The reading public long ago gave up,
fancy, any hope of judging accurately
from the title Of a novel what it's con-
tends might be.
The really up-to-date writer finishes his
book, draws at random from a choice Sc
lection Of bizarre titles and recklessly
fastens the one chance has thus offered
him to the child of his brain and 1t goes
forth as unsuitably cognomened, as many
real child Is compelled to do.
"a Heaven kissing Hill does not for
a moment suggest the pretty romance of
a struggling but gifted artist and proud
society belle who hides beneath a cold
exterior most intense interest in art
and all that pertains to it, and an even
deeper interest in the man who, for her,
represents art.
Cruel parents have kept this fair young
damsel from hieing herself off to Paris,

trying to scale the difficult heighths of
Parnassus, the s'Heaven-Kissing HILL
All ends happily, of course. That is,
one of the novelist's good points. She
does not, like SO many other other young
writer's, harrow the souls of her readers
with sad but artistically effective part
ings, dun skies. waiting winds and other
so-called realistic effects. When you take
up one of her bookssyou know Immediate
ly that the heroine is going to be beau
tiful and wear exquisite frocks; that she
and the hero will have numerous misun-
derstandings, generally arising from the
heroine's abnormally developed sense Of
what is right and what is wrong, and
that finally all will be forgotten in the
merry peal of wedding bells and a swag-
ger wedding.
But Miss Magruder has other good
points. She writes an entertaining So
ciety novel without any Of the cynicsm
it is the fashion nowadays to affect, and
a "Heaven-kissing Hill is almost en-
tirely free from the gush that married
her earlier efforts. 1t is a pretty ro-
nance, told in pure English by writer
of some talent; just the sort of a book
to while away an afternoon when April
forgets her pose of the smiling maiden
and frowns darkly on the world.

Rev. John s CrOxton Dead.
The last issue of this paper, an
nouncing the serious illness from

had scarcely been issued from the
press before the angel Death had
laid his icy hand upon this good
man and summoned him to his re-

lief.
Not in years has a death occa-
stoned such universal sorrow in
Lancaster county. One of Lam
casters nobleSt, truest, purest and
best sons has fallen one who was
known, esteemed and loved
throughout the county.
John S. Croxton was born in
this county, May 6, 1881, and
had just passed the 68th wear of
his eventful and useful life. In
young manhood he strove to get
an education and succeeded by his
untiring efforts. He married Miss
Eliza Castor, q sister of the late
A M CASTOR of this county.
Eleven children were born to
them, three of whom died in
childhood and were waiting to
greet the ssinted father on the
bright shores of eternity. Eight
children survive Rev a Nj Cro1 /.

W l. Croxton of kershaw, E. c.,
Oscar and Manly Croxton of Heath
Spring, Ms H p Mobley of Heath
Spring, Mrs. NJ w Rankin of
Nswberry, and Miss May Crox-
ton.
Mr.. Croxton joined the Bap-
tist church at Fork Hill about so
years ago and for more than 35
years was minister of the Cos
pei. 1t is remarkable that during
his long ministerial career he was
continually the pastor of churches
in his native county. At the time
of his death he was pastor of four
cburches-Heath Spring, Antioch,
White Bluff and Fork Hil-the
latter church he had been serving
as pastor for 33 consecutive years.
He was prominent in the councils
of his church, and for 25 wears
was successively reelected Mod.
orator of the Moriah Baptist AS
sociation. He was always greet
ed at the annual State Baptist con-
Ventlons as one of the most prom
inent and eminent ministers of the
State, and when he spoke in any
gathering all ears would hearken
to what Rev John S Croxton had
to say. He was strong man in
tellectually and his better has
probably never lived in Lancaster
county. We wish space would
permit the teiling of all the good
he has done. His good deeds, his
kindly counsels, bis arduous work
for the Master ison every tongue.
Bot the half has not been told. 1t
will only be revealed in the great
final day when the mighty throng
robed in white shall testify before
the Throne.

Mr.. Croxton were conducted at

ing at II O'Clock. Rev. Jabez
Farris conducted the service and

WHIP DOG DAY.

The custom Of whipping dogs out of
church on St. Luke's day is of very
ancient origin; indeed, some have tried
to make out that it dates from the
time of the Romans, contention with
which Drake does not agree. In the
history of York the traditional ac-
count of the origin is given, to the
effect that at a time long prior to the
Reformation priest, while celebrat-
ing mass on some festival IN some
church, in York, dropped the pyx after
conservation, and the wafer was prompt
lv snatched up and devoured by dog
which had been lying concealed under
the altar. The PROCLAMATION of this
high mystery occasioned the death of
the dog. A persecution began, and
has since continued on St. Luke's day.
Unfortunately, the date is not given
on which the priest dropped the pyx
but it must have been in the very re-
mote past, as in the middle of the six
teenth century whipping dogs out of
church was recognized function and
the dog whipper a recognized official.
Richard Dovey, of Farmcote, Glover
ley, granted in August, 1859, certain
premises to ohm Sanders on certain
conditions, one being that he would
yearly pay the sum of eight shillings
to poor man of that parish who
would undertake to awaken sleepers
and to whip out dogs from the church
of Cloverly at divine service. Here
and there lands have been devised
for the endowment of the dog whip
per's office, one instance being near
Chislet, in Kent. 1t is we'll known
that the custom of taking dogs to
church is very old one; some of the
Dutch artists, in representing the in
terror of church, Invariably intro
duced dog, while in Landseer's pic
ture, "The Free Church." dogs are
in evidence. In Peterborough Cath
edral there is, or was, life size like
ness of Scarlett, who was sexton, and
in his waistbelt is thrust his dog whip
while in church near Bakewell a dog
whip is preserved. The throng is
about three feet long; the short stock
is of ash, around the handle Of which
is band of twisted leather.
