kentuckian Thought the Episcopal Pre-
late a Pain Man.
Not long ago Bishop Dudley of Ken
lucky went to preach in little town
in the western part of the state, where
there are no Episcopal churches, and
only one, in fact, of any other denomi-
nation. The people are unfamiliar
with any but the plainest and most
simple church service and entirely un-
accustomed to the vestments which the
Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor Of
the only church. "a good, conscientious,
narrow minded man, hearing that the
bishop was coming on certain Sun
day to preach at the courthouse, told
some of the pillars of his eongrega-
ton that he hoped they would not de-
sert their own church to hear the
Episcopal service. On the appointed
Sunday what was the pastors surprise
to notice half of his flock absent, and
upon inquiry he learned that the court
house was thronged with the villag-
ers. The next day he met one of his
chief supporters, whose accustomed
seat had been vacant at the weekly
service, and the pastor questioned him
as to his whereabouts on Sunday. The
man replied that he had gone to hear
Bishop Dudley. What" replied the
clergyman. Desert me to hear that
pompous prelatel" You're mistaken
in the man." answered the culprlt
Bishop Dudley is no pompous pre-
late. He preached in his shirtsleeves. :"

Where Goldfish Arc propagated.

About three miles south of st. JOS
eph, on the King Hill road, is located
one of the Missouri state fish hatch
cries. Its chief interest lies in the
fact that it is the only place in the
state or in the country anywhere,
where goldfish are propagated and dis
tributed. Here these little aquarium
beauties may be obtained for mere
thank you" and many are they who
avail themselves of this privilege. From
October until January four goldfish
each are given to every citizen Of the
state until the supply is exhausted.

THE IDEAL AUTOMOBILE.
Low Cost, Durability. and Speed NEG
-

Low Cost, Durability, and Speed Nec-
The automobile has been sufficiently
long in our midst to enable us to define
the essential qualities which go TO
make up an ideal machine, says the
Scientific American. Naming them IN
their order they are as follows: Low
cost, durability endurance Qarge fuel
supply, ability to climb hill and speed.
Low cost is given the first place for the
reason that the present price OF the au-
tomobile places it altogether beyond
the means of, the average individual,
and renders it a very decided luxury.
1t is certain that cheapening the cost
will produce a proportionate increase
ia the demand, and an increased de-
mand will lead in its turn to reduc-
tion in the price. This was conelu-
sively proved in the history of the .Dl-
cycle, the cost of first-class machine
today being about one-quarter what IL
was few years ago, when the number
of riders was limited. But while the
ideal automobile must be cheap, the
reduction III price must uOI NC 5dlhoo
at the expense of sound materials and
good workmanship. However great
may be the demand for fow-priced
machine, our manufacturers must new
er attempt to meet it by making a
short cut by way of SNOWY but inferior
construction The folly of such meth
cd was demonstrated very conclusive
ly when the bicycle was at the height
of its popularity. Next to its low cost
and durability we place the endurance
OF the automobile by which we mean
its capacity to cover a large mileage
without having to refill its fuel tanks,
Liberal fuel capacity will be very
strong recommendation to the bicycliss
who has been accustomed to rove all
day on long distance excursions with
the knowledge that he is not tied to
particular stopping places, or liable to
be hopelessly STALLED" by collapse
of his motive power in out-of-the-Way
or unexpected places.

F. e. cHURCH,S WORK.
Noted Paintings by Lamented American
Artist.

The death Of Frederick Edwin
Church, the veteran landscape painter,
removed a well-known figure In art
life of this country, better remembered
perhaps by past generation than by
the younger set. He was born in Hart
ford, Conn, May 4, 1926 His talent
for art was prominent and in early
life he determined to adopt art as
profession and placed himself under
the instruction of Thomas Cole, and
resided with him in the CatskiI1s. He
soon became well known as land
scape painter, and critics awarded him
praise for his accuracy of drawing
and vivid appreciation of nature. He
spent short time in Switzerland, and
in 1853 visited South America to study
the picturesque scenery. "The Heart
of the Andes" which created great
sensation, was first exhibited in 1859,
and was bought by the late William
T. Blodgett. other well-known works
painted about the same period are
THE Andes Of Ecuador" tCotapaxi, :"
now at the Lenox library, "Chinbor-
azo.a His View of Niagara Falls"
now in the Goreoran art gallery.
Washington, D. G., is recognized as
the first satisfactory production by art
of this wonderful piece of nature; it
won prize at the French exhibition
in 1867.. Another painting of eMagra"
was painted for A. T. Stewart in 1866,
the price paid for it by Mr. Stewart
being $4,000 In 1873 he was again
represented at the French capital with
two pictures Morning in the Tropics"
and THE Parthenon." He Travelled
extensively in this country and abroad,
studying nature and giving to the
world numerous productions of high
character. A number of his works are
owned in England, one of his principal
works being 'Icebergs," which was
purchased by Sir Edward Watson, NJ
P, London. His wife died about a
year ago. Two sons and a daughter
survive him.

KEEPER FACED DEATH
In Huge Python's Coils, but wa,
Rescued.


Either of the tWc big pythons just
brought here 0n me steamer Afridi,
for the Bronx PARK zoo, would easily
crush the ribs of horse in its terrible
embrace. One of the serpents is TWEEN
ty-seyen feet six inches long, the other
is at least twenty-six feet long, and as
big around as water pail Keeper
Koran on Wednesday afternoon had a
half minute of time which could easily
have ended his career. Around his
body wound coil of the twenty-six-
foot python. He was not hurt The
other keeper rushed in and as quick
as human hands could work released
him. But for one instant Koran. al
most paralyzed by the situation, could
not know whether he would sleep that
night on his bed or on his bier There
were two pythons which Koran was
directed to measure. The female py-
thon was stretched out at full length
and the tape was applied. Then Koran
applied the tape to the male python,
that also lay stretched cut metionless.
He had measured off nearly half the
length when the huge reptile seemed
suddenly to awake. There was a shout
Of warning from Keeper Snyder and
the others who were watching the
measurement. but before Koran could
stand erect the whole huge body Of
the python had suddenly taken life.
The great head was suddenly raised,
the great mass of ringed muscle hai
swept around in living coil, and
Koran, pale as death, stood transfxed
with terror. Snyder and his assistants
dashed into the cage. They knew shat
the reptile was still semitorpfd with
cold. Fearlessly they caught hold Of
the great body and shouted to Koran
to jump out of the living circle. He
did so. The men left the cage and the
python lazily stretched out its full
length and sank again into the torpor
of eold.-New York Journal

"Oh, Dat Watermelon. !"

A solicitor in Georgia court relates
that he once overheard conversation
between his cook and a nurse, who
were discussing recent funeral of a
member OF their race, at which there
had been a great profusion of flowers.
The nurse said: When | die don't
plant no flowers on my grave, but
plant a good old watermelon vine, and
when it gets ripe you come dar and
don't you eat it, but jes' bus 1t on de
grave and let dat good old Juice dribble

6ounod'H Lost Opera.

Few people are aware that Gounod
once, in moment of anger, tore up
the manuscript of an opera he had
composed. and, though he afterwards
repented of his action he was quite
unable to recall its melodies. Gounod' s
opera Faust was nearly lost to the
world by the religious scruples OF the
great composer. About the time he
wrote 1t he determined henceforth only
TO write sacred music, but happily for
posterity, he thought better of his reso-
luton.

cause of his arrest of boys for alleged
trivial reasons. Major Sylvester. the chief
OF police. has reported that numerous COM

young men in the precinct. The police. he
states, have been endeavoring to do their
DUTY. and he has given special instructions
as to their action with relation to younger
boys with view to having them first taken
to their parents and properly admonished
when guilty of trivial violations of the no.
ice regulations. with the injunction that.
should the warning be UNDECIDED or a more
serious offense be committed, arrest shall
follow.
The policy OF this department" stated
MAJOR sylvester, has been to extend good
adNlce and proper warning to those who
nave been found committing misdemeanors
with view to educating them as to the re-
quirements of the law When an officer
has been guilty of harshness disrespect or
maltreatment ii will be my aim to mete out
such penalty as the circumstances in each
case may warrant. As collateral was given

such matters the department is always glad
to be informed.
