A Do2-Face Chicken.

Tom Gibson bought a lot OF
Plymouth Rock chickens from a
farmer and to-day he discovered,
after he had killed them, a super
natural dog-face hen. 1t had a nose
exactly like a canine and its mouth
also resembled that Of an old bull
dog. 1t was a miraculous face that
old hen had on her and if Mr.. Glib
son had known it before she was
killed he would have bought her a
dog collar and kept her for a
curiosity.

session three weeks at the Baptist
church closed this morning with
twenty-five additions to the church
twenty-five Of whom were miners
ed. Rev. Bibb is a very earnest
speaker and worked faithfully in the
meeting.
The supper given last Thursday
night under the auspices of the

There were about 200 suppers
served. The ladies prepared a most
bountiful feast, enough to have fed
twice as many. There is no town
that can beat the Laddonia ladies in
charitable work. OF course there
are a few always that don't love to
give, but the number Ia small In
Laddonia. There was about $40
taken in.
The mill prospect has grown
brighter and at present it looks like
we would have it ready to grind the
fall wheat.
Laddonia shows signs of improve
ments during the coming spring.

The Press and Heresy.

=. y. Burrell, OF New York City, il
q recent sermon speaking Of III,
sensationalism of heresy, gives ut
terance to this oft observed fact
"The cheapest popularity in these
times Is to be won by repudiatins
the symbols which we're solemnly
espoused in the ordination vow
The crowd runs together to see q
man strike his mother church inthe
breast. A breach of common hon.
esty in the pulpit will win immediate
applause from those who are not in
cordial sympathy with truth and
righteousness. The man who re-.
sorts to this sensational device
is neither a worthy minister nor an
honest man."
A defender of the prosecution in
the recent Briggs trials has como
from an unlocked for quarter. We
have not his name but note that he
is a minister in the Unitarian
church, a church noted, as we all
know, for its "liberal" theology. At
any rate whoever he may be he is
certainly an honest man and knows
fair play when he sees it. He says,
Il think the attitude of the prosecu-
ton in the heresy trials is more re-
spectacle than that of the defend
ants" As even McCook said the
other day, 1--WE r not trying DR..
Briggs on the question whether his
opinions are right or wrong, but
whether his opinions are consistent
with the Presbyterian standards he
no has swsrn to maintain. The won
der of all is that DR.. Briggs, who
seems to DO q progressive scholar
and q man OF courage in uttering
his thoughts, has not the further
discernment to see that the prose-
cution is right, that his opinions
are not in accordance with Prssby-
tsrisnism. The wonder is that he
apparently wants to remain a Pres
bytsrian."
The man il right. The Prssby-
terrain church has no wish to say
what DR.. Briggs shall or shall not
believe. But she has the right to
demand OF him, and all other MIN
listers so long as they remain in her
fold, that they either uphold her doc
trinss or else step down and out.
That's fair.
The secular press gets in this con-
nection . sharp dig under the fifth
rib from a St. Louis minister who is
well known for plainness of speech.
He says, "The secular press, so far
as observed, almost without excep-
ton, assails the prosecution in the
Briggs trial as a savage prosecution,
and holds up to the public ridicule
those who are seeking to maintain
the Westminster confession of faith,
which DR.. Briggs promised under
oath to defend. OF course if q man
in tho Democratic party assails the
principles of the party or if a Re-
publican sneers at the position
taken by the Republicans, or # a
Free Mason or Odd Fellow protests
against the views and aims of these
organizations the same press would
vigorously shout kick him out.
But 1t is equally true that some sec,
ular newspapers and a majority Of
the religious papers do not recog.
nize the right of a church to insist
that It's preachers and professors
shall not aim to subvert its doc
trines. Such, however, is the in
herent meanness of human nature
and it is not worth while to make 8
fuss about it." K. Y. q.
