Once Jourdain was a workman, pam

sum provided for in any policy issued by
the company. The company refused the
payment on the grounds that when the ac-
cident occurred Mr.. Fowler had not been
accepted as a risk. The defense urged al
the trial that il was a very unusual thing
for "A man TO seek accident insurance and
pick out the very best the company could
grant and in Just seven days afterward

court sustained the position of the compa-

Fow.er took out another accident insur-

City, Tenn, Mr.. Fowler lost his other

At.anta Journal: In Jones' history of
Georgia there is statement to the effect
that one Samuel Delk settled in July. III.
on the Ogeechee river, a I what was known
as Morgans ferry, and in August, while
! absent from him Indians came and muir
dered his wife and four of his children. He
was brave soldier of the revolution. Col.
w. c. Glenn says that he is in receipt OF
letter from a gentleman in Augusta
calling his attention TO the fact of Samue.
Delks settlement on the Ogeechee river.
and that ne knows Taylor Delk is a direct
descendant of Samuel Deik. Samue, Delk
was a soldier in the American revolution.
The Delks, 50 Col. Glenn says moved to
Pike county seventy years ago, and have
lived in the house where the Killing of
Sheriff Quinn took place during al these
years. According to this Mrs. Taylor,
who now lives in an humble little two-room
cottage on D'Alvigny street, has a right
to become a member of the Daughters of
the American Revolution.

London-Any morning you may see in

who will strike you as being weakened,
poor, crippled and sad, seekers at once

is remarkable of all the houses in the
street which is far from fashionable, for

bears only the word "Jourdain." Simply
"Jourdain." whoever "Jourdain" is, one
is assured at sight that he has most ex.
cellent taste for Montmartre, though that
question never entered his head, as he will
tell you himself. His fame has become
so great among those who seek physlc
and consolation as to make more unnec-
essary. Neither he nor NJ. Felix Faure
needs a first name for identification.
You will find the old man inside, along
with patients whose turn came before

When Jourdain's nephew marshals a

sixty days, and now l am a well woman.

learned by experience its fortunes.
She says:

worst case of catarrh that 1 ever

doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in

ton grew worse steadily.

that / was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that ali the inside of my nose, includ-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurab1e, and
told me l would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. $. S., l determined to
try it as a last resort. soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment

THE FIRST CHURCH STOVES.
A Great Contest over the stove cues
ton in n Connecticut Town.
From the Evangelist.


The story of the Litchfeld stove and its
recent discovery is of much historical in
terest. The earliest version know of was
given by S. G.. Goodrich ("Peter Parley')
in his "Recollections of Lifetime" pub
lished in 1856. Mr.. Goodrich was born in
Ridgeheld, Conn., I'm 1893 and his recollec-
tions of early times run back to the be-
ginning of the century and even before.
Perhaps your readers may like to see
his version of the stove story:
"One thing strikes me now with wonder,
and that is the general Indifference, in
those days, to the intensity of winter. No
doubt the climate was then more severe;
but, be that as II may, people seemed to
suffer less from II than at the present
stage. Nobody thought of staying at home
from church because of the extremity OF
the weather Let me tell YOU a
story, by the way, upon the meeting houses
Of those days. They were of wood and
senderly built. of course admitting some-
what freely the blast of the seasons. In
the severe winter days we only mitigated
the temperature by foot stoves, but these
were deemed effeminate luxuries, suited
to women and children. What would have
been thought of Dean Olmstead and Gran
Their Baldwin had they yielded to the
weakness of a foot stove?
The age OF comfortable meeting houses
and churches in country towns was SUBJ

years. All Improvement is gradual and
frequently advances only by conflict with
prejudice and victory over opposition In
a certain country town within my know
ledge. the introduction OF stoves into the
meeting house, about the year 1880, threat
ened to overturn society. The incident
may be worth detailing. for trihes often
throw light upon important subjects. In
this case the metropolis which we viii
call H, had adopted stoves in the
churches, and, naturally enough. some
people Of the neighboring town OF E. set
about introducing this custom into the

or less accumulates on the counters and
about the floors OF even the best regulated

This he has done by coaXing a flock OF
gay little sparrows to make free about the
place, catching the flies and picking up
the crumbs as they fall. This they do In
the busiest and jolliest manner possible,
making the little shop the liveliest and
quaintest place in the whole quarter.
1t is quite a drawing card for the wise
little baker, too. for somehow, folks like

Travellers in Mexico must have often remarked the singular beauty of the ia cade of the cathedral of Chihuahua. It is said to be the work of an artist who under sentence of death for some crime or another, was promised that he would not be put to death until his work was completed. For twenty one years he worked cutting into the stone the beau tiful imagery of hIs brain, always under the surveillance ot armed sentinels. At last he broke down and was obliged to notify the authorities that he could do no more and was ready to die. Then came pardon, but it was too late. He died shortly afterward. Though it is only POO years ago since the cathedral was built, the sculptor's name has been completely forgotten; only the magnificent sculpture and the tradition of how they were made remaining.-Ex.
