CHURCH CURIOSITIES.
A Parson Who Rode a Hobby.Horse

A short time ago the Church Family
Newspaper asked its readers To send
In particulars OF any church curiosi
ties they had seen or heard about, and
onered prizes for the most interesting
descriptions. The result of the com.
petition Is announced in the current
issue or that paper, and from the In.

Ii seems that about the year 1850 the
rector OF Berkswcll was very fond or

more at home in the saddle than he
was In the pulpit. So he thought II
would be good plan for him to make
a stool with the seat padded and
shaped like a saddle, which could be
placed I'm the pulpit before he ascend

TO infuse more life aud spirit into his

Most visitors look with amused sur.
prise at the following notice in the
porch OF the village church OF Wan

Coal vs.. Gas.

There can be no doubt that gas stove
competition has become exceedingly
dangerous TO the house coal trade, and
that it is becoming keener as time goes
on, while the present comparatively
high price of household qualities is
sure to assist il, unless the price Of
gas goes up. The number OF gas stoves
and cookers now in use all over the
country is quite alarming Goal Mer-

 Goldfield, Dec. 16-Ihe mine owners have suspended the reduced wage scale for period of ten days, and the striking miners will return to work, pending a revision of the scale of wages which will be satisfactory to both mine overs and mine workers. The miners have conducted their strike without violence, and have gained the public respect in so doing, making it comparatively easy for the sontending parties to come to an amicable agreement as to their diff erances.
 It now comes to light that the send ing Of troops here was due to the re- port of one Goldfield mine operator, who went to Washington and filled the ear of Assistant Secretary of War Oliver with grave alarms. The sheriff of the county made no request for troops, saying he could handle the situation without federal assis- tance.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 16-Repub- lican leaders here fear the Taft boom is fiattening. The result of the elec- tion in Ohio, in which the secretary received severe setback in his as- piratiol is having 8 dete mined effect on his campaign. Another potent factor is the outspoken opposition to Taft expressed by the Federation Of Labor and other labor organiza tions. Samuel Gompars, one of the recCg- nized leaders Of the labor element in the United States, bitterly opposes Taft, whom lie claims is fee to Cr- ganized labor.
 Cortalyou, secretary Of the t-eas- ary, is the next choice to Taft, and looms up stronger as the Taft boom subsidies.

 New York, Dec. 17-Winds with a velocity of eiehty-miles an hour are flashing the waters of the broad At lantic, creating seas that roll to mountain night.
 Eleven transatlantic steamships, due to arrive here, are unreported. and grave fears are expressed as to the ability of some of them to survive the fierce hurricane now raging.

ANOTHER NEW STORE
Messrs. Hall, Miller and Harris VIII
Open soon.

Messrs. Hail. Miller and Harris VIII
Open soon.
Belding is soon to have another new
store. This time it is furniture store in
the new Belding block. to be operated un-
der the firm name of the Miller Harris
Furniture Co. Concerning the new ven
ture the Hastings Herald says;
Adelbert Hall and the Miller & Harris
Furniture company have entered into a
co-partnership for the purpose Of conduct
ing furniture business at Belding. They
have rented a store building in that city
and expect to open up stock Of furniture
and carpets about the ] 5th of February.
Mr.. Hall will go to Belding and take
charge OF the store there, which will be
conducted under the name Of the Miller
Harris Furniture company of Beldng.
Belding is a good town about the size Of
Hastings and as there was only one furn-
iture store there the opening is evidently
a good one.
The new deal into which the Miller &
Harris furniture company have entered in
no way affects their Hastings business
These gentlemen are hustlers and are
branching out because they see a chance
do still more business. They inform the
Herald that it is their purpose to push
their Hastings business the coming season
harder than ever.
Mr.. Hall, who is largely interested in
the Belding deal is an energetic and capa-
BILE young business man and will devote
his entire attention to making the venture
a success.
