Some six months ago the Methodist
church of Muncie, Ind, adopted an
anti-high hat regulation, at the earnest
solicitation of the pastor, but word
comes that it has practically failed in
operation, although it had the sanction
of the official board of the church. For
a short time every woman in the con-
gregation removed her headgear, but by
degrees the women rebelled, until now
less than one-half of the women bare
their heads when the services begin.
The backsliders appear to be very much
in earnest, too, and pulpit appeals and
threats are made in vain. They wear
their hats defantly, and condemn the
restriction as a curtailment of personal
liberty. Probably the only way to bring
about a reform in hat wearing is for
the men to begin to sit through sermons
with covered heads.

une.)
Particulars of the acquisition of the
legendary abode of the Virgin Mary at
Jerusalem by the German Catholics
which the emperor announced in course
of his Palestine trip, have thrown fresh
light on the recent scandal in connec-
ton with the sale of a cemetery in Je-
rusalem. Collins were said to have
been exhumed, and the bodies dismem-
bered and packed in small boxes, and
reinterred elsewhere. The names of
the purchasers of the cemetery and the
particulars of the transaction have
been concealed. 1t now comes to light
that the cemetery formed part of the
site of the abode of the Virgin Mary,
and was bought by the German Cath
olics in confident anticipation of an ar
rangement by which the sultan, in or
der to oblige Emperor William, would
place them in possession of the rest of
the property, which was in the hands
of Mussulmans, who were forced to sell
under order of the sultan.

ADJUSTMENTS.

During the remainder of the week,
the Grand will have no opposition, and
the advance sale is exceedingly
promising. Last night the little
theatre held one of the biggest audi
ences in it's history. ''The DaZzler' is

good humor-and audiences are not
slow to reflect the mood.

Chimes of Normandy next Monday
afternoon and evening. The company
is working on a new opera which will
be produced some time in February.

Eddie Foy, the comedian, spent

strolling past the large insane asylum

he was startled by low "Histp' and
on looking up saw one of the worst

peering over the wall. Eddie was not
frightened, for he did not think the
maniac could scale the wall, but he
quickened his pace. He had proceeded
but a short distance when he heard q
scrambling, and on looking saw that
the madman had climbed over the wall
and was following him. Eddie walked
fast, but the maniac, who was an i'm

demoniac look, walked faster. Foy trot-
ted little, and the madman trotted
after him. Eddie finally broke into q
run and was Mortified to see that his
pursuer was not only running also, but
was gaining steadily. Eddie is not much

made remarkable time, but soon Foy
could hear the labored breathing of his

NEW PUNCTUATION MARX.

A Badly Needed Invention Suggested by
the Caustic Copy Reader.
II shall be famous l have an idea
that will send my name laundering
down through the ages,' remarked the
copy reader.
"Humphf' replied the humorist. 1T
will be the first idea you have ever had.
You spend most of your time destroying
the good ideas of others. +"
''Well, that may be, although you
never have any idea to destroy, seeing
that you get those which you have from
Joe Miller's jokebook and the old al
manacs .
s'Oh, we'll, let's have your ideal''
To tell the truth, it was suggested
to me by you. =
'Ahl thought as much, and yet you
say
Don t be in too big a hurry. You
haven't heard my idea. +"
"What is it?''
II have invented punctuation
mark for humor. It is intended to show
the reader where to laugh. In olden
times, you know, the point of the joke
used to be printed in italics. Nowadays
there is no way to show the point, and,
assmany of the jokes, such as yours,
have 10 point, it is impossible to print
the point in italics Now, Isuggest that
punctuation mark be placed at the be-
ginning and at the end of everything
supposed to be funny, SO that the reader
may be prepared to laugh when he be-
gins to read and know when he has
reached the point and it is time to
laugh. would suggest that the mark
be two little squares placed above the
line, and shall call it by my name.
What do you think of that for an idea2
1t was suggested by your stuff, as 1 told
you.
But the humorist had given the copy
reader a look of scorn and had vanished.

Rahhfta That Climb.

A correspondent writes to the London
Field that while he was hunting rabbits
with ferrets i'll January he found rabbits
ON three occasions in willow trees which
overhung the water of a mill stream.
The miller said that it was not an un-
usual circumstance. Some months ago
The Field told of sother rabbits which
had been shot, like raecoons or opos-
sums. out Of trees in England. In re-
cent years cases of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency,
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story of rabbits as climbers.
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out of certain tracts of land in
Australia was by the building of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes SO small that the beasts could
not crawl through. and being SO high
that they could not jump over. The rab-
bits have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Some of the rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and then great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top of the
fence had to be bent over like j up
side down, with the hook out, so that
the rodents could not get over the top,
