BEECHER STORIES.

In an article on the anecdotal
side" of Henry Ward Beecher sever
al amusing stories are told of the
famous preacher, says the New York
Commercial Adveytise,. At one time
he was talking to a friend who was
coffee merchant. The coffee man
mentioned that he had just received
a consignment of Ceylon coffee which
was particularly fine. Mr.. Beecher
was much Interested and asked in
ted s.In bags of 100 pounds each,
said his friend. "Well, you'd bet
ter send me FIVE bags of it," said the
minister.
When a dray loaded with coffee
sacks stopped at the Beecher house
pext day and the driver staggered
into the house with the bags Mrs.
Beecher was amazed. Mr.. Beecher
assured her that coffee of such ex-
treme excellence was good thing to
have in the house, but Mrs. Beecher
rebelled, with the result that the dray
started back to New York with four
bags of coffee on board.
Mr.. Beecher was very fond of opals.
He believed in their tranquilizing ef-
feet upon the mind. On one occa-
sion, after tremendous mental excite
ment and bodily exertion, when he
could not sleep, he sat for a half-hour
with big and brilliant opal in his
hands, admiring its fire and changing
colors. When he arose he was calm
and at peace, his nerves were quiet,
his brain soothed; he went to bed
and slept like child. On one occa-
sion Mr.. Beecher went into the bar
Der shop of town in which he was to
lecture that evening The barber
asked him if he were going to hear
Beecher and warned him that all the
tickets were sold, and that if he went
he would have to stand.
"Just my luck, /" said Mr.. Beecher
"I have always had to stand every
time ever heard that man lecture. y

LoNG.LIvED INDIANS.

The government census takers,
who have completed the official. cen
sus of the various Indian tribes of the
Indian Territory, report number of
long-lived people who reside in this
section of the country. 1t is claimed
that the Indians live to an older age
than any other class of people on
earth. Manyof them have attained the
age of 125 years. While Ioo-year-
old Indian is nothing out of the or
binary. Here are few of them and
some facts about their lives
White Horse, medicine chief of
the Otoes, is now IoI years old, and
says he feels as well as he did when
he chased cowboys and soldiers under
Geronimo fifty years ago. To prove
his assertions, he is now planning
1,ooo-mile trip across the country to
visit some of his warrior friends. He
is a great medicine man among the
Otoes and is their ambassador to the
Great Spirit, where he makes fire.
quent trips, according to himself.
He also leads in the violent medicine
dances and takes medicine the same
as he did when young chief.
Another aged Indian is Looking
Glass, a Cheyenne warrior. He IS
1o4 years old and will soon be los.
He was with Sitting Bull, the great
Sioux warrior, in most of his raids,
and he has passed through seven In
dian wars. He says that he does not
remember how many white people he
has killed, but that it must be over
100. His eyesight is keen and hic
hearing is excellent. He does not
speak the English language.
Nancy Jacobs is Choctaw Indian
woman 100 years old. She lives near
Antlers. She was a cook in the Civil
War and remembers all of the big
Generals and commanders of the
Southern forces. She has a married
daughter 65 years of age who lives
nearby. The old woman has out
lived three husbands and still does
her own cooking and housekeeping.
Among the Apaches there are ter
er twelve old women who have pass
ed the 100 mark. One of the crue
features of the Apache home life i:
that when a woman has passed hel
period of usefulness about the house
She is taken into the country and lef
bv the roadside to die. The white
people have talked the Apaches near
" out of this way of treatment to thu
old people, but the custom is still
practiced.

LOSS BY WASTE.
Democrat

I think our brothers could save
many a penny by being more syste-
matte, says a woman writer in all ex-
change. If grocers, merchants and
manufacturers were as careless as the
farmer there would be more failures
than now. There are so many ave-
nues of waste on farm. What is the
condition of your granary? Are there
holes and cracks for the grain to run
through and waste? I sometimes
think farmers would make more
money if they sold crop when har-
vested, as there is SO much lost by
shrinkage and waste.
Farmers are sometimes careless
with harness, blankets and whips.
There is so much money invested in
such articles around farm it trequires
much care to keep them in order.
Each farmer should have cupboard
for such articles. He should also
have place for nails, tools, etc., and
keep them in their places. Some are
careless about leaving boards around
with rusty nails in for the stock to
step on. Such should be picked uI
for they are dangerous. Are your
corn cribs so arranged that the
chickens can help themselves, thus
wasting the corn and uniting them
selves for laying It is an establish
ed fact that hens will not lay wher
they are too fat.
l wonder how many farmers arm
themselves with a hammer and nail!
on their tours around the farm 81
they can nail loose board on fenc'
or building. You will find that on
grandmother's adage, "a stitch il
time saves nine" will apply out Q
doors as we'll as in.

NO WONDER HE WAS AMAZED.

One of the best known religious
communities for women in the Epis-
copal church in this country and the
Church of England are the Sisters of
St. John the Baptist, or the "Clewer
Sisters" as they call them in Eng
land. The mother house is in the
northwest corner of Stuyvesant
Square, New York.
They have summer house in the
Catskills, and the ritualist clergy of
New York are all passing on story
which came down from there and cir
culated as rapidly as good jokes do
among the religious. Two sisters
were passing along the road in their
quaint habits. A stranger was driv-
ing along, and looked on them with
amazement. He had never seen any.

pictorial Bible. The next man he
met he asked: "What kind of win

thing round their face and neck, dress

"Oh, they're the Sisters of John
the Baptist"
The stranger looked with incredu
lous eye on the native.
"Get out |" he sneered. "Yot

Baptist has been dead more than ;

HOW THE YOUNG ELBOW THE OLD.

"The part of wisdom is not to drop
ones tasks too early, not to be in
haste to retire from posts of influence
and duty" writes Margaret E. Sang
ster in the Ladies Home Journal.
'Insensibly the young, with GER
tain unconscious arrogance, elbow the
old out of the way, and monopolize
the places in every profession and
branch of business. Yet the young
are not lowered with experience, nor
have they the ripper judgment of ma
turity. But they do have what age
has often lost-enthusiasm, self-con-
fidence and pluck. Old people are
sometimes out of touch with the pres
ent age. They have ceased to be re-
ceptive they have grown mentally
inhospitable and inert. Is there,
however, the slightest reason why a
woman should rust out through mere
Incidence before she has done the full
measure of service required by her
Master for the time in which she
lives? As teacher, as an artist, as
house mistress and mother, in what
ever field you are, my friend, do not
withdraw from active duty too soon.
There is need at the front for the wo.
man of warm heart and trained capa-
city for affairs, and her age is of little
consequence if she is equal to hel
work. There never was time when
the judgment of mature age was more
needed than it is today"

To-NIGHTS POLO GAME.


 Frank Warner to Rush With Bone Against Providence
 Tonight will see the New Haven polo team on the surface at Polo hall against Providence with two of the swiftest and most scientific rushers In the National
 league Frank Warner, who has played such a sterling game for the Merden team during the past two years, has been signed by Manager William Aufort and will take his place in the rush line with Bone tonight. It has often been remarked by those who know: What a pair of rushers Bone and Warner would make" The sign ing of Warner is another feather in Manager Aufort's cap, his idea being to have the best polo team in the busi- ness represent this city. Whipple's en- forced absence from the game through severe cold which has eliminated in a quinsy sore throat, is to be regretted at this stage of the season, as the team with Whipple were getting along grand ly and doing great work. The manager is lucky under the circumstances in be- ing able to secure the services of a man like Warner and a crowded rink will undoubtedly be present to see how the new combination will work. The Provi- dence team is straning every nerve in a desperate effort to overtake Hart ford in the pennant race and the Blues are close on their heels. To-night's game in consequence of this fact ought to be a hummer and well worth seeing.
