THEY WENT TO CHURCH.
A Bit of Strategy That Won For the

A Bit of Strategy That Won For the
Minister. -. ~.
"When Bishop Wilmer was rector Of
the little Protestant Episcopal church
at Upperville, Va" said a Virginia
minister. "he was much worried by the
nonattendance at service on Sundays
Of the majority of the young men Of
the community. On inquiry he found
that instead Of going to church they
were in the habit Of playing marbles
for stakes. Marbles in those days, 1t
must be remembered, was a much
more serious game than it is now, oc-
cupylng much the same position in the
realm Of sports as do billiards and pool
In these days. e..
g Bishop Wilmer. then 'parson' not
well known, determined to break up
this practice. He himself had been an
expert marble player in his boyhood
Accordingly one Saturday he came
across number of the young men en-.
gagged in game. The good bishop
asked several questions and finally
challenged the lot to play him fol
keeps They readily consented.
Much to their establishment, the
young minister won steadily, and soor
they had to 60 to the stores to replen
tsh their stock. Toward the close Of
the afternoon Mr.. Wilmer had wor
every marble in the town Of Upper
Vile. Putting his winnings in a bag
he remarked as he walked away, Now
gentlemen, since you can't play mar
bles tomorrow I hope to see you al
at church. And he did."-New Yor]

A MANS HAT.
Why Is 1t Always Regarded as Fit

Why Is 1t Always Regarded as Fit
Subject For Jokes?
81 wonder why it is" says a young
gentleman who spends most of his lei
sure time studying human nature at a
populous street corner, that a mans
hat is always regarded as fit subject
for jokes? Anything that happens to
his shoes is a serious matter, and, al
though his vest, especially if it is out
Of the usual in design or color, is
sometimes made the subject Of pointed
remarks, disaster to any other garment
is regarded as matter of sympathy.
But If he goes to church and puts
down his hat at the end Of his pew,
where somebody kicks a dent in it
and knocks it five feet down the aisle,
or if he places it carefully beside him
in a lecture room or theater and a
preoccupied young woman comes in
and sits down on it people laugh with
out seeming to feel the slightest SYM
pathy for him or his sky piece.

hat will travel before he catches up

sustain before it is finally recovered,

chasing the hat, but the heavy felts
and cooked hats of Miller's time did
not lend themselves readily to joking
purposes, for when those old fashioned
headpieces were blown off they drop

Minneapolis, Aug. S.--As step to
and holders of the Pillsbury-W Wash
burn Flour Milling eompany's paper
today petitioned the district court for
the appointment OF receivers to di-
rect the business.
. The petition was granted, the court
naming G. S. Pillsbury, son Of the
late Chas. A. Pillsbury; A. G. Loring,
head. of i the Northwestern Consoli-
dated Milling company, and A. G..
Cobb, an attorney.
The petitioners were the North
western National bank, First Nation
al, Swedish-Ameriean National of Min
neapolis, and the Second National
bank of ST. Paul, together with j. S.
Pillsbury.
There will be no interruption to the
business of the company pending the
reorganization. H..
The capitalization of the Pillsbury-
Washburn company is 100000, di-
vided equally between preferred and
common stock. 2 .s....
1t also has outstanding $4,500,00G
in bonds. The last statement of the
company, issued four months ago,
showed net earnings, of $642, 900.
Against this were bond interest
charges of $250,OOO, dividend on pre-
ferred stock of $177,oOO, and other
charges of 100000, leaving a balance
of only $4,000. The company was
founded by G. A.. Pillsbury, who was
later joined by former Senator W. D.
Washburn. 81
sa The stock is now owned by English
y capitalists, but the mills, which have
capacity of 10000 barrels a day,
are operated by Americans. The in,
debtedness of the defendant. company
is set at more than $5,000,OO0, with.
out security. The book value of the
company.s property exceeds $4,000,
900. The total secured Indebtedness
covered by debenture bonds, is $4,
100000, or total indebtedness OF
100000. .,t ~. -
The liquidating assets are esti
mated at $3,500,OOO unsecured debts
The company has 100000 of it's pro
duct stored in twenty-five states out
side of Minnesota.
The conditions which led to the re
organization of the Pittsburgh Wash
burn company were entirely local tc
that company. The Minneapolis flour
milling business for the last year has
been excellent, and the industry has
, been on solid footing. The suit in
equity for the appointment of receiv
+. ers was entirely a friendly one, as is
shown by the fact that the solicitors
for the company consented to the ap
pointment. It, was asserted, too, al

burn flour company had done a bust
ness of $22,OOO,000 in the last fiscal
year. .s.
