SIN eRAvsn UPON MARBLE


During Worship.
There is a quaint old parish church In
Plurien. Brittany. built In the early
part Of the fifteenth century and hav
iug with many other primitive ar.
rangcments. the bell rope from the bel
fry hanging down from the roof OF the
nave and dangling just IN front OF the
pulpit, so that the process Of bell ring
Ing is performed in full view OF the
congregation. But what was more pc
culiar was the projection at right an
giles from one OF the walls (also near
the pulpit Of sculptured hand aud
arm of full size MS though held out from
the shoulder 10y somebody built into the
solid fabric of the wall itself. and the
hand opened and. palm upward and fin-
gers extended, had Il suggestion of ap-
peal and solicitation which naturally
provoked curiosity.
AS there was no Inscription or any
thing TO hint at the nature of the story
that evidently lay behind the sculp-
tured limb. / made inquiry of charm
ing old lady who was decorating the
altar with flowers In view Of the next
days high pass. and she told me that
many years ago. in the faron past,
there was n wicked villager who went
indeed TO mass. but was far from de-
yOut. and on one occasion he so far for
got himself in the service ON hot sum
mer's day as to hold out his hand
through the open door or window TO an
equally undevout friend outside for a
pinch OF snuff
The pinch was duly given, but st.
Peter, the patron saint OF the church,
was so scaudalized 10y so terrible a
want of reverence that he straightway
| paralyzed the arm of the offending
SNUFF taker. who thereupOn took TO his
bed and died. but not before he had ad-
mitted the justice OF his punishment
and had left directions in his will for
setting up In the church of the marble
reminder of his sin In order that all fu-
ture villagers In Plurlen might be warn
ed against the terrible enormity of al
lowing any distraction to interrupt the
devOut hearing Of the mass. 1t is q
curious story and reminds one that
there has been an Infancy in religion
as we'll as in most other of the great
motive powers Of existence. Glasgow

FORAKER AND STATEHOOD.

Senator Foraker OF Ohio seldom per
mits himself to joke lie is too tense
for that. lie will laugh heartily AT
the pointed stories or sharp repartee
Of others. but usually denies himself
the pleasure Of indulging in like things.
Naturally OF an impetur1s nature and
ready TO jump 90 a col lusion or at
a conclusion that senate who have
the opposing canvasses in iand In the
statehood fight. thought II would be an
easy matter to find out just how Fora
ker stood. They hinted and suggest.
ed. but the Ohio statesman made no
response. The testimony offered in
the senate by the subcommittee which
made the investigation OF conditions
in the three territories included the
testimony OF Foraker living in the
territory who is a relative OF the sena-
tor. and this was thought to indi-
cate what his leanings would be But
still those in charge OF the canvasses
wanted to know just how he stood.
They asked all OF his friends and his
colleague. Hanna None of them
knew. They invelgled the Ohio
senator into their groups in the
cloalSrooms and brought up the state
hood fight in various features. Fora
ker talked. but he fought all around
the proposition without indicating
where he stood. Then Foraker gave
notice that he would speak on the
statehood question and interest in his
attitude was intensified But he fail.
ed to indicate where he was going 10
stand on the question. At last II was
decided by the friends of the omnibus
statehood bill that they would ask
him outright just how he proposed ia
vote on the bill. Dennis Flynn was
delegated to make the representations
to Foraker It was hardly regular for
the delegate from Oklahoma to assist
in a senate poll. but the game was
worth the candle and Flynn had lonR
personal and friendly relation with
Foraker He approached the Ohioar
In the cloalroom. You are going "a

said Flynn.
Yes" replied Foraker with the
rising infection
"Wen. that's an right. but how ar,
you going 20 vote on it?" asked tn,

looked down from his superior holgh
on FLYNN. took him by the lapel O
the coat and pulled him over close
so that he might whisper In his ear.
