N Easter service conducted In
silence, choir and congrega-
tional singing without the
making Of sound. an elo-
quent resurrection sermon preached
without the speaking Of word-that
is the unique accomplishment Of
New York church. To an ordinary
man or woman that sort of service
would be puzzling and without mean-
ing, but If such q one should visit this
particular church and should observe
the rapt expressions on the faces of
the congregation he might gain some
inspiration from them, If not from the
programme itself.

The sombrero Is in style this season

The Panama is the proper thing on

Golf caps-but then 1t is not good

Periodically.

ST. Louis A gray mule-her name
is not Maude-a score of ducks or
divers colors and a creek constitute
the origin of feud that exists be-
tween the houses of Jacob Grossman
and Franz Conrad in Belleville. The
war between these families breaks out
periodically and always ends in law

Ever since the Conrads accused the
CHEESEMAN'S of prosecuting some OF
their ducks the embers of enmity have
remained warm enough to be famed
into life on the least provocation
The families live on North Richland
street in houses facing each other
on opposite sides of the street.
Through the opening of Caseyville
avenue, which begins at the point
where these two houses are situated,
triangular piece of ground was left
vacant.
The CHEESEMAN'S live on the east
side of the street and claim that part
of the old street that is directly in
front of their house. Where Caseyville
avenue branches away from Richland
street is a small triangular piece of
ground claimed by the Conrads. Rich
land creek runs through the yards OF
both families.
Several years ago ducks belonging
to both families swan the surface
of the creek The ducks became
mixed. Each family accused the other
of taking ducks that did not belong
to them.
The war started Grossman plant

Then the Conrads conceived the

high and about IA feet long was built
by the Conrads on the eastern line
of the triangular lot they claimed.
This fence was across the street
from the Conrad house and did not OBJ

When he died in 1856 his widow
was granted the privilege of having
the chronometer corrected at Green

she had reached the age of 81 years.
She handed the business over to the
daughter, and Miss Belleville has car

the astronomer royal
She has about 40 customers In vari.
GUS parts of London, including many
important and old-established firms.
Miss Belleville goes from Maiden

he meets in this desolate country
where everything in nature is at war;
even the elements.
According TO the experience OF MIN
Ing prospectors who have trAVerseu
the worst parts of Death Valley, the
desert has a peculiar influence upon
its dwellers. 1t turns the brain OF
many. and those who have once Jour
neyed across it become fascinated ana

that never can be overcome.
The prospector is another desert
type--half mining prospector and halI
tramp. He shuns civilization until his

returns for another supply. lhese
grub-stake eaters are curious STUDY
in human nature; more so than the
ordinary desert tramp, for they are
shrewd, possess some business ca
pacity, and talk intelligently or per
suasively.
The prospector expects to unearth
rich mine, and lives in expectancy and
hope.
Unless he finds a mine his only re-
ward is bacon, flour, beans and coifee,
his grub stake. His home is on the
desert-where night overtakes him.
When he visits civilization, 1t is to
get another backer-a grub stake or
provisions sufficient to last him two or
three months, and perhaps another
burro. This costs about $50.
He does not go to the "tenderfoot,"
but to the merchant or mining man.

and the search continues.
Every prospector has new story. 1t
