Probably no two ministers in the
country are better known than Bishop
J. H. Vincent of the Methodist Epis-
copal church and Rev. DR.. P. S. Hen
son, for many years pastor of the lead
Eng Baptist church of Chicago Bishop
Vincent was the leading spirit in the
Chautauqua assemblies and always on
the lookout for attractive speakers
DR.. Henson had prepared lecture en-
titled Fools" and he was eagerly epr
gagged to deliver 1t at Chautauqua.
There was an immense audience, and
DR.. Vincent introduced him, saying:
Ladies and gentlemen, we are to have
a great treat this evening, in the shape
Of lecture on Fools by one"
Here there was look Of CONSERVATION
In the faces on the platform and rip
pie of laughter through the audience.
Pausing until this subsidized, tbs
speaker continued: "of the brightest
men in the country" This witty sur
prise caused tumultuous merriment,
which did not subside fo1 a moment
after Dr. Henson came forward. There
was CLEAN in his eye, and everybody
was curious to hear how he would
treat this unique introduction. He be-
gan: Ladies and gentlemen, am not
half as big fool as DR.. Vincent"
Here the laughter broke forth again
with redoubled vigor. Pausing, in his
turn, until it had quieted down, he con-
tinued: Would have you believe"
The lecturer made a graceful bow to
his introducer, and the roar that
greeted this ready sally was such that

gin his lecture.

OLD EGYPTIAN BOATS.
soNae Older Than the Ark of Nsah Hay,
Been Found

For centuries it has been supposed
that Father Noah was the first ship
Builder Of the world, and that the ark
in which he saved his family from
drowning was the first vessel that
'plowed the raging main" This sup
petition has been found to be errone-
sls. for there exist paintings of Egyp-
tan vessels immensely older than the
date. 2S40 B, c., usually assigned to
TIE ark, being, indeed, between seven
~ and eighty centuries older. More
over, there are now IN existence in
Egypt boats which were built about the
period the ark was constructed. These
are, however, small craft, about SO feet
long, seven or eight feet wide, and two
and a half to three feet deep. They
were discovered six years ago by the
eminent French Psychologist, NJ. J. de
Morgan, in brick vaults near Cairo,
and were probably funeral boats. They
were constructed of three-inch acacia
and sycamore planks, dOvetailed to-
gether and fastened with trenails.
They have floors, but no ribs, and
though nearly 5000 years old, they
held together after their supports had
been removed. These boats may be
considered side by side with the bet
ter known, but much more modern, vi
king ship, which is now to be seen in
a shed at Christiania. This craft was
discovered in 1880 in a funeral mound,
so that we owe both these existing ex-
amrles of extremely ancient ships to
the funeral customs of countries SO
dissimilar as Egypt and Norway.

 ''The necessary material being purchased, we must now figure with a reliable contractor to build the house. You want no botcher about it." said Uncle Josh, "and J. A.

 Hereupon Polly declared she heard so much of the goods and prices offered by J. s.

 "And now we will go over to Poison Bros. handsome department store, where Polly's housewifely in- stincts will have full play in the marvels of kitchen apparatus If Polly fails to accomplish wonders in the culinary art it will not be for the want of superior cooking utensils" said Uncle Josh The girl certainly selected right in pur- chasing a Charter Oak heater and kitchen range with all necessary equipments, and added that no one could resist the goods and prices offered by Poison Bros.

Talks of Success of western League
Clubs-Omaha Team Too

ton is highly elated at the progress of the
Western league thus far and speaks in con-
hdence of the ultimate outcome. Said he:
81 suppose you have noticed that we are
not drawing very heavily at Kansas City or
Milwaukee, but we are running close to the
others all the time, and as long as we do
that we are satisfied. Meanwhile our other
cities are at the apex of prosperity. Even
at Des MoInes, where the team has been
meeting defeat so regularly, the support is
still loyal and strong, and its faith will not
be tested any stronger. as Des Moines will
today be strengthened by a new pitcher, a
third baseman and a first baseman. They
will pull up now.
Peoria, st. Joseph, Colorado Springs and
Denver speak for themselves. They are all
on the high wave Of success. Meanwhile
here in Omaha you oan rest on your oars.
The only trouble is that / am afraid your
team is too good, II you keep on like this
we'll have to hobble you"

STANDS WITH THE PRESIDENT
e. J. Cornish Declares His Position
at Meeting Of First ward
Republicans.

At the meeting Of the First Ward Re-
publican club last night the speaking was
started by ]. H. Van Dusen Of South Omaha,
who in announcing his candidacy for gov
ernor touched lightly upon state and ma
tionsl issues.
He was followed by w. A. DeBord. who
devoted his time to national issues, draw
ing a parallel between the records of the
republican and democratic parties. He
closed with an appeal to his hearers to re-
member how the promises OF the party in
the nation have been redeemed and to
stand for the nomination OF clean, COM
petent men for ONCE locally.
T.. ]. Cornish followed Mr.. DeBord. As
a resident OF the First ward. he explained
local conditions. Then taking up his own
candidacy he referred to an article in a
local paper, which said hat he had been
opposed to the present policy Of the repub-
lican party. He said:
"You. gentlemen, know me well enough
to know that II 1 did not think the repuo-
licsn party represented my ideas better
than any other party l would not remain in

az full. Health, However, the Great
# est Charm.

Woman's greatest gift is the power to inspire admiration, respect,
and love. There Is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men
than mere regularity of features.
The snap and spirit which health gives to the eye, the movement,
and the speech are full of magnetism.
Sickly women can't understand this.
They only know that they are miserable, and their efforts to be
attractive are langud and weak.
Woman's influence in the world il limited by her strength. and the
strength of health is real strength.
1t brings with it beauty and grace and loneliness of disposition.
To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her
husband, should be a womans constant study. If she would be all she
may, she must guard well against the SIGNS of ill health.
Regular and painless mensruation is absolutely necessary. .

a central bureau to bring vacant churches
and pastors together. The minority ad-
vised that nothing SO radical be UNDER

Judge Wilson expressed. a fear that the
minority plan would be an entering wedge
by which the general assembly would finally
usurP and encroach on the powers and
rights Of the presbyteries and synods.
HerrIck johnson Wants Trial.
Prof. Herrick johnson suggested that the
assembly try the plan as an experiment for
three years.
DR.. Roberts, stated clerk Of the assembly
and chairman Of the committee, said that
in certain respects he was in sympathy with
the minority report, but did not think 1t
was the time for beginning the experiments.
He asked that action be delayed for at least
one year.
THE fact is" said Mr.. Roberts, "the
churches whose pulpits are long vacant are
churches that our brethren do not want.

special committee r~eappointed.
