As The Reporter Heard The
Sermon.
Recently the baseball editor
of a metropolitan newspaper was
sent to report the sermon ol a
new minister, as the religious
editor was ill. This is the copy
he turned in:
“Quite a bunch was present
last Sunday evening at the
church owing to the presence
of a new star and the box of
boosters was anxious for a line
on his work. Rev.-is cer_
tainly there with the goods and
performed to the satisfaction ot
all present. Owing to the fact
that this was his first appear
ance on the local grounds, he
was a little nervous the first
inning. Encouraged by the
coachers in the ‘Amen corner,
he let himself loose and had the
game well in hand from then on
, His new Jerusalem slow ball

Raphsody On Sausage.
A friend has sent us some
country sausage. It is a poem
It is as delicious as a dream. II
is the work of the divine affiatus,
blending the flavor of the wild
nuts with the fragrance of the j
woodsy soil. It is not a mere
fixture of this and that: it is a
harmony of loves and longings.
Food is not half material. It is 1
not a little bit of flour, of sugar, 1
of lard, of egg—it is the sp;rit j
that builds them into a harmony.
When Cod made the rainbow
He didn’t put in a bit of green,
of red, of yellow, etc.; no, he
blended the colors together with
the song of the stars and made a
symphony out of them that out
metered anything the old mast
ars ever writ.
j
It is the spirit that goes into
the food that makes it. If that
, is evil the food is evil; if it is
| good, the food is good. Old
i Parhassius couldn’t paint a dy
j ing groan, but he could put it in
a pudding and make it taste
Most of the bad food we get
tastes of the ignorance of the i
norance and bad temper of the
cook. Half the difference be
tween barbarism and civilization
is found in the kitchen. As a
man thinketh in his heart, so he
is—so are his pies, his salads
and his hash.
The greatest arena of art in
the world is the kitchen. There j
is where the highest aesthetic
qualities get in their work
Young ladies will learn painting
and music and French and get
a taste of the ethereal sweetness
of things, but neglect the kitch
en, which is the source and em-1
bodiment of all the graces and
joys of life; not so much in the
eating, but in that delicate bal
ancing of flavors are the rythm
of life that makes one feel sure
the gate to Paradise has been
left ajar, through which its
sweet odors had floated off. But
the sausage. Well, all we have
said is a part of the dream.—

Washington, !>• C., Dec- 6.—
Postmaster General Burleson

Smith had been ordered early in
the week. Congressman Otis
T. Wingo of DeQueen, Aran
sas, has been quietly at work
for several months investigat
ing charges against Postmaster
Smith’s manner of handling the
Van Buren postoffice. After
considerable effort Postmaster
General Burleson finally called
for the resignation. The order
was made public today, although
it is understood the action of
the postmaster general was tak
en early in the week.
Judge Harry G. Pernot un
doubtedly will be named to suc

it is rumored that an influential
member of President Wilson’s
cabinet is making an effort to
have a relative of his appoint
ed- Congressman Wingo, how
ever, is insisting upon the ap
pointment of Judge Pernot. In
a statement issued today, Mr.
Wingo said: “Judge Pernot
will be postmaster at Van Bu

He refused to comment upor
the removal of Postmaster
Smith in no way reflecting upor

The Statement of This Searcy
Resident Will Interest Our
Readers.
A T,. Phillips, W- Race street,
Searcy, Arkansas says: “For
many years T was afflicted with
kidney trouble. T had a dull pain
in the small of my back and of
ten during the day dizzy spells
came over me. The kidney se
cretions contained sediment and
their irregularity in passage an
noyed me. It was hard to get
out of bed in the morning, due to
backache. Doan’s Kidney Pills £
did me a world of good.”
Price, 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney reme
dy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —
the same that Mr. Phillips used.
