that it had been said to him pleasantly
that he was the intensest Methodist

perhaps they would be of like mind.

The papers of Monday spoke of
blizzards and deep SHOWS in the West
and Canada, and frost throughout the
Southern States. Since Friday it has
been cold here, the thermometer
dropping below the freezing point
every night. There is scarcely any
appearance of Spring in garden or
field. Fortunately there has been no
rain for a week, the threatened storm
of yesterday passing away, but the
cold north wind remains.

it was known last week that the res
ldence of Rev. A.. Stengle, of George
town, was robbed while he and Mrs.
Stengle were away at Conference. but
the full particulars only came out in
the Union Republican on Saturday
last. 1t says: Saturday night moth
ing was disturbed. Sunday night.
while George Stengle and Miss Bertha
were attending services in the M. r..
church, the house was again entered
and ransacked from top to bottom.
Trunks were torn open and the con-
tents left scattered over the floor.
While they were at work George Stem
gle returned home and finding evidence
of burglary at once gave an alarm.
The unknown party made enough
noise in the house to be distinctly
heard, and yet in spite of the fact that
the house was almost immediately sur
rounded, they managed to escape.
Sometime early Monday morning the
kitchen door was opened from the in
side and it is thought that the burglars
remained concealed in the house until
that time. Nothing was missing ex-
cept some provisions. The unknown
visitors evidently enjoyed their mid
night lunch by the sitting-room fire, as
they. left their scraps on the floor. -
Their numerous friends here are glad
to know that though the disturbance
was great, the loss was comparatively
trifiing.

Lift Your Hat.

An exchange says: Lift your hat
reverently when you meet the teacher
of the primary school. She is the great
angel of the republic. She takes the
bantling fresh from the home nest, full
of pouts and passions, an ungovernable
little wretch whose own mother honestly
admits that she is glad to part with her
pet for whole day. The lady who
knows her business takes whole car
load of these anarchists, any of whom,
single. handed and alone, is more than a
match for his parenIs, and at once puts
them in way of being useful aud up
right young men and women and
eventually good citizens. But, my
dear parents, did you ever stop
to think at what expense and
toll, patience and soul WEAKNESS to the
gentle and painstaking primary teacher?
Lift your hat to her!"

=. B.com. IN. Property Of Parishes.

The recent decision of the supreme
court In the suit brought by Arch
bishop Katzer, of the Milwaukee do
cese, for the purposed of securing a re-
turn of taxes assessed against property
owned by him, which he claimed was
church property, held in trust, has
brought about radical change. Ac-
cording to the decision, property, even
when held in trust, by the archbishop,
is subject to taxation. As it has been
the custom for all the property in the
diocese to be held by the archbishop,
who, on his death, wills it to his sue
cessor, it is readily seen what the de-
cision would mean. He has ordered
that all the parishes in his diocese be
Incorporated, after which the property
will be decided to them by the arch
bishop and the title will hereafter rest
with the parish instead of the bishop
of the diocese.
