TREES IN CHURCH.
A Curious Little Story With Respect to
the .sMan of Ross"

Curious Little Story With Respect to
the ..Man of Ross"
Trees are common enough in church
yards, but a tree inside a church is
something of rarity. A correspon-
dent, however, informs us that there
are two trees growing inside the old
church of Ross of Herefordshire.
They sprang up near the seat for
merly occupied by man named John
Kyrle, who acquired fame and distinc-
ton many years ago by expanding a
modest fortune in works of public use
fulness These chiefly took the form
of planting elm trees in his native
town. in order to brighten and i'm
prove its appearance work which
has since been carried on and extern
ded by the Kyrle society. In conse-
quence of these operations kyrle be
came known as the MAN Of Ross
Many years later it was found nee
essary to cut down some of the elm
trees near the church, and d curious
thing then happened Immediately
after the trees We're destroyed two
elm trees sprang up inside the church
close to the seat which the Man of
Ross used to occupy when he atten-
ded divine service there. The trees
were allowed to grow in this strange
spot and may still be seen by visitors
to the town.

THEIR EFFORTS IN VAIN.
Two Hundred Misdirected Letters of Mon
Inclined to Flirt.


Inclined to Flirt-
There appeared recently in an At
anita paper letter addressed to
Captain Connolly the chief of police,
and signed by young lady who rep
resented herself to be Miss Annie
Barnhill, of Rock Hill, S. c. The let
ter was highly sensational in its char
acter, and was in the nature of an
effort on the part of the young lady in
question to obtain a husband. 1t was
modestly written and the verbiage
was excellent.
The effect of such a letter on large
community of bachelors and widowers
was easy to be imagined. The letter
was no sooner printed and read than
the brilliant opportunity became the
prevailing topic of conversation.
Nearly every one who was in posi-
ton to give the letter consideration
decided that an answer would at least
do no harm, and possibly great bo-
nanza, capital prize" in the lottery
of life might be the result
Quietly a large number of individ
uals sat down and proceeded to indite
a reply to the fair creature of South
Carolina Unhappily, however, in
stead of addressing their letters to
Rock Hill they were all addressed to
Rose Hill This was due to typo
graphical error, and instead of going
to their intended destination in the
Palmetto state, they were rudely
turned aside into the dead letter Office
of Uncle Sam at Washington city.
Two hundred of these letters were
turned into the dead letter office the

Modern Life of Caesar.

A boy in one of the Detroit public
schools recently handed in this compost
ton on Julius Caesar:
Julius Cesar was a Roman citizen. He
wasn't much at first. but he growed up
with the country and after while he
punched the conventions and got elected
boss. One Fourth of July or something
Cesar vent up to the capitol to see about
a bill. A mar met him on the steps and
told him to beware of the ides Of March.
Cesar laughed .'Ha. ha." and told the
man to depress the front of his west
cot and went OF into the big joint.
Some time afterward he came out
again and adjourned to the S. P. Q.
R. saloon, where IA lot Of Roman SEN
ators, members and Office seekers were
leaning up against the counter. Caesar
offered to pay for the drinks. but
nobody accepted his invitation, and he
dropped to the fact that there was blood
IN the moon. Then somebody said some-
thing about his not having paid his ferri-
age when he crossed the Rubicon. and
butcher knives began flying through the
atmosphere. Pretty o. Caesar saw
Brutus. his next door neighbor, coming
at him with n sticker and that paralyzed
him. What has ct yon, Brute!' he ex-
claimed and laid right down, and in a
few minutes the patrol wagon drove up
TO the door. just the same. you bet,
Caesar was no SLOUGH. Vale. Jule!-De-
