A New Pastor for Bethel.

At a congregational meeting Sunday
of the Bethel church, at which Rev.
r. A. Lapsley, the. out going pastor,
presided, a pastor was unanimously
called, Rev. G. 8. Altfather of Burns
vile, w. Va.
Mr.. Altfather has been serving in
the West Virginia field of Lexington
Presbytery for some two or three
years and with much success as the
pastor of the Presbyterian church
there. His popularity as a pastor and
his fine pulpit qualities were recog-
nized by the Bethel church which
some weeks ago made him overtures
and indicated their wish for him as
their pastor, but it was not till he Wis
tied them two weeks ago that he could
bring himself to believe it to be his
duty to accept the call which has now
been regularly made out and forward
ed to him and will doubtless be accep-
ted.
The church on this side OF the noun
tain will welcome Mr.. Altfather as p
strong addition to the Valley corps of
ministers, but his withdrawal from the
West Virginia field will leave vacan-
cy that will be hard to fill, and pre-
sented difficulty which it Is known oc
casiOned Mr.. Altfather much embar-
rassment.

How III. Liberty BOY. D,a Il.

1t will be remembered that dozen
or more OF the collisions between the
British and the Liberty Boys of New
York just prior to the active outbreak
of the Revolution grew out of the post
ing OF incendiary bills and broadsides.
The manner In which these bills were
posted is curious. According to the
diary OF John Parks. written In 1775.
the work was accomplished In the fol-
lowing manner:
1.-The method lately used In New
York to post up inhammatory hand
bills was the same used in England
at the time OF the pretender. 1t was
done by n man who carried little
boy in box like a magic lantern. and
while he leaned against the wall. as II

Suppose some day when you have
nothing to do and mother is busy
cooking in the kitchen that you try
to make turtle.
It's not so very hard. Ask moth
er for six cloves and one large raj
sin. Stick four cloves into the raj
sin so that the clawlike ends serve
for feet. Use another Glove for the
tail, the pointed end outward, and
stick in a round seed Glove in the
place for head. Then bend all the
feet downward and the head and tail
up, and you have quite natural
looking turtle.
Or you can make pig out of a
lemon just as easily. Remember
that the pointed end of the lemon,
the part that grew on the tree, is
the nose of the pig. At either side

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Trucking the Treneher Is an Old Eng
lish Game.


Trucking the trencher is an old
English game The children sit on
the floor or kneel in ring. A per
son in the center holds the trencher,
or wooden plate, and when all are
ready he truckles, or spins, it, at
the same time calling the name Of
some one in the ring. The one
named must spring quickly and try
to catch the plate between both
hands before it stops spinning. If
he succeeds, he takes the place in
the center, and the first trucker
goes in the ring. If he does not
catch the plate between both hands
before it stops spinning, he pays
forfeit and is counted out.
Then there is the play of twos
and threes. The company is group
ed in twos and threes, usually only
one odd one, and the fun consists
in not being caught as the third.
This keeps each child looking over
her shoulder, for when two are be-
hind the foremost must slip away
and find another place or be trap
ped.
After q stand-up game, a rather
funny game, where all the company
nit, is to have one person chosen to
call and the rest to repeat: One
good fat hen. Two ducks. Three
plump partridges. -Four squawking
Wild geese. Five fslicitous oysters.
