A Bishop MISTAKEN FOR A KUKLux.-
The southern negroes, in their horror of
Kuklux mysteries, are particularly fearful
of graveyards. They have always been
superstitious in this regard, but now they
will not 90 within mile of cemetery.
An amusing story is told about Bishop
Beckwith, of Georgia, who had occasion
some time ago to visit remote portion of
his diocese.
There were not many Episcopalians in
that region of Georgia; but few Of the
whites had ever seen q successor Of the
Apostles, and the negroes did not know
what sort of creature bishop was. 1t
soon became noised about that on certain
evening the Bishop would arrive, and hold
services in church of certain village of
the above district, and the whole neighbor-
hood was filled with curiosity to go and see
the queer animal that read prayers out
Of book. The negroes were especially
excited, and they determined to attend
the church in mass. The house of
worship was not an Episcopal church ;
consequently it had no vestry room in which
the bishop could put on his vestments.
This difficulty was, however, remedied by
some ones suggesting that the bishop should
robe himself behind the church and come
round and enter ut the front door. So he
sent friend with his surplice, who placed
it behind tombstone, where it would be at
hand when he should require it. Long
before the time designated for the opening
services the little church had become filed
with the whites of the vicinity, and the
negroes, finding that there was no room for
them inside, stood packed before the door.
The bishop at the appointed time entered
the graveyard by the back gate, went
up to the tombstone, and donned his
episcopal vestures. The wind was blow
ing rather fresh, and just as he turned the
corner Of the church q flaw spread out his
white robes. A negro Immediately bawled
out, "Kuklux Kuklux " They all looked
around and beheld the Haunting white gar
ments approaching the whole crowd took
to their heels, shrieking "Kuklux " In
ten seconds not a single darby could be
seen, but the sound of their footsteps in the
distance fell upon the ear, and for half an
hour afterwards could be heard the terrible
words, 3" Kuklux =" kuklux far off in
the country, as the affrighted crowd were
making for their homes.

WESTON AND Hrs CouSTERFEIT-AN
AMUSING HoAx.-Bwlington, w., Febru-
airy lon Saturday evening fictitious
Weston passed through this city, clad in
military uniform, and followed by three
two-horse sleighs. A multitude of persons
walked with him through the city, and he
left US amid the light of bonfires, asserting
that he would rest over Sunday in Swanton
Falls, thirty-two miles distant. This morn
ing the genuine Weston came into the city,
having walked from New Haven Centre,
Addison county, to this place, a distance of
thirty-two miles, before breakfast. The
whole city was astonished. Mayor Ballou,
who had paid his respects to the sham
Weston, called on the real pedestrian at his
hotel, and after O short conversation be-
came satisfied that he had hold of the genu'
inc article. The affair has created much
indignation. 1t is said that the walkist was
pcrsonatcd by two students of the Burling-
ton college, who took turns IN walking
through the various towns and villages, and
rode through the country in sleigh.
The real Weston is now nearly two days
behind time, and is much annoyed by the
sham affair ahead of him. 1t is reported
that the people of st. Adams have been
humhugccd in the same manner. Weston
left here at 1920, and will walk hence to
Rousc's Point, N. Y, 535 miles from Ban
COR, before stopping. He is still confident
of making up lost time. The young lady
who followed the sham Weston twenty-five
miles in cutter for the purpose of pre- :
senting him with pair Of woollen gloves Of
her own manufacture is greatly mortified.
Her brother threatens vengeance on the
mischieyous students.
