An old tradition recounts that when
William the Conqueror landed, for the
first time on English soil he slipped and
fell on his face. Diyining by a swift
intuition that his followers might re-
gard this as an evil omen, he rose with
his hands full of earth, and exclaimed:
@'Thus do | take possession of England!

During a recent visit to Chicago DR..
Robert Collyer told how his mother had
heard him preach for he first time IN
her life at Leeds t~hirty-tive years ago,
and walked proudly away from the
church on his arm. Looking fondly up
at him, she said: I'm not sure, lad,
that | understood thy sermon this morn
ing, and Im not sure | would have be-
lieyed it If | had, but make sure, lad,
l believe in thee"

II. G. Barnabee, the popular comedian
of the Bostonians, tells a story about a
baby which made the hit of the evening
at a certain performance of Patience
in which he took part. There was a
young couple up in gallery" he says,

At one time, during the border war
(says Mrs. Julia Ward Howe In her
-'Reminiscenoes') John Brown had
taken several prisoners, among them a
certain judge. Brown was always a
man of prayer. On this occasion, feel
ing quite uncertain as to whether he
ought to spare the lives of the prison
ers, he retired into a thicket near at
hand. and besought the Lord long and
fervently to inspire him with the right
determination. The judge, oyerhear-
ing this petition, was so much amused
at it that, in spite of the gravity of his
own situation, he laughed aloud. Judge

The late Lester Wallack once told a
story of his still more famous father,
James W., that as either an actor or a
manager he could never tolerate the
ballet, ever where it was seemingly
necessary according to custom as part
of an entertainment or in the opera.
One day there came to him a friend, a
man about town, who said: MY dear
Wallack, it is very curious hat you do
not see the beauties of imagination
shown by the poses of the ballet" Co
ing on in this strain the visitor at last
wore out the patience of the actor
manager, who replied: Look here, it
is bad enough to stand these absurdlties
in an opera, but though | can conpre-
heRd people singing their joys, l am
id If I can their dancing their griefs-"

SMALL MONEY.
What a Quarter Did.

The person who uses the brain and
nerves actively needs food to rebuild
them and replace the waste, and should
not rest on stimulants. Coffee excites
these organs so they cannot get the
necessary rest and nourishment and
steadily tears them down, then other
disorders follow.
''I am under a constant nervous
strain as l have So girls under my
care" writes school teacher from
Knoxville, Tenn.
'I suffered terribly with indigestion
and nervousness in it's worst form, and
maid out hundreds of dollars in doctors
bills. Many of my friends advised me
to quit coffee and use your Postum
Food Coffee, and 1 tasted it once and
Il was something horrible. Some time
later I met a friend who wished me to
trv a CUP of Postum and her manner
was so convincing that I finally tasted
the Postum to please her. Great was
my establishment to ind 1t SO different
from what I had drunk before and L
Immediately asked how the difference
In taste was brought about and dis
covered it was simply that the first I
had was orlv boiled minute or two,
whereas Is minutes boiling brings out
the delicious flavor and food value, so
I determined to use Postum in the
future, following tine directions care
fully, and have done so ever since.
my Indigestion has entirely left me,
my nervousness gone and I now feel
bright and we'll after the most tiresome
DAY in the school room. A little 25-cent
package of Postum did ME more good

doctors and medicines" Name given

seriously If not fatally burned in Mil
ford yesterday afternoon. The unfortu-

tween the two wires and In a few Sec

astride the wires. Both legs were very
severely burned from the knees to the

a proclamation Issued by Argentine an
archists and aimed at Senior Quirno-
Costa The initiative for this attack
on the vice president was the recent

-FOUR p. T.. BISHOPS INVOLVED.
SHIT Over a Legacy of s25, 1000 Left by
Maria nc. Mount.

Maria nc. Mount.
New York Jan. Suit over the con-
struction of will, WHICH involves four
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church, has been brought and the case
will be heard in the supreme court
within few days. The point at issue
is the disposition of a legacy Of $25. 900
left by Maria P. Mount, daughter of the
late Richard Mount, New York law
yer.
This bequest was made to Bishop
Tuttle-&',e en- bishop of Utah, or his sue
cessors, in a will made in 1880. Miss
Mount died in 1899. In the meantime
the diocese of Utah was twice divided
When the will was made it included
the territories of Idaho and Utah. Now
Utah itself is a diocese and Idaho is
divided between Montana and Wash
ington.
The legacy was left with the stipula-
ton that $4,000 should be devoted to
building church and $1,000 to building
a rectory within the diocese. The re-
suit is that there are four claimants for
the bequest and the eirs-at-law set up
the counter claim that the diocese of
Utah, to which the bequest was made
| has passed out of existence and that
the legacy should, therefore, revert to
them.
Charlotte A. Mount, sister of the tes-
tatrix, as Administrative, has brought
the suit to define the will. The four
bishops in the case are futile, now of
Missouri; Funston, of Spokane; Walls,
/ of Boise, and Leonard of Utah. Miss
! Mount left an estate valued at 100000
which she had inherited from her fla
Their Although all the changes in the
! diocese took place before her death it
seems she made no change in her will
