Mrs. Richard Ferguson ("Grace
Passmore") OF the Mccarthy Mis-
haps" company threw bottle at a
Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Louisville
baggageman at Muncie. Ind, recently,
because her pet bull pup. which she
had been compelled to put in his car
at Hartford City, was killed by falling
parcels en- route to Muncie. The man
lodged. and the bottle was shattered
on the side of the car. Other thespians
and railroad men interfered and peace
was restored. The company boarded
the train at Hartford City. but the con-
ductor refused to allow Mrs. Ferguson
and another woman In the troupe to
take their pets into the passenger
coach. Mrs. Ferguson says her pet
was worth $40. and she has fled q
claim with the company. The bottle
hurled at the baggageman was used to
feed the dog and was full of milk,
which splashed over the trainmen In
the car. Ferguson says he was aston
ished at his wife's poor aim, as she
was once q crack baseball pitcher.

You are laughing at me, medemoi-

sigh as the vision rose before him.
But tell me. would you not like to

she moved to the window.

stepped in front of her. You know I

came nearer and laid a hand on her
arm.
Instinctively she shrank back. His
face. salow and cunning, was too near
to be pleasant; his black eyes were
fixed, with an expression of assured
triumph, on hers. Clearly to be read
in them was the conviction that he,
Henri Dubois. was hardly likely to
be refused. that no girl could resist
when he pleaded. And yet there was
a certain admiration there too, which
she had felt and haeed for the last
few weeks.

unable to sell York house. Twicken-

therefore. decided to shut the place up,

Possibly he hopes in that time his

TURKS AT TABLE.

or late years some Turkish house,

aping the ways Of Paris. But ccnser-

ish household, rich or poor. no tables
are used, and chairs are unknown. In
stead there is a huge wooden frame in
the middle of the room about eight
cen inches high. When the fami y

frame and on these the men seat
themselves tailor fashion, forming a
circle around large tray. The tray
is very large wooden, plated or sill

condition of the family, and thereon
is deposited a cap2cious bowl. About
1t are ranged saucers of sliced cheese,
anchovies, caviare and sweetmeats,
Interspersed with these are goblets of
sherbet, pieces of hot, unleavened
bread and lockwood spoons. Knives,
forks and plates do not figure in the
service, but each one has napkin,
spread upon his knees, and everyone,
armed with spoon. helps himself.
The bowl is presently borne away and
another dish takes its place. This

been divided by the cook into por-

for a Turk of high degree to roll a

upon as good manners.

CHAPTER VII

Dinner was very late that day. for
Henri did not return home from q
visit to the police station until long
after the usual hour. and then Mollie
heard him tell his mother that the
rumor must have originated through
some tramp being taken up with sus-
picious articles In his possession; but
otherwise the inspector had no further
clue to the perpetrator of the crime.
1t was a warm night; almost sultry,
and Mollie opened the long French
windows and went out onto the pan
tiles. leaving them alone. though
Henri's high tones sneering at the
English police, and at madame for be-
lieving all she heard. reached her for
some time.

Religion In Politics.

Daniel stood on a most unpopular
platform. He stood firmly. though
the demagogues of the day Kissed at
him and tried to overthrow him. We
must carry our religion into our poll

who are in favor of taking religion
into national politics. who do not see
the Importance of taking 1t into city
politics, as though a man were intelli-
gent about the welfare of his neigh
borhood and had no concern about
his own home.
My subject also impresses me with
the fact that lions cannot hurt q good
man. No man ever got into worse
company than Daniel got into when
he was thrown into the den. What a
rare morsel that fair young man
would have been for the hungry mon
sters! II they had plunged at him

You need not go to Numidia to get
many lions. You all have them after
you-the lion Of financial distress, the
lion Of sickness. the lion Of persecu-
ton. You saw that lion of financial
panic putting his mouth down to the
earth, and he roared until all the
banks and all the insurance companies
quaked. With his nostril he scattered
the ashes on the domestic hearth. You
have had trial after trial, misfortune
after misfortune, lion after lion, and
yet they have never hurt you. The
Persians used to think that spring
rain falling into sea shells would
turn into pearls, and | have to tell
you that the tears of sorrow turn into
precious gems when they drop into

Jamaica product is not real bullfrog,
but toad. They were brought to
Jamaica from Barbados under the
impression that they would kill rats.
This was found to be a mistake, and
the toad remained and is now quite
common. They are of a dark brown
color, with body the size OF a large
bullfrog, but with short legs like a
toad, and are not edible. Like all
toads, they are not aquatic. A hand

While night watchman Truitt of

7.30 o'clock lastnight he discovered
that the roof of the ]. Morton Poole
Company S foundry was on fire. He
sent in an alarm and soon after
ward a general alarm was sounded
owing to the Simmons Brothers
lumber yard adjoining the Poole
works at Thorn street. The fire.
men worked bravely and succeeded
in confning the fire to the roof. In
about an hour the rafters gave way
and the roof fell in. Then the fire.
men quickly extinguished the
flames. During the progress of the
fire the water that splashed over
the tiremen quickly froze and many
of the tiremen had their coats and
helmets covered with ice. The cost
is estimated at about $1,000 on the
building and machinery. The loss
is covered by insurance in the New
England Fire Company. The ori-
gin OF the fire is unknown. 1t is
surmised that the roof caught fire
from the sparks from the cupola.
Despite the coldness Of the evening

gained circulation that there was
likelihood Of the fire spreading to

Didn't Recognize ths Law.

According to Josiah Marvil, attor-
ncy, the law regulating the cleo
ton of church trustees as passed
by the recent Legislature is weak
in some particulars. At the annual
meeting OF the First Presbyterian
Church held last nights Mr.. Marvil
was asked for his opinion of the
new law He said: at therefore
appears that every religious society
in the election of trustees is to be
governed by the rules and regula-
tions of it's own denomination, and
YOU will therefore follow said rules
instead OF the procedure laid down
in said section ? of the Revised
Code.
The election was therefore con-
Quoted as all previous ones and
these trustees were elected: William
Lawton. John Bulge. Joseph S.
Hamilton, J. Frank Brobst, William
II. Taylor, c. S. Cleland and Sidney
Stiles. This makes the twentv-first
consecutive term for which Mr..
