Rev. S. "a. Graham Will Retain His Old
Charge at Bellevue
The congregation of the Bellevue United
Presbyterian Church decided last night by
atwo-thirds vote to retain their pastor, Rev.
S. III. Graham. Rev. Mr.. Graham had pre-
sented his resignation to his congregation
because four members had withdrawn from
the church. They gave no reason for leav-
ing, and one of Mr.. Grsham's friends said
last night that he wished to know II the
congregation as whole were dissatisfied
with him.
The question of accepting or rejecting the
resignation was put to vote with little dis
cussion, and it took but short time for the
congregation to decide that they desired Mr..
Graham to continue as pastor.

A Good Irpe,

Ministers in New England villages are not usually the recipients of liberal sala- ries, and the number of marriages in a year is seldom large enough to make the fees much of an addition to the slender sum. The fees themselves are apt to be slight, and sometimes are omitted alto gether, although the clergyman is usual ly presented with some little ''remem- brance" of the happy occasion.
 One clergyman has good many anus ing stories to tell of his wedding ex- periences," but he once received we'd ding fee which has never been dupli- cated, and which, he says, lasted ten times as long as any other which was ever given him.
 He performed the ceremony which united the daughter of the Widow Rob bins, the thriftiest housewife of his par. ish, to poor but estimable young man, whom the widow had selected for her son-in-law, and with whom her daughter had dutifully fallen in love.
 The wedding was merry one, and as the officiating clergyman" was putting on his coat in the hall, ready to start for home, the Widow Robbins hustled out to him and said: "l sent Harry over with your fee about half an hour ago, MT, Lathrop. l told him people wouldn't miss the groom for few minutes, and sure enough they didn't. He said he gave it to your wife, and hope-you'll like it; you always haver'
 Mir. Lathrop murmured his thanks and hurried home to be greeted by his wife, whom a severe cold had kept in the house, in voice shaking with sup pressed laughter.
 Where is my fee% demanded the clergyman. Il hear it has been put in your keeping"
 Its on the dining room table," fal- tered his wife,
 He strode out to the dining room, and there on the table were ranged four rows of glass jars, three in each row; they were well filled, and labeled re- spectively, "currant jelly, "chii sauce," sweet pickles" and last but not least, raspberry jam"
 "We had a good laugh, of course" says Mir Lathrop, but we also had some of that fee the very next day, and we never enjoyed one better. ."-'
