Fresh Shipment
Buckwheat Coal
Several hundred tons of Nanti
coke Buckwheat have just been re

because it's all coal reduced to the
smallest size.

of evil at v.ork-not a person, but a

The Bible mentions lilin as "Satan"

In no other case (lid Christ sepm to

The Devil'* Photo.
If there Is no devil we me sure of
this- that there Is some person or souie
hirKr Unit acts among nud upon and
influences men much as the orthodox
devil was supposed to in the good days
when men apparently lolliid it easier
to believe. If there Isn't a devil we
must tulnilt iliai the devil's work some
how gets done, atiil thoroughly done. I
believe that my lawyer friend Is right
as to the description Our conception
b wrong iiliout that If I were to ask
you. my readers, to draw a picture of
the devil tin tbe margin of this news
paper I suppose practically all would
depict him in medieval fashion witli
horns ami tail I think we have ma
liciously maligned the devil. The Bi
ble says something about his appear
ing as "an angel of light." Look out
for his makeup. He hasn't angular
eyebrows or pointed mustache, nor |
does he wear a red suit
A Gentlemanly Devil.
The devn as a devil never tempted j
a soul. Vou couldn't tempt a man lo'
drink by showing him a wretched J
home. rugs, bloated face, diseased body,
hut by gilded surroundings and exhil-.
aration of a pleasant stimulant. -Hoi
comes in the KUise of a friendly strung- i
er. fcle was never so iiflabie. so relinetl. j
so cultured, so faultless in manner. Iu
daylight he Is seldom out of good com
pany. Drive Idui out of the church at
one door, he puts on a different coat
and comes in at another lie will laugh
at your jokes, weep at your sorrows
and lie like the devil. He tells a young
fellow that he can "drink or let it
alone." He tells a girl that flirts with
a stranger that she's quick and can
outwit any one He's a good deal more
watchful nt a dance than the chaperon.
He tells a bus.ness man adopting tricky
methods tli t lie needn't tear; he's still
safe, still "legal honest." He comes so
insidiously that we can scarcely dis
tinguish him from our iikental opera
tions He Is np to date The twenti
eth century devil may lie a mean, de
moralizing. drMilitating habit of doubt
ing: a sneering, seotllng mood: a cyni
cal spirit which derides the virtue it
cannot attain and the goodness it can
not understand He conies when our
desire is strongest and our resistance
weakest. He came to Kve when she
was curious, to Ksau when he was hun
gry, to David when his desire was
i-'trongest. to I'eter when be was fright
ened iu strange surroundings, to our
l.ord when lie was weakened by forty
days' fast.
The Master Craftsman.
The devil Is alert. He passes a hun
dred gates and finds oue unlatched.
He claims all seasons as his own. He
doesn't lay oil' in winter, like the brick
layer. nor take a vacation in summer,
like tile preacher. He hasn't found the
joy of tbe eight hour day. like the
union man, lior the kill time skill of
the government employee, but he
works all the time without extra pay
for overtime. lie is busy Saturday
nights, although he doesn't miss any
other nights. He Is principal of the
street night school, where so many
boys and girls get their education. No
devilV Just fight him for a week and
seel He is a great general. If he can't
use artillery he'll try cavalry: If not
cavalry, infantry He'll attack your
lower nature with submarine, your
higher with aeroplane. He is a strate
gist. Knows every trick in warfare.
Will sometimes sham defeat It dis
organizes a regiment to see tbe enemy
flee. Victory things reaction. You
think you have mastered Satan He
leads you into an ambush. In one
careless hour yon lose, because you
won the first hour. His great word Is
"tomorrow." The master stroke of the
devil, be lie real or imaginary—Christ
said he was real—ls'his ability to con
vince that wrong Is right, self decep
tion. and that he does not exist. He
has already defeated the man who
says so. There are fifty ways of put
ting out a fire, but to deny that there
Is a fire Isn't one of them.
Radium at tha Big Exposition.
