DIDN'T RECLAIM THE COIN.
Although She Had the Opportunity
TO Do So, Mrs. Stanford DID
Not Repent

Those who pass the plate" IN coun-
try churches are not often RECALLED with
the glitter of gold among the contribu-
tions. 1t is related that about ten
years ago Mr., and Mrs. Lelan Stanford
were travelling through the middle
west incognito. They happened to be
in Bloomington, Ind, one Sunday and
pursuant to their usual custom went
to church. They attended the Chris
tian church of Bloomington, then
largely in the hands of Amzi Atwater.
says the Chicago Chronicle.
When the plate was passed for the
collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in
ten-dollar gold piece. Mr.. Atwater
was the deacon in charge of the col
lection-taking. 1t was noticed that
the ushers held a hurried conference
with him when the money was taken
forward. At its conclusion Mr.. At
water said: Ladies and gentlemen,
there has evidently been Il mistake.
Some one has dropped ten-dollar gold
piece into the collection. If he will
pass up after the services we will
be glad to allow him to exchange it for
the amount he intended to give" 1t
is, of course, needless to say that
Mrs. Stanford did not take advantage
of the opportunity.

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
Civil War Soldier states That He Saw
Axteana Carriage in Chicago
In 1864,

A contributor to the Chicago Inter
Ocean recently stated that the first au-
tomobile used in America was con-
structed by chicago man in 1884. He
writes:
Allow me to say steam vehicle was
constructed by somebody and used in
Chicago 20 years earlier than this. The
writer, while in camp at Camp Fry in
1864, which was located west of Clark
street, about opposite what is now the
northern portion Of Lincoln park, had
the pleasure of seeing this machine in
operation. It came from the city and
stopped long enough at the camp to
give interested ones opportunity to
examine it. After the lapse Of 3s years
! cannot describe it infinitely, but re-
member this: 1t was four-wheeled
vehicle, the motive power was steam,
the boiler was Of the upright plan and
fixed near the rear axle. The seat was
in front. The machine very much re-
sembled the Inter Oceans picture Of
Mr.. Browns second vehicle, with the
exception the seat was reversed. The
seat was occupied by two men. The
vehicle started up Clark street at a
ten-mile-an-hour gait and left about
score Of soldiers discussing It. They
did not call II automobile then. as that
word was unknown to the public, but
after mentioning several curious
names, the majority agreed that II
should be called "son of gun on
whee1s !"

JAMES TOOK A "PARILLA."
The Old Quaker Innkeeper Wouldn't
Givo Him Any More of the
"Strong stuff"

The country Immediately adjacent
to Philadelphia is rich in quaint old
taverns and inns, many of which have
remained unchanged for a century or
more. Each one of these has it's own
following, and it is quite the thing for
the city patrons to get up dinner par
ties. ordering the dinner in advance, to
secure good service.
The proprietor of one Of the best
known of these taverns, one much at
fected by the hunting set, is on old
Quaker, who amid the incongruous
surroundings of his bar still clings to
the plain language Of his faith. Occa-
sionally he even dispenses liquid re-
frcshments with his own hands, and
it seems queer to hear his mild voice
asking: What will thee have?"
The other day there was a crowd in
the bar, and one of the men had al
ready been mbibing too freely. Never
theless, he lined up at the bar with
the others and loudly called for wills
ky. The old man looked at him Sc
verely and remarked:
James, doesn't thee think thee has
had enough of the strong stuff? Thee
had better take a parilla.'
There was no appeal, says the Phila
delphia Record, and James drank a
glass of sars parila.

J, MAMMOTH PERFORMANCE.
where Ten Thousand of the Birds Are
Housed and Cared For in SOUTH
ern California.

Situated at the sharp angle where
the Arroyo Seco, or dry ditch "a
ravine that extends from Los An.
geles to the Sierra Madre mountains
some IA miles away, and the Los
Angeles river (at this point 1s miles
from the sea- meet, is one of the
most curious exhibits Of pigeon life
ever presented to the eye. Here 49,
900 pigeons. mostly light in color,
are found perched upon the roofs
of eight frame sheds. The walls Of
these sheds are composed of hun
dreds Of empty gasoline cans, with
one OF the ends taken out and wood
en- boards with apertures large
enough for pigeons substituted, and
thousands Of wooden fruit boxes fur
nished with square openings. The
ground is generally covered with
pigeons until stranger arrives,
when there is a great whirrlng noise,
the air is full Of wings and thou
sands of pigeons return to their
brethren on the roofs of the sheds,
says Pearson's.
hic OClou6b w ohC Va
Los Angeles enterprising citizens
and forms a great attraction to Wis
itors from all the country round, aa
well as to numerous colored thieves,
who make cdntinual practice Of
robbing this vast aggregation Of
pigeon roosts. Two large dogs prop
erly qualified to bark and bite are
located at each end Of the grounds,
about 200 feet from each other.
These are secured safely by long
chains to spikes in the ground.
But these, fierce as they are, do
not represent the entire force for
the defense from thieves Of the TO-
900 pigeons; two young dogs, trained
to bark and not to bite, are on duty
also all the time; these are more
sleepless and it is the uproar they
make upon which the owner so much
depends for the discovery of tn. IL
ored thieves. Disease and rats take
away great many of this multi
tudinous bird populations; daily some
young pigeons will be found on the
ground dead, having gone too far
from the family nest.
