PARALYZED, HE
FOUGHT ON HORSE
IN CIVIL WAR

MACON, Mo-, April 23.-Death
came to John Henry Griffen, 10
years old, as he was seated in his
buggy preparing to drive down
town. When an infant he was at
tackled by a malady which para
lyzed his legs, and he never had
at any time the slightest use of
them.
Despite this handicap he learned
how to ride horseback, and when
the civil war began he enlisted in
Col. Robert Bevier's regiment and
Joined Gen. Prices army He took
part in the battles of Lexington,
Lone Jack and Wilson Creek, rid
ing out on the firing line and dis
charging his carbine.
He was elected county recorder
here and later went into the real
estate business. He married a girl
who had been one of his students.
He left a fortune amassed by his
own industry.

OF COURSE SHE
HAD REASON TO
Be INUNDATED

SIOUX CITY, Ia, April 23.-Be-
cause OF disappointment and hui
initiation over the failure of the
Northwestern railroad to promptly
deliver trunk containing her
wedding outfit, Mrs. r. ID. Echlin,
wife of the pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church, is suing for
$500 in the district court.
The wedding took place at Cedar
Rapids about year ago. The
trunk, containing the wedding
dress and all the finery so dear
to every bride and of much inter-
est to friends OF every bride, was
checked as baggage to Sioux City.
Somehow or other it was shipped
to South Sioux City, and not for
three months was it located. 1t
is now in Mrs. Echlin's possession.
In the meantime members of the
Second Presbyterian church had
arranged numerous affairs in hon
or of the pastor and his bride, and
Mrs. Echlin contends that because
she was deprived of the use of her
new and beautiful clothes at these
affairs she suffered great humilia-
ton.
People expect brides to have fine
things, and it got to be mighty
tiresome explaining about that
missing trunk,

deficients-men who cannot adapt
knowledge to their own uses.
ut is this great second class we
are trying to reach. The first class
constitute those farmers who are
riding in their own automobiles.
They have been farming scientific
ally for years. The great body of
farmers are capable of farming
scientifically if they are shown
how. The deficients are hopeless.
They cannot learn proper methods.
1--WE are reaching the farmers
through about SO travelling agents
of the department. These men in
vestigate the methods of farmers
who are successful. They find out
the most practical methods for the
different districts of the country
and then lecture to farmers.
eve also reach the farmers
through the department bulletins.
The circulation of some of the bull
letins, especially those which take
up concrete examples of scientific
farms, has run into the hundreds
of thousands. The successful farm
err keeps in close touch with the
department and knows as much
about what it is doing as we who
are in it do"

SAN FRANCISCO, April "a
Local Chinese are indignant and
ashamed over the action of Prince
Isai Tao, minister Of war, uncle Of
the emperor and brother Of the
prince regent Of the imperial en-
pire, in deliberately ignoring their
gifts, their expressions of welcome
and esteem.
The walls Of Chinatown yester-
day were pIacarded with Iampoons
OF the youthful prince, in which he
was referred to as a "chiId" whose
ignorance and lack Of poIiteness
was only forgiveabIe because Of his
youth.
Scurrilous jingles and caustic
comments on the prince were
blazoned in red and black in China
town.
The oriental quarter seethed
with wrath and placards had been
up but a short time before they
were surrounded by crowds of Chi
nese. Later the Six Companies
took action and after a conference
decided to order the placards taken
down. There was talk of resist
ance, but finally the assailants of
the prince gave in and the offend
ing signs were removed.
The placards referred to the
prince as a young man who came
from the country and had failed to
learn even country manners before
learnlng city manners Similar

REV. A. L. GRIM OF ELLENSBURG
is TOO STRENUOUS IN HIS
METHODS FOR A SCORE IN
CONGREGATION.

Ellensburg, Wash, March 80
Because Pastor A. L. Grim asked the
men of his congregation to whistle
the chorus in church yesterday morn
ing while the women sang the words,
20 people got up and left the edifice.
Among these were seven men and the
rest were women, who characterized
the whistling as "going too far"
Pastor Grim led the whistlers him
self, and his supporters state that he
can whistle like a professional. He
also had the chorus of the hymns
whistled at Sunday school and the
innovation worked successfully.
Rev. A. L. Grim is a former evan
gelist and his methods are strenuous.
He has more than doubled the men,
bership of his congregation and the
attendance at Sunday school in the
six months he has been here. Besides,
he united church which was for
merly divided by strife. This is the
first revolt against his methods. He
came here from the Ballard Chris
tian church, Seattle, and has con-
Quoted evangelist meetings all over
Washington and Oregon.

the improvement of the Missouri
river and its navigable tributaries
assembled in this city today in res
ponse to a call recently issued by

Missouri for the purposes of naviga-

waterway and its use in the trans

ties are among the matters to be dis
cussed during the two days session.
