At recent dinner, which was at-
tended by number Of clergymen,
President Buckham. OF the Univer-
sity OF Vermont, told tho following
of Bishop Hall, OF tho Episcopal Dio-
cese OF Vermont. In response to some
good-natured chaff about the liberal
views of the Congregational church
and the ease with which almost any
body could Join It. says the Pitts

He said he had heard of a negro
who had many times applied for
membership in st, Paul's Church at
Burlington. but had not been able to
satisfy the Bishop that his state OF
mind entitled him to admission. The
negro had been advised to pray that
his spiritual condition might Inn

After doing so he made new ap-
plication. The Bishop said to him:

The Art Of IdlIng.

Cultivate the art Of idling. There is
no doubt that to be able to idle at will
Is a most valuable gift and one which
is becoming rarer every day. The art
of loafng is not properly understood
by the majority Of people. Much has
been written on the subject. Steven
son dealt with it in an essay; Mr..
Kenneth Grahame touched on it In
Pagan Papers" and Mr.. Barry Pain
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book.
There Is subtle difference between
the views of these experts. Mr.. Gra-
hame advocated absolute idleness.
Mr.. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art of loating was to do
the easiest thing and that sometimes it
Is easier to work than to be idle. This
j. the secret of the whole matter, The
superficial idler thinks it his duty to
be idle on every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this Is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we feel
that we must be up and doing. If we
sternly repress this inclination our
peace is disturbed. The really scien-
tIiic idler Is the man who can idle at

DELIBERATELY WRECKED.
Theory Of Vice President Smith az to
Brewster Disaster.

New York, March "a theory that
the Brewster express which was de-
rallied on the Harlem division Of the
New York Central two weeks ago
causing the death Of more than a
score OF persons, may have been de-
liberately wrecked. was advanced by
Vice President A. H. Smith while tes-
tifying at the coroner's inquest. He
testified to finding in the forward right
wheel of the smoking car an linden
tation large enough to roll your
thumb in."
A similar indentation was found in
the second wheel of the truck and an
other on the pedestal of the truck.
Evidently there was a bolt placed
upon the track" said the witness when
the coroner interrupted him. He was
told that information of this kind
should not be given the jury unless he
could produce evidence to prove 1t.
In testifying before the state rail
road commission, which is also investi-
eating the wreck, Mr.. Smith said that
one of the motormen on the Harlem
division reported early on the day OF
the wreck that there was something
wrong with the track at the curve.
But a section foreman who made an In
spection of the track at that joint. aft
err the report, reported that every
thing was all right, except that the
rails near Woodlawn had been found
"out of surface and wedges had been
put in
The motorman of the wrecked train
testified that he was not running fas-
ter than schedule speed at the time Of
the accident.
The schedule called for about 81
miles an hour at the point where the
wreck occurred Several witnesses.
who were on the wrecked train, have
testified that in their opinion the
train was running at least 40 miles an
hour at the time.

never to buy new spade. To dig a
grave with spade that is new is sup
posed to bring death in the family with

rule. Another superstition with some
is that grave should never stand

be dug till the day of the funeral. If II

I'VE are like the old lady and the

Johnson the other day. There was,
you know, an old lady who rented a
furnished villa for the summer, and
with the villa large dog also went.
In the sitting room of the villa there
was comfortable arm chair. The
cid lady liked this chair better than
any other in the house. She always
made for II the first thing.
Bat. alas. she nearly always
found the chair occupied by the
large dog. Being afraid of the dog
she never dared bid 1t harshly to get
out OF the chair, as she feared that
It might bite her; but instead she
wo,lld go to the window and call
Cats
Then the dog would rush to the
window and bark and the old lady
would slip into the vacant chair
quietly.
"One day the dog entered the
room and found the old lady in pos
session of the chair. He strolled
over to the window, and. looking
out, appeared much excited and set
up tremendous barking.
The old lady arose and fastened
to the window to see what was the
matter and the dog quietly climbed
