His remarks evoked a storm of pro-

QUEER DOINGS IN HEAVEN

A curious story of credulity and
superstition has been brought to
light in a recent trial for fraud be-
fore Bavarian court, says the New
York Sun.
About year ago a farm manag-
er named Kotterich, living in the
little town of Kaufbeuren, lost by
death daughter who was cripple.
Soon after, one of his neighbors, a
Frau Wohlfarther, the wife of a
mechanic, began to communicate to
the family letters from heaven die
tated to her or left at her bedside
by the Virgin Mary, and asking for
money or objects of value. The
Kotterich family has received forty
eight letters and has complied with
the requests contained in them be-
fore the police got wind Of the
swindle and interfered
An early letter contained the
news that the little girl was married
in heaven, that she liked it there
and that she wished that the Virgin
would ask for dowry for her. The
Kotterichs gladly gave Frau Woh1-
farther the money and asked her to
send it for them. Then they were
informed that their daughter had
three children, who must be chris
tened and clad according to their
rank. After that the children re-
ceived the gift of a CHAPEL, but were
in need of an altar. Then strange
things happened in heaven; the
twelve apostles needed new clothes,
famine broke out and all the
angels would die of hunger unless
the Kotterichs sent pig, the angel
Gabriel lost his golden sword in
driving back the devils, the daugh-
ter committed deadly sin, and it
would take 1000 marks to save her
from purgatory.
The Virgin, however, made
presents from time to time. She
sent churn, later "a sofa, tor which
however, an upholsterer later sent
a bill; then she thought Frau Kot-
oerich needed new bonnet, but as
this came accompanied by the mil =.
liners bill, the good woman thought
it unkind. The family had deliver
ed 400 marks ($2, 1907 in cash,
besides many objects that cost much
money, to Frau Wohlfarther for the
Virgin, when their medium of com
munication with heaven was ar
rested.

SOME KIPLING MAXIMS.

A Kentish School Budget"
gives series of maxims from the
pen of Rudyard Kipling among
which are the following: IF you
have any doubts about a quantity,
cough. In three cases out of five
this will save you being asked to
say it again. when pursued
by the native farmer, always take
to the nearest plowland. Men
stick in burrows that boys can run
over" IF it is necessary to take
other peoples apples, do it on a
Sunday. You can put them inside
your topper, which is better than
trying to button them into a tight
Elton.
