for the Republican party, and without
which the Administration of Harrison

appoints these people to Offices in the

action will stir up trouble"

Old Kings Chapel.

But my heart went out TO Kings
Chapel. / felt upon entering that L
must kneel in silent prayer, writes
correspondent of the Parkersburg w.
Va Inder. 1t is a plain square stone
building with square tower, nothing
attractive from the outside except its
quaintness and Gods acre adjoining it.
But, upon entering it, the beautiful
chancel windows, which are modern
and of the famous Munich glass, the
high square pews, no two alike, fur
nished with arm rests and little closets
to keep the prayer books in, the mural
tablets, the Queen Anne communion
service the old pulpit with its sound
ing-board The Book of Common
Prayer, 1866, is just as clean and new
as ever, so superior is the paper and
binding. Communion table and chairs
over 200 years old. Clock 1913 years
old, set fiat in the organ loft, and, be-
ing wound regularly, never loses time.
The sexton, Mr.. Robert Hamilton
Keer, has held that position for TWEEN
ty-one years, and knows the chapel
from to lizard" and loves every
spot in it. Through his courtesy saw
everything in it, even to notice taken
from the register when CLARK Hill paid
for a gug which he broak He also
showed how the electric lights were
turned on as well as the water for the
organ; then raising the organ lid, he
asked me to play. Trembling, Iplayed,
"Son of My Soul" and L felt as if I'd
had IAN honor thrust upon me-" The
organ is not very large, originally had
two banks of keys, but third has been
added. 1t was selected by Handel, and
is 135 years old. 1t has a gilt crown in
the center, miters on either end, and

Gen. Washington entered this church
was in his youth, when he came to an
nounce to Gov. Shirley the death of
his son. There is bust of Lady
Shirley, which il, as she was, noted for
its beauty. The burying ground is
now unused, excepting by old fam
lilies who have been connected with the
congregation for centuries, who are al
lowed to use the vaults. We could
have spent hours in this sacred spot.

and they have practically been untouched
by man. If Peru were as densely peO-
pied as New York, IL would have sixty
millions Of people, or about as many as
the United States and Territories now
have, and the resources Of the country
would give such a population work
enough TO do. These resources are prac-
tically unknown 20 most people, but
when they are properly appreciated
capital and directive ability will seek
that region and bring its wondrous
wealth to light. The policy of Euro
pean countries has been to furnish cheap
fabrics to these people ana prevent
manufacturing. The Pcruvians are

pendence, and are planning railroads and

Two Odd Lawsuits.

"We have some odd lawsuits in the
South. There was a case at Dahomey
some time ago which may interest you"
said gentleman recently. 1.-Two me-
groes claimed little NANCY pig that
was not worth over 80 cents. One of
them was minister of the Baptist
Church, the other an elder of the Meth
odist Church.
II got hint that bad blood was
brewing between the denominations, so
/ sent for the negroes and tried TO quiet
them, but the Baptist congregation
had notified the minister that unless
he brought the other negro before the
law he would be dismissed from their
pulpit. The Methodists, on the other
hand. told their elder they would expel
him from the church If he did not bring
the Baptist minister before the law.
"The issues were joined, and neither
man nor devil could have stopped the
quarrel after that. They went into
court, each engaging lawyers and sum-
moning clouds of witnesses and entail
ing expenses as though 81, 000 000were
at stake. The case ran along in one
way or another for three years, when
they compromised, each agreeing to
pay half the costs. Court costs, law
yers' fees and all amounted to over
81 900, and meanwhile, within week
after the suit was brought, the pig died
from disease and starvation.
"There was famous case in Talla-
hatchie County, Miss, between two
white men over duck, continued the
narrator. "The bird was what we call
a puddle duck. very similar in appear
ance to the mallard. One of the white
men. while out shooting, killed a pud
die duck, thinking 1t was mallard.
The man to whom the duck belonged
thought it was an act of righteousness.
He instituted suit for damages, W hich
remained in court seven or eight years.
"The duck was worth twenty cents.
The costs of the court and attorneys
fees amounted to over $4,000, and was
finally compromised by each party
paying half"-NeW York Press.

nearly all th(Ifru!ts and vegetables Of

lection. The alfalfa grass grows peren-

THE cINcHoNA TREE.
The bark OF this tree was first gather
ed I'm Peru for making quinine, but the
trees were wastefully destroyed, as ma
tives and ignorant people always destroy
such gifts of nature. The savage cuts
down tree of century's growth in
order TO gather few nuts. On this
plan the cinchona tree was destroyed.
Under the auspices of the British Gov
eminent the trees were introduced into
India. and from this cultivated stock the
worlds present supply of quinine Is now
largely derived.
Peru has deposits OF salt almost pure
and OF sufficient magnitude to supply the
whole world, yet the salt used by the
people is of English manufacture. Peru
will soon have the labor and skill with
which to utilize these salt deposits, at
least for the needs of South America.
There are fields of gypsum and vast de-
posits of sulphur nearly pure. There
are limitless deposits OF asphalt, and
no doubt vast reservoirs OF petroleum.

The Peruvians will not use our i'm

Two ladies paused in their shoppi
in New York the other day and
cussed the advisability of hay
luncheon In restaurant. One OF
ladies was resident of New York al
the other was friend from out
town. The New York lady was acting\
the part of hostess, and she was anx-
ious to provide for her friend luncheon
that would be pleasing. After little
hesitation the ladies entered an attrac-
tive uptown restaurant and picked out
cozy seat near the window. They
did not know exactly what the wanted,
but they wanted something that would
taste good, and so informed the waiter.
That important functionery was in
clined to be trife Indifferent but the
keen-witted New York Lady quietly
slipped fifty cents into his hand with
the coaxing remark: Nov. won't YOU
get us up q nice little luncheon?" The
surprised waiter unbent ut once. and
after few questions rs to what the
ladies liked, and did not like, he start
ed kitchenward in very amiable mood.
The result was very dainty and we'll
served luncheon, and the ladies' expert
enced delightful sense of comfort.

an observing gentleman, who sat at a
table not far distant, to friend AL
most every man will tip his waiter In n

wait until they have finished their

woman seldom tips waiter, but when
she does she generally does it before
