The Tile Manufacturer, School Teacher, Doctor, Min­ ister and Divine Healer, Airs Himself Through the Leaves of Healing, in an Article Under the Heading: LIES OF COUNTRY PAPERS NAILED DOWN He Attacks the Herald Because of Its Caustic Account of the Meeting of the Dowieites Here Last February. TNeCMckemKnowa GoodTMiiy. A curious spectacle is aHorded trav­ elers on the Monon every day at Mo­ tion, Ind„ the junction of the main line and the Indiauapolis division. There two of the through trains, car 1 tying diners, meet, and the dining care are- set out. The cooks clean up their kitchens, throwing the refuse overboard, and the chickens in the -neighborhood are wont to cqme there and reed upon the scraps. It is- said that there is not a fowl within half a mile that has not come to recognize the whistles of the engines, pulling the passenger trains, and when -jAy are sounded for the station it is the; signal for the chickens to come run­ ning, flying o/er fences alid. hustling pellmell to get on the grounds for the feast. ..

But the Pro feasor enme to our office got the num ber of the sample and.then went |o Xenia and placed the order with a printer of that place, clcnriy proving that ho would not give us a bit of work if he could possibly help it, and that his stories of last winter about wanting, to give us the work Were only told with the view of getting hie articles in print. / We have given him considerable space in our paper, iu fact more than to any churchin the village, and are willing to devote a little more to him and liis work. - Hfejlaims to be-a member Of the only orthodox church and that they are folhwere of Christ who belong to that church. II that be true, the less of such religion we have the better; for a religion which allows the prac. tice of such deception and abuse can bring only ruin to the world. Last week’s ‘‘Leaves of Healing!’ comes out with an nrticle, beaded, “Lies of Country Newspapers Nailed Down,” concerning our write-up of the services conducted by Rev. A. F. Fence. Bui under that heading the only criticism is that it is “an illogical and badly spelled editorial,” and in uo way trying to deny its truth. The “Leaves of Healing” and the sect which it represents, are bo ac­ customed to apply, abusive epithets to those whom they attack, that they use them without proof .or reason. Prof, Sayre in his services and articles lias been unsparing in his use of vile epithets against the churches, minis­ ters and best people of this -town. tosay anything derogatory of any our "citizens, yet there is a point beyond which forbearance censes to be a vir­ tue, luui although the . editor feels many times that lie is beyond this point, it is Seldom he is so far -beyond' hb to feel justified in giving- one a real gcod •'roasting.” But when the epithetsof “liar” and “stinkpot,” are applied indiscriminately to our citi­ zens, we feel that it is our duty to cometo their defense, and show that ■tWe who apply.such epithets deserve tohave them applied to themselves. One day laat winter Prof. J . H. Sayre came into our'office and asked if we could print some hand bills- to advertise a meeting iu the Opera House, to be conducted by some of Bowie’s followers. Being in the printing business We told them that we could. He then said that he would have ,us get them out in a week or two, and a t the same time pulled an article from his pocket- which he -wished us to print iu the Herald. Of course, we consented to do so. The next week he came in with another notice and another promise for the job of printing the bills as soon as the copy came from Chicago. ' A t least four or five times did lie enter our office with a notice and a promise that we wonliHvithout doubt get the work. Finally the bills came from*Chicago and the Professor came to us with the excuse that the head managers of his religion had had them printed in Chicago without his knowledge. Of course the job was a small one and the losing it bothered us very little, but what we are trying to .kick ourselves for, is that we swallowed nil the lies j And, yet, ouly last week he asked for which the learned gentlemen with the signatures of these same people tlbk tongue and placid countenance | whom he has abused, to a paper stat- fold'us. But if we ever credited him fog that he was a man of moral char- with lieing a truthful man that delu- tcter. . wiint excites our amazement wST f°r eV<;'r l0St 17 h,S *Ct,°U th" is that he wants a recommendation As a competitor for printing the (endorsed by “ liars, “stinkpots' and cjrameitcement invitations, we sent ^ apostates.” A scheme has been suggested for advertising the Pan-American Ex­ position.

His poetry about “Spring*! seemed to make a jjreat hit around thHt country, but it feouldidt amount to shucks if written today. He came the nearest, however fill­ ing the bill when' it came to writing Stuff that nobody could understand of anybody prior to the days of Robt, Browning, This is merely our persona! opinion, hence doesn’t cut much ice, but we think that hull the folk* who rave over Homer don’t know poetry from string beans. He was n shiftless oUsa and put iu his time inventing things for posterity to read. Posterity didn’t know it in time and bus to take its medicine. About all that we Itavo been able /to find that Homer ever did was to write books for our colleges where boys go to learn foothill, smoke cigarettes and acquire long hair, What a world of trouble it would have’Saved if every­ thing lie had ever written hud been thrown into the waste basket. could pot find room for the “Iliad.” Homer was disappointed, but not crushed. You can’t crush a poet. Borne folks would,like to, but it can’t be doue. So be laughed a hoarse laugh. He said, “Ha, ha. I know what I will do.” He should have said “shall.” “I will write for posterity.” And posterity has been trying ever since to find out what he meant, Therefore, when you make up your mind to write poetry, don’t.

I t wouldn’t be given space in the papers now. Ho grow digsatiisfied with his life in the little town where he lived. He did this about the time that boys grow sour and haughty and talk ili a deep, hoarse voice. At about the same time he began to patrouize the barber shop, where ho read the “Police Gazette,” !the “Standard’ and “Town Topics.” His parents were pluin people and he got ashamed of them ns hogrew ii- ami his name appeared frequent i.i the county papers. His failm- was a plain mail and wore i.is pints in his boots, Ho also n: pie with bis knife. But he was honest. He paid his debts and" was a good neighbor. He helped the neighbors thresh every fall and at butchering old innii Homer was much in demand. Little TIomcr got ashamed of his folks, though, and the best they could do, lie would sit up till eleven o’clock some nights to bemoan bis fate. He was a boy who longed to soar. He should have been made sore with a barrel stove. Excuse the little joke. So when the papers nt the county seat printed his poetry it turned his lieai] and one evening while his father was doing the chores, little Homer rode the blind baggage out of town. He went to the next town and soon found himself Up against the real thing. Ilia money soon plityed out and he had to go it ou the bum. He would go front house to bouso and offer to ring for bread. When the folks heard him they immediately gave hbu the bread, I t was all they could do. I t was not streuge, therefore, that lie felt inspired.
