She left Sunday morning. Miss Tildia Parke had her closing exercise on April 18. Quite a number of people were prevented from going on account of the rain. Those who attended sald the exercise was good. Bacteria and Flavor. The great difficulty with most butter makers is that they do not comprehend that it is a certain kind of bacteria that largely controls the flavor. Even cleanliness in every sense of the word does not always result in milk souring with the best flavor, as all cows are usually milked in the stable during the winter months and in a real warm barn we usually find that the putrefactive bacteria are found in abundance. These get into the milk while milking and contaminate it before it reaches the creamery. A maker cannot tell by the taste or smell just how the milk is going to sour. The introduction of starters or pure cultures is benefiting the dairy business of the country by introducing higher skilled labor. The ignorant, careless maker who does everything by chance rather than by rule will soon be relegated to the rear. In his place will come the, intelligent, clean, tidy maker, with his knowledge of chemistry and bacteriology, making a uniform product of butter that oleomargarine or process butter cannot meet in competition—Prof. G. L. McKay. Pone Leo's Wonderful Vitality The Pope at ninety-four reads without spectacles, walks without a cane, dresses and undresses without assistance, and works about fourteen hours daily.

WILSON. Pastor Pleasant Great Baptist Church CHURCH HISTORY. By Rev. E. M. Wilson Mr. Chairman, members of the convention, ladies and gentlemen, at the behest of the program committee. I have prepared a paper on partial church history. The following topics under said subject shall be discussed. 1st. Paul the missionary to the Gentiles. 2nd. His calling extent of his labors. 3rd. Difficulties and persecutions encountered. 4th. Self-sacrifice. 5th. Evangelistic work. 6. His constructive work as shown in the epistle. 7th. General estimate of Paul's character and influence. Paul was a Benjamite, a native of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, and was born about A. D. 5, a free Roman citizen by birth, by descent from his father. He was a tentmaker by trade. The main events of his life were as follows, conversation, labors at Antioch, his first missionary journey, in which he assume the character of the Apostle to the Gentiles, the visits to Jerusalem to settle the relation between the Jew and Gentile converts. The introduction of the Gospel into Europe, the third missionary journey, during which time he wrote the four great epistles. The arrest, imprisonment, voyage to Rome and death. Personally he is almost unknown to us, unless we accept tradition and the statements of the ancients, he assisted in the stoning of Stephen, his forerunner and the first Christian martyr. He was on his way to Damascus to arrest the disciples of Jesus there and bring them to Jerusalem for trial, and punishment as apostates from the Jewish church. On his way he was arrested by a miracle, converted by receiving knowledge of the truth, was consecrated by Ananias, and, after his recovery from the temporary blindness, began his work for the new cause in the synagogue at Damascus, by preaching Jesus Christ to the Jews and Jesus the son of God to the Gentiles. His preaching excited rage, and he had to escape from the city by night. His friends let him down from a window in a basket, and he made his escape. After three years absence he returned to Jerusalem, but was soon driven away by the Jews. He went from their to Antioch. He and Barnabas were afterwards sent to Jerusalem. It was on his first missionary journey that his name was changed from Saul to Paul. He and Barnabas visited Jerusalem again, then separated on account of a sharp contention concerning John Mark. His business the next year was founding churches in Phrygia and Galatia, which he did with great success. KANSAS CITY, MO., FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1903. He started to Bythynia, but in a vision the spirit of Jesus turned him back from Bythinia, and he went to Troussle, while there the spirit, in the form of a man of Macedonia directed him to carry the Gospel into Europe, in the memorable words, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." He preached from city to city for nearly a year and passed on into Greece. He then set forth the gospel in the synagogue, the market place, and by invitation, in the venerable assembly of the Oreopagus where were gathered the most polished men of the foremost seat of learning in the world, who were acute, witty, shrewd, and most intensely scornful. He exposed the folly of their superstitions with exquisite tact and ability and unfolded the character and claims of the Unknown God, whom they were already worshiping unintelligently. But he made very little impression on that popular religion, probably because his simple faith, having no splendid show of material accession, could not be expected to take the place of their highly poetical' mythology, which was celebrated by the most magnificent displays of temples, vestments, processions and sacrifices. A year and one-half in Corinth was spent in preaching and working at his trade, with much better results than at Athens. Again at Ephesus he made so many friends that the idol makers became alarmed for the business and stirred up a tumult against him. After another visit to Macedonia, Greece, he turned towards Jerusalem for the fifth and last time. On his way there occurred at Militus, one of the most affecting incidents in the whole story of his life. He was over 60 years of age, naturally feeble of body always a hard worker, and it seemed probable that this was his last interview. He is one of the most wonderful characters known to history. He was called to preach the Gospel at many places, namely: Macedonia, Phrygia, Galatia, but was forbidden to go to Bithynia. It was at Troas that he had the famous Macedonia call. He went to Philippi, one of the chief cities of Macedonia, then passed through Amphipolis and Appolonia to Thessalonica, to Berea, Athens, Corinth, Jerusalem, Ephesus, Antiach, the starting point of all his missionary journeys. In these and many more places he established churches. His labors were indeed extensive. There were many difficulties and persecutions encountered. The first difficulty was at Damascus, when he escaped from his enemies in a basket. He went to Jerusalem and was driven out from there and went to Tarsus. He went several more places, then proceeded to Ephesus, where a tumult was stirred up against him, just before visiting Corinth and Athens he and Sias were in Philippi, and were beaten by a mob, taken to their chief magistrates and were then taken to prison, but were released by the power of God. He was again persecuted at Berea and was also in a difficulty at the Areopagus. There were many other difficulties and persecutions in his life, too numerous to mention. His enemies had determined on his destruction, and watched for an opportunity, were finally compelled to invent an accusation on the pretext that Paul had taken some Greeks in the temple and thereby had broken the law of Moses, and had polluted the holy house. He was rescued from the Jews by the Roman soldiers and protected on account of his Roman citizenship, but for years was kept in chains without trial. Of his death almost nothing is known. Tradition affirms that he was beheaded at Rome, where a grave is now shown which is honored with a monument. He was a poor mechanic, and in the eyes of the Greeks and Romans was of an origin as hateful as that of the Jews, who are called the enemies of mankind, and his enemies said that he was of a bodily presence that was weak, and had a contemptible approach, yet he did more than any other man to set in motion those ideas that were to lift up mankind out of darkness, and superstition, purify their minds from the errors of ages, open their hearts to the great truths of the oneness of God, and the brotherhood of men and the value of the good and true life, enforcing these great truths by a life equally great, full of bravery, self-sacrifice and self-denial and which have gained power to crush and scatter the paganism of the Greek and Roman world. His evangelistic work was a remarkable success, he always held fast to that which was good. He made full proof of his ministry, he was the proper man for that particular duty because he did the work of an evangelist. The constructive work as shown in all of his epistles is exceedingly grand. The two Epistles to the Thessalonians, Epistle to the Gallatians, Epistle to the Corinthians, Epistle to the Romans, Epistle to Timothy, Epistle to Titus, wrote to Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, and Philippians. In nearly all of Paul's letters to churches, there are six features that occur. 1st. The greeting. 2. The thanksgiving. 3rd. A doctrinal section. 5th. Personal messages. 6th. A final salutation. In his epistle to the Thessalonians, he says these words: 1. Now, we exort you, brethren warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but forever follow that which is good, both among yourselves and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the spirit. Despise not prophesying. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved, blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. This epistle was written A. D. 52, during the second missionary journey. It was the first of the Pauline epistles; it was written at Corinth to the church at Thessalonica. There is something peculiarly striking about his letters. They are at this time translated into one hundred and fifty languages, read by every civilized nation on the face of the earth, read by one hundred and fifty million people; and churches are dedicated to...s name in every Christian city in the world. If privation, suffering, patience and perseverance, warmed by zeal, and tempered with wisdom, and love, elevated and polished by scholarship and brilliant talents, inspired with the knowledge of the divine spirit, and all these qualities softened with a charming urbanity that was never laid aside—if all these rare endowments can build an enduring memorial in the earth, surely among the immortals in the memory of men will be found, along with the names of Adam, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, the noble name of Paul the apostle. Some of the most striking passages of scripture in the Bible were written by Paul. Rom. 8:38-39 reads as follows: For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come nor heights nor depths, nor any other creature, can be able to separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Go with me back into the dawn of early literature when education was raging in the noble halls of Greece, touching the hearts of the nations; now stop for a moment and consider the authors of the Illiad, or the great Athenian scientists and philosophers, and in no respects are they to be compared with Paul the apostle of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The people were stimulated and fascinated by the transient streams of wisdom which followed in the wake of his marvelous teachings. Having had profound knowledge of human nature in every respect, he was greater than Stephen, his forerunner and martyr. As for intellectuality, with shrewdness, skill he stands preeminently. He was a genius. His was the highest calling and he was best suited for it, and will never fade out of our sight, in the twilight of ecclesiastical tradition everything in his life was done with orderly gravity. Bluffed Gen. Kitchener A certain young Canadian officer of engineers is credited with having "put down" Lord Kitchener during the troubles in South Africa. The young man was in charge of an important piece of railroad work. Kitchener appeared one morning and expressed disapproval of some features, talking in characteristically bliting fashion. The young officer had his share of the independence which comes of living on this side of the Atlantic, so he said: "Am I bossing this work or are you?" Kitchener looked at him, recognized a young fellow after his own heart and walked away with a nod of approval. A Unique Apology. President Roosevelt was telling a friend about his mail, which averages 500 or 600 letters a day. "One of the most remarkable letters I ever received," he said, "arrived on the morning the first full accounts of the Martinique disaster were printed in the newspapers. The writer said he saw that the American consul at Martinique had been burned to death. He applied for the place and wound up with this sentence: "I make this early application so as to get in ahead of those loathsome creatures, the office seekers." Mr. Carnegie likes to talk to tall men. Pittsburgh friends say that they have known him to deliberately scrape up acquaintance with representatives of the 6 feet and over class for no other reason in the world than to ask them how they managed to grow tall. Mr. Carnegie has never got over his boyhood ambition to be a big man physically. He once said to a friend apropos of this disappointment: "People tell me that I'm a big man. But I'm not as big as I'd like to be. Look at me."

HOLLY, MISSOURI'S FOREM- MOST PHYSICIAN. A Graduate of Three Universities, Bennett, Lincoln, Howard. Dr. L. J. Holly was born in Chowan county, N. C., years ago. He was sent at the early age of seven to the public schools of his native city, through which he rapidly passed, entering the high school at thirteen and graduating therefrom at seventeen, a record indicative of the future success while he has attained. Not being content with a high school education, we find young Holly a freshman at Bennett college shortly after leaving the high school. Graduating from this institution of learning, he went north and entered Lincoln university. Chester county, Pa., taking his Bachelor's degree from this school in '86. We next find him at Howard University, pursuing a medical course, finishing the some with high honors. I began the practice of his profession in the city of Washington, D. C., meeting with success from the start. Like most young men of ambition, Dr. Holly believed that the best offered more inducements for young men of brains and push, he made up his mind to locate in Kansas City. Before leaving Washington Dr. Holly was married to Miss Sadie Gaskin, the only daughter of Hon. J. T. Gaskin, a wealthy and well known resident of Washington, who has for more than thirty years held a responsible position in the senate of the United States. Mrs. Holly is a graduate of Howard University and a musician of rare ability. Mrs. Holly is also an artist, her paintings being the best on exhibition at the Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha. Dr. Holly has an elegant home at 1117 Campbell street and enjoys a large practice. Vindicating Spinsterhood: To laugh at spinsterhood nowadays is to display ignorance of women, and assuredly the very last way in the world to persuade her into matrimony. It is tolerably clear that when a woman wants to marry she generally manages to achieve her object. When she prefers a "bachelor" life it may be taken as equally certain that she is best securing her own happiness and probably that of others.—Lady's Pictorial. Canada's Pig Iron Production The American iron and Steel association has received direct from the manufacturers the statistics of the production of pig iron in Canada in 1902. They show an increase of 74.581 gross tons, or over 30 per cent, as compared with 1901. The total production in 1902 amounted to 319.557 gross tons, against 244.976 tons in 1901 and 86.900 tons in 1900. Fast Travel in Automobile A new speed record of 27 seconds for the kilometer was made by the Hon. C. S. Rolls in Nootinghamshire, England.

Adams, who died recently in Miami county, Kas., was a farmer, and was six years of age when John Quincy Adams was elected President of the United States. He was a near relative of that president.

A TOWER TO MARK HISTORIC SPOT TOWER TO MARK HISTORIC SPOT The largest vessel ever built in an American shipyard was launched April 16, at the plant of its builders, the United States Shipbuilding company, at New London, Conn. The new boat, which has been christened the Minnesota, is exceeded in size by but two other vessels in the world, the Celtic and Cedric of the White Star line, which were built abroad. The Minnesota is to be one of the great fleet of intermediate freight and passenger ships, with which the Great Northern Steamship company aims to gain control of Pacific ocean traffic. It is 630 feet long, 73 feet 6 inches wide, 88 feet high 'to the captain's bridge, and 177 feet high to the top of the masts. She will be rigged as a four-masted schooner and in all will have nine decks, five of which will be continuous. Her total cargo capacity will be CORRUPT NEW YORK JURORS. District Attorney Is Severe In His Indictment. Eugene A. Philbin of New York, has a poor opinion of jurors, grand and petty, in that city. In an address at Columbia university on "The District Attorney's Office" he referred as follows to the corruptibility of jurors: "There are men on grand juries in New York whose first object is to protect the political party to which they belong. One jury recently refused to issue a presentment because the person affected was a good political worker in the district of one of the jurors. The grand jury not infrequently stands between the criminal and the just penalty of his crime. The district attorney is confronted with the necessity of attacking police corruption which so clearly exists, but he finds it almost impossible to secure a conviction for bribery owing to the character of the witnesses. I have seen cases where the moral evidence was complete that certain jurors were corrupted, and one has confessed to me." Conan Doyle's Religious Ideas Conan Doyle's Religious Ideas. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle cherishes many interests and one of them is religious work. Last week the knight opened a bazaar in aid of a fund toward a chapel to the memory of the late Hugh Price Hughes and he took advantage of the occasion to remark that he did not agree with the system of keeping religion in watertight compartments, each having no connection with the other. All, he said, were working for the amelioration of mankind and he had profound respect for all and would gladly help them. Sir Arthur, by the way, was brought up a Roman Catholic. Free Railway Libraries A Danish railway company has just introduced a system of free libraries by rail for the benefit of its third-class passengers. The system is already in full operation on the lines of several companies in Sweden, where a good election of works on history, travel, poetry and fiction is placed at the disposal of the third-class passengers. The advantage is much appreciated, and, notwithstanding the poverty of a large number of these using the books, loss from damage or theft is trifling. His Subjects Cheer the Czar. The czar of Russia had a new experience the other day which proved to him that there is such a thing as national spirit among the common people of Russia. As he drove through the streets of St. Petersburg the crowds cheered him to the echo and it is said that the sad-faced autocrat positively beamed with pleasure over the evidence of popular approval of him. The cordial outburst was undoubtedly due to the recent ukase announcing forthcoming reforms. Work is soon to begin on the erection of a memorial observatory on PROPOSED METORIAL TOWER TO BE EXPANDED ON PROJECT HILL SOTER- VILLE, FOR OBSERVATION PURPOSES. the top of the historic Prospect Hill. Somerville, Mass., a sum of money 30,000 tons, and her hatches are so large that an entire locomotive or freight car can be lowered into her hold intact. The bunker capacity is 6,000 tons, and the driving power will come from two vertical inverted direct acting, triple expansion surface condensing marine engines having an indicated horse-power of 10,000, which means a speed of about fourteen knots per hour. Fire in the hold can be extinguished by steam, valves for controlling which are always accessible on the upper deck. Officials of the building company believe the launching of the Minnesota means much for American ship builders who have heretofore never built any but war vessels of the largest type. Foreign orders for merchant ships are now expected. BRIGHAM YOUNG'S LONG CAREER Late Mormon Leader Active in Building up the Church. Brigham Young, son of President Young, founder of the Mormon church, who died in Salt Lake recently, had been ill for a long time and spent last year in Idaho in search of health. Mr. Young was born in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1836. He was president of the Council of Twelve Apostles, and by virtue of that position was in direct line to become the head of the church, to which place he would undoubtedly have succeeded had he lived, because of his family connections and the influence of the name in Utah. Throughout his life BRIGHLAT YOUNG Brigham Young had been prominently identified with the work of the Mormon church both at home and abroad. He was a member of the Utah legislature for several terms and had occupied many positions of honor and trust. He went to Utah in 1849, making the perilous journey across the trackless plains while yet a mere boy. Like all the pioneers of this valley, his early life, when not fighting hostile Indians, was spent in performing hard manual labor. Brigham Young made several trips abroad in the interest of his church, and in 1864 was president of the European Mission. In 1879 he was imprisoned for refusing to turn certain church property over to the government agent, but was released after three weeks' confinement. Had Distinguished Wedding Guests. It is doubtful if any negro in the state of Missouri ever had a list of more distinguished wedding guests than did "Judge" Addison Greene, the venerable janitor of the court of appeals, who was married to Ellen Jordan of Jefferson City by Judge Guinette the other afternoon. Those present included the entire bench of the court of appeals, clerk of the court, his deputy, the marshal, the criminal judge, ten county officers, five prominent lawyers and a score of deputies. having already been set aside by Mayor Glines for the carrying out of such a purpose. Prospect Hill is noted for the prominent part it took in the Revolutionary war, and it was from the top of this hill that the first American flag was thrown to the breeze. The observatory is to take the form of a tower, and will closely resemble an old English castle. The tower will be forty-five feet high. The top will be flat and protected to a height of four feet by a parapet, with iron gratings in the embrasures, and will afford a view that cannot be equaled in Boston. On a clear day the vision can travel to the Blue Hills, Boston Light and to the White Mountains. The walls of the tower will be of rough granite and will be thirty feet in diameter. Two rooms will be set apart for the exhibiting of historic relics and souvenirs. The structure from the second floor will be hexagonal in shape, resting on six columns AS TOLD BY MOLES BIRTHMARKS THAT INDICATE GOOD OR BAD FORTUNE. Marks on the Body Intended by Nature to Foreordain Disposition and Career—Right Side of the Body the Most Favorable. Said the old nurse of the newly arrived baby she had come to see: "This child's going to be pretty and grow up to make a fine marriage. She's got a mole just above her mouth on the right side and that sign never falls." Moles on the right side of the body generally are symbolical of good. Moles on the left side, considered as a whole, indicate adverse fortune for the possessor. A mole on the back of the neck denotes a happy, successful life, but indicates that the possessor must beware of the water, should keep an eye on the safety rope when surf bathing and be careful about going out in small boats with inexperienced skippers, for this is an indication of an untimely end by drowning, coupled with the good fortune in this horoscope. A brown or honey-colored mole on the edge of the chin indicates for the baby of either sex a felicitous marriage and long life. If such a chin mole be black the meaning is reversed. A mole in the hollow of the chin denotes a quarrelsome, contentious disposition, while a mole of any color on a woman's under lip signifies improvidence, folly and slothfulness. A mole on the left side of the upper lip forbodes celliby and a close-fisted disposition in man or woman, and also indicates that existence will be hard. A mole on the throat is an unlucky omen, meaning trial and misfortune. A girl baby having a mole on the left side of the forehead will be married twice and be apt to be estranged from her kin people and perhaps reside in foreign lands. A mole on the right side of the forehead indicates a person of independent ideas and one apt to take the initiative in enterprises. Explorers and inventors have this mark. If the mole so situated is of pronounced size and color it betokens the inheritance of legacies and handling of much money. Moles opposite each other on both sides of the neck or chest telltell a struggle for whatever is the possessor's aim in life, whether it be fame, or a love match, or for some pet principle or hobby. No smooth or flowery path awaits the possessor of such birthmarks, though victory and achievement may be the ultimate end. A mole on the right side of the upper lip, just a suspicion above the mouth, means rare good fortune. A girl child so blessed is bound to be married between the age of 19 and 24 and become an excellent wife and exemplary mother. Health, discretion and engaging qualities are her endowment. A boy baby with this mark has the prospect of a successful career, honored and beloved by his contemporaries. Joy attends those persons with moles on the right legs or thighs. They will not only have abounding good luck, but will be of the disposition to construe all things for good and create their own happiness. A mole or two on the right foot betokens an equable, peace-loving temperament and a moderate degree of success in business undertakings. A mole on the arm just above the wrist, if on the right side, is a happy omen, insuring love and the esteem of friends and associates to the possessor during a long life. A mole similarly situated on the left arm signifies the power of fascination, but indicates fickle fortunes for the bearer.—New York Sun. WHY HE FLAGGED THE TRAIN. Thought Perhaps Somebody Might Want to Get Off. When the Berks and Lehigh railroad was built, some years back, one of the spots to be honored with a small frame shed and the title of "station" was a little out of the way place in Lehigh county, while the position of "station master" was given to a nearby farmer. The latter's acquaintance with railroads was very slight, and on receiving his instructions he was told among other things that it was merely a flag station, and trains would stop only to let somebody on or off, and that if he wanted to stop any train he must "flag" it. One day shortly after his appointment the noon express train drew up in obedience to the red flag he had displayed. The conductor stepped briskly off and called "All aboard!" and a moment later turned to the station master and asked: "Aren't there any passengers to get on?" "Well, none as I know of," replied the agent, with a puzzled look. "Then why did you stop the train?" shouted the irate conductor. "I didn't know," said the other, "but some one might want to get off."—Philadelphia Ledger. Does Noninflammable Wood Tarnish? It having been asserted that chests of noninflammable wood had the effect of tarnishing the metal buttons of the uniforms that might be put in them, the British Admiralty inaugurated a test by packing away a uniform in one of these receptacles and another in a chest of ordinary wood, and opening them after two years. The test has proved inconclusive, however, and the uniforms will be locked up in the chests for another year M. DR. ADOLE LORENZ, FAMOUS VIENNA SURGEON, AND LOLITA ARMOUR, HIS LITTLE PATIENT. Russell Russell Curtis Gold Boston Oxford Oyster Mary Roseen Lolita Armour is no longer a cripple. Dr. Adolph Lorenz, the famous Vienna surgeon, took off the plaster cast on the little girl's hip at Chicago last week in less time than it takes to tell of it. The physician told her to move across the room. With a cry of joy the child found herself able to walk without assistance. Tears flowed from the eyes of the onlookers, but they were soon mingled with smiles and laughter. Mrs. Armour was not in the house at the time. When she returned she nearly fainted when Lolita ran—actually ran—up to her and I cried out: "Oh, mamma, see, I can walk now." With a hysterical cry Mrs. Armour caught the child to her breast, and soon mother and daughter were weeping with an excess of joy. Dr. Lorenz performed the work of removing the cast with an ordinary penknife. The plaster was removed without the slightest difficulty, and with no pain to the little patient, who has suffered all her misfortunes with the heroism of a martyr. Lolita's nurse, keyed to a pitch of intense excitement, was present in the child's room. With trembling limbs and an Chamberlain and His Eyeglass. From July 15, 1876, when he first entered the house of commons, to his recent return to England from Africa the most salient feature of Mr. Chamberlain's personal appearance has been his eyeglass. From the first it fascinated the popular imagination. The idea of Birmingham Radical, Republican Chamberlain with a monocle staggered the house, though Disraeli, John Bright and other M. P.'s favored the same aid of vision. Disraeli, who heard Mr. Chamberlain's maiden speech, gave, it is said, as his only opinion that "He wears his eyeglass like a gentleman." Well Known Game Cock Breeder: The greatest breeder and most successful fighter of game cocks in the United States is believed to be John W. Goodhart of Leesburg, Va., who pursues the business in a thoroughly practical way, with the result of swelling his bank account materially. When training birds to fight he marches them up and down steep hillsides to strengthen their legs and otherwise puts them through strenuous exercise. Generally his birds fight in Baltimore, where, as a matter of fact, such contests are contrary to law, but are quietly ignored by the authorities. Bjornson as a Philanthropist. Shortly before his seventieth birthday Bjornson tried to raise a fund for the aid of indigent teachers in public schools. Only 3,000 crowns was subscribed and it is said that he is now trying to purchase one of the educational periodicals of his country with a view of helping to carry out his plans. HAS "AUTO Curtis Gold. J Boston on Knapp Oyster Bay P. W. Williams, a telegraph operator of Detroit, has an old cowboy's hat which he wouldn't take $100 for. Mr. Williams accompanied President Roosevelt on his campaign tour of the west in 1900 and bought the head-piece in a Wyoming town. Instead "Oh," she exclaimed. "I am so happy I can now walk. I wish mamma was here to see me." Mrs. Armour was almost too happy to see strangers, but she said: "Dr. Lorenz has told me that the operation was entirely successful. He says he sees no reason why it should not eventuate in a complete cure, and that every condition points that way." The young patient now looks as rosy and fresh as other little girls, and she is said to be in first-class health. Lolita Armour has been a cripple from childhood, suffering from congenital disease of the hip. Last fall Dr. Lorenz was brought from Vienna by Mr. Armour and paid $30,000 for placing the child's limbs in a plaster cast after reducing the complications. This was the second operation, the first being unsuccessful. For months the little girl has been unable to move her limb, and through all her trials has kept up a brave little heart. Now she will be able to take part in the amusements of her friends and play like other children, and the Armours would not care if the cost had been trebled. Sir John Forest, the Australian statesman, has a great record as an explorer. A few years ago after entering the survey department in 1885 he commanded an expedition sent into the interior in search of Dr. Leichardt. The following year he explored the shores of the great Australian Bight from Perth to Adelaide. Later on he conducted an expedition in connection with the overland telegraph between Adelaide and Port Darwin, making a journey of nearly 2,000 miles without the aid of camels and with horses only. Hewitt as a Business Man. The late Abram S. Hewitt did not believe in the stereotyped saw "If you want a thing well done do it yourself." He used to say: "My principle of economy always has been never to do anything myself if I could pay someone else to do it as well." Mr. Hewitt held this system to be the truest economy to save himself for the most important uses. He was of opinion that the great weakness of Gladstone as a political leader was that he seldom allowed a subordinate to do anything. Brigham Young's Successor. The death of Brigham Young, president of the council of twelve apostles of the mormon church, leaves a vacancy in that office and the succession is a matter of much speculation. F. M. Lyman and John Henry Smith are the senior apostles, both having been appointed in 1879. Following precedent, one of these would be selected as president of the twelve apostles and thus be in line of succession to the presidency of the church. GRAPH" HAT of wearing it, the operator asked Mr Roosevelt to write his name on the brim, which the president did. Now the hat is a valuable autograph album bearing the signatures of many distinguished men and a record of the states through which it was carried Valuable Insect Collection: Valuable Insect Collection. A collection of 50,000 insects has just been purchased by the department of zoology of the University of Chicago. The collection is from all parts of the world, and was made by the late John Akhurst. The collection is unusually valuable on account of its completeness, and represents a large amount of careful work, extending over many years. Spread of Mormonism. The Rev. John K. Notting, head of the Utah Gospel mission, told the Presbyterian Ministers' Association in New York several days ago that if Mormonism increased at the rate it has the last twelve years in another decade they will control the west of the United States from Canada to Mexico. Tremont Temple Wants Pastor Tremont Temple Wants Pastor. The Tremont Temple church, Boston, recently extended a call to the Rev. Clarence A. Barbour, D. D., of Rochester, N. Y., to its vacant pastorate. It was so nearly unanimous as to be practically so. They "Waited" and "Saw." Warren's Corners, N. Y., April 20th. —"Wait and see—you're better now, of course, but the cure won't last." This was what the doctors said to Mr. A. B. Smith of this place. These doctors had been treating him for years and he got no better. They thought that nothing could permanently cure him. He says: "My kidneys seemed to be so large that there wasn't room for them, and at times it seemed as if ten thousand needles were running through them. I could not sleep on my left side for years, the pain was so great in that position. I had to get up many times to urinate, and my urine was sometimes clear and white as spring water, and again it would be high-colored and would stain my linen. The pain across my back was awful. I was ravenously hungry all the time. "After I had taken Dodd's Kidney Pills for four days my kidneys pained me so bad I could hardly sit down. On the morning of the fifth day I felt some better, and the improvement continued until I was completely cured. "This is months ago, and as I have had no symptom of a return of my old trouble I am sure I am permanently cured." A woman's idea of a convenient flat is one that has three closets in each room. Kissing Out of Fashion. The habit of kissing babies indiscriminately is now very generally condemned on sanitary grounds. But the decline of kissing seems to rest, in the main, upon the great principles of etiquette, which are superior, as everyone of intelligence must admit, to those of science. In other words, kissing has gone out of fashion.—Providence, R. I. Journal. Tortoise 400 Years Old A tortoise whose estimated age is 400 years and known weight is 600 pounds, making it the largest one ever reported, has crossed the United States on a limited train en route from the Galápagos islands to the private zoological garden of the Hon. Walter Rothschild, in London. In civilization cabbages are given him in lieu of the cacti of his native heath. Has Had Long Reign Frederick, Grand Duke of Baden, has reigned longer than any other European royalty except the Emperor of Austria. He became regent as long ago as 1852, and Grand Duke four years later. Many Lovers in Portugal. A Lisbon physician has created a sensation by his assertion that there are at least 2,000 lepers in Portugal, and that, as beggars, they convey the infection from place to place. BUILT OVER. Food That Rebuilt a Man's Body and Built It Right. By food alone, with a knowledge of what food to use, disease can be warded off and health maintained, also many even chronic diseases can be cured. It is manifestly best and safest to depend upon food to cure rather than too much drugging. A case in point will illustrate. A well known man of Reading, Pa. Treas. of a certain club there, says: "I have never written a testimonial letter, but I have been using Grape-Nuts about a year and have recovered my health, and feel that I would like to write you about it for the case is extraordinary. "For five years I was a sufferer from a dreadful condition of the bowels; the trouble was most obscure." Here follows a detailed description and the condition certainly was distressing enough (details can be given by mail). "Nothing in the way of treatment of drugs benefited me in the least and an operation was seriously considered. In May, 1901, I commenced using Grape Nuts as a food and with no idea that it would in any way help my condition. In two or three weeks' time I noticed an improvement and there was a steady gain from that time on until now I am practically well. I don't know how to explain the healing value of the food but for some reason, although it has taken nearly a year, I have recovered my health and the change is entirely attributable to Grape Nuts food, for I long ago quit medicine. I eat only Grape Nuts for breakfast and lunch, but at my night dinner I have an assorted meal." Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

GLEANINGS. From Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Located in the rear of Independence and Tracy Avenues, Kansas City, Missouri. Sunday school opened at its usual hour, 9:30 with a large and appreciative number of pupils. Superintendent being late, Rev. E. M. Wilson opened services. Lesson, "The Law of Love" was taught by Mr. H. J. McDonald. Explanation from cluster by pastor. He explained the subject in such a way that it can never be forgotten by the hearers. His explanation was plain, instructive, and exceedingly impressive. This being the second anniversary of the pastor, Rev. E. M. Wilson, immediately after the Sunday school Decon Frey of the Metropolitan Baptist church of Kansas City, Kan., assisted by Miss Lillie Taylor of the Pleasant Green Baptist church, led praise service. At the close of said service congregation read tenth chapter of Romans, led by pastor. Choir entered choir box and sang "All Thy Works." Sermon by the pastor. Subject, "The Little Things." 30th chapter of Proverbs and twenty-fourth verse, which reads as follows: There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceedingly wise. His subject was "Power and Effect of Little Things." He spoke of the advantage of the habit of observation; the momentum and velocity of a fly compared to man with reference to volume and mass. Solomon's observative power, the smallest insect that exists; the atom, molcule, and many other interesting things. He added that the first wrong step was the step to destruction, and that we should watch our words, actions and thoughts and shun the very appearance of evil. Never has a sermon more grand been preached in the history of the church from general sentiment. Doors of the church were opened for reception of members and while the choir sang "I Pays to Serve Jesus," one Mr. Walter Countee came forward and joined Christian experience. Collection. Dismission. Immediately after the service the funeral service of Mr. Davis was held. Twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes was read by the pastor before he preached the funeral sermon. His text was, "I Saw the Dead, Small and Gj eat, Strand before God, and the books were open, and another book was opened which was the book of life, and the dead was judged out of the books thereof." After the funeral services people were dismissed until 2:30 o'clock. Service at three o'clock opened by devotional exercises. We had an instructive talk by Rev. Flits of the Macedonia Baptist church of Independence, Mo. His subject was, "Women's Work in the Church." We had with us the Metropolitan Baptist choir of Kansas City, Kan., and their worthy pastor, Rev. E. A. Wilson. After the choir had entered the choir box and sang in melodious strains one of their selections, which strains of music fell with sweetness upon the ears of the audience, we had a most scholarly and instructive address from their pastor, Rev. E. A. Wilson, subject, "The Church and Pastor." We assure you we had a rare treat. We had with us as a member of the choir Prof. W. G. Woods, editor of the Kansas Record. The Rising Son was represented also in the person of Prof. F. A Turner. After his address a paper was read by Mrs. gertrude White McDonald, subject, "The Future." B. Y. P. U. opened at its usual hour, 6 o'clock. We had an interesting lesson. A letter was read by the secretary to the Union from Miss Kathrine Scott, our former secretary, who is now in Oklahoma Territory. A question was propounded by the members of the Union as to whether it was right for the disciples to pick corn on the Sabbath day, and out of this question grew another question: Was it right for a starving man to obtain food anywhere he could? These questions will be discussed next Sunday. Miss Lillie R. Taylor will write a paper on said questions. Regular services at 7:30. Choir entered choir box and sang, "ACharge to Keep I Have." Congregation read 21st chapter of Revelation. led by pastor. Choir sang an anthem, Sermon by Brother Moss, of Pilgrim Baptist church of this city. Text, 14th chapter of John, second verse. "I go to prepare a place for you." Subject: This is their comfort in the house of their pilgrimage. The sermon was a good one. Doors of church were opened by pastor for the reception of members, and one, Brother Berryman, came forward and joined by Christian experience. Choir sang, "Go Preach My Gospel." Right hand of fellowship was extended to Brothers Countee and Berryman. Tuesday evening Mrs. N. B. Oxley and Rev. Carpenter spoke at the church in the interest of the U. O. T. R., one of the grandest organizations in this country to give employment to the Negro. Thursday evenin. Literary. Thursday, Friday and Saturday the B. Y. P. U. Sub. District Convention will be held at this church and all are cordially invited to attend. Program will be interesting. General collection, $30.20. Choir sang, "God Be With You." Dismission. G. W. M. G. W. M. ALLEN CHAPEL. The bazaar was the grandest effort of the year thus far. Not only was it pretty to the eye but it was managed in such a business like way that the result could not help being all right. It has been years since Alien has been able to boast of having a minister's wife take the lead in anything and make it a success, and by so doing let people see that she is in sympathy with them and willing to do her part toward making her husband's work here a success. We surely feel more in love with Mrs. Scott than ever, and those who stood with her all the way through the work of the bazaar can never forget her patience and kindness to all. Everywhere she went soliciting she was treated with courtesy and received handsome donations. Everyone tried to do their part. Donations were received from parts of Colorado, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kansas and Missouri. Miss Anna Jones was her valuable assistant and was on hand at every turn to help make things go successfully. Many valuable donations were sent her also. The Art and Linen booths were all clear profit, everything, even to the bunting in which they were trimmed was donated. The ladies worked day and night and feel well repaid for their labor by giving the trustees $203.50. When they heard the report they ceased complaining of how tired they were, for they had not been at work for their health nor for the show of the thing, but for the cash and they were happy. What would any church do without its sisters, any way? All of the entertainments of the week were good. The children's drill on Monday was excellent. Miss Hallie Q. Brown was at her best, and a better program has never been listened to. She is simply grand, not only on the stage, but off as well. We were charmed with her lecture Sunday evening. We cannot begin to mention the good things she said. But there was one good things we will mention, and that was, we should work for God because it was our duty and not to be praised by man. When will we learn to do that? We were pleased to see our dear good bishop and wife, and Presiding Elder Owens with us. Our pastor preached last Sunday morning one of those good, soul stirring sermons, and the souls that were in harmony with God felt every word that wa ssaid. The choir sang the beautiful selection "Saved by Grace," while three persons joined the church and seven came to the alter for prayer. The Lord was in our midst and souls were made happy. We have been having such services right along and God has been blessing us. The full report of the trustees will be given next week. Election of trustees will be held next Tuesday night. Every member should be present. Neighborly Neglect. Every one knows the dislike of the country person to interfere with his neighbors. A good instance has just occurred in the Midlands. Farmer Jarvis, driving to market, saw through the open door of a barn the body of a neighbor suspended from a beam, and drove on, revolving the tragedy. When he reached the market town he imparted the news with deliberate emphasis. "Good heavens!" exclaimed the other, "and did you cut him down?" "No," said the farmer more slowly still, "he wasn't dead yet."—London Globe A Delightful Prison. It is very doubtful if there is any where a more delightful prison than that of Tobel, in Switzerland. There are very few guards, not more than one to twenty-five prisoners, and they never think of carrying arms. The prisoners' cells are constantly open, so that the inmates can easily tell at any time what the guards are doing. Moreover, the prisoners are allowed to have paper, ink, newspapers, clerder and various dainties from the kitchen, including fried eggs, of which they are very fond. Insanity Among Women A German professor has been investigating the causes of insanity among women and has come to the conclusion that if women are admitted into competition with men the inevitable result will be a tremendous increase of insanity among the women. He finds that the percentage of women teachers who become insane is almost double that of the men teachers. SPIDER WEBS AND ACOUSTICS. Scientist Claims There Is Value in the Thin Threads. There is hope for the spider. Hitherto he has been evily regarded as a predatory parasite, which toils not though he spins; his toils and his casties in the air have been rudely breached by the long broom of the housemaid. But he may yet come into his own, for Dr. Javal suggests that the gossamer tissues with which this artist among insect craftsmen hang our ceilings may have acoustic virtues. Speaking recently at the opening sitting of the Paris Academy of Medicine in its new hall (which is acoustically deficient), he told a story of a public hall in England which was noted for its acoustic properties until in an unhappy moment the ceiling was given a spring cleaning, and a clean sweep made of all the spider's webs and, with them, of the hall's good name. The doctor does not suggest installations of spider's webs, but thinks it might be a good thing to hang cotton threads over the auditorium. WAIVED RIGHTS AS A SON. True Journalistic Spirit Evinced by Young Corbin. Gen. Corbin's son is a newspaper reporter in Washington. The other day he was sent to the Adjutant General's office and found the door closed against all comers. He pulled from his pocket a card with his name and the paper he represented on it, and asked the messenger to carry it in. A moment later the messenger returned with the information: "Gen. Corbin says he hasn't time to talk to reporters just now, but if his son Rutherford is outside he will be glad to see him." "I'm not his son Rutherford on this occasion, so I'll just lay for him here as he comes out," replied the youngster, determined not to sacrifice the chance for a "story" to a personal interview with "the governor." Imitates Mrs. Asior A certain comic opera soprano in New York is causing much annoyance to Mrs. John Jacob Astor by imitating that young fashion leader in every way possible. In dress, walk, equipage and manner does the stage celebrity show this "sincereest form of flattery." The climax came last week when the woman of fashion added to her stable accountments a horse cover of fine seal leather with the Astor crest wrought inconspicuously in brass in one corner. Every one waited for the burlesque queen to do likewise. The next time she appeared, her horse was covered by the leather trappings. But the crest way as big as a sancer. Looking for a Royal Senator Mason's son, Roderick, was not at all robust in his babyhood so his parents encouraged him in all sorts of exercise. The boy grew to be quite sturdy and took so kindly to the punching bag that he became considerable of a little pugilist. In fact, he whipped most of the boys when he first went to school. After Congressman Hopkins was elected to succeed Senator Mason the family of the latter began preparations for leaving the capital. They were discussing prospects one evening, when Roderick, after a long period of reflection, said: "Mammas, has Mr. Hopkins a boy of about my size?" Gen. Grosvenor's Scribiquet. Representative Champ Clark has a new sobriquet for Gen Grosvenor, which he has applied in debate before the house. "Out in Onio," says Mr. Clark, "and even beyond the confines of that state my friend bears the sobriquet of 'Old Figgers.' The other day I happened to be standing down in the hall by the postoffice. An old employee of the House was talking to a 'tenderfoot.' The General swept by in his majesty, tenderly fondling his prophet's beard, and the old employee said to the newcomer: "There goes the stud bug of arithmetic." The chronic borrower seldom pays a man back in his own coin. W. F. BATES, Manager. J. W. FISHER Secretary. THE TWO WALTERS WITH THE Oriel Club, 917 Baltimore Ave. Kansas City, Mo.

Sometimes her wistful fancy strews the floor (Birch carpeted and neat) with broken toys; Paints finger prints on window glass and door, Hears echoes of shrill laughter and rude noise; All that a tired mother might deplore Would seem to her starved heart as priceless joyal Till, from the world without, some sudden note Of childish voices through her vision rings, And sobs of anguish rise to her white throat, Round which no dimpled arm in mischief clings; Gone are the sweet dream-fancies, as may float From earth to heaven the flash of angel wings. And yet, no little empty crib is there To mock the mother arms, outstretched in vain, She hoards no shining tress of silken hair, No tiny grave where buried hopes lie slain; Only the deeper loss she has to bear Upon whose heart no babe of hers has lain. Gratitude A Soldier's Gratitude by the arm, motioned his prisoner to walk ahead, and the three went on a half trot into the office of a hotel across the street. Kavanaugh throw a $2 bill before the clerk and ordered a room. He hurried the astounded Jack Bacon and the prisoner into the apartment on the second floor. "Jack," said Kavanaugh, in a low tone, "as you love me, watch this man. I must see Norah Desmond. She's off for Florida. Take this gun and don't fall me," and with that First Lieutenant Robert Emmett ```markdown ``` Kavanaugh shoved a revolver into Jack Bacon's hand, bolted through the door out of the hotel and on to a trolley car. In twenty minutes he was with Norah Desmond, who was in the midst of the last hour of preparation for her Florida trip. In twenty minutes more the door bell of the flat rang violently. The maid opened it, and in rushed Jack Bacon, flushed and fairly beside himself. "Bob," he yelled, "your prisoner skipped. He kicked open a door into the next room and jumped onto a low roof and then into the alley. I took a pot shot at him, but missed, and when I got down he was clean gone." Bob Kavanaugh sank into a chair, his face pale. "Norah," he said, "this means court-martial and dismissal for me unless I can catch the fellow. It's a clean case of neglect of duty. It's all up, dear, if I don't get him, and if I'm kicked out of the army I don't know what I'll do. But this won't catch him. I'm off, but I will be at the train to say good-bye,' and Kavanaugh was out of the door and down the stairs four steps at a time. Over on Halsted street in a room above a store a pretty, pale girl sat talking to a soldier in uniform. "It's all up, Polly," he was saying. "I hit the 'top' sergeant. He deserved it, but I was put in arrest and was to be tried, and it meant two years. I just cut away from a 'cit' whom the officer who had me in tow left me in care of." "Oh, this is awful, Jim," said the girl, "and you'll be a deserter, too." "I won't get any more for that than I'll get for the other." Then suddenly changing the subject the soldier asked: "How's your mother?" "Better, Jim, but she'd have died if it hadn't been for Miss Norah Desmond. She's an angel, I had to stop work to nurse mother, and the money gave out and I got sick, and Miss Norah gave us a nurse and a doctor and did lots else. I think she saved my life, too." "Norah Desmond, Polly? That's the name of the girl the lieutenant I cut from is to marry. He'll be disgraced and the girl will suffer. She saved you and your mother, did she, Polly. Get on your things, quick. She leaves for Florida. I know the train. The lieutenant'll be there, I know that. Hurry, girl." Lieut. Robert Emmett Kavanaugh was kissing Norah Desmond good-by. Just then from behind him came a voice loud and with something of a ring of humor in it. "Sir, all are present and accounted for." Kavanaugh turned like a flash. There stood Private Spencer saluting with his right CHILDREN. First Leutenant Robert Emmett Kavanaugh was pacing up and down his narrow quarters in Fort Grady, Michigan, holding a telegram in his hand. He had read it twenty times, but at every second turn in his nervous walk he read it again. The telegram was dated Chicago, and this is what it said: "Leave Thursday for Florida; Uncle Frank ill. Stay indefinite, Norah Desmond." Leut. Bob Emmett and Norah Desmond were engaged. They were to be married as soon as a few accommodating superior officers would consent to be killed off or die in their bees and thereby give Bob a chance to write captain instead of leutenant before his name on the official papers. "Norah's going to Florida," he muttered to himself. "I haven't seen her for three weeks and won't see her for six months to come. Uncle Frank is one of the kind who never dies and who never gets well, and Norah'll stay down there until the old man is willing to let her go. She's more of a stickler for duty than Old Muggs, the commanding officer, and that's saying a lot. He won't give me a leave; I've had too many. Great Winfield Scott, but I would like to see Norah before she goes." And Lleut. Robert Emmett Kavanah sighed. Bob Kavanaugh couldn't keep anything to himself, and in five minutes he was telling his woes to Capt. Percy Lanyard of the artillery corps, "Brace up, Kavanaugh," said Lanyard; "Muggs is going to send a general prisoner through Chicago to Fort Sheridan to stand trial. It isn't a very pleasant duty, but if you'll volunteer, I think Muggs will send you, and you can stop off on our way back from Fort Sheridan—it is only a few miles from Chicago—and see your blue-eyed Norah before she gets on the Florida limited." Twelve hours from that time Bob Kavanaugh was sitting in a smoking car on a Chicago bound train, with a big Colt revolver strapped around him and an enlisted man, with a downcast look, sitting alongside of him. Bob Kavanaugh had a soft heart. The soldier at his side had eight years of service and had never been in trouble before. He had assaulted the "top" sergeant, a serious offense in the army, as may go without saying. Part of a freight train went into the ditch ahead of the Fort Grady passenger train. Kavanaugh and his prisoner were delayed five hours. Finally the way was cleared and the train ran on to Chicago. It was Thursday, and in four hours Norah's train would leave for Florida. It was utterly impossible for the officer to get his prisoner to Fort Sheridan and to return in time to say goodby to his fiancee. Kavanaugh and his charge stepped from the train into the Chicago depot. Bob's heart was sore. "I must OCTOBER 1914 "Norah's going to Florida," he muttered to himself. see her," he said to himself. "I can't stand it for six months." At that instant he saw at the depot cfgar stand, making a purchase, Jack Bacon, a Chicago club man, and an intimate friend. Kavanaugh hurried his charges over toward the young fellow, "Jack, old man, glad to see you. You have an hour or two to spare, I know you have; don't say no," and with this the lieutenant grabbed his friend "I took a shot at him. . . . hand, while his left was holding that of a very pretty girl. "Spencer, you're a brick," said Kavanaugh, and nothing but army training kept him from slapping his inferior on the back. "I'll use every official friend I have to get you out of your scrape." A year later in pleasant quarters at Fort Grady sat Capt. Kavanaugh and his wife. "Norah," he said, "First Sergeant James Spencer has applied for a furlough to go to Chicago to get married. Shall I approve the application?" "Bob, if you don't," said Norah, with her eyes daunting. "I'll get a divorce." STRENUOUS LIFE IN NAVY. Trophies and Athletic Equipment for Jackies of the Mispouri The strenuous life is now extending to the navy and at a quick pace. Some time ago Secretary Moody, as a result of a conversation with the President, promulgated an order authorizing the issue to any ship whose commander should report to the department that his crew has a well-developed athletic organization, of certain sporting paraphernalia appropriate to the character of certain games in which the men excel, and of a series of prizes or trophies for which they may contend. This has been acted upon by the battleship Missouri, with the result that orders have been issued for her equipment with two punching bags, twenty-four baseballs, four footballs, twelve bats, twelve broadswords, six sets of eight-ounce boxing gloves, six sets of fencing foils, twenty-four ball-players' suits, and an adequate supply of masks, gloves, protectors, etc., for all probable requirements. The suits are to have the name of the ship across the breasts of the shirts. This move has been made, not only in the belief that athletic exercises are good for the men who indulge in them, but that the interest exerted by competition between the ships' crews in many sports will tend to take the place of less wholesome entertainments when the men are ashore. The pride of each ship in its own crack sportsmen will add to the esprit de corps and the hope is that the moral tone of the whole navy will be raised by the new plan in spite of occasional abuses which will doubtless be inevitable.-New York Post. HE SAW NO SCARCITY. How Lord Milner Took Expensive Bath at Johannesburg. Some of the unfortunate happenings in South Africa were caused by the failure of officials in high places to note warning conditions which were obvious to people occupying less exalted points of view. Some time before war was declared there was a water famine in Johannesburg. The city fairly gasped with thirst. The citizens had other grievances, and it was decided to invite Lord Milner to Johannesburg, and lay matters before him. The first morning after his arrival he amazed the hotel attendants by ordering a bath. Bathing was a luxury, which even the rich were denied at that time. Poor people had to go unwashed, while the wealthy dipped daintily into basins filled with imported English soda water at two shillings a bottle. But Lord Milner's orders could not be ignored. "Fill the tub with soda water!" exclaimed the proprietor. So Lord Milner splashed, all unconscious of the drought and panic his ablutions had brought upon the rest of the establishment. Later that day, among the grievances submitted to him was the woeful scarcity of water. "Scarcity of water?" he repeated. "I've observed no scarcity, gentlemen; I had my bath this morning."

The car was crowded. A pretty girl was discussing the performance with an elderly woman. Next to her was a finely dressed man, who had dined "not wisely but too well." For blocks and blocks he kept his eyes fastened on the back of the pretty girl's head, hardly ever winking. Pretty soon every one in the car was doing the same, wondering what on earth could be the matter. The girl finally turned around, and the man, with elaborate courtesy, lifted his hat. "Then you won't marry me?" he said with all sorrowness. No, I won't. Shipped the girl. "So sorry," murmured the man, and repeating this phrase, he backed to the rear of the car, lifting his hat each time he spoke. Reaching the platform, he sighed profoundly, bowed once too often, and fell off the car.—New York Press. THE ODD CORNER Famous Mormon Hill Is Sold. The famous "Mormon Hill," near Newark, N. Y., on which Joseph Smith asserted he found the golden plates of the "Book of Mormon," and the Urim and Thummim, has recently been sold, as part of a farm, to Walter J. Hunt. James Wilson was the former owner. The elders of the Mormon church in Utah have made several attempts to secure possession of the hill. Smith had his manuscript published in 1830 at Palmyra, and he averred that the golden plates disap Train peared mysteriously soon afterward. The original manuscript is now in a bank vault at Richmond, Mo. Testing the Will Power There is a wonderful little instrument which is called the myergesthesiometer, invented by Prof. Elmer Gates, to test a person's will power. The individual takes hold of the handle and repeatedly pulls the cord, which unwinds from a pulley, and owing to the nature of the mechanism, the pull requires a uniform amount of energy throughout the whole length of the motion. Gradually, however, and unknown to the individual, the instrument is made to move, for example, one-fifth harder, and so on, until the energy-difference between the original and more difficult motion is perceptible to the person. The more practice a person has with such an instrument the greater becomes the mind's capacity to will its attention to the feelings of muscular energy. Briefly, the object is to make the intellectual functions respond quicker than they or dinarily do by a process of training Queer Matrimonial Arrangement Queen Matrimonial Arrangement. Two girls—twins sisters from the mountains of Tennessee—have gone to Vinita, I. T., to meet a man at that place who has agreed to marry the one who makes the best impression upon him at their meeting. This is a case where the parties were brought into communication through the agency of a matrimonial paper. Both girls sent their photos, but the would-be groom could not make up his mind which he liked best, so sent money for both to come, that he might make his choice between them. To prove that his intentions were all right the territory man sent money for the girl's big brother to come along and see that everything was square. A Weighty Club. A society of some weight has just been established in Marselles under the title of the "Cent-Kilos de Marseille." The main condition of membership is that no one shall be eligible whose weight is less than 100 kilos (about 188t.). The officers, it need scarcely be added, have been elected by weight also. The president turns the scale at 145 kilos, the secretary at 138. With a weight of 136 kilos it would appear no easy task for the treasurer to decamp in a hurry with any of the society's funds. So far the roll of membership runs to about thirty.—London Answers. Odd Vehicle. The inventor of this vehicle says it will carry four people, without counting the driver.

Yours for a Clear Head BROMO-SELTZER 10¢ SOLD EVERYWHERE NEVER SAW SUCH LARGE YIELDS The Climate Is Healthy—The Winters Are Pleasant in Western Canada. Writing from Stirling, Alberta, to one of the agents representing the Canadian Government free homestead lands, Mr. M. Pickrell, formerly of Beechwood, Ky., says of Western Canada: "In the first place we will say that the summer season is just lovely indeed. As to the winter, well, we never experienced finer weather than we are now enjoying. We have just returned from Northern Alberta, and will say that we found the weather to be very mild, the air dry, fresh and invigorating. Considering everything we can say that the winters here are most pleasant, healthy and enjoyable to what they are in the States. Here it gets cold and continues so till spring —there are no disagreeable winds. In South Alberta it is some warmer—two to four inches of snow may fall and in a few hours a Chinook wind comes along, evaporating the entire snow, leaving terra firma perfectly dry; in fact, we did not believe this part until we came and saw for ourselves and we now know what we herein write to be just as we write it. There has not been a day this winter that I could not work out doors. Farmers here are calculating on starting the plow the first of March. "As to farm wages, we would not advise a man to come here with the expectation of living by his day's work, but all who do want a home I advise to have nerve enough to get up and come, for there never has been, and may never be again, such a grand opportunity for a man to get a home almost free. "As to the crops, I have been in the fields before harvest, saw the grass put up and the grain harvested, and I never saw such large yields. I saw cats near Edmonton over six feet tall that yielded 80 bushels per acre, and I talked to a farmer near St. Albert who had a field year before last that averaged 110 bushels per acre and weighed 43 pounds to the bushel. All other crops would run in proportion—as to potatoes and vegetables, the turnout was enormous. I have such reports as the above from all sections that I have visited, and that has been every community between the Edmonton district and Raymond, in the Lethbridge district. "As to stock raising, I would advise a man to locate in this place, or any place, in South Alberta, but for mixed farming I would say go up farther north, say near Lacombe, Wetaskiwin or Edmonton, where it is not quite so dry and where there is some timber to be had. I will say that nowhere have I ever seen a better opportunity for a man, whether he has money or not, to obtain a home. Nowhere can be found a more productive soil, better water and a better governed country than Western Canada affords. Inducements to the home-seeker are unexcelled. I met two men near Ponoka on the C. & E. R. R., who borrowed the money to pay for their homestead, and in four years those two men sold their farms—one for $2,500, the other for $3,000. I met a man near Wetaskiwin who landed here with 25 cents six years ago. He is now worth $8,000. The advantages for ranching are excellent. In fact, I do not believe this section can be beat. Markets are good; as to living, a family can live as cheap here as they can in the States. The average yield of oats in this neighborhood last year was 70 bushels per acre; wheat averaged 35, barley 40, and the beet crop was good. In consequence of the successful cultivation of the beet a large beet sugar factory is being erected at Raymond, seven miles from here. "In conclusion I will say that N. W. T. from Manitoba to a long distance north of Edmonton produces most wonderful crops. Lakes and rivers abound with fish, and game is plentiful. And that this is unquestionably the country for a man to come to if he desires to better his condition in life. I would advise the prospective settler to look over the Lethbridge, Lacombe, Wetaskiwin and Edmonton districts before locating. "I will locate in the Edmonton district next fall and several families from the States will locate with me. In the meantime I will receive my mail here and will be pleased to give the interested all the information desired."

A stone coffin, containing the remains of a man and woman, was discovered while plowing a field at Templethorpe Farm, Temple Newsam, near Leeds, England, recently. The remains, which are in a wonderful state of preservation, are thought to date from the Roman period. Near the spot where the coffin was found the foundations of a building, said to be that of a temple, were brought to light. Surprise for the Parson. A clergyman having occasion to go to London before Christmas, his wife asked him to buy a text for the gallery of the church for the Christmas decorations, according to "The King." He was very busy and forgot about all it till just before leaving, so wired for instructions to his wife as to words and dimensions. She wired back the following message: "Unto us a son is born, nine feet long by three feet high."

Knows How He Stands Chauncey M. Depew's fad is clippings. Several bureaus furnish him with all that the newspapers say about him, and he always knows exactly how he appears in the public eye POWER OF THE HYPNOTIST. Scientific Wonder Disconcerted by Subsequent Happening. It was last Friday afternoon, while I was going up Columbus avenue in an electric car, that a man entered, at Sixty-fifth street, and took a seat directly opposite me. At the next corner another man entered, and, for want of a seat, held to a strap. "Fares!" cried the conductor as he held his open hand in front of the newcomer, who shook his head. "Give me a seat, and I will pay," said the passenger. "Pay or I will put you off," answered the conductor. "Try it and I will throw you through the window," replied the passenger. The usual talk indulged in under such circumstances began, and the other passengers took apparent interest in it. The man who had entered at Sixty-fifth street got into quite a discussion with the passenger next to him, and after a minute it ended by each of them displaying a five dollar note. "Hold on, conductor!" said the Sixty-fifth street man. I can put that brute off without any trouble. Here hold these bills, and if I get him to go they are mire, and if I don't give them to this man." The conductor, glad to be relieved, took the money, and the Sixty-fifth street man began to make gentle passes with wigging fingers in front of the non-fare-paying passenger's face. Then he gently beckoned him as he moved backward, and, much to our astonishment, the man who wouldn't pay followed him to the street. Leaving him standing there in an apparently dazed condition, the hypnotist boarded the car, got his ten dollars, and away he went. At the next corner I got off, and so did the hypnotist. He walked down the street, met the man he had put off the car and the two entered a corner saloon.—New York Tribune. ARE CITIES ONLY IN NAME. Some Aspiring Municipalities Are So Small as to Be Ridiculous. The recently completed census of the United States reveals some singular facts relative to the towns and cities that compose the nation at large. There are quite a number of so-called "cities" which are so ridiculously small in population as to make it a matter of wonder and amazement that they are really cities. The populations of a few such cities may be given as illustrations. The city of Johnson, Kan., has a population of only fifteen and the population of the city of Coronado, in the same state, is even less, being only ten. There are several cities in Kansas which have very diminutive populations, as follows: Bird, 88; Brainerd, 70; Ford, 82; Freeport, 83; Horace, 90; Hugonot, 54; Richfield, 61; Tribune, 62; Ulysses, 40. The city of Sloam Springs, Mo., has a population or 98. The city of Brigantine, N. J., has a population of 99, but, small as is the population of that city, it is nearly five times as large as that of the city of Lavalette, in the same state, which has a population of only 21. The city which exceeds all the others in the diminutiveness of its population is the city of Rainy Lake, Minn., which has a population of only 7. Old Frost. 'Tis time to assemble humanity's clan And join to give battle the best that we can. We'll build us a fortress in charity's name And rejoice in a victory worthy our fame Skating on Water. It would seem that skating on water may be successfully accomplished. A German inventor has made a 100-mile journey with water shoes on the surface of the River Danube. The shoes are clyndrical in shape, and are made of aluminum to give them extreme lightness. They are several feet long, and are propelled by a treading movement, which causes four oar-shaped wings to revolve. The inventor claims that he can travel on water three times as fast as he can walk on land and that locomotion is as safe or rough water as on smooth. He hopes to have the shoes made a part of every well-regulated life-saving station. Didn't Know There Was a War Didn't Know There Was a War. After the announcement of the British success at Teel-El-Kebir the guns in St. James' park, London, were not fired, and Mr. Gladstone, who was prime minister at the time, wrote to ask his war minister why the guns were silent. He himself, Mr. Gladstone added, had had them fired for the Indian victories in 1846. There was a neat turning of the tables in the reply Mr. Gladstone had told the house of commons that there was no legal status of war with any recognized state or power and his secretary for war wrote back that the only excuse the war office had was that, relying on the premier's statement, "we have hitherto believed that we have not been at war."

The fact that fishes, after the loss of the ears, lose their equilibrium, but still respond to sounds, led to the belief that the ear in fishes was for equilibration, and that fish hear through the contact of sound waves with their skin. Now Parker of the United States fish commission has demonstrated that the fundulous heterocitus hears after the nervous connector between the skin and brain is severed. Possibility of Human Diversity. According to permutation, the forty-two individual or genetic instincts of which the human mind is composed may combine in 2,810,012,235,505,759, 797,086,855,212,489,023,129,540,768,000, 000,000 different ways, which will account for all the diversity of the human family in the past at present, and for millions of years in the future. The Growth of America. In the 70s England produced three times as much iron and steel as the United States. Later on Germany contested British supremacy and passed her record of production. In 1902 the United States produced more iron than England and Germany combined, with enough left over to equal about the product of France. Mechanical Milker Satisfactory The Elgin dairy report says, in speaking of the Lawrence-Kennedy nursing machine, a New Zealand invention; "So far as the experience of users has gone the results are of such a satisfactory nature as to justify the belief that at length the mechanical milker has arrived." Pleads for Industrial School The Rev. Edward S. Tead, secretary of the Congregational Educational society, states that there is urgent demand for an industrial school among the Spanish-speaking Mexicans of New Mexico of the same kind as that for negroes at Tuskegee and Hampton.
