Phillips Brooks Preaching,

James T. Wilson was a retired tea
merchant. For years he had been a
devout listener to Phillip Brooks SER
mons. One Easter, after the services,
Mr.. Wilson sought the great preacher.
Mr.. Brooks seemed TO read the
thought that was disturbing the mind
Of his old friend, and said Mr..
Wilson. is it not about time you came
in among us? The Protestant Epis-
copal church has need for such men
as you"
'Mr. Brooks" replied the retired tea
merchant, would the Protestant Epis-
copal church receive me on my ac-
ceptance of your preaching alone?"
The massive, illumined countenance
.ightened in deepest thought, then a
kindly, somewhat saddened, smile re-
Taxed it as he answered: "Mr. Wilson,
[ am afraid the Episcopal body would
not accept you on my preaching.

LIGHT ON DOODLE
CHARGES.

Memphis will return to primitive
shotgun quarantine methods which
ruled during the epidemics of 1S7S-79,
when fever patients died by the thous-
ands. At a meeting of the city coun-
Gil ii was decided to close Memphis to
the world after II o'clock noon on
August Z. A Gordon of armed guards
will be placed around the city, guard
ing all roads and intervening points
and no person will be allowed to pass
in unless he holds written permit
from the Memphis board of health.
II is estimated that the cost of the
shotgun quarantine will approximate
$4,000, which amount is expected to
be raised by popular subscription.
The federal officers made no attempt
to conceal the fact that the situation
in New Orleans is serious, but they
say it is not without hope. and that
success is possible in spite of the
Roadway the fever has gained, par
ticularly In the foreign neighborhoods

Chapelle. The trouble on Lake Borgne
between Mississippi guards and the
Louisiana naval brigade is considered
to have ended.

OLD CHURCH FEASTS
ENJOYMENTS IN THE DAYS OF
"MERRIE ENGLAND"
sazars and Tea Parties Of Modern
Days Had Their Prototypes Long
Ago-Records Show Much Money
Raised by Harmless Festivities.

A curious light Is thrown on ancient
church bazars and charity balls by GER
tain records kept In some OF the
churches in England. For instance, in
the records of Yateley church, which
date from 1543, are frequent refer
ences to church ales," the object of
which was to get money for church
expenses. The feast was organized
by the church wardens, "who provided
good spread at so much head, and
credited the profits to the church eX-
penditure." 1t first appears as the
church ale," then as the kings ale"
then later as ''our banquet at Whit
suntide." 1t was probably held in the
church and went on until 1913, the
year after the civil war broke out,
when, probably, the puritans put an
end TO such festivities. II was popu.
lar, evidently. One enterprising church
warden has left on record all the good
things which were prepared for the
Crondall church ale" in the year 1887.
They had a band brewed a quantity
OF ale and made a profit of SAP. AS
money was then worth nearly ten
times as much as now the church
ale" may be said to have brought in
about $500, which was just 100 per
cent on the outlay. The band was
hired for four days.
Until 1916 the church wardens kept
a church COW and let ii out at 33 cents
a year. A sheep and a lamb gifts

Horrible Work of sluooers.

The tortures inflicted for three weeks
on William II. Wilder by three Chi
cago bandits in an effort.to get $l60
he had concealed is now alleged to
have been the work of union sluggers,
who turned Wilder loose a physical
and mental wreck, after getting his
money and torturing him in the most
terrible way.
Every day and night Wilder's cap
tors, who kept him naked and bound
tightly, would visit him, prick him
with brad avis, burn his feet with
matches and his mouth with acid and
pour water into his throat until he was
unconscious. Wilder's tongue is one
solid blister from acid and fire, his
body is covered with burns, and his
condition is critical
The police believe the case will fur
nish clues TO mysterious murders
Headless bodies bearing marks of in
human torture have been found in the
river. and heretofore there was no clue
at all to the perpetrators. The exist
ence of a sluggers' inquisition has

his meal Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din

none OF the evils that the other fool
