Things Personal.

The wav in which the Rev. Mr.. Sulli-
van, of Salem, Ohio, set about making
love to nice young married lady was as
clumsy as it was ridiculous. Instead OF
going directly to her and kissing her he
wrote her letter, in which he spoke of
hungering to press her pouting, pretty,
persimmon-like lips to his w on. Some
how or other this letter got abroad, with
the result of making things SO hot lor
Brother Sullivan that he had to resign
the pastorate of the methodist church of
Salem.
Father Peter John Beckx, the General
of the Order of Jesuits, is now in his S7th
year, and his declining health has oflate
given rise to much speculation concern
ing his probable successor. He has
been at the head of the order for nearly
thirty years, which is an unusually long
period, since it is the rule for only men
already we'll advanced in years to be
elevated to the position.
Writing to friend under date of Sep
tember 80, Congressman S. S. Cox said:
''This is my birthday. am fifty-eight
years old. The Congressional Directory
for the past twenty-five years has fur
nished the date, so that | am Tree to
speak of it. | am becoming rather
memory than hope daily. We do as
we grow older. For the loss of the gay,
luminous, all-bounding shrine of life's
morning we have the serene, reminis-
cent evening"
An English artist who saw Arab Pas
ha in Alexandria last winter has made a
word sketch of the Egyptian rebel that
is somewhat picturesque. "A tall,
heavy-faced man." he writes, ''sullen,
swarthy, with only pretty clear eye to
soften the general harshness of express
sion, and black mustache to hide a not
particularly finely curved mouth. His
legs are as unattractive as his face. The
underpinning looks too trail for the rest
of the body. He is bulky man; not
pussy or ,alstaffian in girth, but a broad,
thick-chested fellow, built on the lobster
pattern. Take him from his heavy head
to his spindle legs, Arab Pasha reminds
one more of a negro than OF the agree
able and pleasant-faced gentlemen one
meets among the Arabs and Egyptians"
The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution records

they married two other sisters, also
daughters of bishop, Bishop Price
These wives died and then they married
third pair of sisters, not daughters of q
bishop, but two sisters-being the daugh-
ters of Mr.. Smith of Greene county.
With these last sisters they are living
happily"
