ever, he proceeded to electrify the
congregation by taking several
handfuls Of rags out of a piece bag
which he carried with him and de-
libcrately stuning them into the
broken panes Of the unsightly win

Then he proceeded calmly with
the service, but when he began his
sermon it soon became evident thai
the pulpit cushion was by no means
to be spared at his hands. In some
way or other the largest hole in the
cushion was worked round until it
was well to the front, and after

WaKED THE CONGREGATION.
Parson Adams Methods Were Vigor-
Gus and Productive.

Many stories arc told Of the way
in which certain Parson Adams Of
Lunenburg, well known in the first
half Of the hast century, attended
to matters which he decided were
in need Of summary treatment. On
one or two occasions at least his
action was not limited to his own
parish. One amusing instance Of
this sort occurred one Sunday when
he exchanged pulpits with a friend
who presided over well to do but
somewhat careless congregation in
a ncighboring town.
This friend, who was one OF the
mcekest and most long suffering
men Imaginable, told Parson Adams
with much modification that there
were one or two things about the
church which sadly needed atten-
ton, but that, although he knew
his parishioners meant well, these
matters seemed to slip their minds
from week to week.
"The window behind the pulpit
is sadly in want Of repair,' the gen
lie minister explained, "and 50 is
the pulpit cushion. in which there
IS large hole. / mention these
matters so that You may be saved

he GOT THE CROSS.
Napoleon and the Battle Scared Hero
at Ratisbon.

The oratorical rcpertory Of every
schoolboy probably includes Brown
ing's poem beginning "You know,
we French stormed Ratisbon."
The reader Of memoirs, however,
particularly those Of General Mar
bot, realizes that Ratisbon, battle
ground though it was, had its hu
morous aspect and was not all trag-
edy. Marriott says:
It was first at Ratisbon that the
emperor endowed the common sol
dierv, making them at once cheva-
hers of the empire and members
OF the Legion Of Honor. The pres
entations Of candidates were made
by the heads Of divisions, but the
emperor allowed those soldiers who
believed that they merited this
honor to come before him, and he
alone judged and decided their
worth.
Once it happened that an old
grenader who had campaigned in
italy and Egypt, not having been
mentioned, came himself to demand
in the most phlegmatic tones the
cross.
"But," said Napoleon, ''what
have you done to deserve this re-
ward"
"Well, it was /, sire, who in the
desert of Jatfa, in an appalling
heat, gave you a Watermelon" an
swered the soldier.
81 thank you again." said the en-
peror, "but the gift Of this fruit
isn't worth the cross Of the Legion
of Honor"
Then the grenadier, hitherto
calm and self possessed, was beside
himself and cried with the greatest
volubility:
"Then you count as nothing the
seven wounds that | received at
Arcola, at Lodi, at Castiglione, at
the Pyramids, at st. Jean d'Acre,
at Austerlitz, at Friedland-my
eleven campaigns in Italy, in
Egypt, in Austria, in Prussia, in
Poland, IN
But the emperor, laughingly in
terrupting his torrent Of words,
cried:
'Now you're getting at it. You
should have begun by telling this
at first. These campaigns are
worth more than melon. | create
you chevalier of the empire, with
an annuity of 1900 francs. Are
you satisfied ?"
"But, sire, l prefer the crossH'
cried the grenadier.
"And you have it since I have
made you chevalier," was the reply
''But | would rather have the
cross" And the simple minded
soldier refused to bulge. It took
all sorts Of persuasions to set his
mind at rest and make him under
stand that his title Of chevalier bore
with it the honor Of the cross. He
was satisfied only when the emperor
himself had pinned the decoration
on his breast, and he seemed in
finitely more satisfied with that
than with the gift of 1900 francs.

SENATOR cUMMINs VIGOROUSLY
ASSAILS PAYNE-AIDRiCH
MEASURE
STIRS UP LIVELY ROW
Prominent Senators Participate in
Debate on Question of Changing
Rules So That the Tariff
May be Amended.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Contending
thai the present tariff imposes excess
sive duties and that the country at
large demands it's amendment, Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa today delivered
a speech in the senate in advocacy of
his resolution limiting the power of
the amendment of bills dealing with
separate schedules of the law.
The speech was the first attack Of
the session on the Payne-Aldrich law
and it received careful attention. The
Iowa senator d~isavowed any intention
or opening up a general tariff discus
sion. Still he found it difficult to avoid
a general expression on tariff uues-
lions.
1T is we'll known" he said, that I
consider excessive and i@nexcusable
many of the duties levied by the law
of 1909. | know also that many people
believe that law should be amended.
During the recent political struggle
| did not hear a single utterance by
a republican that did not admit that
the law contains duties that ought to
be changed and that it is the duty of
congress to act speedily
Declaring then that under the cx-
listing parliamentary usage in the
house n senate changing the tariff
law is out of the question. He con-
tended that the first step to be taken
was the modification of the rules 50
as to render it possible to amend an
individual prOvis ion of the tariff law
without taking the entire tariff cues
ton.
"The real ISSUE" he said, sis whether
we shall so amend our rules as to per-
mt the amendment OF the law sched-
ule by schedule"
had not proceeded far UNI
til he was compelled to submit to in
~terruptions. Senators Aldrich. Hale.

ney for the twelve saloon men. nor

for he purpose of restraining the gov
rnmen from preventing the shipment
Of liquors into this city to replenish
the supply of dealers. which is fast
being depleted.

the relative rights of the department

ings.
