There is a story that has attracted
considerable attention in the east, prob
ably because it has been brought to the
attention of President Roosevelt, of a
bucolc young mountaineer in South
Carolina. He was without money or
education, but with an earnest desire
to become a Baptist minister A naval
officer on recruiting service ran across
him. and as a good joke persuaded the
youth that service i'm the navy was the
very stepping stone and preparation for
the ministry that he NEEDED. The youth
enlisted, but soon found out that there
were few aids to grace in the navy,
and deserted. He was arrested after
wards and the President has been told
of the circumstances and asked to deal
leniently with the youth.
As a matter of fact and a matter of
interest there is a case not at all dis
youth in Missouri conceived that he had
a call to the ministry for the especial
purpose of ministering to the young men
i'm the army. A recruiting officer sug-
gested that If he would enlist in the
army, promotion to a chaplaincy would
not be difficult, especially as the army
was looking for devout young men for
chaplains' jobs. The unsophisticated
youth believed, and enlisted. But it
didn't take him long to find out that
promotion from the ranks, to chaplain
were never heard of. Then he settled
down to serve out his term of enlist
ment. But he had plenty of idle time
and he fell in with a crowd that never
had any idea of seeking a chaplaincy,
but did want the aid of a kind of ability
the young fellow possessed. The re-
suit was that the bunch are all doing
time over in Oahu prison. 1 saw the
young candidate for a chaplaincy pull
ing weeds in one of Jacks wayside
parks the other day I don't know
whether he has given up his hope of en-
tering the ministry or not.

My friend Dan Logan was about town
looking sadder than usual the other
day. 1t appears that he had been to
the dentist to have a tooth filled. But
this, though good reason for anyone to
feel sad, was by no means all his
burden. Dan had swallowed the filing.
After the dentist got through he went
to Notes and INDUCED in corn beef
hash 1t was so nice that he ate fast
and the filing came out and Dan
swallowed it. ct don't know whether [
shall live or not" he said an hour or
so later. But he is still patronizing
Notes. He has not, however, had the
tooth refilled, 1t has boon sawed orr
instead.
The Bergstrom music company has
had some very interesting Fourth of
July relics in it's window. For instance
there was the hat which George Wash
ington wore when he crossed the Della
ware, also the first gun that was fired
at the battle of bunker hill These are
certainly Of high value as relics, and,
duly labelled as they were, they at
tracted considerable attention. 1 I'M
derstand that they were supplied by
Chester Doyle.

Anybody ought to known that it
was the morning following the Fourth
of July.
This is the way that the local Court
Canoes of Foresters has worded a very
attractive invitation to a smoker for
next Tuesday night Members are
requested to bring life preservers as
there will be a "Tidal Wave" of liquid

A. w. Seapury the chicken expert,
has had to stand considerable joshing
from his friends over his progress in
raising chickens They have declared
that Seaburys chicken raising did not
get beyond the initial stage of soft
boiled eggs for breakfast. On the
Fourth of July Seabury proceeded to
make them, the joshers, eat their words
by entertaining them at a swell chicken
dinner. The chickens were from Sea-
burys hatchery and were as President
Roosevelt would have put it had he
been there delightful.
