AN ODD TALE OF THE SEA.

Rolling Copper Rivct Wears Through
Bottom of Vessel.
Som, years ago a vessel loaded with
guano worth several thousand dollars
caught fire in the south Pacific and
was abandoned by the captain and
crew. who came ashore in the small
boats and reported the disaster. One
of the c%onsignees thought the cargo
could be saved, as he knew that guano
would lot burn, and it was his idea
that the hulk of the ship might be
found floating somewhere at sea. He
chartered a small English tramp yes

Peru, and started out to search for
the derelict. After cruising for two or
three weeks, he found her. the wood
work burned to the waters edge, but
the hulk sound as a dollar and the
cargo all right. They started to tow
her to Callao, but the day before
reaching that harbor the tramp vessel
they had chartered began to fill rap
Idly and the pumps could scarcely
keep her afioat. They narrowly es-
capped sinking with all on board. The
leak was a mystery. They managed
to get her to Callao only by The

SYNOD
TRANSACTING ROUTINE BUSINESS
AT THE CHEYENNE
MEETING.
The Reports Of Evangelist Rankin, Dr..
kirkwood on Home Missions and
Or. Powell on Sunday School Mis-
sions-Rev. Hoebin on Today's
Program.

Yesterdays session of the Presby-
terrain synod at Cheyenne was devoted
largely to routine work.
The report of Synodical Evangelist
Rankin of Denver was presented.
Mr.. Rankin's work during the past
year has extended over the wide area
between northeastern Wyoming and
southwestern Colorado. His expert
ences have been varied. sometimes sue
cessful and again exciting; as n time
the sheriff took an uninviting part in
one of the meetings by stopping the
service on account of smallpox in the
community. He spoke earnestly of the
need of the small communities to have
the gospel preached to them. This is
particularly noticeable in the PARKWAY
points in Wyoming.
The report was received and the fl
deity of Evangelist Rankin was COM
mended, and recommendation made
that Mr.. Rankin be reappointed for an
other year.
DR.. T. C. Kirkwood, synodical super
report which was, as usual very inter
esting. DR.. Kirkwood has been the
superintendent of Home Missions for
over twenty years, in which time he
has witnessed all the vicissitudes of
the churches of the synod. There is
hardly a church in the synod that has
not been under the superintendent
care and through his fatherly advising
the mission churches of the synod have
grown into full-grown. Independent
churches. During the past ear eleven
new churches have been organized
with n more to organize in a few
days. Four of the mission churches
have become self-supporting during
the year, as follows: Pueblo. West
minister, La Junta, Cripple Creek and
Fort Morgan. Three others will be,
come Independent during the remain,
der of the year, Berthoud, Central City
and Black Hawk and Grand Junction.
DR.. Kirkwood's report was received
and his fidelity and good work com,
mended.
Rev. c. X. Powell, synodical super.
intendent of Sabbath school missions,
gave his report after distributing a
printed statement of the work done by
his force of workers. Mr.. Powell d.
reefs the work of five other mission,
aries employed by the Presbyterian

PAID SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS

The assertion of Professor Nathaniel
Schmidt of Cornell University that he
did not believe that the average Sun
day school teacher was competent to
teach a Sunday school class calls at
tention to the plan. already in opera
ton to some extent, of employing paid
teachers for such work. Within a few
days the pastor of a Boston church,
where the system of hiring trained
teachers for Sunday school instruction
has been tried, reported enthusiastical-
ly in it's favor. In some of the wealthy
congregations in and near New York
there are already paid Sunday school
teachers, especially those who have
charge of infant classes. BY the Bos-
ton experiment it was found that good
story tellers were the most successful
OF the paid teachers. Whether the
ability to tell entertaining stories com
bined with a strong devotional senti-
ment will add, through the Sunday
school training of children, to the uIti-
mate strength of religion is a matter
worthy of consideration. The hearty
applause that Professor Schmidt re-
ceived would seem to indicate that an
effort to train or to secure really COM
petent Sunday school teachers would
be move in the religious field that
would command instant approval.

POKER DEBTS NEED NOT BE PAID

Another poker debt case has passed
through the appellate courts of New
York and, as usual, the debtor wins.
This case differs from the conventional
dispute over a gambling debt in that
the debtor and defendant in the case
acknowledges his debt. His plea in de-
Tense was that he was about to pay up
when he was informed that the winner
had publicly denounced him as a WEIGH
er, or as a man who was not in the
habit of paying his poker debts. This
so enraged him that he determined not
to meet his obligation to his detractor.
The court did not consider this phase
of the question, but simply held that
a gam bling debt was not collectible by
law.

REDEEM MUTILATED DIMES.
Telephone Slots Are Taking Many
Worn-Out Coins Out of
Circulation.

The telephone slot machines are
doing an enormous work in the mat
ter of taking worn-out dimes out of
circulation" explained : e;tsury of
hclal to a reporter. There is moth
ing to prevent worn-out, mutilated and
almost smooth dimes from being put
into the slots, and as result many
persons keep the worn-out dimes for
that particular purpose.
Many druggists and others who
keep public telephones make no OBJ
lection to taking mutilated dimes any
more, for the reason that they keep
supply on hand to do telephone
business with. When they see that a
telephone user is going to put a new
dime in the slot they simply take it in
and hand worn-out dime in exchange.
Of course the telephone user makes no
objection, and in goes the worn-out or
mutilated coin.
After it gets in there the telephone
companies do the rest. Every time
they get a quantity on hand, for the
government does not care to bother
with sums of less than $1OO, they send
them to a subtreasury, and in Wash
ington to the treasury department di-
rect. for redemption. The result is
that through the telephone companies
alone over $1,000 worth of mutilated
or worn-out dimes are redeemed each
week.
business people have already be-
. C11n IN nnfipa that ba trroat n,
of the dimes now in circulation are in
much better condition than they were
even six months ago. In lesser de-
gree the redemption of great guam
tity of quarters and halves is effected
through the long-distance tele-
phones"

Business is not inseparable from
higher things, says writer in the

only as grocers. Solon and Thales,
wise men of the Greeks, were mer-

the philosopher, mended spectacles.
Linnaeus was cobbler as well as a
botanist. Shakespeare prided himself
more upon his success is stage man
ager than as dramatist. Spenser
was sheriff. 1t might require ra tn
er strong wrench of the ina gination
to imagine sheriffs of to-day writing
another 'sFaerie Queen"-but why?
Milton taught school, as have almost
all great men. Walter Scott, the wiz
ard Of the north, was circuit clerk and
practical man of affairs; Grote was
a London baker, Ricardo a stock Job
ber, and Sir Isaac Newton master of
the English mint Paul was tent
