Omaha's "Climbing Pastor' '
Scales Mountain 44 Times
in t I
VP
Dr. Joseph B. Cherry
Colorado Springs, Colo., July 25.
Presenting Dr. Joseph B. Cherry
of Omaha, the climbing paston.
Dr. Cherry believes in elevatme
the body as well as the soul.
The Omaha pastor has a recipe
for saving doctor bills which he has
practiced successfully on himself.
He has one for saving souls which
he uses on "sinners."
For the 44th time Dr. Cherry has
stood on the summit of Pike's Peak
and looked eastward to the Kansas
line, or somewhere near. He has
made the walk over 15 different
routes, which means considerable to
anyone who has attempted to walk
to the top of the mountain on the
regular trail.
Walks Down Trail.
Always Dr. Cherry walks down
the trail, which is something few
persons who walk up the trail do at
least with anticipations of pleasure.
Something which Dr. Cherry does
not do is to go to bed with a grouch
on the following day.
The Omaha man has climbed to
the summit of Pike's Peak six dif
ferent times in seven days, which is
record. He has reached the top
over routes said by mountaineers to
e impassable, which is another rec
ord. He has never had his picture
taken in action until today, which is
still another record for tourists and
modesty. .
When Dr. Cherry made his first
trip to the summit he thought he
Bold Bandits and Brave Sheriff
Bloodhounds Take Up the Trail, But the Trail
They Follow Leads Only to Frightened Assist
ant of the Village Smithy.
Carroll, la., July 25. (Special.)
Exciting things do happen in Carroll.
A night or so ago Bernard Tanter,
a gay village Lothario, chose to, take
his maiden fair riding in his car.
They were busily discussing
Froid's theory of psycho analysis or
the moon or some other interesting
subject when a lone and heavily
armed bandit interrupted them.
He stepped from a nearby corn
field and, being original, ordered
-them to "Stick 'em up."
Bernard might have stopped the
car, engaged the bandit in mortal
combat and have won a smile from
the maiden fair. But he didn't. He
"stepped on the gas," to use the vul
gar expression, and "burned up the
road toward home.
Sheriff in Pajamas.
His first stop was the home of
Sheriff H. V. Janssen. Sheriff
Janssen, in his pajamas, listened to
Bernard's tale of the thrilling en
counter and escape. He summoned
Deputy Sheriffs Langfeld, Glen
Weeks and'Tony Manneman. Armed
to the eyebrows they started out in
Bernard's car to find the bandit.
"Bring on all your bandits, we'll
show 'em," boasted a member of the
party as they rolled slowly on.
Into the Cornfield.
At this moment stepped forth the
bandit, his rifle leveled. One of the
deputies opened fire. The bandit re
plied with a single shot, dropped his
gun and disappeared again in the
cornfield.
The sheriff and his deputies were
all eager to follow the bold high
wayman, of course, but Bernard, who
was at the wheel, accidentally
"stepped on her again" and a few
minutes later the party roared back
into Carroll.
But the efficient sheriff was un
daunted. He telegraphed to Water
loo for a bloodhound, and blocked
off the road that the bandit's scent
might not be lost.
Woof, Woof, Bays Hound.
The bloodhound arrived, and with
a deep bay started the chase. The,
sheriff and deputies, carrying large
quantities of ammunition, followed.
Strange to say the bloodhound led
them directly into Carroll. Stranger
still, he led them directly to the door

spected assistant to the village j

was going to die, which was nothing
unusual. He was out here upon the
advice of Oman physicians, who told
him he bad but six months to live.
That was ill 1905. The first 10 days
of his stay in Colorado Springs he
walked 150 miles and climbed 35,000
feet. He caught the "whooping
cough and for three weeks took his
exercise leaning over the back rac
ing on the back porch. When he got
through "whooping," his pastorate
flock back in Nebraska was clambor-
ing for him and he had to return.
Always Takes Time.
Although the climbing pastor is 63
years old, he declares a trip up Pike's
Peak is just like a visit to the
women's missionary society maybe
not so tiresome. He has rever made
any attempt to break time records,
He takes his time, eats his lunch,
drinks at all the mountain streams
and enjoys the scenic splendor of a
mountain trip.
Although Dr. Cherry has climbed
the peak more times than any man
in the world, he is out for greater
gains. At present he is gaming in
flesh about as fast as he is in climbs,
which may mean that the day will
come when Dr. Cherry will have
about as much chance getting to the
top of Pike's Peak on foot as Irvin
Cobb, or "Fatty" Arbuckle,
In his last climb Saturday he won
a race to the peak from four younger
men.
despair. Brown proved beyond doubt
he had been elsewhere when the at
tempted holdup occurred. The blood
hound was given transportation back
to Waterloo.
Only Two Boys.
Officially the story has ended. But
they do say down in Carroll that
Sheriff Janssen was called into con
ference by a priest; that he listened,
with the good father, to the confes
sion of two very frightened youths
of 16, who have no aspirations what
ever to become holdup men, and who
simply wanted to "scare somebody."
No arrests have been made. The
sheriff doesn't deny a conference
with the priest was held. He is in
possession of a single shot .22-cali-ber

able experience with Tanlac.
"My trouble began 15 years ago
and up until the time I began taking
Tanlac I was a confirmed dyspeptic
and lived on a light diet all the time.
It made little difference, however,
what I ate, as everything disagreed
with me. I was too nervous to sleep
and would get up in the morning
tired and worn-out and had a dull,
listless feeling all day long.
"Tanlac straightened me right up.
After I had been taking it a few days
I was eating things I hadnt dared
to eat before in years. Everything
tastes good to me now and I have
picked up several pounds in weight
too. I have taken on new life and

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Don't Misjudge.
Dear Miss Fairfax: This summer
I met a young man who learned to
love nie, he says, and has asked me
to marry him. X am fond ot him,
but doubt the sincerity of his dec
laration of love for this reason: I
am a young lady with a profession
and this young man, not being in
any position to marry me and offer
me as much as I now enjoy of the
pood things of life, has told me to
Ko my way and If I can find anyone
who can offer me In marriage more
than he can, I must hot consider
him or his feelings If I part with
him. Can he, Miss Fairfax, I Im
plore you, really and truly, love me
and let me slip out of his life with
out . even a thought of conquest
against the someone, who can offer
me more, or may his love he so un
selfish as to give me up willingly to
someone who can provide more
amply for me than he.
PERPLEXED.
The solution of this attitude seems
to lie in tho man's pride, his un
selfishness and a certain weakness.
Of course you'd admire him more
were he - to fight for the love he
wants and to struggle to get ahead
in the world so as to deserve It. But
you must not misjudge his unselfish
ness and his wish to see you have
more than he can give. Perhaps he
feels that if you really care, you will
wait. Perhaps he has a masculine
jealousy of your success. Be large-
minded about the thing and try not
to judge entirely from your side of
the question.
Better Walt.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am soon to
be 18, and feel a great affection for
a certain girl, two years younger
than I. In fact, we love each other.
Now. I am a graduate from a high
school and wish io work my way
through a five or six-year course in
college. My friend Is especially
talented for music, and she desires
that we both pursue our own fields
for the next five or six years, after
which time we should get married
Now. I do not try to hide this friend
ship from my parents, who object
very strongly. This girl Is slightly
lame, due to an accident In her early
life, and Is not a very strong girl.
I've tried to see If I could dislike
her, but' I couldn't. Besides, my
parents say that if I wish to go
through a six-year college course I
must forget about any girl, other
wise time and money will be wasted,
for I shall not be able to complete
the course. PERPLEXED.
My dear lad, you are a child and
the girl you talk of marrying is far
too young to be choosing her life's
partner. If only you had been two
sensible young things and hadn't
talked of romance and lived ro
mance, you might manage to be
friends and enjoy each other's com
pany now and then. But In six
years you may develop along lines
altogether different from those of
ner growth and you may have little
or nothing in common. Don't in
dulge In any heart-breaking "fare
wells" and don't bind each other
v,-ith pledges, but try to bring things
down to a less hectic basis.

Representing
W. S. Rice

Our expert, Mr. J. B. Wei
don, will be at the Rome
Hotel, Omaha, Neb., after
noon and evening, July 27,
and all day July 28, 29 and
30. Every ruptured man,
woman and child should take
advantage of this opportunity.
The Rice Method for rup
ture is known the whole
world over. You can now see
this Method demonstrated
and have a Rice Appliance
fitted to you. Absolutely no
charge unless you are satisfied
to keep the outfit after having
the Appliance adjusted and
you see how perfectly and
comfortably it holds. No
harsh, deep-pressing springs;
nothing to gouge the flesh and
make you sore. Can be worn
night and day with positive
comfort. Soft, rubber-like
composition pad, any degree
of pressure required.
Don't wear a truss all your

truss-wearing forever? Any
way it will cost you nothing to
