"Do good nnto all men, especially unto
ttia household of faith" la what 8U Paul
wrote to the OflJatlana and waa used for
the text of the 8 inula r morning aermon
at the 8U Mary's Avenue Congregational
church by the pastor, Rev. Lucius O. Balrd.
"The household waa a very comprehen
sive word at that time, and at first glance
the term would seem to be unfortunate for
St. Paul to aay." aald Mr. Balrd. "It
seems narrow, a tinge of bigoted gospel.
Thin, however, on sober thought Is aeen
to be good gospel and good science. We
will consider it on principle, purpose and
application.
"The principle of advancement of society
la groups. Co-operatlon overcomes Individ
uallsm. The states of America have ar
rived at the proud position they occupy by
applying the law of groups. A group of
pilgrims haa spread and moulded a multi
tude. A choir to be effective must throw
aside Individualism, and not have a so
prano towering like a mast, the alto rumb
ling like the brakes of a trolley, but all
rouKt work In unison.
"We must have more solidarity In our
religious faith, must have more groups.
Congregationalism will be gone when the
kingdom of heaven comes. A group must
have leadership and not domination. It Is
no more bigoted to say your church Is the
best church than to say your home Is the
best home or your wife la the best wife.
Society haa never been advanced by float
ers. The kingdom of God Is not advanced
by those Christians which Bay they have
no church, but go rather where they think
they will hear the best music or the best
aermon."
LKCTVRK8 ON THIS AFOSTIB PAUL
Rev. H. C. Herrlck Delivers Flrat of
Series of Addresses.
Rev. H. C. Herring of the First Congre
gational church began Sunday night a
series of addresses upon the llTe and work
of the Apostle Paul, under the general
title of "The Most Influential Man In His
tory." While no special. elTort will be
made during the aeries tq prove the state
ment suggested In the title, a review of the
apostle's life, character and works will be
sufficient to show that Paul was one of
the greatest personalities of history, and
bis Influence pervades Christianity to this
day. Iast evening Dr. Herring took for hla
Initiatory subject, "The Background of the
Apostle's lAte."
He said In partt "No character more
completely Illustrated himself than did Paul
In the brief letters of his pen. His life
and habits, hla meditations and aspirations,
his plana and ambition, are reflected therein
aa the contour of the mountain range In
the clear waters of the lake which sleepa
at lta feet, and the man we know In those
letters, even In the years before the grace
of Christ had touched his heart, la an
altogether Interesting and unique personal
ity. Although a Roman citizen, reared
amid Greek surroundings, under the In
fluence doubtless of the Hebrew church,
ha set himself a pant from It all with the
energy of decision which always marked
his life and identified himself with the
atralghteat sect of the Pharisees. This
gives us a clue to the whole of hla pre
Christian life.
"Debating In the synagogue, battling
gainst the new formed Christian sect,
prosecuting Its adherents, urging on their
destruction, pushing his activity out Into
the provinces about, he Is the signal ex
ample of a conscience in the highest actlv
ity, but guided by an utter misconception
of duty.
'Xet ua turn back for a moment to catch
sight of the aurroundings which went Into
the making of his mobile and vital char
acter. In his native city. Tarsus, as a boy
he would see the vile worship of the ori
ental goda In fullest sway. In those daya
the comparative dignity of soma of the
ancient cults had broken down, and re
ligion waa another name for the Indulgence
Of the grossest pamlons. How easy to be
lieve, from the alght and aound of thtse
things, the boy caught the ethical life
which burned again and again In whitest
flame, to him who, from the ground of evil
ethics, had seen what human nature will
do with lta holiest power and possibilities.
It waa useless to talk of the unaided ability
of man to effect his moral transformation.
Henceforth he knew the world aa dead In
trespasses and Bin."
The next of the series of the addresses
by Dr. Herring on the life and character
of Paul will ba given Sunday, January 20,
and will relate to Paul'a journey to Da
mascus and the appearance of Christ to
him upon the road, and the meaning of the
vent.
DEAW FORDYCB TALKS TO BOYS
Tells Them of Beaaty and Strength
of Yoang Manhood.
Dean Fordyce of Nebraska Wesleyan uni
versity at Lincoln, gave a helpful talk to
150 of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion boys at the First Presbyterian church
yesterday afternoon. Taking the Itltle
story of the prodigal sun as a text, he
told the boya of the evils that a snail the
life of youth and warned them In a plain,
atralghtforward manner of the awful re
sults, physical and mental, which will re
sult from Indulgence In the great moral
Bins. The subject of the talk waa "The
Beauty and Strength of Young Manhood."
' "The moat beautiful thing Ood haa cre
ated la a strong, manly boy," said the
speaker. "But Satan is constantly trying
to lead boya away from the straight way.
The prodigal son, apoken of In the Bible,
Is an example of this. Boya of today who
follow In the footsteps of that unhappy
youth will come to Just aa sure an un
happy end. Boya get dissatisfied with their
homes and imagine that there are better
things elsewhere, and they go away. Then
they nn4 that they have left what Is best
In their Ufa.
"The way to gut back to the narrow way
after wandering, la to do like the prodigal
son did when ha cam to hla senses, atop
ad think. Ths next , Is to make up the
mind and the third Is to return. The last
Is not bo easy to Jo, but It la bound to
end happily, aa It did in tire case of the
prodigal son.
"Out In the world away from the pro
tecting influences of home, vices are sure
to take possession of a boy's life unless
ba 1 on the constant lookout agalnat them.
And they are apt to assail him from a
quarter where he does not expect to find
them. Borne of these vices are the most
awful In the world and Indulgence In them

WILD WEST LOVER CUT SHORT
Thirteen-Year-Old Boy Invests Sav-
lags In Revolver and
Loads la Jail.
The desire to own a revolver that would
hoot real bullets waa for several week
the uppermost thing In the mind of Philip
Hartfelder, aged about 13 years and liv
ing at seventh and Hickory streets; He Is
still In short pants and very much of a
little boy, but to carry a heavy "gun" In
his right hip pocket would .make him feel
like the biggest man in the world. Hla
people wouldn't give him one for Christ
mas, thinking a toy wagon more appro
priate for one of his years, so Philip began
to save and scratch until he had 12.60.
With this amount In hla Docket he went
down town, and had no trouble In aecurlng
a little twenty-two calibre revolver with
a box of cartridges. He bought the gun
oaiuraay ana at nrst was satisfied with
playing wild west desperado with Imaginary
people as tne victims, but this soon grew
too tame.
Prowling around Sundav afternoon in th
neighborhood of the Mason trail where It
strikes Tinth street, conjuring up all sorts
or tr.mgs he might do, burked by his
trusty pistol, he ran afoul of a little col
ored bov about his own ava nnA -u li,. tn,A
him like a quarrelsome cowboy after a
tenderfoot. The colored lad showed nht
at first and started for the adventurer.
when the latter's hand flew Instinctively
to his hip pocket and a gun auddenly gilt,
tered In the sun. pointed at the heart nf
the dark-skinned boy.
'Throw up your hands, vou. flee, mn'n
peachy to play Indian with," said the brave
young hero, when a citizen In ordinary
atore clothea who hadn't the slightest re
gard for the dangerous boy bandit nor his
gun, butted In Just aa Philip waa threaten
ing to ahoot holea In his victim's body.
(suddenly remembering an Identical tin.
dicament In No. 225 of the Wild mil
les. young Hartfelder wheeled In his tracks
ana tacea tne new danger. Pointing his
gun at the buttlnsky he threatened to ahnnt
him also, but the man took him by one ear
and the career of Fearless Philip was at
an end. He waa taken to Jail by a police
man, charged with carrying concealed
weapons and the Juvenile officers will aee

GUEST ENTERS WRONG ROOM
Finds None of Hla Belongings There
and Immediately Reports Ho
Has Been Robbed.
It la alwaya a wise precaution, when
taklnr room In a strange hotel, to note
not only the location of one'a room on the
floor, but also the number of the floor.
For many reasons It Is obviously and
clearly a good plan to note Just where the
room la, both a to latitude and longitude,
aa well aa elevation, and after an experi
ence at the Henshaw hotel Sunday night
guest of that hostelry Is convinced of the
fact most thoroughly.
His name Is a matter of small Importance
and can be furnished by the clerk at the
desk 1 It Is wanted real bad. This man
was assigned a room on .the aecond floor
at the extreme rear, and went upstairs
early. Presently he left hla room, remain
ing out for aome time. Returning about
o'clock, he went up the stairs to where,
as he supposed, waa his room. The hall
ways were the same and In the right place
was the door. Entering, he was thrown
Into consternation to And the window open
and every article be owned missing from
the room.
Hastening down to the office, he reported
the case to Proprietor O'Brien. AU waa
excitement In a moment Bo daring a
piece of work must be Investigated thor
oughly, and the greatly worried landlord
hurried up stairs to hla guest s room, flung
open the .door and found everything ap
parently Just aa It should be. There waa
the grip, ault case and articles of clothing,
while tha window waa closed.
The' guest followed him In and stood
perplexed. There was all hla property
safe and as ha had left It. Then tha two
walked up to tha third floor and opened
the door of the room directly over the one
where they had been on tha aecond. and
both laughed In relief. It waa empty and
tha window waa open. Tha strange guest
had gone a story too high.

There la an air of superiority !n "The
Gingerbread Man," presented twice yes
terday at the Boyd theater, that stamps
the production as something worth while
In fact, something more than worth
while. It is really an artistic "fanciful
falryesque," as the program announces.
There Is musical hit after musical hit,
fairyland ecenea of childhood's happy
daya Illustrated with the aid of modern
stagecraft, mythical characters exploited
In a manner that arouses the risibilities
and smooths out the furrows of care and
catchy witticisms and young and bright
faces mingled with a symposium of good
things to make the whole an enchanting
entertainment. "The Gingerbread Man"
Is good enough to eat, at least, the "choc
late eclairs" are.
The piece waa offered here last aeason.
but at present writing la as fresh and cap
tivating as If Just released from the Land
of Bon Bon. The principals are the same
seen In the front row last season and the
choruses are strong in voice and of ful
some figure and face.
Eddie Redway'a abbreviated stature and
elongated "naw" cover much ground dur
ing the time alloted to him as "The Gin
gerbread Man." In his topical hit "John
Dough," with chorus, he waa recalled five
times at one of yesterday's performances.
and with MIbs Lynch in "Nursery Rhynna,"
naa to respond time and again.
W. H. Mack as Wondrous Wise, Ross
Snow aa the Good Fairy, Ben Grlnnell as
King Bunn and Willie Dunlay aa Simple
Simon collaborated with Mr. Redway In
the fun-making delineations. Homer Lind
as Machavallus Fudge, dealer In black art,
has a splendid operatic voice. His "Queen
of My Dreams," with male chorua. Is one
of the hits of the piece. Ross Snow's bur
lesque aa the Good Fairy la cleverly done.
Imagine an angular, six-footed creature of
the male persuasion. In pink tights above
the knees and a flounce around his waist,
carrying a wand and the key to fairyland.
Mr. Snow says It Is great to be a fairv.
Mae Phelps as Jack Horner. Grace Orr
Myera aa Mazle Bon Bon and Nellie Lynch
as Margery Daw are pleasing in their
respective roles.
The atory of "The Gingerbread Man" Is
a simple little fairyland tale of love. Tha
performance will be repeated this and
Tuesday evenings.
"Lord and Lady Algy" at Bnrwood.
Comedy of a very light character la pre
sented this week at the Burwood in the
three-act play, "Lord and Lady Algy." I
There are no heavy problems to vex the
minds of the audience and no very serloua
aoul crlsea to tax the abilities of the cast
The humor la not at all subtle and consists
principally In complicated situations and
the babbling of a drunken'lord at a fancy
dress balL "Hingllsh" slang of the race
track permeates the llnea and the listener
of a studious turn of mind can get both
amusement and Instruction, turning It Into
the strong and forceful language of the
American turf.
The plot ranges around the troubles of
Lord Algernon Chetland and hla wife, who
have quarreled over the merits of Turkish
and Egyptian cigarettea and two rival
racing stables. They are living apart, and
the situation laya Lord Algernon open to
suspicion aa to his conduct with other
membera of the eex. At the opening of the
play he is Induced unwittingly to assist
his brother, the marquis of Quarmby, who
stands before the world aa an eminently
respectable and discrete man. In a proposed
elopement with a married woman. The
affair cornea within an ace of being dis
covered, and naturally Lord Algy la sus
pected of being the guilty man. He shields
hla brother and hla estranged wife appears
on the acene Just In time to give a plausi
ble explanation to the whole affair, and It
la closed up with everybody happy and the
guilty pair repentant and still unsuspected.
Lord and Lady Algy discover the true In
wardness of their souls, she consents to
smoke Turkish cigarettes with him and he
acknowledges her superior horse sense.
She takes off her hat and decides to atay,
and the curtain goea down on a reunited
family.
Albert Morrison goea well In the part of
the sporty Lord Algy and he doea an un
usually large amount of work In the three
acta. Mlsa Adams la at her beat in the
part of the light-minded, breezy Lady Algy.
David M. Hartford fills well the place of
the eminently respectable marquis of
Quarmby and Charles Schoefleld la right In
hla element aa the wronged and duped hus
band, Brabazon Tudway, Mlsa 11111 also
haa a prominent part in the cast aa Mrs.
Tudway. The support la of a high claaa
and the ataglng of the play is excellent.
Vaadevlllo at the Orphean.
A little bit of everything except lnetru
mental muslo and song and dance la In the
bill at the Orpheum thla week. It la mostly
good comedy, though Patrice and her com
pany are offering a little sketch of western
life built along lines that are so popular
nowadays A waif la raised to womanhood
by a rough old miner. A rich young man
falla in love with her, and at the psycholog
ical moment ahe la discovered to be the
daughter of a family aa good aa anybody's,
It la in the working out. though, that the
little sketch glistens, and the star and her
asslstanta do It well enough to secure warm
applause. Nick Long and Adalene Cotton
have a sketch that enablea each to appear
In more than one character, and make a
little good-natured comedy aa well as pre
senting several Interesting atudiea. Miaa
Cotton bears the brunt of the work and
doea' It with finish. Mr. and Mrs. Allison
present their sketch of last aeaaon, "Min
nie from Minnesota." and It still gets the
laughter. Anna Chandler Imitates some
well, known singers and comedians and alnga
tha songs aa well aa one would wish to hear
them. Shields and Rogers are xparta with
tha lariat, and do things with their noosed
ropes that seem out of reason. They have
all the trlcka of rope Jugglers heretofore
shown and several new ones. The act waa
warmly applauded last night. The four
Rlanoa have the laughing hit of the bill, a
mixture of athletic and comedy that Is
unique and effective- The Arabs do their
whirlwind tumbling tn tha same old dizzy
fashion and their pyramid building with
much ease and grace. The klnodrome pic
tures are pleasing.

CITY BUT A CLUSTER OF HOUSES THEN
Young Man Comes when Haaaeom
Park Is Full of Indians aad
. Opened Offices at Eigh
teenth and Farnam.
Juat fifty years ago yesterday, the anow
falling and the wind blowing keen from the
Nebraska prairies, W. A. Paxton crossed
the Missouri and set foot for the first time
on the soil of the state which waa to be
his home for life. A ferry boat took him
acroea the river at Bellevue, the oldest
town in the state, and landed him nn a
shore which would have been beautiful
had it not been for the wintry aspect of
the landscape.
He came by wagon the same day to
Omaha, which consisted of a few houses
along what Is now Farnam street, and
situated not far back from the river. The
present site of the court house waa the
western suburban limit. Beyond were hills
and hollows, prairies and Indiana. In the
wood which haa alnce become Hanscom
park was a village of thirty-flve lodges
of Pawnee Indiana. They were friendly,
though, and the whltea had very little
trouble srtth, them.
The cgudtl frontier appearance of the
town and the thought of Indians and wild
erness beyond might have caused momenta
of homesickness in the heart of the young
man, who waa then not quite 20 years of
age, and who bad lived twelve years of hla
life in beautiful Kentucky, and the other
eight in Missouri. If he waa homesick it
waa but for a little while at a time, for
hla mind waa chiefly occupied by his ambi
tion to succeed in tha new country.
Mr. Paxton waa aent to Omaha by M. J.
Ragan, who had secured a contract for
building government bridges on the mili
tary road between Omaha and Fort Kear
ney and who selected Mr. Paxton as fore
man. ': He had been in charge of Mr.
Ragan'a farm in Missouri for four years,
at the handsome salary of UU0 a year.
First Office la Omaha.
At Eighteenth and Farnam streets, be
yond the edge of the town proper, Mr.
Paxton rented four small offices In a group
of ahantlea, paying t-M a month. Theae
ahanttea were at the crest of a big hill,

ably, and the winds from the northwest
had a clean sweep at them. The hillside
waa covered with hazel bushes and the
hollow to the west, where Twentieth street
is, waa full of brush. On thla hilltop Mr.
Paxton opened hla bridge building head
quartera and set to work. Before the end
of the year he had built bridges across
North Omaha creek. Saddle creek, tha two
Papplos and the Klkhorn river. Then he
kept on, bridging every stream on tho road
to Kearney.
Times were bad in those days and there
waa little chance In the new country for
a man without capital, so in 1858, when the
bridge work was finished, Mr. Paxton went
back to- Missouri and went to farming.
He was married in 18. He could not for
get Omaha and Nebraska, and after two
years of farming, with Indifferent success,
he came back to Omaha, leaving his wife
with her parents for a time.
He worked for a while freighting between
Omaha and Denver and did some sub
contracting on the Western I'nlon tele
graph line, which Edward Crelghton was
building. He went back to Missouri for
another year of farming, and in lfet3 he
landed In Omaha for tha third time, thla
time with his wife, lie had $136 In money.
He worked aome time In a livery atable
at o0 a month. The foundation of his for
tune waa laid when he bought an ox team
from Edward Crelghton for 11.060 op four
months' time and began freighting and
