Hard, indeed, is the way of the plae-
iarst in the realm of Afghanistan. Ac-
cording to recent reports from that
country. a certain Mira Ahmad was
brought before the Emir, charged with
misappropriation of public funds. In
the course of the trial it was discovered
that the defendant had been guilty OF
writing poetry which did not possess the
virtue of originality. This fact enraged
the Emir.
THE accusation of purloining public
money" declared his majesty in the de-
cision, "has not been proved. Fo.
that can not punish you. But l can
not excuse the theft of the ideas OF Laadi
and Hatfiz, the old poets. AS a penalty
l order your tongue pierced by long,
thick needles.
The poor writer was subjected to the
torture, and the Emr has little fear that
Mira will again attempt to force his
hexameters upon an "indulgent" mon.

"a powerful poor family came to our

RELIGIOUS sECTs IN AMERICA.

Some Of the Minor Den ON natl oms That
the Public Knows Little About.
Census Bulletin No. 1871 will possess q
peculiar attraction for those who are in.
terested in a study Of creeds, differences
of doctrinal opinions, and similar qres-
tions. 1t contains statistics of 2S churches
or religious denominations in the United
States Of which comparatively little is
known, in some instances the figures
never before having been given to the
public.
Among these are the twelve branches
of the Mennonites, the Dunkards, several
African branches of the Methodist
Church, Independent Churches of Christ,
Temple Society, Church of God, Latter
Day Saints, Shakers, etc. The Mennon-
ties are amog the oldest religious bodies
on this continent. The church was
founded by Memo Smons of Holland,
born the year America was discovered
and educated for Roman Catholic
priest. Attracted by the accounts of
Penns colony, party of Mennonites
crossed the ocean in 1858 and settled at
Germantown, Pa. All Mennonites ac-
cept the confession of faith adopted in
Holland in 1882.
The doctrines of the church, however,
are traced back through the Waldensians
of the l2th century, and the same faith
is followed to the earliest ages of the
Christian era. They have divided and
subdivided over minor questions into 12
denominations. The total number Of
churches is $50, the number Of commune
cants Al ,541. They represent class of
old religious peculiarities which arc
slowly but surely passing away.
The Dunkards, Tunkers, or German
Baptists trace their origin back for nearly
200 years to the province of Witgenstein,
Germany. They have subdivided into
Progressive, Conservatives, and Old Order
Brethern, and number less than 900
churches, with about $4,000 members.
The Independent Church of Christ came
into existence during the war, and had
its origin among an element who objected
to political preaching" 1t claims to be
non-partisan, non-sectarian, and monde
nominational. is found in II States, and
has 29l churches and membership of
1924.
The Temple Society of Friends of Jer-
usalem" was founded in Wurtembourg,
Germany, in 1858. They believe that
Christ will return and set up His king
dom in Jerusalem. They have one
church in Kansas and three in New York.
with $40 members. The Church of God
was founded by Elder John Winebrenncr
in Harrisburg, Pa, in 1880. 1t is an off
shoot of the German Reformed, and has
419 churches and 25,5ll members, who
oppose creeds and sects.
The reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, or polygamous
Mormons, claims to have been founded
in 1880 by Joseph Smith. They deny
the revelation of polygamy to Brigham
Young and disclaim all connection with
the Utah branch. They have 43l organ.

Nothing Is Certain but the Unfnrcseen.
Colonel Thomas f. Fisher tells Il story
which is good one. Among the first
railroads built in the United States WAS Il
little line about 20 miles in Iength. In
the course Of time a big tunnel line Was
constructed through the same country.
The original line became merely branch.
For many years it was run in Il cheap
way, with one locomotive, one engineer,
and two or three freight cars.
Finally. a new general manager was
appointed. He had not been in office but
week when he sent for the one lone
conductor who had held the position ever
since the road was built.
Il would like to have your resignation,
said the general manager when the con.
ductor appeared.
My resignation?" inquired the con.
ductor, in astonishment.
"Ges, sir; yours.
what for, pray?'
"Well, | want to make some changes
and get new blood in the line" was the
general managers reply.
Il won't resign" answered the con-
ductor.
"Then shall be compelled to discharge
you-a step which, for your sake, had
hoped would be saved from taking"
Young man, you will not discharge
me. own a controlling interest in the
stock of this railroad, and elect the prcsi-
dent and board of directors. Ishall have
you fired"
The old conductor did really own the
majority of the stock, and, as he said,
put in his own board of directors and
president.

The visitor explained that he wished
to learn the fate of his son, private in a

not unllindly, and drew from his pocket
a square of cardboard covered with dots.

Is Lydia; and across the street.
A lad with eyes of roguish azure.

And from the trellis over there
BioWs sundry kisses through the air,
Which miss the mark and fall unseen,
'ncared for. Lydia is thirteen.
My lad if you. without abuse.
WIZ take advice from one who's wiser,
And put your wisdom to more use
Than ever yet did your adviser;

Another's heartbreak serve for two,
You'll have a care some four years hence,
HOW you lounge there by yonder fence.
And blow those kisses through that screen
For Lydia will be seventeen.

the whole affair depended solely upon
his own austerity.
We'll there had been engaged for tho
occasion the services of fashionable

seated at dinner, and every fellow there
felt that he was sitting on a chair that
had no bottom to it.
"The first course was in order. There
were placed in front of each guest tiny
teacup and saucer. Then the waiter
passed along and filled these with tea
served from what looked like real sill

1T occurred to each one that tea was
an odd sort of first course, but of course
it occurred promptly to each one to keep
his mouth shut about the matter, and
not to appear that it was a new experi-
ence for him.
Some one started the sugar bowl and
tongs down the line, and each one de.
posted lump Of sugar in his cup.
