BLAMED IT ALL ON GRANDPA.
Parishioner Evidently Had Taken to
Heart Pastors Sermon.


They are telling very goor story
In certain church congregation Of
one of the large cities. Recently the
pastor OF church preached a ser
mon on temperance. He expressed
himself Of the belief that intemper.
ance was frequently disease, AND
that sometimes those affiicted could
trace back the inception OF their de
sires to their grandfathers. He said
he had known instances Of sons OF
sober, temperate men who became
victims OF the drink habit. On trac
Ing back 1t was found that their grand
fathers had held strong desires for
drink.
Now, the sermon made quite an Inn
preston. particularly upon a member
Of the. congregation who was known
to have occasional love for liquor. Not
long after the sermon was preached
the minister was walking homo ut
night, and he met the member Of his
congregation who had lapses from so
briefly. The man was decidedly the
worse from liquor. but he recognized
his clergyman, and, not waiting for
him to speak, said Good evening.

ROMANCE OF NAVAL CRAFT.
Interesting History Of . ship and
Yacht Called Dorothea.

Among the vessels assigned to the
naval militia is one with history.
1t seems that many years ago, when
itwas the custom of the insurance I'M
derwriters to put up at auction yes
sells that had been long overdue and
not heard from Q young apprentice
In Philadelphia happesed to attend
one Of these auctions at which large
ship named the Dorothea was put up
Tor sale.
The vessel had tax-n aboard very
valuable cargo, which would go with
the ship to the successful bidder, but
the very fact that the property was
so valuable had kept the underwriters
from selling the craft until long after
II had become generally believed that
she was a total wreck:
Consequently the auctioneer cried
the good ship Dorothea many times
without getting . bid. Finally the
young apprentice jokingly bid Eve dol
lars, as nobody would bid higher, the
vessel and her cargo were knocked
down to him. Imagine the astonish-
ment of the maritime world when the
Dorothea was reported sailing into
Delaware bay.
The apprentice sold his prize for
enough to start him in business, and
for years the house thus formed was
one of the leaders In enterprise and re-
sources in the Quaker city. But at
all times the head Of the firm and
his family successors made q point
of owning and operating q ship named
the Dorothea, which name also was
given the Oldest daughter In each
succeeding generation.
Shortly before the SpanishNwar, how
ever. the third head of the house was

Of saving his life. he was advised, was

How Many Settlers Lived While Get

The pioneers Of Kansas win never

central and Southwestern Kansas wero

buffalo bones. Those were hard times
In Kansas and the gathering of these
bones enabled the early settlers to
live while they were getting their
claims broken out for the producing
of crops.

NO buffalo, tor this was In the late
'70s, but their bones strewed the
plains. and these bones we're the only
thing that had a commercial value
and they we're utilized. They were
hauled In great wagonloads to the
nearest railway, often from 50 to 100
miles away, and sold.
The horns were the moro valuable
and they went FIRST, but the rest Of
the skeleton soon followed. There
