An Artists Generosity,

The famous painter Corot and his
sister were joint owners of some
house property in the Faubourg Pois-
sonniere. One day one of the tenants
"a tailor-came to Corot and said he
could not pay his rent.
What can do for your" asked
Corot. II cannot intercede for you
with my sister, because ! am not on
good terms with my family" CAS- a
matter OF fact, Corot was regarded as
a failure by his family.) How
ever" he added, here is the money
to pay the rent, only don't let anyone
know have given il to you"
The tailor after this used TO return
periodically when his rent was due and
obtain the money from Corot, who re-
marked on one occasion, 81 appear TO

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands of DeVout Pilgrims.

Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning TO the
temples of Jagernath, says the Cal.
cutta Statesman.
The image of the god is placed on
conspicuous part of the temple, so
that it can be viewed at al advantage
by the immense crowd OF pilgrims,
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner Of the temple. There is a pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

after the tolls of life He giveth his be-
loved Sleep"
Elizabeth M. Brinkman was born
at Rockville, August 2Sst, 1851, and
in early childhood moved with her
parents to Hurricane, where she
grew to womanhood. She was
married to H G. Bryan, Sept. 18th,
1858, and died Sunday, Feb. 18th,
1908, of pneumonia.
A faithful wife, loving mother,
a kind friend and neighbor is at
rest, although hearts are sore for
those who remain.
Immediately after their marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryhan settled on
the farm in South Lancaster, where
they have resided until five years
ago when they moved to Lancaster.
Their marriage was most happy
union and to them were born two
daughters, Hazel and Floyd who
with their father and seven brothers
and sisters and hosts of friends
mourn the loss of this most excellent
woman.
Being of quiet, unobtrusive
nature and always so devoted to the
interests of her home and family,
she was loved and respected by all
who knew her. The faneral was
conducted by Rev. Morgans at the
home Wednesday, p. II. A very
large attendance bespoke the sym
pathy of the people for the family
and the profound respect for the
departed.
The choir rendered beautiful
songs. Mr.. Morgans spoke words
of comfort from the following:
'Cast thy burden on the Lord and
He will sustain thee" The floral
emblems were many and beautiful.
The Rebekah lodge of which
deceased was a member, attended

their family; the other members are:
Fred Brinkman, Waverlv, Iowa;
Clara, Bellingham, Wash; Ed. Lam
