A Remarkable Church,

At Stivichall, near Coventry. Eng
land. there Is unique place Of wor-
ship. In 1910 John Green, a stonema-
son Of strongly religious turn Of
mind, laid the first stone Of the edifice
and seven years later he completed the
building In all that time he had as
ststance from no one, doing all the
work with his own hands until the
church was ready for its interior At
tings. Wooden and even brick build
ings erected by one or two men are
not uncommon. but this Is the only
structure in England and probably In
the world Of which every stone was
laid by one man. The building accom-
modates quite a large congregation,
and the church derives a considerab BILE
revenue from the contributions of
sightseers who are drawn to the place
through curiosity.

TEXAS AND ILLINOIS.

The coming census is likely to
show a population for Illinois of
5000 600. Texas is claiming 5000
000. If these estimates turn ont cor
rect. and the same rate of growth
should continue in both states. it
would not require more than another
decade for Texas to displace Illinois
in the rank of third state. The
change in calculations that would be
likely to correct this prospect is the
possible subsistence in the movement
TO Texas or the greater advance to
Illinois, due to the coming OF the
deep waterway and the nfov M III
of industry to this section of the
union. Illinois is proud of being
third state. and would be quite un-
willing to part with that rank. Aside
from the enormus area of Texas,
which is national in proportion, on
the scale as seen in such European
instances as France and Germany,
Illinois has good prospects of some
day taking first rank in population
and commerce, owing to the central
location, the economies for manu-
featuring and the low cost of distri-
button from this center. 1t has fair

Perhaps the convention which is
scheduled to meet in Fort Worth
today will promulgate a new version
of democracy that may furnish in
teresting reading to some who have
all along thought that they were
democrats. There are so many of us
who have recently been read out of
the party. who were fighting democ-
racy's battles when some of the
leaders OF today We're playing wig

made of us. Time was when democ-
racy was of the people, but things

gown of old blue Japanese crepe,
just inside the parlor door and in
troduced her to the guests. A pretty
pink and white color scheme effected
by white and pink roses with ferns
and potted plants placed to advan-
tage here and there, gave the re-
ceiving rooms an added grace. The
many beautiful and varied souvenirs
of Mrs. Beigers were effectively
grouped about the rooms, giving
them an oriental charm which was
further enhanced by the burning Of
japanese and Chinese incense.
Among these curios, We're cigar and
cigarette holders, things of curious
construction, splendid collection of
coral and other necklaces from the
Philippines and elsewhere, cloth
made from beaten wood and used
for table covers and the like in Ha-

Any big storm that happens to occur

weather men, is dignified by the name
of "equinoctlal storm" when, as a

atmospheric disturbance every week or
two, and those that occur about the
time of the equinox are just taking
their turn and are not the result of the

THE MOSQUITO, AND WHENCE

Referring to the mosquito pest,
the Kansas City Journal says In
former years Kansas City was al
most exempt from the visits of these
ing in greatly increased numbers

mers have brought them as thick as
in the towns further south, in the
gulf states, There is a general i'm

and get a bigger handful of mos
quitoes up on Lake Minnetonka or
on other lakes even further north, or
in Kansas City, than he can gather
anywhere along the gulf coast Some
of the Kansas City mosquitoes ap-
and there is a report to the effect
that when a man brushes one of
them it makes a crash like breaking
down a wicker basket.
However, let us not quarrel as to
who has the most of them or the
finest or the largest or most musical
specimens. The fact is that they are
to be found almost everywhere, and
all kinds of them are troublesome
and dangerous. They are our com
mon enemy in more than a single
sense. The idea is to get rid of it.
The Journal contends that the only
way to get rid Of the trouble is to
nip it in the bud, as it were-to
murder the pest ere it murders sleep
with its exasperating song and it's
poisonous bill. The Journal con-
| tinues: 1T is not at all improbable
that the newly built ponds in the
public parks are largely responsible
