bell thought the thousand years might be-

Mr.. Miller figured it down to 1871, and the

Burroughs. of Indiana, has lately over
hauled the calculations and discovered
that they made an error Of just one cen
tury and that the climax is to come in
1913. So even the "WAite Caps" will have
time to repent. Joe Smith set this very
year as the date, while the ''Iown prophets"
OF Il few years since named 1887, and tho

make low courtesy AID kiss the queens
hand, which she places in the palm of their
hand. If the queen condcscends to kiss an
untitled person this person must not ex-
pect to return a kiss in kind, but must
only kiss her hand. OF course lady, be-
