Dear Folks: In these days of the high cost of Itving perhaps you are often in doubt how some folks eke out their existence, #0 I'll tell you ‘What I have found out. The motorman “brakes” about even—the conductor is doing “fare’—the carpenter says it ts always his “rule” to try and be the square.” The baker just “loafs” around daily—that's why he is “kneading the dough"—the plumber 1s busy “hitting the pipe,” the dreas- maker does “sew-sew.” The cobbler, I fear, will not “inst” long for he’s lost his little “awi"; the man in the livery stable can give you an “awful stall.” The burglar is “taking things easy"—the doctor “takes life easy” too—whenever the cook is given a “roast” she gets in a terrible “stew.” The judge always does @ “fine” business, the Policeman must “pinch” day and night; the detective is worn to a “shadow,” the stenographer’s doing all “write.” Timen are “picking up” for the junkmas:, th “reel” well; the watchmaker always wor Prisoner life is a “cell.” The butcher tries hard to make ends “meat,” the bill poster just “sticks around”; the barber juat “scrapes” along daily, but he ts some “cut-up” I've found, The chauffeur will soon be “retiring,” things are comt foeman's “weigh”; the undertaker finds business “dead, dentist has “pull,” go they say.

Let us quote from several eminent evolutionista. E. D. Cops, a universally acknowl edged authority on the subject, says “Evolution may be defined as the teaching which holds that creation has been, and is, accomplished by the energies which are intrinsic tn evolution, without the Interference of agenctes which are external to it.” Haeckel mays: ‘The best definition of evolution ts the non-miraculous origin and progress of the universe.” Other authorities could be quoted but this should be sufficient to prove our cane. Where tn thene definitions do you find room for God? Lat our critic answer. There is ® class of evolutionists known as supernaturaliste who nd: mit God into the universe but only for the purpose of creating the orig!- nal elements. Ho created, #o they assert, the electrons and the first spark of life and set them tn motion, but since that time haw had nothing to 4o with the universe, This does away with the necessity of explain ing how life and matter came into existence, a task which the natural tet has not eucceeded very well in doing. Tet me ask “An Amused Reader” how many of the scientists to whom we are indebted for the theory admitted God into their schemes? Did Huxley? Did Dar. win, Spencer or Haeckel? Emphatt cally not. I would like to inquire what NMtorature on the subject our friend han been reading. Surely not from the masters. Our eritic has fallen Into the usual error of confusing growth and de- velopment with evolution.

I was recently in Salt Lake City and had a little laundry work done by the Troy laundry of that city, and was surprised to find that the laundry prices in Salt Lake re from a third to 60 per cent lower than the prices charged in Seattle, particularly on coliars and shirts, | I can see no reason why the laun- Gries here should charge 4% cents for laundering a collar while the jaunéries of Salt Lake can apparently |make @ reasonable profit at 3 cents | per collar, and other things in pro- | portion.
