Story of n Good Bishop,

Middletown's old blue law Sunday, under Mayor Fishers orders, reminds one of the story told by local official, who at the time was member of the choir of Holy Trinity church.
 One Sunday morning when the weather was disagreeable and the ray of hope was not imprinted on the face of the choir members, the late Bishop Williams, who was loved by all who knew him, entered the church, ani was quick to note that the singers were inclined to be little gloomy. The good bishop asked what was the mat ter, and said he would tell them a story to cheer up the gloomy feeling. The bishop went on, and stated that he was called into the country to pre- side at a service one Sunday morning, and that he was conveyed in a carriage to his destination. On the way he mo- ticed some small boys fishing from a bridge, and the thought entered his mind that he would stop and remon- strate with the boys for fishing on Sun day. On second thought the bishop de- cided that he would pass on and let the incident go unnoticed, The bishop, however, did finally stop, and asked the boys if they did not know that it was wrong to go fishing on Sunday. The defense of the boys was not readily put forth by their spokesman, and the good bishop, all this time had his eyes forgetting his priestly office for the moment-on one of the corks attached to fish line. The cork played up and down with the ripple of the water, and the small boy had his attention drawn to this bishop All at once the corR disappeared from the surface, and the good bishop called out to the little fish erman that he had bite, and added with considerable vim, Pull in, pull in!" The bishop often told this story
 and when he related 1t to the choir, l the downcast look which the gloomy weather had caused to overcome each face changed su1enly, and each counte- nance was wreathed in smiles.

ANCIENT CUBAN TOWN. PRES. CISNEROs' HOME Contains Modern Hotel and Peculiar Checkerboard
 Church

Camaguey, situated very near the center of the island, S45 miles from Ha- vana by railroad, and the capital of the province of Puerto Principe, Is one of the oldest and quaintest towns in Cuba and has always been celebrated for it's opposition to Spanish authority. It boasts the finest climate in Cuba; some oflits proud citizens go still farther and insist that 1t has the finest climate in the world The temperature seldom varies winter and summer more than four or five degrees, TO fahrenheit at midnight and 80 at monday, With a cool breeze always blowing from the X ocean, which is forty-three miles in one direction and about the same dis tafice in the other It is an ideal place for lazy man to spend the winter, and, thanks to Sir William Van Horne, Camaguey has the best hotel in Cuba, and the only one that l have found where tired traveller may lay his limbs upon a hair mattress and his head upon pillow of feathers. At other hotels the beds are entirely with out mattresses. They spread a com fortable or a blanket over woven wire springs and expect you to lie upon that When you get up in the morning your skin is covered with marks, show ing the meshes of the wire and your neck aches from long contact with a pillow made'of wool stuffed into a large sausage-skin so hard that you could not make a dent in it with a sledge- hammer At Camaguey, however, you can get real comfort and you will hate to leave the hotel when it is time to go
 It is a monstrous building, originally @ monastery and later a cavalry bar racks, and under the surface of the courtyard Is cistern that contains several million gallons of water intend ed for the use of the garrison in case of a siege. There is noth ng to do in Camaguey, however, but to watch the band play. The roads are too rough for automobiling, and too dusty for driving or riding. Sir William might have made a tennis court and provided golf links for his guests, and probably will do so in time, when the hotel be- comes better known, and the patronage increases. At present most of the pa' irons are officers of the Seventeenth In. fantry and their families There are a few railroad men, for Camaguey is the headquarters of the Cuba Railroad company and also of the spectators in Cuban lands. Several amiable agents from Chicago may be found here, who will sell you anything they have and find you anything you want. Colonel Van Orsdale of the Seventeenth Infantry, modest as well as model soldier, is in command of fine camp
 His officers and men have done credit to their country. They not only have the friendship of the people, but are very popular among them, and every body will regret to have the Seven teenth Infantry ordered away.
 Puerto Principe, as a province, ant the people of Camaguey in particular have always been opposed to Spain This city has been a hotbed of revo- lution and during the recent war wa

Many Societies Have a Beneficial In-
 fIuence--A Good Joiner Is n Good
 Citizen.
 Americans have a genius for organ izat!on. We are a nation of 'joiners.' . In no other country are there so many ssociations-social, literary, beneficial or simply spectacular. The man who IS not a member of some lodge, Conclave or order, or at least of genealogical or patriotic society, is eccentric. The Thaw jury, 1t is said, have organized for further reunions, the latest example of the disposition of Americans to form fellowship or fra ternity on the simplest pretext. In Chi cago there is a fourishing society of the Sons of Massachusetts, and doubt less the Sons of Illinois are we'll or ganized in Boston. The list of patri- otic clans Is imposing. One must be singularly bereft of distinguished an- cestor somewhere along the genealogi- cal line if one cannot become a his- toric son or daughter of some sort. In the last resort an association might be devised, the membership to be com posed of those who do not belong to any other brotherhood. so that there may be a fraternal refuge for every body.
 The innocent love of distinction which the philosophers say is insep- arabic from humanity finds full grati- fcation in the multitude of guilds. open or secret. One may not be able to win a high place in the political arena, but in the fraternities there
 are enough offices to go round, and favors are distributed impartially. Il would be doing an injustice, however to these institutions to say that they minister soley to these vanities. Many of them are highly educative. They have become the substitutes for the debating society which once fiourished throughout the country. Many ot the skilled parliamentarians of the day took the first lessons in their art ir some little assembly of their order The insurance and beneficial feature.
