It represents what can be accomplished by a few ear nest, hard-working men under the leader ship of a preacher full of enthusiasm and inspiring optimism. When be first went to Omaha, years ago. Rev. Julius F. Schwarz determined that his congregation should have a new church. The fact that the mem bers numbered only 60 and the whole property of the corporation was about $5,000 troubled him not at all, and he began to build with as much faith as if he had the riches of Solomon. His plan was to gather everywhere, whenever he could, all the old but strong timbers, all the iron junk available for structural use. all the loose and irregular stone and all the generally discarded building materials that 4-ould be found in Omaha and from them to build a church. It was not to ie a mean and ugly house of worship, lint a well-equipped, well arranged, ample meeting place for bis people. He has now extended it to Include an ll-room bouse for his own family and the wholes property."' would have cost $30,000 If it had been built by contract. As built by Rev. Sir. Schwarz and his fellow laborers It Mill cost less than $25,000. The other XI 3.000 has been saved to his people br the perseverance, energy and in genuity of the pastor. The first charge that Mr. Schwarz took when he left the theological seminary was at Connersville. Ind. For six years he remained there and -was called to Omaha three years ago on a recommendation from one of his instructors in the theological school. At that time the First German Presbyterian was a small frame church. As soon as the new pastor cam he announced that the church was too small. To build a church -ith a membership of CO seemed out of the question to all but the pastor, lie thought be knew a way and he ei about it with almost no support. at tlrst, from the others. For a year he sought for a suitable location and finally purchased the lot the new church is on for $1,800. When he bought this tract the fund which he drew from amounted to $57. His first move was to sell the old church for $1,850. As soon as the lot was paid for he shouldered a spade, ami replacing bis ministerial dignity w;h a grim and effective energy be lsan to -dig. The first thing that a church needed was a foundation. He had no money, but he could make 'the foundation himself, and that -would be one step toward it. He asked for contributions frotri friends outside of Omaha and waited for his own people to contribute vol untarily. The dollars came slowly, but they came with sufficient steadi ness to assure him that he could make a few purchases for a start. While walking on the street one day h saw that In repairing the street the old curbs we're being taken up. "These are good blocks." said the pastor-builder, and he bargained with the contractor to take them off his hands. That stone went into the foundation. His next lot of material came when the wall that supported the yard of the old Rosewater residence was to be torn down Men hired by Mr. Schwarz did the work nri , brick and atone was taken out and nut ., ,,, -.i. uio ui ui congregation tribute two or tfireu days gathering material. The south steps from the old hich uu,u.Ub juwuncu auu inese maris basement, and after that the money will come in faster. In the meantime the minister is watching everywhere for anything that will make his church more commodious or his home more attractive. " 'The reason for my doing all this," said Rev. Mr. Schwarz, as he laid aside the tools with which he was helping the workmen, "is that I be lieve that right here Is the best field for work anions the Germans that there is In all the northwest. My life occupation Is missionary, work among my German people and '" the only reason why I want to stay here and put up this big church for my small congregation Is because from here I can reach so many Germans. ! was born an American, hut came from German parents and am thor oughly German in thought and feel ing.

Julius F. Schwarz. oegan to con- work with teams in table' school tfin t.oA on both sides of the church . , u huilding. The parsonage end was being added to from the stone that could be picked up around ""w ji mr sman expense and into suitable blocks. converted An opportunity, came to the builders when the driveway was constructed leading down to the Union station ou the north side. Here was bought 15,000 feet of lumber that had been used in scaffolding and a carload of fine red sandstone was purchased for $20. When, a few weeks later, a contractor offered Mr. Schwarz $70 for that ame carload of red stone because he needed it to fill a contract in a hurry, the minister gave up his material and added $50 clear to the fund. This was the only enterprise for profit that was entered into for the benefit of the cause, except a little deal in lead pipe which the minister had with a prominent, fraternal order. He bought ome old-lead -from the lodge for $1.50 and sold it for $15 to a junk dealer. All winter long he has been haunting the repair gangs about the streets, visiting stone yards and Junk heaps and adding to the pile of materials that is being made into a building by his men. One of his biggest and most profitable finds was a pair of Iron pillars in excellent condition which he bought from the street railway company for their price as old iron. The street railway com pany also furnished him with the most novel use of old material in the whole building, which is the making of rafters out of old steel rails. The rails are ' more than strong enough and were bought for the price of junk. The church, which consists of a basement -with a beautiful fireplace" and an auditorium -which will seat GOO. measures 44x73 feet. The roof extends back over the parsonage, making it a full three stories high, with one room'in the attic Th hnube oart is 24x50 feet ir ground dimensions and 11 fine rooms. On' the front of the church will be a tower which will be just as high and substantial as it can be made from what is left of the stone after the rest of the structure is finished. The plans for all of it were sketched by the Rev. Mr. Schwarz and made exact by an archi tect. There are no specifications in use. The plans are 'fol lowed not by get ting material to.fit them, but by con forming them as nearly as possible to material that can be cheaply bought The work went slowly, because Mr. Schwarz could not afford to put on a large force of men. His foreman. Fred Slather, is a German stone mason. The wages of the men are the one debt which Mr. Schwarz does not intend to neg lect and his men are paid every Saturday as if they were working for a wealthy contractor who had thousands to back his operations. To do this the builder has had to rely upon the kindness of his other creditors, who have helped the cause by not pressing their claims. That $6,000 that has already been put into the work was gathered mostly from the contributions of friends all over the country. Other pastors have taken up benefit collections, a friend in In diana sent $200, and the congregation has con tributed far beyond what might he expected from their means. Mr. Schwarz made a house-to-house campaign of four days down in Riley, Kan., and raised $200 in that way. One of the church trus tees, who declared when the project was begun that he would not do anything to aid it. has at-' ready given $100, and others have given $100 and $200 contributions. Churches have promised contributions that will probably average $25 each and several hundred dollars more is expected from that source. "If I just had $6,000 more I could finish it." says the minister, and he seems not to lack fa'th that the $6,000 will come as it is needed. Mr. Schwarz's unique undertaking has attract ed considerable attention and promises of finan cial assistance have come in from various parts of the country. These donations to 'a most wor thy cause are for the .most part in small amounts, but are none the less appreciated by the ener getic pastor and the encouragement -thus re ceived has had no little part in helping along the good work. Rev. Schwarz has announced that all outside-contributions will he gratefully , received and promptly acknowledged. ' ' The biggest addition to the fund that has come so far was the $2,500 got from selling the old parsonage, which the pastor advised as soon as he saw the possibility of making a home for himself as a part of the new building. It is be lieved that enough more can easily be raised to put on a rocT so that services can be held in the position makes it possible for me to reacn many who are in need of help and many who are stran gers and I want to stay here and- make my work effective in helping the Cennan citizens in this country." It is because of this sincere desire to be of help to his church that Mr. Schwarz has labored with his hands and brain to build the new church. It has arisen out of what seemed to be insurmount able difficulties. Not only the cornerstone, but every stone in it was once refused by the builders, but when it is finished there will be no fault found with its smooth, gray walls, its modern equipment and its generous dimensions. In connection with his pastoral and building work Rev. Mr. Schwarz devotes nine hours a week to teaching in the University of Omaha, where he has .charge of the German classes. He is also stated clerk of the presbytery of Omaha, and the. compensation received from this additional work he considers providential in that it helps to secure him sufficient salary to bring his work to a self-supporting basis. Rev. Schwarz' father was a practicing physician in Franklin county. Mo. He balled from Heidel berg, Baden, Germany. Rev. Schwarz was left an orphan at the age of 11 months. He was taken Into the home of a kind-hearted couple who had already raised eight children of their own. As a tribute to the memory of his. foster par ents and as a token of appreciation of the kind ness received at their bands, the church parsonage has been turned into a sort of a home for the friendless and a refuge for the destitute. Many have partaken of the parson's hospitality until work or other assistance had been offered. Should this sort of hospitality require more space, it Is possible that an old people's home may be estab lished after the financial obligations of the new church edifice have been met. overcome superstition: Is up with superstition that it, too. SCIENCE AND FAITH , Is it true that the greater the knowledge the less the religious interest? Are these two persons, the man whose zeal for religion is equaled by his bigotry and ignorance and the other in whom sci entific study has dwarfed spiritual sensibility, fair types by which to judge the relations of religion and knowledge? Is intelligence incompatible with real piety? Will the growth of knowledge bring about the dis solution of religion? Is the life of religious aspi rations and feelings out of-date-in a-scientific age such as we are constantly reminded V this' one' is ffWlAV? VrfATlro tina nVAlmtma mnAMtllnM. faith to bcund must sor We can be sure of one thing, at least; t?;t. no matter what our feelings, theories or ideais may be. we cannot turn our backs on the great world of fact as it is laid before us. The faith that fights facts is committing suicide. Appeals to our fears cannot to-day make the facts less real to us and we know that by them we will haveto stand or fall. If you stop to think about it, there is a striking significance in 'the fact that this question baa arisen. Is there a-religion for the intelligent,-educated, scientific mind? It suggests another ques tion: Can any other mind fully comprehend the riches and meaning of religion? The unthinking cling to customs, traditions and forms that are the vestiges of truth.( The trained mind distinguishes between the garments of truth and truth itself. Must Have Planned Ahead.

W - JPsV BMJlBsMa J- TWELVEr years ago, when Senator electwllliam O'Connell Bradley of Kentucky, was governor of that state, a youth who at 15 was carrying the editorial burden of a weekly newspa per in a country town in Illinois drift ed, into Frankfort on a bicycle trip. There wasn't much to see in Frank fort except the state capitol. so 4ie went up there. It was the young editor's first in spection of a state capitol, and his eyes were open -for everything. Naturally the sign "Governor's Of fice" interested him, and he quickly 'decided to call on the governor. He sent in his card and presently the .doorkeper returned and said: "The governor will see you." Then did the visitor really wish that his curiosity about the governor's office hadn't got the better of him. It would be manifestly improper to In trude on the governor's time with out some motive, and still the young editor couldn't think of any motive. On the way to the inner office he de cided to take the governor into his confidence and confess that there wasn't any cause for the visit, except a small matter of editorial courtesy. Prompted, no doubt, by that spirit that has made him the head of his party in the state and that enabled to Be Written Up him to win his fight for the senate against apparently overwhelming-odds. Gov. Bradley talked to the boy jour nalist for an hour, speaking most in terestingly on subjects that could not fail to interest even a youth that didn't have a news Instinct The governor described his early ex periences as a Republican In a Demo cratic hotbed, when to go to the polls and vote the Republican ticket was only one form of committing suicide. He told how at one period of his po litical activity it became necessary for all the Republicans of the town In which he lived to fortify themselves in a house and defend themselves against Democratic raiders who were thirsting for blood. There were so many of these stories that the hour had passed before either the governor or his visitor knew It and when the boy editor finally ex cused himself he carried away a pic ture bearing the governor's auto graph. When Gov. Bradley won his success ful fight before the Kentucky legisla ture a few weeks ago the editor, who had been reduced by lapse of time to just plain reporter, remembered these stories of the early days, and wrote the senator-elect asking the privilege of telling them to the whole country. Gov. Bradley's reply stamps him as a man who Is going to make himself disliked in Washington If he doesn't change his mind: "There Is nothing that is more dis tasteful to me than to talk about my self, and you must excuse me from en tering into an account ot my past ex perience as politician. I have never written it up, and never expect 'to." Pages in the Senate Mimic Big Men HT. y 4rQyY v- rql3bBBBW sbbbbbbbbb IT IS the custom for the senate pages to hold two or three mock senate sessions every winter. These sessions are held on afternoons when the sen ate is not sitting, and are conducted with all the solemnity and poise of a regular meeting. One day the youngsters were con ducting a mock trial of the Swayne im peachment case. "Billy" Annin was presiding. Another youngster was pos ing as Anthony HIggins, counsel for Judge Swayne, and was interrogating a witness. Senator Spooner of Wis consin, came into the senate chamber unexpectedly, and, seeing what was going on, took a sent near the entrance to the cloakroom. Presently an intricate parliamentary question arose, and half a dozen pages were on their feet asking for recogni tion. Mr. Spooner thought he might be able to clarify the question. Ac cordingly he approached his seat and called out: "Mr. President!" The irrepressible "Billy" was not taken back. "The chair will recognize the senator from Wisconsin." he said, as he brought down the gavel and nod ded to Mr. Spooner. The ease and poise of the youngster startled Senator Spooner, and it was nearly a minute before he could con trol his twinkling eyes. "Is It not out of order," he asked, "to permit so many senators to ad dress the chair at the same time?" "It is decidedly out of order," said the piping voice in the vice-president's chair. "The point made by the senator from Wisconsin is well taken. The senate will come to order." ' In the house of representatives there are 23 pages, and In the senate 16. According to the regulations, no page can be under 12 years or over 16 years of age. The position of senate page pays a salary of $75 a month when con gress Is in session, and, like all other employes of congress, these young sters receive an extra month's salary every year. Hobo in the' President's Private Car WJ em. HI f l TjBMSBBfa -r "flfWJ SPL- -"" -g ""sa'ss'BBB'Pfg!-- y A TRAMP got into President Taft's private car recently, and a very surprised tramp he must have been, for he was pounced upon by two of the most muscular Pullman porters be had ever seen and then arrested by Secret Service Officer Sloan. It was on the Federal express, run ning from Boston to Washington, on the rear end of which the president's private car Mayflower was coupled at New Haven. The tramp got on somewhere along the line. There were two day coaches ahead of the presidential car, and they were so crowded that they couldn't have looked healthy to the most op timistic of tramps. But there was a Pullman, and it looked nice and dark, and so the wanderer strolled in and hid himself. It was Letcher, one of the porters, who found the visitor crouched in a dark corner of the tiny kitchen. He made a dive for the man and got him In a clinch. Then he called his fel low porter, Anderson. The two of them had the tramp so scared that he could hardly see by the time the secret service men came in and put him under arrest. At Bridgeport the tramp was turned over to the police.' He tried to say that he was a brakeman on the New York, New Haven & Hartford road, but the trainmen knew better. Mr. Taft slept right through it and never knew a thing about It until the next morning.

It appears .that the negro was given ten days' leave and money to spend for a trip down to New Or leans, but in three days turned up again, and here is the-way Mr. Wither spoon explains the negro's return, quoting the servant: You see, suh, it done get mighty miserably cold night after I lef you, and I knows dat Miss Kate (my wife) ain't got no business tryin' to work dat furnace, and I know you ain't gwine to bother with it Nary one of you got enny business with a dirty old furnace, least ot all Miss Kate, who ain't got no right to soil her little han's.

"New York society." said Mr. Ford, "is really more exclusive now than that of London. In London last sea son an episode was narrated that illus trated well the breaking down of the old barriers. "'Society is going to the bow wows," grumbled a young marquis at a Piccadilly club. "'What's the matter now?' a friend inquired.
