Wednesday morning OF this week,
Old Ben, the faithful family horse of
the Bcerbohms, took party of
happy youngsters out to the head
gates, picnicing-Mrs. Arthur Mays
and Mrs. Beerbohm accompanying as
chaperones. All OF the delights of
picnicers was the portion OF this
merry party-even to the privileges OF
being sunburned and well punctured
by welcoming mosquitoes. A sight
that was new and impressive was the
steady rising of the river In the
hours that the party kept an eye on
its maneuvers the Arkansas river
came up some three feet. testifying
its knowledge OF the recent hard
rains.

William RUFUS King, born April O.,
17s6, died April Is, 1865. was q vice
president OF the United States who
never served in that capacity and n
who took the oath OF effice on foreign
soil, something which can be said Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people of this
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce In 1862.
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba sorne two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed a special act
authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas, Cuba, to swear him In
as vice president at about the hour
when Pierce was taking the oath OF
Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out TO
a dot, and on the day appointed, at a
plantation on one of the highest hills
in the vicinity of MatanZas, Mfr. King
was made vice president OF the United
States amid the solemn ''Vaya vol con
Dies' God will be with YOU OF the
creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at Cahaw-
ba, Ala, arriving at that place April
II. 1853, and died the folio wing day.

Wsddina Feea In New York.

Large wedding fees are rare even In
New York. Fees OF $50 ana 500 are
considered large. The $1,000 fee when
1t makes its appearance usually goes
to the rector of a wealthy congrega-
ton who enjoys a salary Of $4,000 or
$4,000 a year. Larger fees are some
times given. The man OF wealth, ac-
tuated by a high regard for his pastor
and friend, occasionally gives his
check for $4,000 or $4,000 under the
gufse of a wedding fee. He wishes to
help the minister and knows the money
would not be accepted under any other
circumstances. Such gifts, it Is need
less to say, are extremely rare. New
York has a few clergymen whose mar
rage fees average 1920 a year. The
pastor OF a large Presbyterian church
on Broadway has estimated that his
fees amount annually to $1,000. These
are topRoteh hgures.-Christian Her
