’t know it if the fire department passed the house, for she is engrossed in the sufferings of some pale maid whose father is compelling her to marry a man she doesn’t love. If she is what foolish young women regard these dayß as well read, she is pursuing at least ten continued stories through the newspapers and magazines, and her brain is filled with romantic hash. Once a week her anxiety is relieved regarding the fate of Araminta, or the safety of the yacht-with Louise and- her millionaire lover on board, and likewise, but multiplied, she Is carrying the romatlc career of a dozen monthly magazine heroes and heroines in her head. She strings the beans thirty minuts late because she Just had to find out If Alexander stayed in Paris with Maude, or went to London with Agnes, and the potatoes are not put over according to the time table because a love scene In Rome was more thrilling. If she gets too much pepper in the peas, she was thinking of a man who has Imogens in his power when she shook the box, and all through the day everything that is delayed, or overdone, or underdone, or not done at all, owes its origin to her enthralling interest in a love story, for love not only makes the world go ’round, but the reading of it turns things topsy-turvy. When she has read every Instalment in the eight or ten serials with which she is clogging up her brain, what has she gained? Perhaps she has temporarily forgotten the heat pr some kindred worry, hut she has put nothing In her head that will last or that will do It any good. She has done nothing but kill time, the greatest of all crimes, since life is short and there Is so much to accomplish and so much to learn. She is living her own' love story, and doesn’t realize that when she wastes time in reading of Reginalds and CJhaunoeys and duxes and lords, the Is anything hut the brave, strong woman she demands her book heroines to be, and that she Is wronging her hero In real life by'-Ailing her brain with false standards, And making hdm waft for dinner because It took three pages for Lionel to propose. She can’t read and oome back to household duties with sstitnetion with her life, for when ' a woman reads a love story Involuntarily she puts herself in the heroine's plaoe, and her pantry shelf becomes a seat on a yacht or a throne and her kitchen drees assumes the texture of that of the girt In the book. She forgets soap, starch, pies and brooms. She forgets so much that Is practical and useful that the serial love story should be quarantined against unless the woman who reads is strong enough to resist the temptation to read it when more important things wwatt. MUTTON STEW.—Use the breast of mutton tor stew; have the bones •awed In several places tn order to oat In convenient lengths. Maze a thin gravy with one tableapooutfnl of drippings and two tableepoontuls of flour browned together, salt and pepper to taste and add one quart of water. To this add the meat and simmer gently for an hour. Add two onions, out fine, one cupful of diced white turnips and one cupful of diced carrots. Half an hour before serving add one pint of diced and parboiled potatoes." When in the serving dish sprinkle over the top one tablespoonful of finely obopped passkor.

Short Sermons POR A Sunday Half-Hour

Theme: EXPERIENCE. * + + + BY REV. DR. JUNIUS B. REM-EN-SNYDER. 4* 4 4 Text—Knowing that patience worketh experience.—Rom., v., 4. * * * This Is the great defect of youth—that it discounts the patient schooling and preparation of discipline, and would rush unguardedly upon' the the stage and into the battle of life. But there is danger of placing extreme emphasis on experience. We must have theoretical knowledge; the mind must be furnished by reading and the understanding strengthened by reflection. Our srtongest and noblest Inspirations come from within. It is in our still inner life that are nourished those visions of sentiment and poetry that make life noble and beautiful This is the mistake we ofter hear in regard to religion. It is said that religion is wholly a matter of experience. But experience cannot give us facts. It is not a creative but a testing faculty. He who takes the conclusions of his experience for the word of God will remain in as deep darkness and hopelessness with respect to the blessed truths and hopes of religion as were the great pagan thinkers. On the other hand, however, the apostle is altogether Justified In insisting in the text upon the necessity of experience to religion. One may be the most orthodox of believers, the profoundest of theolgians and the the most regular of church members, but If be does not know religion by experience he “denies the power thereof,” and his profession Is but “sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.” Religion first must be experienced in the heart. Our piety must be sincere. It must breathe within us the spirit of brotherly love. It must make us fear God. It must incite ub to hate wrong and meanness. It must make us broad minded and charitable. It ifiust create within us pure affections. It must stir us with high alms and noble ideals. In Bible language, It must make us "new creatures, created after God in true righteousness and holiness.” * But the supreme test of religion is that it be experienced in our lives. A man may have deep religious feeling, but if It does not prove Itself la action It is but emotionalism. Sentiment and prayers and tears do> but make a mockery of God and the Church If they do not isßue In right life. It is only when our religion masters our temptations, sweetens our ugly, tempers, overcomes our bad habits, oasts out our selfishness, moves us to do good to our neighbors, gives ns courage in danger sad faith and calm under the fire of affliction that it Is real. Then it has set to it the seal of experience, and then will it bring, th efavor of God and crown with an Immortal hope. The defect of too many professors Is the lack of this vital religious experience. Those who know them best doubt them most Those whose close contacts show Just what they really are have hard work to believe their piety genuine. If believers would only be more consistent In their lives and Illustrate their faith In their deeds, no argument would be needed to win the worldly to follow so gracious a guide as religion. Gibbon, In that famous chapter of his history where he seeks to account for the wondrous progress of the early Church, states that "the primitive Christian demonstrated his faith by his virtues’’ and "exercised himself In the habits of humility, meekness and patience.” The same Christian qualities will give more power to the Gospel today than all the learned arguments of theologians.

Giving Our Best Senrvioc.

There is a very precious comfort In the assurance that if we bring the best service we can to God, however humble it may seem, in their light of God's love it will be glorified. Our lives sometimes seem very valueless when we keep them for ourselves selfishly; hut when we pot them In God’s hand and see what He does with them, and how they are transfigured and transformed, we are amazed at what we behold. Let us put ourselves completely In the hand at God. It we will do that, He will transform and enrich our life a hundredfold. Let ns not hold back that which it is within our power to give to carry the goepel to the heathen, or lift the burden from the shoulders of God's poor. Though It seems little in our hands. If with loving purpoeo wo put It In tho hands of God, It shall bo multiplied under His touch of Infinite love. The word of sympathy it Is our chanoe to speak, though It be as humble as the "cup of oold water" that Jesus blesses, becomes a great thing when tho tawing countenance of God shines upon It —Rev. Louis Albert Banka, D. D.

Safe and Blessed Path.

Not in husbanding oar strength, but In yielding’in Its service; not fas burying our talents, but In administering them; not in hoarding oar seed in the barn, but In it; not In following earthly policy, but la surrendering ourselves to the win of God, do wo find tho sags and
