Fond of Smoking.

Smoking in churches is Dutch Gus
tom. Dutchmen are such inveterate
smokers that one of them is rarely
seen without his pipe. He finds him
self unable to deprive himself of the
indulgence, even for the short period
of church service. i. A similar prac-
tice exists in several churches in
South America. Smoking in churches
in Great Britain is said to have been
prevalent at the end of the sixteenth
and the beginning of the seventeenth
century. At one time smoking was
carried to such an excess in Seville ca
thedral that the chapter applied to the
pope for power to repress the abuse.
Urban VIII, yielding to their wish.
issued a bull, which was promulgated
January so, 1912 In Wales smoking
IN church was INDUCED in as late as
1850. In one church the communion
table stood in the aisle, and the farm
ers were in the habit of putting their
hats upon it, and when the service be-
gan they lighted their pipes and
smoked, without any thought of irrev-
erence in the act.

A White FIamingo.

A joke which no doubt afforded sat-
isfaction to the perpetrators was re-
Gently played on post commandant
in Cuba who had the misfortune to be
unpopular with his men. The COM
mandant had two fads. He believed in
whitewash. and plenty of it, asserting
it to be the most effective preventive
of tropical diseases ever discovered:
and he was very much attached to a
pet famingo, who resented being kept
in captivity and showed his resentment
by nipping at every soldier who passed
his way. For the soldier there was
nothing to do but to mutter under his
breath and wait for revenge. One
morning an order was issued from
headquarters that articles pertaining
to the camp which were not sheltered
from the weather should be white
washed. Later in the day the COM
mandant went out to look at his pet
hamingo. He found him as white as
the driven snow. To the sorrow of the
soldiers. the bird survived the treat

RATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
A Matter That interests More People
Than Do Many Subjects of
National Importance,

Since the report became current tina t
the white house was overrun with rats
there has been large increase in mail
for the executive mansion. AS judged
by this index of public sentiment, Sec
rotary Cortelyou says that the people
OF the country are great deal more
interested in the white house rats than
they are in the repeal of the war tax,
the purchase of the Danish West In
dies, the reciprocity treaties or the
visit of Prince Henry. To one letter
that has been received regarding any
one of these four questions, says a
Washington report, there have been
ten given up entirely to the subject of
rats. Letters have been received from
the presidents of national banks as
well as professional rat catchers who
desire to free the white house of the
pests in return for a generous slice of
the contingent fund. At first Mr.. Cor
telyou and the assistant secretaries
thought the rat correspondence very
funny, but when they had opened over
thousand letters about rats they be-
gan to see the serious side of the sub
Ject. Everybody in the white house
now, from the president to the door
tenders, becomes ill-tempered when
rats are mentioned. 1t is said one Iowa
congressman who tried to "josh" the
president about rats while Mr.. Roose-
Welt was considering the appointment
OF one of the Iowan's constituents not

ART IN 1cE-BLocKs.
Appetfzing Display of Good Thing,
to Eat I'm the Window of
Restaurant

Likely to catch the eye of the passer.
by is the restaurant window display
consisting of big block of artificial
ice with an assortment of good things
to eat frozen within it. Sometimes
fruits are thus displayed, and some.
times vegetables; or fish, or game. or
crustacea, states the New York Sum-
Sometimes the display is composite;
and reveals some pattern or design.
Thus appearing in the crystal depths
OF an ice block lately seen were two
fine shad, heads downward and meet
ing at the bottom of the cake, and each
fish holding in its mouth a lemon.
Head downward thus, the forms of
these fishes, uncooked and so of course
of their natural color, rose in the ice
block like the arms of tall, but not
very widely opened letter v; and be-
tween the forms of the two fishes was
placed lobster, cooked and so, of
course, red in color, making a striking
contrast to the green gray of the two
shad. In freezing in fruits and veget-
ables and so on they use celery and
other things that permit of effective
arrangement; and so this window dis
play consisting of block of ice with
things frozen in it may be easily made
one to attract attention.

Teaching a
President

IL ueHt running as fireman on an en-
CINE? Well, 1 know of one who did,
and, if you've got time to listen to it,
will tell you the story now.
1t was in the summer OF. 1885 that
was firing on a single track line that
runs up from Junction City through
Georgetown, matter of 40 miles
The line was owned mostly by man
named Thedford, who was president
and superintendent all in one.
had been firing on the line for two
years back; all the time with one en-
gineer, Bob Hunter by name, and a
liner man never lived.
L suppose it would be only natural
Tor me to speak well of Bob, anyway,
Tor was clean head over ears in love
with his pretty daughter Molly, and
was only waiting for bit of rise in
my pay to make her Mrs. Martin
Though l didn't see any chance for
that rise where 1 was, didn't like to
leave and go on another line, for that
would take me away from Molly.
One day Bob says to me:
Jim, amt you and Molly never GO
ing to get married?"
Just as soon as can get my RISE
says /; "but don't see how I'm going
to get it here"
why don't you so and ask Billy ?"
says he.
You see, Billy was always what we
called Mr.. Thedford-behind his back.
of course-for we were mighty polite
to his face.
He won't do anything for me-"
says l, "for you know either one of
the cleaners up to Georgetown would
De glad enough to jump into my place,
and he amt going to give me rise Just
to please me-"
WELL" says Bob, sit won't do any
hurt to try it."
so next day l washed up and went
to the company's Office, and asked for
Mr. Thedford. After few minutes he
sent word to me that he would see me,
and in 1 went.
What is it, my man? I'm very
busy" says he.
So up and told him what wanted
NOW much are you getting now 2"
says he.
"Forty-five dollars a month";" says L.
Then he pursed up his lips, and
hemmed and hawed little and SAYS:
Il don't see how we can give you
anything more, my good fellow. You
see yours is not very responsible DO
sltion; merely one that requires lit
tie bodily strength. And we can find
plenty of men who would be only too
glad to take your place at that sal
ary."
With that he turned to a letter he
was writing, and l knew had no more
business there. l tell you / felt sore
to be told it didn't take much to know
how to fire an engine, and [ came
mighty near throwing my job up and
trying to get on another line. But
Molly persuaded me to hold on a lit
tie longer.
Now, before come to the particu-
lar point of this yarn, want to tell
you little about this line have said
/. was single track one, running
from Junction City to Georgetown.
The latter place was little town of
500 or 600 inhabitants; but in summer
a great many people came up there,
and so suppose the line paid.
Anyhow, Thedford, who had a sum-
mer place there, was rich enough to run
it for himself if he wanted to.
Bob lived at Georgetown and ]
boarded with him. Our trips began
at eight in the morning, and we gener-
ally ran the 10 miles In five hours,
Then at three in the afternoon we
came back. getting home at eight.
As soon as we reached the round
house at Georgetown our days work
