fessed that they did not attend church

The Rev c. b. Mitchell, of st.
James's Episcopal Church. one Of the
richest parishes in the city, laid the
charge at the door of the millionaires.
He said that he had found that relig-
ion was outside of the sphere of the
millionaire's life. He appealed to his
brother ministers to give attention to
"poor millicnaires;" that they were as
deserving of help and attention as
hoboes and drunkards.
Il will venture to say that not fifty
OF Chicago's extremely wealthy men
were at church Sunday" he said in
conclusion.
John Farson, resident Of. Oak Park,
banker and humorist. thought the
statement of DR.. Mitchell rather in

Honey Finding Fird.

little bird very like the London spar
row..
It is found in various parts of Afri-
ca, where wild bees abound, and being
unable to help itself to the honey
which is It's favorite food, it resorts
to human aid. Having discovered a
swarm of bees, it flies to the nearest
h%abitation and attracts by its cries OF
"cherr, cherr, cherr," he attention or
some of the natives. 1t then flies on
in the direction of the nest, uttering
It's cry and waiting for it's followers
to overtake it. Should they be tardy,
it returns to meet them, and seems
trying to urge them on to greater
speed, the natives answering with a
low whistle.

TO hunting prairie wolves on horse
back. In that country we chase the
varmints on Texas ponies with
hounds, and when we get the wolf
within shooting distance we kill him
with a pistol.
Let me tell you II is exciting sport.
Some of the wolves are larger than
a mastiff and a tear up a pack of
dogs in no time. | have even see
the creatures when brought to bay
not hesitate to attack a mounted man..
/ have killed them when they were
leaping for the horses throat, and |
have seen them almost pull a rider
from his horse. Usually 1t takes more
than one shot from a heavy pistol to
slay the wolf.

greyhounds. Contrary to general opin-
ion, a jackrabbit cannot outrun a
good greyhound, except straightaway

pony can run vel a jackrabbit within
half a mile. Those horses can jump,
