WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
1.-THE reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, lis because he
has the right kind of a wife for
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. found out a long
while ago-shortly after / was mar
ried myself, in fact-that man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him"
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man call. According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.

Ingenious, But unavaiIlna.

Wilton, the five-year-old son of
Lackaye, the actor, has inherited the
brilliant mind for which his father is
distinguished.
Not long ago Mr.. and Mrs. Lackaye,
who spent the summer at Shelter
Island Heights, were invited to attend
card party and the young son was
anxious to accompany them.
His mother insisted that he should
remain at home with Mary, his gov
erness, but Wilton persisted and as a
final argument he said:
Mamma, think Mary is Chris
tian Scientist, and I might be taken
sick in the night"
The argument was not effective.

An Atchison woman started out to
buy her fall hat. First she visited
the openings and looked and looked.
Then she took a friend and went
around to the millinery stores and
tried on" again, saying, of course,
that her hair looked perfectly ter
rible." Then she went home and
thought and thought, and, finally,
went back to the stores and tried
on once more; and thought, and
thought, and then bought hat which
is so grotesque and hideous that her
relatives and friends blush with
shame every time they see her wear
1t, and strangers stare at her, wonder
ing what kind of courage it takes to
wear such looking hat. But she
did the best she could.--Atchison

By FERGUS HUME,

Hurd was rather staggered by the
 positive way in which the young wo.
 man spoke. But the facts were too
 plain for him to hesitate. q must
 trouble you to come along with me-"
 he said. Matilda will bring your
 things"
 Mrs. Krill touched the electric button of the bell, while Maud walked up and down, deathly white and fuming. MT. Hay shall see to this," she said in a cold rage.
 "Mr. Hay will have quite enough to do to look after himself" said the de- tective coolly; you had better let your mother go quietly, and I won't say anything to Matilda Junk"
 Matilda entered the room and heard that Mrs. Krill had to go out on business with MT. Hurd. On re- ceiving her orders she departed and presently returned with the cloak and hat. Mrs. Krill, who was now quite cool, put these on. Hurd could not but admire the brave way in which she faced the terrible situation. Maud seemed to be far more upset.
 Miss Junk departed, and Mrs. Krill said that she was ready to depart. Hurd offered her his arm, which she rejected, and walked to the,d door with firm step, although her face was rather white. At the door she caught her daughter round the neck and kissed her several times, after which she whispered earnestly in her ear and then went down the stairs with the detective in attendance. Maud, with white lips and cheeks, but with dry eyes, followed. When her mother was safely in the cab, the plain clothes policeman alighted so that Hurd might take his place. Maud came quietly down the steps and seized the detective by the arm.
 You have ruined my mother" she said in a cold, hard tone; you have robbed me of my money and of the chance of marrying the man love. can't hurt you, but that girl, Sylvia she shall never get one penny-so, re- memberw

FACE SAID TO BE DISTORTED
Judge Denies Motion to Bring Virtual Head of the Standard Oil Company to Boston In S5o,o0o,ooo Suit For Royalties.

noyaltieS.
 Boston, Sept. 17.-It was asserted that Henry H. Rogers is in a weak physical condition, that his face is dis torted and his speech affected, that his left side is not in its normal state and that he is unable to transact any busi- ness or even discuss ordinary affairs, by MT. Rogers son-in-law, Urban H. Broughton, in the supreme court in this city.
 H. H. Rogers, IT,, corroborated Broughton's statements and testified that his father had signed but three checks and power of attorney to open vault since July p. His condition, young Rogers said, had shown some slight improvement in the last few weeks. Broughton also testified that recently MT. Rogers had told him to take up the business where he had left it, as he Rogers) was about done."

HENRY H. ROGERS.
 Rogers twice within the last six weeks and on both occasions he noticed tha he had changed and was nervous.
 Dr. Pratt told the court that he could not say exactly what would be the ulti mate result of the attack last July nol to what it was due. He thought il might be apoplexy, or perhaps a clot on the brain, or perhaps a slight par alytic shock.
 Need Not Come to Court.
 pr. Pratt refused to say in answer to questions by the opposing counsel whether Mir. Rogers condition or re- | luctance to testify in the Massachu. setts suit was due to his fear that he might be called upon to give evidence in the case of the government against the Standard oil company.
 After hearing this testimony Judge Hammond denied the motion to bring H. H. Rogers into court for the pur. pose of testifying in the suit brought against him. Counsel for c. NJ. Ray. mond of Somerville, who is suing Rog. CTS for $50,000,000 for certain petro. leum royalties, sought to prove that Rogers was able to appear in court in spite of the objections of the counsel for the defendant.
 The hearing was on a motion by Raymond's counsel to have the case, which was postponed last week to the April term of the court. replaced on the present trial list. Rogers coun. sel last week told the court that they had not been able to prepare the case owing to the illness of their client. A New Bedford physician testified at that time that Rogers was too i'll to attend the trial. Judge Hammond postponed the case, but he agreed to hear testi: mony regarding Rogers condition.
 Has Aged Rapidly.
 Deputy Sheriff Walling of New Bed. ford testified that he had seen Rogers in the First National bank in New Bedford last week talking with Presl. dent Walter P. Winsor and Rufus A Soule and that later Rogers had walk. cd down the street, apparently in good health.
 President Winsor admitted that he had talked with Rogers last week, but he had spoken with difficulty. and his physical condition apparently had not been as good as it was earlier in the summer. He knew of no business which Rogers had transacted during the last two months.
 SOule denied that he had seen Rogers in the bank, but said he did see him for a few minutes in the old home week celebration on Aug. 2 and that he appeared to have aged rapidly.
