I desire to explain to you that one
half the proceeds of this exhibition are
to go to the one-legged Indians of the
West. 1t is a one-legged appeal to
two-legged humanity. There are in the
great West no less than 127 Indians
who have only one leg apiece. The gov
eminent refuses to furnish them with
wooden substitutes. They must go
hopping about on one leg or sit still.
There are churches for them. but in
their sensitiveness they refuse to hop
to Sunday services. and are thus de-
prived of that consolation which the
rest of us enjoy. There are schools for
their children, but they reIuse to let
the children attend, fearing that the
teachers may ask them how their hop
per fathers are getting along. AS
work Of humanity and love, l would
buy 127 wooden legs ana put these In
dams on plane with their fellow-men.

The man who discovered how to cook
planked shad was greater than Gov-

At the end Of seven or eight min
utes Mr. Bowser gave his fish another
basting and his face fairly beamed as
he rubbed his hands and chuckled:
Great scheme of mine to have plank
ed shad for dinner to-day! I'm hun
CRY for the first time in a month. You
thought I'd make mess of it, but just

There was one more basting. Mr..
Bowser seemed delighted with the
doors from the oven as he opened the
door, but Mrs. Bowser shifted suspic
iously and braced herself for trouble.
Ten minutes later, as she had her part
of the dinner on the table, Mr.. Bowser
removed his prize dish from the oven
and laid the plank on platter and put
a frill of water-cress around it. Then
the blandness Of his countenance was
something to remember as he bore the
dish in triumph to the dinner table and
said:
Behold the Kings dish, For the
first time in our lives we are to partake

sighed for. What have you got your

Mrs. Bowser had to give in. She re-
allied that anything she might say
would only make him the more deter
mined, and there was one chance in
hundred that he might possibly cook
the fish so that it could be eaten. While
she was clearing away the breakfast
mgs Mr.. Bowsef gave her some in
rmation about shaG-their habits and
eharacteristics-how a shad differed
from a whale on the one hand and a
chicken on the other-why a planked
shad was not a fried shad, ETC.. ETC.
When he had finished, he said:
II will now prepare my plank, but
shall not start in to cook the fish I'M
ill half an hour before dinner. You
had better watch operations closely
and learn all you can.

She looked up and waited for him to
finish. He wanted to make her re-
sponsible, of course, but he alone had
handled that fish at every stage of the
game. and he hesitated to accuse her.

asked.
He laid down the knife and fork,
glared across the table at her for a
long minute, and then slowly and with
dignity passed up stairsto the hall-rack,
clapped on his hat and picked up his
cane, and she he,.d the front door slam

piled Mr.. Bowser. "a plank is a

pectus of the Boston, Chicago and Ma
Mia Air Line Railroad, and the pro-
moter has just arrived in the philip
pines to work things up. The native
worked him up instead. When my art
ist arrived on the spot and secured this
snapshot he learned that there had
been a grave mistake. The native hsN
sized his victim up as an agent of the
Hemp Trust, and speared him under a
apprehension. 1t gives me pleasure
to inform you, however, that the pro-

solemnly promised to kill none but mis-

THIS is STRICTLY TRUE.
Must be, of Course, Because Minister
Tells It.

A clergyman who for many years was
the beloved pastor of one of the largest
Presbyterian churches in Buffalo re-
Gently came back to town to renew old
acquaintance and preach a sermon to
his old parishioners. OF course, he was
entertained by such of his friends as
could get hold of him, and after a quiet
little dinner at a pleasant home, the
other evening, he sat for a while on the
porch aEd. as ministers among old
friends often do, told a story or two,
and the one which l will attempt to re-
late as he told it concerns one of his
sons, who has been pastor of a church
in Pittsfield, Mass, for not very many
months and who has many dear friends
himself in Buffalo.
when R went to Pittsfield," said
the father, "he told me that he was 60
ing to try to build UP his church, the
members of which were largely work
ing people, by attending assiduously to
his pastoral duties aside from his regu-
lar work in the church. He even went
SO far as to announce from the pulpit
that a certain day in the week would
find him in such and such neighbor-
hood and that the people in that section
of the town might expect pastoral
call from him.
This sort of thing was decided in
novation and created more Or less eX-
element of a mild kind among the par
ishioners. In the locality he designated
for his calls on a certain day dweIt a
young Mrs. Smith, who had a daughter
of the kindergarten age. Mrs. Smith put
on her Sunday gown in anticipation of
the visit and after arraying her daugh-
ter in her best frock thought that
little coaching as to the child's be-
havior would not be amiss.
Now, when the pastor comes she
said, he will probably say, We'll, little
girl, what is your name?" What would

''To this suggestion the child gave
strictly orthodox answer and the next
moment R appeared ON the scene.
He at first did not see the child. but
stood talking to the mother and in the
meantime Susie had learned her lesson
we'll and had begun to fidget around to
attract the attention she thought she
deserved. She was fairly bursting TO be
heard, when R turned and caught
sight of her. Well he said cheerfully,
here's a little lady l haven't met yet,
and going to her he proved her mothers
foresight by adding, And what's your
name?'
