RELATED OF PURITAN BOYS
Westinghouse "Pues" Had
to- Be Built,

1t appears in various quarters that
the Puritan fathers had troubles of
their own. In the book entitled He
reditary and Early Environment of
John Williams" the author says that
in RoXbury, Mass, in its early settle-
ment, as everywhere, boys were prone
to mischief. and special rules were
made for their benefit.
In 1868, when the meeting-h house was
repaired, the new galleries were set
aside as seats for the boys of the con-
gregatfon. Here this element could
be herded under the eye and rod of the
tithing-man and within earshot of the
preacher. With all this, however,
trouble was brewing.
Before long several people COM
planned that they could not sit in the
Westinghouse to their edification by
reason of the disturbance the boys
made in the galleries." This COM
plant reached the town meeting; and
the selectmen were directed to con-
suit with the elders about removing
the boys, and cooping them up in some
place t. be built expressly for this
purpose, or doing anything to rem
edy this evil
Exactly what steps were taken to
remove the boys and the evil so grave
ly confronting the town is not known.
but when John Williams was eight
years old new Westinghouse was
built. In this structure provision was
made for the boys on some part of the
main floor. Some years later a vote
was passed for 'pueing the meeting
house" and the people were given
liberty to build pues round the
meeting house, except where the boys
do Sit
By this action it appears that the
boy question had been satisfactorily
solved by corralling that element in
some nook which was now entrencbed
against the invasion of pews.

When the blood is impoverished the

performed those remarkable cures that

The loss in brush would be felt at any
time, but more keenly now than at any
other time because of the scarcity.
Brokers Out of Brush.
A careful investigation of the broom
corn situation in the Illinois district
shows that fully half of the stock held
In the warehouses in April has been
disposed of and shipped to the manu-
facturers. That fully two-thirds OF
the brokers in Illinois are now out Of
brush is self-evident fact. These
facts lead to the conclusion that the
talk Of the scarcity of broomcorn has
not been very far wrong, and the
brokers who are so persistently bear
ing" the broomcorn market are the
brokers who have not a pound OIL corn.
That there is in the farmers hands no
brush that is for sale at present prices
is also very evident or these same
brokers would be inclined to fill their
orders from the farmers sheds rather
than from the warehouses.

"sHY" At NEW PRAYER BOOK.
Many Presbyterians May Not Use the
Innovation.

New York, May 1.-THE new book Of
common worship has just been pub
lished with the authority of the Pres
byterian general assembly. For three
years a special committee on forms
and services for the general assembly,
headed by the Rev. DIR. Henry Van
Dyke, has been working on this new
prayer book" and the first copies Of
the completed book were received from
the Presbyterian official board of pub
LEGATION on Saturday. The title page
Of the book bears this significant an
nouncement: For voluntary use in
churches"
This is the first time a prayer book
has been offered for use in the Pres
byterian church. The opposition to the
book in the general assembly last year
was particularly strong from western
missionaries. One of these sturdy rep
resentatives of the cloth expressed the
sentiments of himself and fellows as
follows:
"Out our way we have to eat can
ned vegetables, canned meat, and can
ned milk but we can't stand for cam
ned prayers"
Now that the Presbyterian prayer
book has been published, all that re-
mains for those who are opposed to it
is to refrain from its use, and it is pre-
dicted by Presbyterian leaders that a
a large number of churches will so
refrain. But in the east and in the
large cities Of the country generally
the new book is expected to he largely
used.
AS to the book itself, a number Of
Presbyterian pastors of this city who
were seen yesterday were unanimous
in the opinion that the work of DR..
Van Dykes committee had been ably
done. The book is arranged conven-
iently, the contents are such that prac-
tically all the regular and special
church occasions are provided for, and
more than one clergyman said the
book would prove more useful, even if
it were to be used only by a minister
for his own guidance, and not put in
the hands of the people of the congre-
cation.

here last night that while President

averted. There seems to be every as
surance that the subscale committee
of the organization, which went to

conference this afternoon with the OPP
orators, will be assured by the latter
that there will be do discrimination
shown in case the men are ordered
back to work and that the term the

vidng the men use n little patience
and also providing that the foreman
make an extra effort to restore peace
