BENEATH BIG BEECH
Rural Dominic Ties NuptiaI Knots
Divorce Courts Do Not Sever.
Liberty Church Neighborhood Not
Only Marriage Center, but Its Peo-
pie Consider 1t a Youthful. Mis-
fortune to Die Under Seventy.

Gosport, Ind.-There has been dis
covered a remedy for the divorce evil.
1t is a simple but sure cure. Let the
Rev. Josiah Burton, a rural dominic,
living four miles east of Gosport, tie
the matrimonial knot beneath the
boughs of "Cupid's Beech" Then, if
his record holds, all divorce laws may
be eliminated from the statutes and
no one need go singing: I'm On My
Way to Reno" 1t is the Rev. Josiah
Burton's proud boast that no divorce
court has ever severed a tie he bound.
The Rev. Josiah Burton has three
affairs of matrimony-his little church
across the fields, his home and-most
romantic of ala grand old beech
tree that has been popularity chris
tened "Cupid's Beech because of the
marriage ceremonies performed be-
meath its boughs. The tree stands at
the corner Of the fence that surrounds
the old minister's home and no mar
riage ever solemnized in it's shade has
ever been shattered by a divorce
court.
The Rev. Josiah Burton is an inter-
esting man in an interesting locality.
Not only do his matrimonial knots
stay tied, but there seems to be some
good angel lowering over the hills in
which he dwells whose mission is to
grant happy old age to all who find a
home there. To die under so in the
vicinity of "Cupid's Beech is looked
upon as passing away in infancy.
In the early part of the last cen.
tury there moved into the hills of
Owen and Monroe counties many men
and women of a sturdy type from
Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and

various small kitchen gardens, carved and painted
by a poor man and his sister after their regular
working hours, and bought by Mr.: Muller at high
rates as his pet philanthropy. In this shop, now
100 years old, are seen all Of the most novel of
the toy-village playthings. The store was crowded
with n(ore children over thirty than under thir-
teen, and absorbed for hours over the clever and
quaint attractions.
The delI's house Of Nuremberg leaves nothing
to be desired. Not only the usual rooms of a con-
v%entonal menage are found in it, but conserva-
tories with miniature orchids, fountains and wa
tering cans; school rooms with tiny desks, a
schoolmaster, very stern, with goggles and ruler,
and children in aprons and carrying states, the
latter a sixteenth of an inch big; fields of flowers
for the back yard and a swing for the smallest
doll.
In all German art, of which toy making is by
no means an Insignificant department, perfection
of detail has always been the salient feature. Ev-
cry phase of home life is reproduced in micro
scopic form in German toyland, even down to the
wee pairs of hand-knitted stockings and sweaters,
the hob-nailed shoes and blue bouses which make
up the wardrobe Of the volks hoy and girl.
The tourist season is a second Christmas for
Nuremberg people, and they sell as many play
things in the one period as the other. An inter-
esting point brought to light by this fact is the
early differentiation of the American and Euro
pean Individuality, which shows itself in choice of
games and pastimes. They say in the shops that
an American child is Invariably fascinated over
LIZ mecldulCal anu COHplcaCed, that ne nndS IN
tense interest in mastering the technicalities even
of playing, while the European child likes a sim
pier but brilliantly colored toy, cherishing often a
curious sentiment for traditional objects such as
typify old world conservatism.
They are blessed with imagination, these vii
lage people, and they are not ashamed of show
ing their simplicity of spirit. Their souls are
bound up in the heritage of centuries. The trag-
edies of their city's history wind about the toys
they make, breathing into the wood a characteris-
tic vitality-the vitality that comes of centuries
of striving, of centuries of patient achievement.
AS you sit in a swirl Of red ribbon and foamy
paper, doing up" your Christmas presents, re.
member that many of them have come from this
quaint little Village of Always Christmas, It
may add to your holiday happiness to know that
no pleasure which tho toys may bring can be
greater than the pleasure Of those who made them.
and that no good Will OF yours can Guido the quiet
sincerity of purpose with which the simple peonle
Of Nuremberg have given their part toward this
season of the universal gift.

Josiah. In the year 1878 he settled
on a tract of ground four miles east
of Gosport in a section now known as
Liberty Church neighborhood. The
country was then sparsely settled and
there were only mere bride paths
leading to the few settlements.
By 1880 the country had become a
little more populous and there was
talk of establishing a church. There
were many denominations in the
neighborhood, and it was finally de-
cided to build a church that should be
non-denominational, but with lean
ings toward the Methodist Protestant
creed. John Burton gave enough
ground for the building of a church,
and another member of the new or.
ganization donated ground for a GENE.

ton as a church site. Each carried a
broadax. The men were divided into
two squads. They then went into the
forest in search Of yellow poplar
trees. The giants of the wilderness
began to fall and soon the brethren
were hewing the trees with that ex-
pert swing known only to the pio-
neers.
When dinner time came the church
builders sat down to a meal such az
only old-fashioned cooks could cook.
All of the food and the dishes were
carried to the place by a 1O-year-old
boy. That boy was Josiah Burton,
and the church was started on his
tenth birthday.
Liberty Church Is an interesting
type Of the old-fashioned meeting
house. 1t is a plain room with plain,
old-fashioned pews. The pulpit was
made by a local carpenter and the
choir and organ have a slightly ele
waited platform to the left of the min

anu SNOWY "hre caps"crumDly fountains and a
castle with a secret passage. All the elements of the
fascinating past and the strangely progressive
present within a stones throw of each other. The
realization of all that Nuremberg has been and
has undergone comes to one most wildly as one
stands looking down into the Schloss we'll $50
feet deep, where prisoners used to come to fetch
water. Underground their passage led from the
dungeons to this unlit circular pool, for state pris-
oners were never permitted to see the light, and
the hollow splash of the water which the attend
ant drops into the we'll seems to re-echo, after an
fnterminable half-minute, the hopeless pilgrim
age of those countless victims of medieval fanat-
icism. Such is the potency of the ended. While
the vitality of the occurring emphasizes itself, not
far Off, in one of the dozens Of toy factories,
whose very machinery whirs modernity, men,
women and children-that is, children over six
teen-are massed into this building, all intent on
the one idea, the creation of better and newer and
more wonderful toys for everyone's children, in
everyone's country.
1t is seldom the industrial planet can boast of
a broader ambition than this of the craftsmen of
Nuremberg. To bring the greatest possible amount
Of pleasure, legitimate and often educative pleas
ure, to growing, active minds is surely an aim
worthy Of the finest art in the world. 1t even
seems as though the thought back of the toys
should surround them with a deeper meaning as
gifts this C~hristmastide, since the added gift-the
biggest gift-lies in the patient interested inven-
ton and accomplishment of which they are the
exponent.
AS for the inventors, strictly speaking, their
reward seems infipitesimal according to our stand
ards. The BOSS controls ideas as well as mate
rails of output, and it is chiefly to his profit that
new inventions in toyland rebound. The man or
woman who first thinks of or improves upon some
plaything gets a very small per cent. of the in
come from it. To our new world standards Of
commerce it seems strange that the originator
should receive such scant recognition and that
without grumbling.
Very, very few Nuremberg toymakers have
ever grown rich over their righteousness. It is
true that ideas as well as toys in Germany sell
for double what they sold for eight years ago,
even! On the other hand the price Of living has
gone up appreciably, and what would have seemed
a large purchase price then is only moderate now.
The staff of artists employed by the Nurem-
berg factory boss Is in itself a not inconsiderable
expense, and many a quiet charity is undertaken
by these men who at home would be absorbed
in getting rich. In the shop of Fritz Muller are
