CAUSE FOR AVOIDING CHURCH.
LonE-Winded and vociferou Bishop
Found No Favor with
Child.

There Is certain bishop whose piety
is unquestioned, but who has an unfor-
tunate habit of preaching very long
sermons. He has, besides, an exceed
ingly sonorous voice. and people living
anywhere within a block of his church
can hear him without taking the
trouble to enter the sanctuary. A few
Sundays ago he was announced to
preach at popular church and the
family who entertained him had lit
tie daughter who was very fond of at
tending service. When the family got
ready little Elsie fatty refused to go
with them, says London paper.
81 don't want to go to church." she
declared.
whats the matter?" asked the
mother. much surprised, "are you ill?"
81 don't like the bishop" confessed
the child.
"Oh. Elsie that's wicked thing to
say!" gasped the mother.
81 hate the bishop" insisted the lit
tie one.
"Tell mother why" said the hostess.
"Well," said Elsie, confidently, "the
bishop breaches SO long that l can't
keep awake and he breaches so loud
that can't go to sleep" AS the divine
tells the story on himself, it Is prob
ably true.

Jasper Grierson wagged his head.

Answer me; is it true?"
'Oh, you go off and don't bother
your head about these business af-
fairs. You run your tea parties, and
I'll run mine"
Then it is true?" she persisted.
"What if it is?-mind, I'm not adj
hitting it, but 1 say, what if it is?"
She slipped down from her perch in
the window seat, crossed the room
and stood before him, with her hands
behind her gripping the riding whip.
You have had pretty good luck
here in Wahaska, haven't you" she
said, still speaking softly. 1T has
been a sort of triumph for you from
the very first, and nobody has been
able to stand against you or to out
wit you. All that is going to be
changed now"
"Why, Madge, girl, what do you
mean?"
81 mean to give you your choice.
You can make your peace with Mr..
Raymer, Or"
''Or what?"
'Or I shall go over to the enemy.
You haven't found anybody in this
little onehorse town who can match
you, but can match you"

do it."
"No, you won't"
81 will"
81 say you won't. You can't turn
on your old daddy that way"
Cant 1? I'll give you till to-mor-
row to- think about it. If by to-mor-
row night nothing has been done to
help the iron works people out of
their trouble 1 shall know what to
do, and you must take the conse-
quences."
"Bah! You can't do anything"
"You have had your warming" she
said, and with that she snapped the
catch of the night latch and was gone.

from anybody. Some of Us are usual
ly around when there is labor row
on hand"
Griswold's lip curled in undisguised
scorn- 'Then the stories they tell of
you and your fellow spoilers are
true; that if you can't find case,
you make one"
Griffin started back with an oath
which was purely of astonishment.
"Good Lord! And you believed
what that fellow said-that was GO
ing to fire the office? And on top of
that you saved my life? By the lord
Harry, Mr.. Griswold! what are you
made of, anyway"
"Of poor clay-ike other men.
But didn't that fellow Buckmaster
tell the truth?"
Good heavens, no! He laid the
fire himself; was in the. very act

cause-well, because l thought I'd
like to do you a good turn. 1 tried to
save the camera in the tangle-up that
followed, and that is how they came
to down me-"
Griswold grasped the hand which
had not yet been wholly withdrawn,
and wrung it heartily.
81 did you very great injustice,
Mr.. Griffin, and I'm sorry. That's
but poor amend, but it's all that I
can make"
And with that he turned abruptly
and left the other standing at the
hotel entrance.

mob; and fronting it all one man
with his wits about him, and stead
fast determination to do or die, or to
do and die, if need be, shining in the
cool eyes of him.
And in the end the one man got the
victory. For some soul-trying min
utes, score of them it might have
been, he stood in the doorway in in
slant peril of his life, but he neither
fiinched nor spoke again. How long
he could have kept the raging mob at
bay he was not to know, for in its
own leisurely time the alarm spread
and help came from the town. A
squad of freshly sworn-in deputies
poured into the street, fought its
way to the great gates and Joined
forces with the armed guard in the
yard, and SO the rioters were slowly
pressed back and out of the street
and dispersed. Then, and not, till
then, Griswold lowered his weapon
and spoke to the man whose life he
had saved.
''It is over for this time" he said.
I'VE can make a circuit now and
reach the hotel without difficulty, I
think"
They went by a roundabout way,
and neither of them spoke again till
they stood beneath the portieo Of the
St. James. Then Griffin thrust out
his hand.
Il owe you another good deal
bigger one, this time, Mr.. Griswold."
Griswold seemed not to see the out
stretched hand. do you? There shall
be no charge in my book, Mr.. Grit

"It's all right for you to say that:
but happen to be a man like other
men. and keep set of books of my

Griswold was still ignoring the
held-out hand. "n you think you

Griffin boggled at this, but said
finally: "My chief"

"FoIlow mel" he commanded; and
a minute later they had opened the
darkened office by the back door.
When the door was shut and locked
again, Griffin looked about him in the
semi-gloom-
"It's out of the frying pan into the
fire, isn't it?" he said. They'll storm
this place in about a minute-and
take it"
The augmenting yells in the street
told that the mob was increasing it's
numbers rapidly, and that the melee
on the sidewalk would presently de-
velop into a riot. Griswold stepped
to the telephone, but the call bells
were dumb.
They've cut the wires," he said.
coolly. "That means fight. Are
you armed?"
The detective laughed. "I'm like
the Texas cowboy who was caught in
swimming; my gun is safe enough at
the hotel"
Griswold took down a Winchester
repeating rifle from its brackets on
the wall.

The detective stepped behind the

opened the front door, flinging it
wide. When the thing was done, the
foremost rank of the rioters found
itself looking straight into the sight

Roman Alphabet In Japan.

The Roman alphabet grows more
and more in favor with the nations Of
the earth. The latest country to take
steps toward it's adoption is Japan.
The government recently appointed a
commission to draw up a plan whereby
japanese writing may be made to con-
form to modern English and French
forms. In China progress in the same
direction is reported. and missionaries
there say that the old and infiexible
sign-writing is sure to go. Germany
is rapidly falling into line. and the
number of books and pamphlets
printed in Roman characters increases
year by year. In Russian, however,
the individual alphabet peculiar to
that country still shows no sign of
change-the one country whose litera-
ture is almost inaccessible to the for
eign-born student. But from q broad
survey it seems inevitable that event.

A few weeks ago visitor to Lon

woman in one Of the wards very ill and
thought 1t advisable that she should
see the priest without delay, relat
a London exchange. A few days after
ward, when the old woman had rallied
a little, the visitor said to her:
"Well. Mrs. O'Connor, did the priest
come to you?
She replied: eyes, avic, but was
surprised to find gintleman like him
SO ignorant"
Ignorant! What do you meant"
"Shure, he knows no Irish" Mrs.
O'Connor knew her prayers in Irish,
but could not say them in English.
"Well, that is unfortunate" the Lady
replied.

Santa Fe, N. M, Feb. 23.-Thomas
Hughes introduced bill in the legis-
lative council to repeal the law pro-
viding for an exhibit at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition at st. Louis Mr..
Hughes is one of the commissioners to
the exposition, and his bill is there
fore significant. He gives as preamble
to his bill that large amount of mon
ey has been collected for this purpose,
but that many Missouri people are
opposed to statehood for New Mexico,
as is shown by some of their newspa-
pers, and that therefore no official
New Mexico exhibit should be made at
ST. Louis. The bill provides that the
money collected be distributed among
the several territorial educational in
situations.
