why not?
DO you ever think of the condition of your fellow
man?
DO you know whether one kind word from you
would help him? .
DO you know whether afriendly smile would cheer
him?
WOULD YOU enloy an hour of social fellowship?
WOULD you enjoy an hour of spiritual fellowship?
YOU have, in your midst, an organization whose
motto is:
“MY BROTHER AND 1.” - the Wesley Bible Class.
IT’S PURPOSE—To put into practice the teachings
of CHRIST---The BROTHERHOOD of MAN.
IN MONEY, if you are rich or poor.

YOU are welcume.
DO you desire to know your fellowman better?
DO you desire to help him? ;
THEN join our class. It will help you and help us.
WE need your advice, your help. Will it benefit
you? It will.
THE writer of this has been groping in dark for
years,--
HE KNOWS what this class has done for him and
what it will do for you. _
AN old maxim, - He that knows and knows he
knows he is wise--follow him.
YOU could not find a better place to go than to the
Carnegie Library.
Every Sunday morning at 9;30, this is the place we
meet. Do you know who our TEACHER is? Come
up next Sunday and see. It will supprise you,
We hope to see you present next Sunday.

A. B. & A. TRACES STOLEN
BRASS
The A. B. & A. for some time
has been missing brass from the
shop in this city, said to amount
to several thousand dollars in
value. A few days ago a car of
iron shipped by the Casper Junk
Co. was found to contain some of
the missing brass and warrants
were sworn out for them for buy
ing stolen property.
A $5OO bond was assessed by
the Sheriff which was readily
given. The brass was said to have
been brought to the firm at va
rious times by different parties,
for whom warrants will be sworn
out for stealing.
