Mighty Factor In Business. Advertising a Strong Creative Force-Multiplies Human Wants and Intensifies Desires. Advertising is today the mightiest factor in the liKiness world. It is a business builder. It is

No other group of men, except advertising men, has ever developed a business of such magnitude jn s- short a time. Mistakes were inevitable. Reasonable and clear-headed men hastened to correct mistakes as soon as they were discovered. We built, and altered to meet conditions as we built, so that the structure we present toay meets the demands of today.

DIVORCE. If Christianity is the highest type of civilization and who can deoy it? then is it not true that we rue retrograding instead of advancing on certain lint's. There is a social scourge more blighting and rn -re destructive of family life than Mormonism. If is the fearfully increasing number of divorce mills tin - .ughout the United States. These mills are slowly hut suHy grinding to powder the domestic altars i the nation. Husband end wife are separated on the most flimsy pretexts. And as if the different states of the union weie not sufficiently accommodating in this respect, one state ha3 tee unenviable distortion of granting a bill of divorce for the mere ;.akir.g of it on the sole condition of a brief sojourn w i' hin her borders. t If men and women had due consideration for their luties and responsibilities, their rights would take an- of themselves. There ca be no rights where t 'it-re are no corresponding obligations. There are no rights against the law of God. Cardinal Gibbons

; WITCHCRAFT If I ENGLAND. The Last of the Judicial Prosecution! and Executions. Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, had hansod two poor women i.' Oambnihi. in 1 ;, Uut a few yen , later

irti i iiief .Justice Holt set him-f elf Rtroncly against such charges I and in etenr cuvo tried befo html

direetctl the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal. In a celebrated

trial at Uuildford in 1701 not only! was the supndied witcli found not'' guilty, but her false accuser, one( John Hathaway, was condemned to' a year's imprisonment and to stand in the pillory three times. Yet, horrible to relate, a woman named Hicks and her daughter, a child of nine, were hanged together at Huntingdon on July 28, 1716, for. raking a storm of wind in league with tho devil. j The last judicial sentence for witchcraft in England was in 173 G,! one Jane Wenham being actually found guilty, according to the indictment, of "conversing familiarly with tho devil in the form of a cat." The judge, however, procured a reprieve for poor old Jane, and

site was ultimately released, to end her days in peace. Last, the witchcraft act was re

pealed for the United Kingdom in' the same year. It wa3 quite time, for only nine years earlier, in 1727, a woman was brought before Captain David Ross, deputy sheriff of Sutherland, charged with "causing her daughter to be shod by the dev-, il," and so making her lame Jboth in ' hands and feet. The fact having been proved to the captain' satis-! faction, the old woman was put into , a tar barrel and burned at Dornoch, j The weather being cold at the time,' vre are told that she "sat composed-'

ly warming Herself by the tire prepared to consume her while, the other instruments of death w:ere getting ready." . The last attempt to execute a witch in England ended disastrously for the perpetrators. In 1751 at Tring two old people named Osborne, man and wife, being suspected of witchcralt, were seized by a crowd, stripped, cros3 bound and

thrown into a pond. Both died of i this brutal treatment. But the' witchcraft act had been repealed,,1 and, a verdict of willful murder having been returned against one Col- j ley, the chief instigator of the as-j eault, he was in due course tried;

and hanged. Cornhill Magazine.

A BUDDING GENIUS.

Our Express Service. If the express companies performed their functions wit ii greater expedition and with reasonable economy there would be jit tie criticism of this interloper. But they are indifferent to the reasonable demands of the public for quick service, and they are extortionate in their charges. Saturday, Feb. 4, a package was sent to Pewee Valley by the interurban express from Louisville The sender heard nothing from it, and Thursday called up the recipient. She had not received the package, but had started an investigation. Friday she found the package at the express office six days from Louisville. -1 - How long it IipcI been there we do not know, and it is not important. The express officetlid: not deliver the package, and did not notify the person for whom it was intended that the pack'age 'was in the' office. In the city of Louisvill the deliver packages and they collect them. But. there is no expeditious service, no quick transportation. That is tne American way, and it is unfortunate that the electric lines are falling into the same habits. If you desire to establish express connections with the different portions of the south through any business plans of your own, you must calculate double express charges. You leave Louisville by the Adams and the Adams in a Lttle while tiansfers the business to the Southern, and you pay each full price ior the whole service. All of this is in striking contrast and humiliating contrast to services rendered to the public in England first, by the railroads, and, second, by the parcels post the postoffice department. In England the railroads collect and deliver" freight large or small, as the shipper desires. They have two rates of charges one for the freight that is collected and delivered, and the other from "station to station." By this method you can ship into London every morning butter and eggs, early vegetables and fruits game or other package, large or small. If you prefer the postoffice department, you can send by parcels post in the same way with the same prompt delivery. Between the two there is a perfect service, covering the whole demand of domestic life and commercial life. Our express service is the most expensive of all impositions on interstate commerce oi"6n local traffic These companies usurp the functions of the railroad, and they pay the railroads one-half of all they 'catch," the shipper paying each the full bill. Yet when it is proposed that the government shall adopt the parcels post there is- an outcry from all who benefit by the present arrrangement, and congress, year after year, adjourns without taking any forward step in this matter.

The fueling of profound gratitude for the help which I have had from that institution abides with me to this day. It was during the next two or three years that my first aspirations and ambitions made themselves

felt. I became a terrific worker, toiling every night until 11 o'clock after the Cooper institute was over, in the conviction that in me another heaven born genius had been given to the world.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Dr6ionco of Mind In tho Face of a j Terrible Danger. ! One of the strangest incidents of Iho ejo rebellion is told by Wib linm I'orlif. Mitchell in his "Hem inifccnr f -v (Jrent .Mutiny." Mr. M.t 'it v. ho wu sergeant of a high!.-, i rcimcnt. had the rnufortun ' - u hntt'e to lo o tho grpiit ;i . hich i'ry o'dior i irncd 1 n whet " :n kmn i as a "Ci.ii: rill" and t nipped to Uio shouhivrs in such a manner that it crowed the breast : ' Jinny a man owed his life to the fnct that bullets brjnme spent in passing through these roils. It happened that in the heat of the fight my roll was cut right through whero the two ends were fastened togethor by the stroke of a keen edged tulwnr, which was intended to cut me. I As the day was warm, I was rath- , er glnd to get rid of it, but Ly 10 o'clock at night there was a difference in temperature, and when I was re''nifl from patrol duty and wanted to lie down to sleep I felt tho eoM. wet grass anything but comfortable, for a kilt is not the most suitable article of dress on a cold November night in upper India. My company was encamped in and about the tomb of the first king of Oudh. A lnr.no inclosure surrounded the building of the tomb itself, and on the inside of this were small rooms built for the accommodation of pilgrims. When I entered' the inclosure I noticed these apartments rind asked permission to sleep in one of them, but was refused. I had to make the best of myjposition, but was too uncomfortable to sleep.

Jt struck me that some of the se-

ovs might have dronned thoi

ankets in their hurried departure.

With this hrpe I went into one of the rooms where a lamp was burning, took it oil the shelf and walked to the door of the great domed mosque or tomb. I peered into the dark, but could

see nothing, so 1 advanced slowly, holding the lamp over my head, looking cautiously around until I was in the center of the great vault, where my progress was obstructed by a big black' heap about four or five feet high, which felt to my feet like loose sand. I lowered my lamp and discovered I was standing ankle deep in

! loose gunpowder. About forty hundredweight of it lay under my noäe, and a hasty glance around showed me twenty or thirty barrels of the Eame substance, over a hundred eight-inch shells, all loaded and with fuses fixed, and a profusion of spare fuses and slow matches lying about. X took in my danger at a glance. There 1 was, up to my knees nearly in gunpowder, with a naked light in my hand. My hair literally stood on end, and my knees knocked together. Cold nersniration broka

out all over mo. I hnd neither cloth nor handkerchief in my pocket with which to extinguish my light, and the next moment might be my last, for the overhanging wick already threatened to send the smoldering red top to my feet, with consequences too dreadful to contemplate. Quick as thought I put my left hand under the down dropping flame and, clasping it firmly, slowly turned to tho door. Fear so overcamo all other sen

sation that I felt no pain of tho burn until 1 was outside. Then it was sharp enough. I poured the oil from the lamp into my burned hand. Then I knelt down and thanked God. vi Next I staggered to Captnin Daw

son and told lnm. lie did not believe me and told me I had waked up from a dream. I showed him tho powder still sticking on my wot feet. He instantly roused the sleeping men and quenched every spark of fire on the premises.
