Tinware Causes Complaint.

The people who patronized the hall
complained more Of the tinware than
of the meals, and some Of them went
TO hotels and otter eating-houses after
the. second day. The ministers in at
tendanee at the conference were among
those who registered the loudest and
longest complaints, the most grievous
thing Of which they complained being
the absence Of fried chicken.
The two days that Norton was IN
charge there was plenty Of ham, beef
and mutton, but not once was chicken
on the bill Of fare. When the objee'
tions were urged Norton positively re-
fused to serve chicken, giving as a
reason that il was so high that he could
not afford to take what would be vol
unfairly paid for II by those who ate
al the hanL He was urged to change
his methods by charging a stipulated
price for meals, but this he refused TO
do, saying that the people in attendance
were religious people, and that Il "ouio
be uRbeeoming in him 10 abandon the
plan which hs had begun.
Many Of his bOarders withdrew 70
hotels. and yesterday Merton closed the
han and dismissed the walters ana
cooks. and retired from tho task OF
running the hall As Christ would do.

ARE TOO
CRANKY
Too Much Tinware and not
Enough Chicken CanS-
ed a Failure

"Christ even could not run a restaur-
ant satisfactory TO lot of cranky
preachers" says A. N. Norton, Of Indi.
annapolis, the famous Marion grocer,
who operates stores "as Christ would
run them" He essayed to run a lunch
counter at the Wesleyan conference at
Fairmount Gas Christ would run It, -
but has abandoned the project, because
the preachers were such persistent and
constant kickers.
Between the preachers and the labor
unions, Mr.. Norton, who is sincere in his
efforts, doubts very much whether the
Son Of Man could continue in business
in this degenerate age.
Norton has been in business in Ma
rion for several years, and is known
throughout the state as the man who
"ruus his business as Christ would
do, ;" and in the grocery business ne has
been very successful. He opened a
store several years ago, sold goods for
cash only, refused to deliver to tho
homes Of his customers, paid his en-
ployes every night, and put prices on
everything he handled
Norton was 80 successful that he
opened another grocery store on the
same plan, and this was followed in
less than a year by another making
three under his management, all doing
good business
Merchants Combine Against Elm.
Norton then attempted 10 branch out
into other towns, but the merchants
combined against him, and he was un-
able to rent a store room in which TO
carry on his business, In one place he
puchased the stock Of goods Of q mer'
chant, but the lease Of tho building en-
pired in few months, and the owner
under pressure from other merchants
refused to lease the building 10 him,
He was forced TO take his stock away
from the town.
At another place tho labor unions
started a boycott against him, on the
ground that he was disorganizing trade
and they, with the I'D Of the local mer
chants, soon destroyed his business. In
Marion, however, whore he arst put
his peculiar ideas into practice, he Sc
cured a firm hold, and is still carrying
on tho grocery business as he believed
Christ would conduct IL.
Just before tho Wesleyan annual
meeting opened he secured the Privi'
leges for the dining hall and opened
the place four days ago. He refused
TO make any charge for the meals
served in the hall, but left IL 10 each
individnal's conscience as 20 what he
should pay, or whether he should pay
anything at all. He paid the walters
good salaries and served everything
beautifully, but tho tableware was all
Of tin, even TO the cups in which coffee
and tea were served, and after the first
day it began TO show the result of
wear,

Isaac had seen big. spotted cats be,

TO the growls OF the young leopards
in awe, covering before the barrier.
Here was an opportunity for Isaac
to appear heroic, and he seized it. He
slipped in under the barrier, put his
face close to the cage, and, accord

through the bars.
In flash. before the boy could

1t is hardly an exaggeration TO say
that the Koreans are the LATEST people
on earth. All day long they lie about
the streets smoking their gigantic
pipes. a native pipe is six foot length
of bamboo. with a metal bowl, and is
carried tucked into the neckband and
down the trousers leg. All work of very
nearly every kind is done by the wom>
en-, who occupy perhaps the most de-
graded position held by the sex of any
nation. The unfortunate female popu-
iation IS collectively a beast OF burden
and denied even the most elemental
recognition as human beings. Ko-
rean girl has no name. She is merely
known as daughter of So-and-so.' her

Els, OF the sacred Heart parish here,
is in receipt of letter from the
Catholic Bishop of Porto Rico Offering
an estate in Porto Rico worth $780,

In gratitude to Father Els, the sisters
and the people of the parish for their

The gift is church property formerly

erty which could not be readily con-
verted into money. The Sisters of the
Sacred Heart have virtually accepted
the offer, and expect TO go to the
island and establish school system
there based on the plan of tue Coz

There are not. however. enough sis

81 great many people contend that
blue grass was first found in Ken
lucky said an eminent Indiana Seolo-
gist. shut this is not so. Blue grass
Is d native of the Wabash valley in
Indiana. 1t was found by William
Henry Harrison's troops during that
solemn march TO Tippecanoe in 1911.
Harrison gathered u small army ut
Ohio Fails and started north. At VIM
cennes the gallant heroes realized that
they could not go 200 miles UP the
Wabash without feed FOR their horses.
General Harrison had two cribs of
corn at Terre Haute and persuaded the
men to go on. As they came on with
hungry horses and scant feed they
found the ground covered with blue
grass.
"Six miles west of Newport. on the
Collett farm, was found bountiful
supply of blue grass. Some places in
the bottom it WAS growing three feet
high, and such feed had never been
heard Of by the Kentucky soldier. At
State Line City more blue grass was
found, and from there to Tippecanoe
the whole line of march was covered
with blue grass.
The seed was carried back to Ken
lucky and sown there. but they could
not make 1t thrive alone in the warm
soil. and It had to be sown with oats
and rye Mr.. Sandusky told me in an
early day that no blue grass grew in
Kentucky until after it was imported
from Indiana Tom Downing of Terre
Haute was an ardent admirer of Hen
ry Clay and once went to visit him ut
his home near Ashland. Ky. After
seeing the fine farm well set in blue
grass Downing suggested that AIR,
Clay let him have some of the seed TO
take back to Indiana.
Tom. don't make q fool of Your
SELF said Clay. The GrandsIre of
Kentucky blue grass is growing
around your house and in the fence
corners of Your fields. We got the
seed from Terre Haute and the mid
die Wabash and afte1 n hard struggle

MONKEY MOTHERS.
They Display More Pure Affection
Than Any other Animal.

Than Any other Animal.
a wild beast tanner of long expert
ence tells some interesting things Of
the affection OF animals for their
young. He had an elephant once, he
says, who did all in her power to spoil
her young one. She fused over 1t and
cuddied it up so that when the time
came for ii to leave the cage 1t was
simply unmanageable. When one of
the men made bold move toward the
baby lie was promptly butted in the
stomach and bowled over In n peculiar
way which the youngstcr had of ex-
pressing his feelings toward those
whom he disliked. At last by ruse
the mother and son were separated.
But there was no such thing us keep
ing them apart. The baby rubbed the
skin Off its forehead and trunk trying
to get through the bars. aud both
walled so long and piteousiy that the
keeper was obliged to put them to-
gether again.
A shy baby camel that passed
through the hands of this same trainer
refused to look upon the world except
from its favorlte station between it's
mothers legs. The mother. too. would
show icE u.SpIeuSuFe AT any cioFt 10
ward intimacy by splitting violently at
every one in sight
The kangaroo also is very fond of
her offspring and will patiently carry
it about long after it is ready to hop on
its own account.
But for display of pure affection
the mother monkey beats any other
animal. and when there is an addition
to the family circle there is general re-
joicins. A baby monkey sticks fast by
its mother, and, asleep or awake, 1t
seems always in her thoughts
