POPULAR TRADITION.


A Missionary Who Was Sorry He Didn't
Give 1t Credence.
There was once an energetic and strong
minded missionary in the south seas who
took great deal Of interest in the folklore
of the island where he dwelt After years
OF study he made up his mind for good
and all that there was not a particle Of
fact In the legends protesting to be his
toric which he had laboriously gathered.
In distrust at his own Credulity, unwilling
TO let people know what a fool he had
been, be tossed his whole collection into
the fire. Some days afterward there was
a terrific hurricane The islanders had
told him that once upon time long ago
certain famous ohieftain used to sit on
stone bench beneath a tree which grew
close TO the mission house, That bench
had disappeared, no one knew when or
how, but In the days of heathendom they
used to place offerings to the spirit of the
old chief near the spot where 1t had stood
When the missionary sailed out on the
morning after the storm, the first object
he noticed was this tree overthrown, and
in the midst Of its upturned roots hung a
stone bench The reverend gentleman
Whiting was his name, If we remember
right-stoOd in a maze. The legend was
true, then Examination proved beyond a
doubt that the bench had rested against
the bOle of the tree in some distant age
for there was no trace of an inoisiOn. The
wood had grown smoothly round and over
it. So far as he could roughly compute
four centuries must have passed since it
stood outside the trunk For that time
the islanders had preserved the memory of
n circumstance so trifling, for to question
that this was the bench they assigned to
their mythic hero would have been silly.
And then the good man mourned his
haste He had destroyed the patient labor
of years because he would not credit thI
accounts of grave events given in all Sc
riousness by members of his flock, and &
proved that they were trustworthy ever
on such a detail as the personal habits o
a man who died 400 years agol-LondoI

BEFORE THE JUSTICES.

Benefits.

Justice Toomey on Saturday night gave
Judgment in favor of Eberhart Grosskettler
against st. Michael's Beneficial Society for

visiting Of public places during sickness had
been violated Mr. Grosskettler maintained

North Main street, and while there confined
his visits to that portion Of the house used
as a residence. Under this statement of
facts the Justice gave him Judgment. 1t is
said the society will appeal.

defendant and several of the witnesses were
well loaded with pay day elixir. The Justice
concluded to postpone the hearing until next
Wednesday evening. All the parties to the
suit reside at Turkey Run.

HATS r4A1 MuN WEAR.
Styles From the Primitive and Grotesque
to tic Chimneypot.


Natura's covering for the head Of man
sufllces for the savage and semioiyilized, |
but the Uranium that holds an enlightened |
mind cannot be exposed TO the elements
without danger. Hats were not used un-
til long after some of the primitive forms
Of head covering were common. The RO-
mans and Greeks commenced TO use bats
when on long journeys, and the art Of hat
making was we'll developed when the Nor
mans got a foothold In England. The
English people took readily to hats because
of the climate Of their country. The mo-
bles at first were the only persons who
could afford to wear "hattes of biever,"
and when they commenced TO decorate
them with great plumes the love Of dis
play common among all men at that time
led to immediate popularity for the hat.
1t was the men who had the big hats In
early days. It was fad of theirs, and
they got over 1t long ago, but while the
fad was at It's height the men made the
most of It, as witness this description Of
the hats worn by the men in the latter
part of the sixteenth century:
"Sometlmes they use them sharpe on
the orowne pearking up like the spire or
shaft of steeple, standing quarter of
! yard above the crowno Of theire heads;
some more, some lesse, as please the fan
tastes of their inconstant mindes. Other
some be 1at, and broade on the orowne,
/ like the battlemonts of house. Another
sorte have rounde crownes, sometimes
with one kind of bnnde, sometimes with
another; now black, now white, now
russed, now redde, now greene, now yell
1 low; now this, now that; never content
with one colour or fashion two daies to
! an end. p"
Then came the days of the broad brim-
med hats and finally the cooked hats, but
rovulsion came about century ago, and
the gentlemen of Florence introduced the
high silk hat with narrow brim. Early
in the present century the ohimneypot
hat as 1t is called in England, became the
fashionable hat to the exclusion of all
others It was evidently suited only for
4 dress occasions, but in England and In
America it has been worn by business and
professional men, often as mark Of the
profession or an affectation of special dig
nifty, The American stovepipe or tile and
the English chimneypot are neither com
Portable nor convenient, yet they have sur
yived Fashion is a stern dictator. Sioux

The trolley question, which has been
agitating the minds of the people of Ia
maqua for some time, prompted the Town
Council to hold another special meeting
The trolley company wanted to erect its
road through that town without paving
streets with yitrfed brick, and the Council
assumed the position that the company must
pave as fast as its tracks are put down.
The Borough Council receded from its former
position by granting concessions to the com
pany, thus removing all obstacles in the way
of the latter entering the borough. The
company is not compelled to pave with Wit
rifed brick
