was a source of considerable regret to
a number of its citizens. In good time
the omnipresent philanthropist arose
in their midst and said that he would
build church and present it to tho
town. This man was the founder, John
II. Williams. He had q good deal
of trouble in getting material for his
church. The first lot of shingles was
so bad that 1t could not be used, and
the builder decided to send to Europe
for q fresh supply. He was a man of
considerable wealth and had arranged
to spent at least $4,000 on the struc-
ture He was destined not TO see the
fulfllment of his plans. He died while
the decorators were at work on the
interior OF the building. His pet dog,
an animal of which he was extremely
fond, died at about the same time.
Williams did not leave any directions
regarding the furtherance Of his plans,
nor state what disposition should be
made of the remains, so the widow
took the reins in her own hands. Work
ON the church was stopped and the
doors were closed.
This church." she said, shall never
be used as place Of worship. 1t shall
stand just as it is-a monument to
my dead husband"
And she caused the dog to be buried
with him, for his love for the animal
amounted to a passion. The dog had
been his constant companion in life,

SENSATION Lust LIMBS.
How Affections of Nerves Have Sur
prised and Annoyed.

prised and Annoyed.
Men who have arms or legs ampu-
tated are discussing the sensations ex-
perienced by men who have lost an
arm or a leg, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. There is a special appropriate
ness in this because the matter is
largely one of experience or hallucina-
ton.
In the first year after the close of
the civil war the government distribute
ed to discharged soldiers 1000 artific-
ial limbs. This represented probably
less than one-half of the men who lost
either an arm or leg. AS most OF
these amputations were hastily per
formed, it is not strange that nerves
were not as well taken care Of as in
these modern days.
But whatever the cause, men who
suffered amputation had some strange
and trying experiences. For example,
an officer who never had had hal
lucination in his life was at times tor
mented with an itching on the bottom
of the foot that had been cut off. The
sensation was just as If the foot haa
been there and the victim had to bear
the itching beyond his reach.
A lawyer who had lost a leg, who
came some years ago to practice In
the Chicago courts, at times would
jump about on his one leg, excited
and veXed because he felt something
between the toes of his right foot
which had been taken off in the sec
ond year of the war. A general officer
who twenty years ago was active IL
political campaigns would occasional
ly, in the midst of a speech, kick ou
times he had the feeling that the foo
on that leg was asleep" and h'

In another case a man who had los
an arm had the sensation of itchin.
between the fingers of the missing
hand. He explained to surgeon, ant

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY.
This Ia the Most Encouraging for a

subjects for the beginner are land.
scapes, so we shall speak of these first.
The most important point in the pho
tographing of landscape is the selec
ton of it, the choosing of a bit of
scenery which, when translated to
black and white, will form an inter-
esting picture. You must always bear
in mind that the beautiful cOlOrs which
you see in nature and upon the ground
glass will not be present in the photo
graph, which must rely for its beauty
upon form and light and shade. When
you wish to Photograph landscape,
take plenty of time to think about it.
After you have chosen your subject,
determine the point of greatest inter
est, and then decide whether the pic
ture will look best with this point
directly in the center, to one side, OF
toward the top or bottom.
If you live near the spot you intend
to photograph. it will pay you to notice
at what time of year it is most beauti
full. Some landscapes look very com
mOnplace in summer, but make stun
ming pictures when half buried in the
snow. Waterfalls often look best il
early spring, because there is a greater
volume of water pouring over then
at that time than at any other.
a most interesting series of pictures
may be made by choosing a beautiful
bit of landscape and phOtographing i
from the same point at frequent inter
walls throughout the year. The frs
picture, we will say, is taken whel
the ground and trees are covered witt
snow; the second when most of tn
snow is melted and the rest lies il
patches here and there; the third whel
the fields are flooded with rains. Afte
these would come pictures Showing
the trees in bud, in leaf, in blossom
with fruit, and later dismantled wit
the frosts of autumn.-Philadelph

A newspaper man was the second in
line at the box Office of one of the
popular theaters on the opening night.
The first man asked for four seats,
and when he started to pay for them
the man in the box Office said:
ooh, that's all right. There's no
charge at all for those seats"
The man looked surprised, thanked
the ticket manipulation and went on.
Then the newspaper man had his re-

please satisfy impertinent curl
osity and tell me why you wouldn't
take that mans money"

BIN Watkins was a chap who used to get
his feelin's hurt
Most every time he turned around; he
thought folks done him dirt
III theyd neglect to run across the street to
shake his hand;
He used to have a notion that folks set
around and planned
To slight him everywhere he went; most
everything you'd say
He'd twist till 1t would seem to be slur at
him, some way.
At parties when the gipg would get alone
and giggle. Sim
Was always sure to think that they were
maxim fun of him:
At meetin' when the preacher threw out
hints, as preachers do,
Sim always took EN- to himself, kept put
tin on the shoe;
If folks would count the change he'd give
1t made him mad, you see
He thought by that they had their doubts
about his honesty.
He's dead and gone. he didn't leave a great
deal when he went,
In lookin' high and low for sights his time
was mostly spent,
And ! suppose, If he's above. where people
get their wings,
And draw the tickets for the harps and
golden crowns and things,
He's settin' back and thinkin' that the
happy angels there
Are laughin' at the way he looks in what
he has to wea.
