mouth a curious malformation. Stuart
in painting his famous portrait of
Washington sought to overcome this
appearance by placing cotton padding
under the lips. The great mans last
tooth disappeared in 1875. The next
year the distortion of his mouth was
removed by the substitution of "a new
set of teeth. In fact. there were two
new sets, so that the general had a
change. These were made of the ivory
from the teeth of the hippopotamus.

and one of Americas great pictures.
He declared that he thought it a great
shame that a man Of Mr. Bundy's abil-

TALK OF POLITICS
Conditions in This Country and
England Viewed by
Ministers.
NOTICE AN IMPROVEMENT

The political outlook in the Unit
ed States and England was the sub
ject discussed at this mornings meet
ing of the Ministerial association.
The Rev. S. r. Lyons, pastor of the
Reid Memorial church, considered the
situation from this country's stand
point, while the English viewpoint
was considered by the Rev. H. Robert
Smith of the Baptist church. Other
members joined in the discussion.
1t was generally agreed by the min.
listers that conditions in both coun.
tries were gradually drifting to Chris
tan socialism,. which is along the
ideas of the Golden Rule. 1t was also
agreed that men were coming to the
point where they held themselves
loosely to obligations of political par
ties, but were, instead, selecting men
who, to them, appeared to have the
best qualifications and stood for ideals
similar to their own.
At the meeting of the association
next Monday. the question of how tC
handle the man who leaves the jail
will be considered. The Rev. Huber
also made a report on his service al
the county infirmary yesterday after
noon and said that the institution and
the inmates had the appearance of be
ing as clean and well provided for as
under the administration of previous
superintendent.
