THE OLD SEA SERPENT
How King M@Fvidu@ Lost His Life
\ the sea serpent season of summer 1

m the sea serpent season of summer
resorts ii is a matter of some in
terest to note what the ancients
had TO say of this horrible monster
whose existence has been asserted in
all ages, but whose body can never be
procured for any museum, and who
never leaves his bones where they can
be found
The Greeks told the story of the
many-headed hydra of Lake Lerne, in
Greece, which was slain by Hercules.
As fast as one head was struck off by
the hero two new heads Immediately
appeared on the same neck. 1t was
only by soaring the neck as soon as a
head was struck off that this was pre-
vented, ard the monster was finally
despatched.
The Greeks also told of the serpents
of the Aegean sea which coiied their
Shiny folds about LAGOON and his
sons, as depicted in ancient statuary.
and as related by the Roman bard in
the Aeneid. The ea-serpent story of
the ancient Britons is. of course, very
old 1t relates to time several CEN
turtles before the birth OF Christ. when

Great Britain. Morvidus was mar

wonderfully beautiful and strong. He

and charmed all who saw him by his
splendid physique and his agreeable
manners
His mother was a. mere concubine of
King Danius, his father. But it was as
certain as fate from the time when he
appeared on the scene that he would
succeed to the throne, as he did in his
young manhood. He had no match in
strength in all the kingdom. He made
the kingly power an absolute despot-
ism. Everybody laughed at his jokes.

Three Japanese Journals.

The standing of the three leading
Japanese journals, according to the
London Chronicle, is as follows: The
Jiji-Shimbun, which means literally
timely incident new-hearing," is a
semiofficial paper and may be regard
ed as the Times of Japan. The staff is
composed of well to do men, from
among whom appointments are often
made to the chief posts in government
departments. Rumors are never adj
mitted to the pages of the Jiji-Shim-
DUN, and it has a great reputation for
truthfulness and sincerity. The Nichi-
Nichi Shimbun-i. e., Day and Day
New-hearing, or, as we should say,
Daily Chronicles the organ of the
Progressive party in Japan, while the
koku-Miu Shimbun Il G., Country
Peoples News-which has been calling
tor fearful musters and prepared de-
tense." in its character of the nations
.burnal is regarded as less RESPONSE

interesting for that.

School Children Indianized.

The teacher at the Red Store has a
complaint to make against her pupils.
The Red Store is an Indian trading
post as old as Fort Sill, and the chill
dren who live there have grown up at
tending the mission school with the In
dian children and associating with
them in their play. AS a result the
white children have learned the Indian
language, wear gaudy sashes, paint
their faces and put feathers in their
lair. They shoot arrows as we'll as
7oung bucks. They are now attending
heir first district school and, though
holding high regard for authority, re-
use to be taught as civilized people.
They read their lessons aloud in study
and insist on wearing feathers, sashes,
paint and brass earrings and finger
rings in the schoolroom. They jabber
half the time in Comanche and contin-
ne to run away to the mission school,
where the Indian children are. The
teacher has resolved that educating an
unbroken white child in the Indian Ian
guage is quite as onerous as educat ting
the real Indian-kansas City Journal.

de happier oh, no; you would rath-
er say: What is good enough for my
mother and my children is good enough
for you when you are in my house.
When you are rude to my kith and kin
and loved ones, then you dishonor me-"
So the members of a congregation can
not honor God unless ut the same time
they are ready to welcome and honor
all Of Gods children, no matter to
what social caste they may belong.
Honor the Church.
But, though Christian etiquette in
the house Of God should mean much.
how many churches are sinfully trying
to become the churches of class instead
of the churches of a great Christian
democracy? Can we not, one and all.
be large hearted enough to know that
there is only one true gospel aristocra-
CIV, and that belongs to the noble serv-
ing class which Jesus described when
he said. whatsoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servantY
AS you would never be rude to my
child because you love me, so may we
in our church etiquette never cast a
slur upon Gods children. May we new
er jostle or push any one away from
us. We should all belong to the gospel
clan. We should feel that we are all
brothers and sisters in Christ and that,
therefore, by the gospel freside there
shall be plenty of room for all the
members Of the gospel family.
Lastly, refined and consecrated
church behavior is demonstrated as
much in the way congregation dis
perses as in the way it assemblies. If /
make a social call upon you and you
are polite and respect me, you do not
try to show your impotence even
though l do stay a little longer time
than | ought. You do not cape and
yawn and take out your watch again
and again to look what time it may be.
You do not get up and go out into the
hall and put on your overcoat and then
hold your hat in your hand as though
you were ready to run away at the first
opportunity. If you acted thus would
certainly take the hint and leave as
soon as possible. Neither should you
be rude in church etiquette.
During the last part of the sermon
you should not be signing and turning
around to watch the clock. During the
last hymn and the last prayer you
should remember that you are there to
sing the praises of God, to hear his
message or to commune with him, and
you should not meanly steal that time
away from him to button up your coat
and fix your wraps and put on your
gloves. From the beginning of the
service to the end you should honor
the church, the church altar, the ser
mon and the music, because in so do
ing you are honoring Christ.
AS we began with the words, "That
thou mayest know how thou oughtest
to behave myself in the house of God"
let us close with the psalmist's words
which he wrote for the temple when
David sang, Il was glad when they
said unto me, Let us go into the house
of the Lord" He meant it. Let us
prove by our actions and our observ-
ance of church etiquette that public
worship is not a drudgery and a repul-
sive slavery. but a joy, a happiness
and an opportunity for continuous Cos
pei pleasure. Let us worship 1.-The Lord
In the beauty of holiness with refined
and cOnsecrated church manners.

Chicago Financial Concern Sought to Learn Courts Decision Before

The honorable the chief justice and the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States (God save the United States and this honorable court) would be highly edified and, doubtless, amused if they realized the amount of transformation as to their expected pro- cedure with the merger decision which exists in Wall street circles Wall street seems to think that an advance tip Of the scope of the decision can be obtained by holding up justice in a corridor or most any old place.
 The correspondent of & Chicago financial concern received this sugges- tion from his house: -%
 You must get us that decision. AS soon as the judges starts to read it, and before he reaches the final statement of tho decision, the judges on the bench would doubtless feel relieved from secrecy. You might skipup to the bench and ask one of the judges whats doing and give us a tip.
 Or you might engage the attorney general in conversation. would be will ing to take his Judgment about the out come, although, Of course, we want to be sure"

CUPID'S GAY FRANKS.

A Batch of Love Stories Found in One Weeks Exchange List--Woman Gives Fortune to Former
 Sweetheart.

It has been said that lightning never strikes twice in, the same place. In this Cupid has the advantage of Ajax, for he can send his arrows twice in the same heart if need be. This was so in the case of William Gregory and Mrs. Dethena Gregory. Sixteen years ago they were divorced When they were married Gregory was 20 years old and his wife IT. ..s
 "We were really too young at the time to be married," said MT. Gregory, "and we did not get along smoothly, so by mutual agreement we separated. went to Chicago to live, and returned to Mount Vernon five years later, but we did not make up Sixteen years ago we were divorced. m@E
 Our son, Henry, was four months old when I left, and I had not seen him from that time until I met him the day my wife and I were remar- ried."
 Both mother and father said that their son had been trying for years to bring about reconciliation, and his efforts had finally been successful.

He would have rich parents, be big, husky fellow, slow in his studies, but the greatest half back known to the fotoball world. But he wasn't.

 Cupid sometimes finds difficult task to reach the hearts of some men. Now, there's the mail clerk. He Is jolted back and forth across the coun- try in a railroad train day and night, with little chance of seeing a pretty girl, to say nothing of becoming ac- Quainted with one. But Charles Roach, of Laporte, Ind, somehow found time. He met Jane Broughton in Paw Paw, Mich. She liked him, but her parents did not So 1t happened one day Miss Broughton went to Laporte to visit friends. When she got off the train it was to get on to another with Charles Roach, and they were married the same day in Chicago.
 J. Alonzo See, a clerk at Yonkers, has been loft a fortune of about $200s 900 through the death of Mrs. Helen Jennett, of Detroit, to whom he was at one time engaged to be married. The engagement was, it is understood, broken off through some misunder- standing, and since both have married. Mrs. Jennett's husband died a couple of months ago, and, so far as Is known. she had no living relatives.
 Mir. See was completely surprised when told of tho legacy, The news came to him with the announcement of Mrs. Jsnnett's death, Since her marriage he had seen Mrs. Jennett only occasionally, and she had told him nothing of her intentions.
 Mrs. Jennett inherited the estate, the bulk of which will go to See, from her father MT. Kline. and from her sis ter. Besides a quantity of real estate there are steam yacht, horses and carriages, jewelry, and other personal property. Margaret Fitzpatrick, daughter of James Fitzpatrick Southern rail- road engineer, and Joseph Lynch, a boilermaker, both of Ludlow, came to Covington on Monday and were mar ried by Squire Thomas Dunn. The brides parents objected to the mar r:age, and instead of returning to Ludlow to celebrate the event they went to the home of John Terry, of West Covington.
 After the daughters departure from home the parents withdrew their ob- jections and started boy In search of the runaway couple with a letter for giving them and requesting them to l return to Ludlow.
 They were found in West Covington while the wedding supper was in l progress. Later they returned to Lud- ) low.
