Did Not APPRECIATE Rnmor.

Some people have poor appreciation
of humor. This must be an awful load
to carry through life. On one of our re-
cent crisp cold days Bohemian and his
friend stood in front Of the Sturtevant
House holding down the sidewalk while
they thought about what they should dc
next. One of the two was smoking. The
other held an unlighted cigar between
his teeth. A cable car came along, then a
horse car with front platform crowded
with smokers. The sight of it revived in
the mind of the Bohemian a faint shadow
OF an ancient joke. He smiled and sud-
denly beckoned energetically to man
on the front platform. AS soon as the
man saw that he was the one wanted he
jumped off and came back TO where the
Bohemian was standing.
Give me q light. please" said the lat
ter gravely. Thanks
why, confound your impudence !
You didn't cali Inc off that car TO have me
give you light?"
Now, don't get red-headed about it,''
replied the joker, calmly. There's a
cable car right behind"
But the jokee was one of those curious
fellows who have no appreciation of
humor. He hauled off with his right and
big oath, and down fell the joker-either
hit by the oath OF the fist, he did not
know which.
Now, don't get red-hot about it,'' said
the other fellow. You can catch an
ambulance around the corner" And he
broke for the cars again.
THAT joke looked very funny when I
read it in the newspapers" said the Bo-
hemian, as his friend busted him off and
led him into the hotel, but the thing
doesn't seem to work right, does it pm.

Taxes in Italy.

There is not a more heavily or a more
unjustly taxed people ih Europe than the
Italians. No foreigner who has not tray
eled through the peninsula can conceive
the depths of misery that are connoted
there by that hated word taxes Thou
sands of little households struggling
braveiy for mere existence in the poorer
districts, especially in Sicily and Calabria,
are annually swept away into space for
the non-payment of such paltry sums as
half crown, a shilling. ninepence, half
penny These are the miserable outcasts
who turn organ-grlnders in London,
farm laborers and galley slaves in Brazil,
and targets for French revolvers in
Aigues- Mortes.
The unsettled state of Sicily, where life
and property are no longer secure, is at once
an eloquent testimony to the intolerable
sufferings of the people, and an emphatic
condemnation of the rapaciousness of the
Government. Nor is it in Sicily only
that the sinister effects of this wanton
slaughter of the hen that laid the golden
eggs are noticeable. In most country
districts of the Peninsula one hears the
same sad story of ravenous Government
harpies snatching the scanty food from
the shrunken hands of the hungry labor
ers who famish in filth and perish in
despair. And yet. in spite of this, in
creased taxation is an absolute necessity.

QUAINT OLD CHURCH
Built by Indiana Methodists in 1S04
and is Still Standing.

!
/ and is Still Standing.
Timber from one of the first clearings
in the great Indiana forest went into the
structure of Methodist Church. The
old log chapel, now almost entirely for
/ gotten. still stands near the place where
! the settlers raised it, three miles north oi
! Charlestown. 1t is tb sssole remaining
relic of the first days of Methodism in
Indiana. From the humble beginning
within its walls hundreds of churches
| have sprung.
The best account. writes Moore's Hill
! correspondent of the indianapolis NelCS.
state that the first church was built about
1893 or 1904 by Nathan Robertson. Ma
than Robertson came from Kentuck y
with his family in 1899. and settled on the
military grant not far from Charlestown.
Peter Cartwright came into the settle
ment to preach, and Robertson and his
sons We're moved to build church. The
sons felled the trees and the father hewed
the logs.
Moses Ashworth, whose name has come
down in Methodist annals as a hard
working preacher, was the first minister
In the charge. Two other churches were
built, which Ashworth combined in his
Silver creek circuit. Silver creek circuit
covered field where there are now
eighty-eight churches and 10000 mem
bers.
One of the churches on Silver creek cir
cult was called Buckeye Chapel. because
it was built entirely of buckeye logs. It
stood on the banks of Fourteen-Mile
! creek. Several years ago dispute arose
In which 1t was claimed that this buckeye
chapel was really the first Methodist
Church built in the State. During the
discussion it was settled once and for all
that Robertson's Chapel, near Charles
town, is the oldest Methodist Church in
Indiana.
In the church at Charlestown a few
weeks ago an old peoples service was
held. Old songs were sung, and in
speeches old history was revived. The
records of the church showed complete
list of the preachers there from Moses
Ashworth and the year 1903. Among the
names on the church books which have
been prominent through all generations,
since meetings were first held in the log
chapel of the settlement, are the Robert
sons, PratherS, SwartZeS. GarnerS, Chit
woods, Botorffs and others.
Robertson's Chapel, it is strange to say,
did not have a prominent place in the
celebration. 1t has apparently been for
gotten by the people of Charlestown,
forgotten even by the Methodists there.
One would suppose that the greatest his
torical interest would be attached to the
old chapel by all memb bers of the church.
1t is doubtful, however, if third OF the
Methodists in Charlestown can tell where
the first Methodist Church in the State
now stands-almost under their noses.
The church has been cut by all its ac-
quaintances, having sunk to the level Of
stable. AT the time it was photographed
for the NelCS it was the shelter OF one
mule and parcel OF, corn-fodder.

Where il Is Cold.

"Talk about your cold weather. said a
travelling man just from the Northwest,
''you ought to see it out there once.'
The crowd shivered and pulled up
closer to the stove.
81 had a friend up in North Dakota -
he went on, who sent to Ohio for Cor
don setter last fall, and expected to have
some fine hunting with him. In Janu-
ary l stopped over in his town one day,
and went To his house to see him. Going
up the lawn, | noticed one of the best
specimens of terra Gotta work L ever saw.
1t was dog, standing near the front

"'What terra Gotta dog?' said he, going

the dog to him.
"He looked at it for minute or two
intently and started outside.

She Had a Good Chance to Try Canned
Lobster.
A woman whose face was wan and
pinched went into big Main-street gro
Gerry store the other day and looked
around curiously. She was poorly
dressed, and had tattered shawl thrown
over her head.
After walking all through the store,
she approached a counter and asked /:
"Where are the canned goods ?''
The clerk directed her to the counter
and she walked over. What can [ do
for you, madam ?' asked the man who
had charge of that department.
Have you any canned lobster?" she
asked.
"Yes."
How much is it ?'
She was told the price
She looked at a slip of paper she had
in her hand and paused for moment.
Then she said 81 will take four cans. -
The clerk gotdoWn four cans of the best
Holsters and wrapped them up for her.
The woman slowed them away under
her shawl and gave the clerk i'll payment
an order from one of the charitable soci-
eties for a dollars worth of groceries.
The clerk was dumfounded. He looked
at the order and then at the woman.
whats the matter?" she asked; "Isn't
the order good?"
"Yes; it's perfectly good, but-but--"
but what?" asked the woman, sharply.
Don't you think that a sack of flour or
something of the kind would be more
suitable for you to bay?"
MAYBE it would" she answered. "We
haven't had anything to eat at my house
for two days, but [ never tasted any
canned lobster, and l don't know as I
ever will get another chance to tase it,
either.'
And she walked out of the store. tightly
