CANON CITY PASTOR
POPULAR IN MUNCIE

1t is almost certain that the mem
bership of the First Presbyterian
church will extend call to the Rev.
J. T. Thomas of Canon City, Colo, to
accept their pastorate, recently va
Gated by Rev. Harry Noble Wilson,
who left for an important charge at
st. Paul, MINI. The Rev. Mr.. Thomas
preached at both the morning and
evening services at the local church
and left an impression with the con-
gregation that undoubtedly will lead
to an invitation.
AS a preacher the Rev. Mr.. Thomas
Is popular and his sermons suggest
marked ability. He comes with the
best of recommendations, principally
from the Canon City church, where
Mr.. Thomas succeeded the Rev. Mr..
Wilson as pastor of the Canon City
church when the latter was called to
Muncie. AS soon as Mr.. Wilson left
Muncie, the name of Mr.. Thomas was
suggested as his probable successor.
The Rev. Mr.. Thomas, who is by no
means a stranger in Indiana, accepted
an invitation to remain in Muncie the
remainder of the week. He will con-
duct the mid-week services at the
church tomorrow evening and will
preach again next Sunday morning
and evening. Mr.. Thomas is 32 years
old and is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Tennessee, where he received
considerable military training. While
in school Mr.. Thomas and his class,
mates entered in compact that each
was to return to his native town and
organize military company. Instead
of Mr.. Thomas organizing military
company he entered the Mccormick
Theological Seminary at Chicago,
where he studied for several years.
At the outbreak of the late war, Mr..
Thomas classmates who had organ
lied companies were given permission
by the government to enter regiment
in the army. 1t was then that Mr..
Thomas ceased his work in the theo-
logical school and went to the front
as chaplain of that regiment. His
first charge was in the northern part
of Indiana, where he had a small con-
gregation.
On hearing of the resignation of the
Rev. w. T. Oxtoby as pastor of the
Muncie church, Mr.. Thomas came to
Muncie and asked to be given trial
for the pulpit He was told that the
Rev. Mr.. Wilson had already accepted
a call and it was through local recon-
mendations that Mr.. Thomas succeed

the American naval vessels in the
North Atlantic squadron available for
that purpose.
On Labor day, 1906, President Roose-
welt, on his yacht, the Mayfowers,
steamed through the line of battle
ships, cruisers, torpedo boats. ETC..
and inspected all of the vessels pres
ent. AS he passed. all of the ships
fired a national salute of twenty-one
guns. The next day we left Oyster
Bay and sailed for Newport r. l., a
distance of forty-two miles, but we
remained there only short time when
we left for Gibraltar, Spain, dist
ance of 1880 miles. We were twelve
days at sea and had rough weather
most of the way, consequently sea
sickness was not uncommon among
our crew.
Gibraltar is a large rock, situated
in the channel between Europe and
Africa, and is one of the pillars of
Hercules. 1t is bounded on the north
by Spain, on the east by the Mediter-
ranean sea, on the south by Africa,
and on the west by the Atlantic
ocean 1t is owned by Great Britain
and is very strongly fortified. While
we were there the sailors of the Brit
ish ship Cornwall gave an entertain

sylvania, and we had jolly time as
you may be sure A minstrel troupe
from the soldiers which compose the
garrison gave show on the deck of
the Cornwall for US, and fine lunch
was served at its conclusion.
We took on coal at Gibraltar and
on leaving there proceeded to Naples,
Italy, distance of $50 miles. On ar
irving there we moored about a mile
from the foot of Mt. Vesuvius. While

Their Regrets.

When a wedding guest fails to re-
spond to his invitation, who should
regret it, the guest or the givers
of the invitation? When the Knapp
Hoover matrimonial alliance was in
the making this question proved a
disturbing one in the 'best circles"
of Caseyville. Decision could not
go far wrong in such a matter. Sim
pie politeness seemed to require
that the host should regret the fail
ure of his company to come. So
the mail brought to each person
who had failed to attend the we'd
ding this announcement upon a
neatly engraved card:
"MH. and Mrs. Hoover regret your
not being present on Thursday, the
10th, at the home of the brides par
ents. "-Youth's Companion.

COSTLY CLOTHES.
Costumes Worn by One Set Of London
Boy choristers.

AS a rule, boys are not disposed to
be oyerproud Of their clothes, but a
lad whose Sunday suit costs some
s40 and is of SO striking a character
that it is considered unsafe for him
to walk abroad in it alone might be
excused for being trifie Stuck up"
in this connection.
Yet in London every Sunday there
are ten boys who are thus expensive
ly and brilliantly habited. They are
the ten choristers belonging to his
majesty's chapel in St. James pal
ace, and truly gorgeous are they
when arrayed in their estate suits"
Scarlet cloth is the foundation of
the costume, and bands of royal
purple between rows of heavy old
lace are the adorning of it. Grand
est of all, old lace ruffles are worn
at the neck and wrists, but these are
SO valuable and difficult to replace
that it must be a special occasion to
warrant their being donned, white
lawn bands being substituted as a
general thing.
A boy has to exercise great care
over his state suit, for it must last
him three years, while his undress
suit is replaced every eight months.
The choir of this royal chapel is
one of the historical institutions of
Britain, and many of its old time
customs, including the dress of the
boys, are retained to this day.
Some curious customs peculiar to
st. James choristers may be men
toned. The most interesting of
these is the right of the head boy to
demand guinea as "spur money"
from any officer entering the chapel
wearing spurs.
1t is rela ted that when Sir Arthur
Sullivan was head boy the Duke of
Wellington would always come to
the chapel in his spurs in order to
have the pleasure Of paying the for
felt to his favorite chorister.-Pear-
