= Miss Eldora Sinks, of Marengo,
Iowa, has received notice that $500
GOO was bequeathed to her by 3. j.
Thompson, of Colorado Springs.
Thompson was a mine owner and q
bachelor when Miss Sinks, with par
ty of friends, visited Colorado three
yearg ago and became acquainted with
him. He was evidently attracted to
her. She spent the entire summer in
the West and, returning home, sup
posed she would never again hear of
her middle-aged admirer. Recently
the notice of his death came, with the
statement that he had willed his en-
tire estate to her, having no neirs.
Laborers digging an artesian we'll

human skeleton fifty feet beneath the

historic man. The Bad Lands of
South Dakota, in which Bon esteel is
situated, have been prolific in fossels.

miles an hour; and another train
leaves Edinburgh for London at the

hour, which will be the farthest away
from London when they meet?"
Reid pondered moment, and then
replied:
T should say the train which left
London, seeing it travelled ten miles
an hour faster than the other"
Ross laughed, and told Reidto try
again, but the latter maintained that
he was right.

don when they met?'' q

The Startling Assertions Of @ Preacher

Let two men, one worthy church

most likely, will have the greatest in
terest shown him by his brethren? It
is the lodge man. Let two men, one
worthy church member and the 9TH
ther lodge man, come to distress
among strangers; which most likely,
will have brotherly interests shown
him? 1t is the lodge man. II
A man who for years had been an
honored member. and supporter of
both his Masonic lodge and the Bap-
tist Church (he also for q long time
sang in chcir) came to need in his
last days. The lodge, not the church,
went to his assistance, and contracted
q debt of several hundred dollars see.
ing him through his last illness.
Where is the church that has shown a
like spirit Of the good Samaritan" to
q brother in distress?
A few years ago lady told me that
when her husband was sick some Of
his lodge brethren were with him
much Of the time. Not day passed
but some called. But it was only oc-
cssionally when q church, member
called; and then il WAS to inquire how
the sick man was, and not to inquire

Of any assistance. Z Y

Wise Motiier Mouse.

"When we think of mice it is US.
ual!y ef the trouble they cause us; We
are not apt to credit the rodents with
much intelligence" said lady at the
sewing circle, ss quoted in the New
York Times, but I recently had an ex-
perience which shows that the little
creatures possess good bit Of wisdom,
after all.
81 had been annoyed for some time
by family of mice which lived in
the walls of the bed room. They nib.
bled my clothes, disturbed my sleep
and when they grew so bold as to 60
into the canary's cage and eat up its
seed my patience gave out and I de-
termined to fix them.
7 bought trap aud set it by the
hole ip the wall. For five nights I
caught mouse, then several days
passed without catching one, although
they were still there, for they kept up
their noise, although not coming into
my room anymore. eei j,
81 found that the trap was all right
but the whole in the wall had been
closed from the inside. I pulled the
filing out. 1t was not easy work, for
it had been evidently put there. to
stay, and was made Of bits Of plaster
and rubbish. I kept the hole open
with the trap close to it, but next day
it was filed again. 8I
{ %'I repeated this clearing out, pro-
cess Eve times, and Eve times the fill-
ing was replaced. It was evidently
the work Of the mother mouse 80 pre-
vent her little ones from passing
through what had proved q fatal gate
TO SO many. And I left the hole
closed, for the mice did not come into
my room again.

Trouble Among the Seeeders.

We are in receipt Of letter from
young woman in the Eastern part of
the State and, as is the case with q
letter from woman, the important
part is in the postscript, which is in
words as follows: "Has the piano for
Church arrived?"
The piano has not come to hand and
when it does reach Abbeviile there
will be ga monkey and parrot time"
before it gets into the Church. We
have very good organ now. A piano
is not in good taste and unless there
are other instruments one should new
er be put in Church.
Several stanch members Of the
Church are opposed to any further
progress in that line. 1t is indeed
time to call halt when such tunes as
the "Spanish Cavalier" are sung to
the Psalms of David, and such thing
has been done in this place. Musical
instruments in Church destroy con-
gregational singing. The service of
song is part Of worship in which all
should take part and every substitute
FOR the same should be opposed.
Some years ago we sang in the choir
at Hopewell Church, Chester County.
James Bigham was the leader and j.
G. Flenniken and ourselves were his
special aides. One day we sang the
tune "Siloam' and did notstop to line
out two lines at a time. The result
was that an old gentleman arose and
stalked out of the Church in great in
dignation. He would put up with no
such innovation, and did not stop un-
til he took his seat On che ground at
the root of q great red oak tree, near
the Church. After the benediction
the first man who approached him did
so with apprehension, expecting an
outburst Of temper. He had, how
ever, cooled off in the shade of the
oak and his first words were: "What's
the price of cotton in Liverpool"
The staple was then aelling at 40 cents
in gold per pound. If the piano goes
into our Church here il will take more
than the shade Of red oak tree or the
price of cotton in Liverpool to restore
the equilibrium of the congregation.
The Seceders won't stand every
thing. We remember when an old
lady in Due West left the Church and
quit it for good because window glass
were put in it. Before that time the
window was nothing more than hole
in the wall with q solid plank shutter.
She thought it her Christian duty to
cruelty the flesh.
In the olden time if member of the
Church at Cedar Springs OF Long
Cane married ''among the Dutch" he
had to make acknowledgements to the
session before he could partake Of the
Lords Supper. But marrying
t'Dutch" girl is nothing to what put
ting piano in the Church here viii
be.-Abbeville Medium.
