ing entered the profession soon after
his graduation from Depauw miver
sity. He has always shown himself to
be rcsOurccfuI and is never worried 10y
obstacles He had not been at his
present charge long until he found that
his congregation was not rs large as ii
should he ana that while his flock was
as sincere and devout rs in most places
there were possibilities in the way Of
attendance that he resolved to realize
on, and hc set about To do it.
lie figured that many did not attend
church because It was too much bother
10 dress up" and they could he Lore
comfortable at home. 1t was while
reasoning out these influences that Rev.
air. Semans decided To remove them.
He started out by declaring in his ser
mons that it was not necessary 10 be
dressed up to the point of diScOm-
fort in order 10 go To church; that any
hat or dress was good enough, even il
everybody had seen It dozen of times
before. Then came the surprise.
one Sunday fl Glanced 10 be very
warm. and the members who had as
sembled were astounded in the midst
Of the service 10 see the ushcrS passing
lemonade. The pastor stopped long
enough II explain that as the day was
warm he thought those present might
enjoy the services better il refreshed
witu a glass of lemonade: that al home
they queucAed their thirst and rather
than have Them sit through religious
service and suffer for water or other
drink he had therefore arranged the
innovation, which He hoped would be
taken merely as the sensible thing 10
do And every body thought il w.s.
After the services were over Rev. Mr..
SemaEs received congratulations right
and left on his regard for the comfort
OF his hearers, and everybody promised
10 be good.
The next Sunday there was Il percep-
tibie increase IN the size Of the cougre-
CATION, AID lemonade was served as
before. The plan at once became so
popular that ii has become q perua-
nent feature, and now there Is some

Bonaparte Wednesday acted upon the
findings of the court of inquiry in the
case of the Bennington explosion. He
disapproved of so much of the findings
as declare that the Bennington was Tin

in his comment upon the failure of the
officers to look after the safety valves.
He further says that the court of in
quiry's failure to make any finding re-
specting the captain of the ship, Lucien

cry, is also ordered before court-mar-
tial.
