CAUSES CLASH WITH POPE
Rev. B. M. ripple, Head of Methodjsts m Rome, Figures in Fairbanks
 Incident

New York.-The man who was al. most directly responsible for the situ- alton in Rome, when the pope denied an audience to former vice-presi- dent of the United States, Charles w. Fairbanks, went to the Italian capital from New York. He is Rev. Bertrand Martin ripple, in charge of the Amer. ican Methodist Episcopal church in Rome
 pr. ripple is forceful man, the en- bodiment of tremendous energy. Be cause of his great patriotism, it is said. he rejoiced in the opportunity to welcome MT. Fairbanks, and, inas- much as MT. Fairbanks is a Method ist. Dr. Tipple expected the event would prove notable one in the his tory of the American church.
 Friends of the minister assert there was no thought during all the prelim. mary arrangements of an affront to the vatican. and that when the clash became apparent he offered to release the former vice-president from his en- gagement to address the Methodist congregation. MT. Fairbanks, how. ever, insisted on fulfilling his appoint ment. exercising care to avoid saying anything which might offend the Ro- man church. even praising the work of that organization in his address be. fore the Protestant body.
 Dr. ripple has been in Rome only four months. He was educated at the Cazenovia seminary in this state, at Syracuse university and at the Drew Theological seminary. He was a mem- Der of the New York East conference from 1887 to 1909. serving three churches in New Haven, Brooklyn and Stamford. Conn.
 As an example of his energy, he raised the money in two years, while stationed in Brooklyn. to burn a $40,.

would stick it out and have a tight race for Clorilla's s hand. Abraham told old Minch that he guessed he could stand small thing like pair of cold feet so long as he had had fair mo- tice, and he went to work immediately getting into training. Every night when he retired he took a 50-pound cake of ice and strapped it to the small of his back, hoping thus to grad ually become acclimated to the tenn perature that Clorilla's feet would be. At first the ice gave him shivers, but in a month or two he had become so used to the coldness of it that he did not feel it at all, and he began con- D, aiming that the Betzville Ice Com pany's ice was poor ice. At the end of the third month he sent up north for his ice, so as to get colder quail send further north for his ice. In a short time the small of his back be- came so used to cold ice that it suffer ed with the heat when it had no ice on it, and he had to go around all day with ice on his back. It melted and ran down into his shoes. and Abraham Wangle going along Main street sound ed like COW in a slushy lane.
 But Phillipus Googe went about 1t another way. On Clorilla's birthday he gave her a fireless cooker. Phil lipus hoped that if Clorilla cooked her feet in the fireless cooker every day she would gradually cook the cold out of them, for a fireless cooker needs no fire. but keeps on cooking anything that is put in it until 1t is taken out again. So every day Clorilla would cook up a bran mash and put in the cooker very hot, and put her feet in 1t. At first the mash had habit of turning into solid chunk of iced bran immediately npon coming in con- tact with her feet, and then her par ents would have to chip of the icy mass with an ice pick. but gradually her feet began to warm up. and they grew warmer and warmer as the weeks went by. until Clorilla could not get the bran mash hot enough to feel comfortable. Even when 1t was hetl inc hot Clorilla complained that il

BETZVIIIE TALES
CloriUa Minch and Her Loueys.
Ellis parher Bu7eEI EkD Author of Pigs IS Pigs Etc. S&2 ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

Clorilla Minch was a most attractive girl in many ways, and quite a belle Of Betzville, and she would have been sense enough to keep still about Clo- rilla's feet, but as soon as Clorilla would get lover well primed for the marriage ceremony old Minch would take him aside and explain about the Doosenbury feet. He said he had suf feet, and he wasn't going to have an other human man step up against those feet unwarned. Clorillas mother had been Doosenbury, and Clorilla inherited the feet along that line.
 Old Minch would say: Now, for forty year I have had Maria's feet against the small of my back every night, and every night her feet were like ice, and if hadn't been a martyr by nature, and meek and mild, never would I have stood it. And look at me now. My back bone is froze solid and cant bend in the middle. Doc Weaver says it's no use trying to thaw it out for Maria freezes it up again every night. And Clorilla has her mas feet, only colder" Then he would call attention to Clorilla's feet, which were actually so cold that frost gathered on the outside of her shoes in the hottest August weather. In cool weather they were ten times cold CT. Generally this frightened the lover away, but not always
 Abraham Wangle was one it didn't frighten away, and Phillipus Googe was another, and it looked as if they

felt chilly to her feet, and her feet became so permanently warm that when she put on her shoes they scorched the leather, and she had to have special shoes made, lined with asbestos
 By that time the very thought of cold against her feet made her trem- ble with fear, and she told Abraham Wangle that she could never marry man with an icy back, and poor Alp raham had to start in again, training his back to like heat. He gradually reduced the quantity and coldness of his ice pack, and then began wearing small oil stove on the small of his back, and in few months he could lie right down with his back on hot stove and never know it. It was just then that PhilIipus Googe forever de- prived himself of all hopes of Gorilla by sending her much larger fireless heater. Gorilla said this was an in. suit, and that she would never use fireless cooker again, and to show her hatred of Phillipus she discontinued useing the cooker and began restings her feet for hours at time on a cake, of ice. So Abraham Wangle had to start in once more icing his back.
 Abraham iced his back and iced it., and then he began to be frightened, for it would not grow cold. It re- mained hot. He went to see Doc Weaver about it, and Doc told him y,1o i,lx hot cl, hot to cold and back to hot again had taken the temper out of the small Of his back, and had rendered it imper vous to influences of temperature, and that it was like fireless cooker now, and would remain hot as long as it remained at all. So Abraham spoke to Clorilla, and she did what was right and began to heat up her feet again. But when she tried it she found that her feet were like the small of Abraham's back and had lost their temper and would never become warm again. They were like a sealed cold storage vault and would remain cold as long as they were feet. At present looks as if Clorilla and Abraham were to be forever separated, and Uncle Ashdod Cloots says it is. one of the most striking warnings against flirt- ing he has ever seen, for if Gorilla had not tried to draw Phillfpus on she would, by this time, have had a good husband with an ice cold back to place her ice cold feet against. But old Minch scoffs at this. He says that from what he knows of Doosenbury feet no one with feet of that kind would ever marry a man she could not annoy with them. The majority of the Betzville voters agree with him. Copyright 1909. by w. G. Chapman)
