TUE story is going the rounds
that minister down in Missouri
found his people too poor to pur-
chase hymn books, and being offered
the same book free by a patent
m adicine house, provided that they
be allowed to insert their advertise
ment, ordered three dozen for the
congregation. He was elated upon
receiving them to find no "ad in
them. The next Sunday he dis
tributed the books, telling the
brethren his good fortune, and re-
questcd that they sing one hundred
and twenty. His chagrin may be
imagined when they sang the hymn
as follows: "Hark, the heavenly
angels sing; Johnson S pills are just
the thing; angelic voices meek
and mild-two for man and one
for child.

mentioned in the will are the widow,
J.Ogden Armour, his son, and Lester
and Philip d. Armour III, grand
sons J. Ogden Armour and the
widow are named as executors.
The fact that Mr. Armour did not
leave anything TO any charitable in

nor TO any of the many trusted em-
ployes who worked with him from
the time of his small beginning,
years ago, created some surprise.

ures. He says: In 1900 there passed
through the $500" 25,643, 600 tons
OF freight. II this were loaded on
cars of 80 tons capacity each, it
would require S54, 766 cars to carry
it. Estimating 40 cars to IA train
drawn by one locomotive, Il 1863 en-
gines would be needed to pull such a
load. The total rolling stock neces-
sary to move the seasons total of
freight would be equal to solid

reach one-four,h the way around the
globe. Travelling at rate of 20
mile an hour it would take this train
