BIBLES BIRTHDAY.
Lighter Side of the Three Hundredth
Anniversary.

Prom LONDON Sketch.
Next year is the tercentenary of the
frst publication of that version of the
Bible which Is most familiar to all the
English-speaking world-the authorized
version. prepared and published in 1911
hy command OF King James /.
The occasion is to be commemorated
IN a manner BETTING such a notable
anniversary. and several leading Bible
societies are now laying plans to that
end. II Ia probable that the celebrations
will include special sertice In St.
Paul's Cathedral, with sermon by an
eminent preacher of the day, anniversary
meetings and a great exhibition of the
Bible in some of the hundreds of editions
distributed annually in almost all the
known Languages of the globe
An interesting feature of such an eX-
aibition would be a collection of the
,ariols versions beside the authorized -
and the curiosity Bibles to which print
crs' errors have given rise. Copies of
these are somewhat rare and are treas
Gred accordingly. There is, for instance,
The famous Breeches Bible. OF which ev-
cry one has heard. In II Adam and Eve

Muscles and the Will.

DIR. Richard Cole Newton in the Forum
have frequently noticed that my own
endurance on any particular occasion is
largely determined by my mental atti-
tude. If ! say to myself as | start out
to take a bicycle ride that | will ride a
distance of twelve or fourteen miles
accomplish the feat and feel just about
as tired do when / have selected and
ridden a. journey twice or thrice as long
The crucial thing is making up the mind
to go Il certain distance. In other words
my bodily energy is developed and eX-
perded in obedience to my will. and my
body. having done what 1t was told to do,
be the journey long or short, protests
against further exertion after the task
is fulfilled. Mr.. Roosevelts wonderful
energy was, originally at least unques-
tionably far more q mental than a phys
ical attribute. although, of course, the
iron will besots the iron muscles.

Proof Positive.

From London NJ. A. r.
King Victor Emmanuel Of Italy is fond
of telling this story Of a valet whom he
had finally to get rid of because of his
suspected, though improved, dishonesty:
Giuseppe was good body servant"

caught him stealing, / have many rea-
sons for believing him Enthusiastically.
He was one of my household, and 1 con-
fess to a fondness for the fellow. in whose
veins there is really more than a trace
of royal blood.
II said to him one morning. Giuseppe.
you are growing careless.
Oh. your majesty, I hope not he
replied.
But you are, l persisted. You some
times forget to brush my coats
oh, sire, 1 assure YOU he started to
explain
But I cut him short with: There, that
is enough, Giuseppe. I left six forms in
a waistcoat pocket yesterday and-they
are still there The poor fellow nearly
tainted, but whether from terror of dis
missal or chagrin at having overlooked
the money 4 couldn't quite make out. Any
how, the six forms were a myth" con-
cludes the king with a royal wink

Grammar as a Lure.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Some time ago an educator eXpatiated
unon the poetry OF mathematics and
strove to show that heXameters lay hid
in heXagons, carols in calculus, ballads
in binomical theorems and rhythm in
everything. He made out plausible case,
and no doubt added new pleasure to
school life. Now comes another PROBES
sor, from the learned University OF Co
penhagen, with a theory OF the charm
and romance of grammar. He does not
admit that ii is a study. He places It
with the sports of the play ground. He adj
rnits that il is profitable activity for
youths. but calls 1t rather too fascinating
and useless to be classed as a study. But
as the children adore it the teachers must
put up with it as necessary evil.
This is adroitness which overdoes itself.
BY suggesting its fascinating uselessness
the professor hopes TO populariZe gram
mar. We can imagine students interested

Duty of Census Officials.

1T is the duty of the supervisor and
special agents, before adding such names
to the list, to carefully examine to see
if they have already been enumerated
In general. such examination appears to
have been properly performed by the Of
ficials of the census in Minneapolis but,
presumably by oversight, considerable
number of Implications were left in the
schedules
While the overcounting in Minneapolis
was thus confined primarily to two dis
tricts, the director feels that II is proper
publicly TO censure the work in these
districts, because, il the same practice
were pursued by all enumerators having
lodging houses and hotels in their dis
tricts-as has been the case in some other
cities-the amount of padding would be
very extensive

Members of Crew Indicted.

Friends of the wounded man thought
he should bring suit for the suffering that
had been caused him, as we'll as the loss
of time. During the past week Mr.. Juene-
mann and Mr.. Morrill, went to Montross,
tire county seat of Westmoreland county,
Va. and consulted Commonwealth At
torney c. Conway Baker.
Court was In session and witnesses
were taken before the grand jury Indict-
ments We're returned against three mem
bers of the crew of the James River, al
leging that they had done the shooting
without justification. State officials had
been in communication with the common
wealth's attorney and had arranged to
have the indicted men in court to fur
niSh security.
Officials of the state fisheries commits
sion have conferred with friends of the
wounded man about the shooting and
have discussed the question of damages
They seemed disposed to see that the
victim of the shooting is fairly dealt with
by the state, and it Is probable that the
indicted members of the crew will be call
ed upon in court in the near future to
plead to the indictments.

Regulating Meat Barons.

Henry VIII would have known how
TO deal with the French butchers who
are said To be combining to keep up
the price of meat. In 1885,. according
to Stowe. he issued an ordinance that
butchers should sell their beefe and
mutton by weight, beefe for a half
penny the pound. and mutton for three
farthtngs. At this time also and not
before. there were lorraine butchers
permitted To sell their flesh in Leaden-

The day MI. Raab was shot he was in
an open boat with three friends Harry

PisOtt. They were in the vicinity of Co
lonial Beach on a pleasure trip and had
hoped they would make a good catch of
fish before they returned, but the ap-
peararce in the waters off Colonial Beach
off the James River. one of the boats in
charge of the state fisheries commission,
and the subsequent shooting by members
of its crew put a sad end to the outing.
First-aid treatment was given by a
physician at Colonial Beach and Mr.
Raab was hurried to this city. his friends
bringing him here by way of the Pope
Creek Railroad. Pope creek being reached
by a small steamer from Colonial Beach.
Friends of the wounded man realized the
seriousness of his condition, but after he
had been in the hospital a few days his
physicians held out hope for his ultimate
recovery.
Others in the hospital recalled the NUM-
Der of cases in which similar wounds had
been inflicted, and which had terminated
fatally. and they We're not satisfied that
Mr.. Raab would get Well They were

Instructions Were Clear.

THE instructions to the enumerators
and to the supervisors made it quite clear
that such repetition of visits was i'm
proper. | note that it has been suggested
that the fault lies with the methods Of
the census bureau itself in not arranging
for the enumeration of lodging houses
and hotels on a single day. AS matter
of fact, the instructions of the census
bureau 10 the supervisors were specitical-
~ that so far as possible, they should
arrange for the enumeration OF lodging
houses and hotels on single day, but
it was at the time thought not wise to
make these instructions absolutely bind
ing in every case.
In addition to the names eliminated
from the schedules because. of repetition
OF visits in the districts of: these two
enumerators there were a considerable
number of names eliminated because a
critical examination In the census bureau
showed them to be direct Implications. AS
in all cities. considerable number Of
names We're added after the original cam
vass of the city had been completed. as
the result of investigations by special
agents under the direction OF the super
visor, as the result Of names sent in
by persons claiming not to have been
enumerated.

Given Benefit of Doubt.

Then euumerators for these two dis
tricts may not have deliberately intended
to defraud. but it scarcely seems possible
that they should have failed to note that
they We're. to say the least, interpreter g
the instructions very loosely. The over
counting in these two districts resulted
almost altogether from the repe-
tition of visits to lodging houses and
hotels Not content with enumera ting
all the people who were present In such
lodging houses and hotels on the census
day or on the day of the first visit of
the enumeration, these enumerators
counted very large numbers of people
who Were not present at the first visit
or on the census day, but who came to
these lodging houses subsequently.
1T is evident that this practice, in the
first place. permits the duplication of
names within the city itself, by reason of
the fact that many persons go from one
lodging house to another. and. in the
second Place, results in the enumeration
of people who came to the city after the
census day and who We're presumably
enumerated elsewhere.

TWO ARMENIANS
 HELD FOR FRAUD.

Atlanta, Ga, December 2S.-Documents indicating that in the name of alleged Christian contributions church-goers have been defrauded throughout the south, were found yesterday on two, pretended Armenians. under arrest here. who gave the names of Deacon Michael Joseph and Archdeacon Johan Bejan According to the papers on the men a large number of donors each contributed small amounts in cash. Their papers indicated that they had also been in England, Germany, France and Bulgaria.
 Joseph made plea for mercy, in which he said:
 T have sinned. You must all have pity. I am poor man and I was tempt ed to beg. My country Is mounta inous and the corn for a whole family is like that and Joseph indicated two hand fuls.
 The men were arrested in Macon on warrants sworn out by Joseph c. Logan. secretary of the Associated Charities of Atlanta, but the police have not yet iden- tified them as members of the Armenian party who made collections in Atlanta for Armenian missions, which are alleged to have had no existence. AS the pair con- fessed to making collections under guise of Armenian missionary contributions, and using the money themselves, the police are holding them. pending identification.
