Dr. Samuel Buell. of the last half of the eighteenth century. N.ho used to preach two or three hours. like Isaac Barrows, was ingenious in detaining bis congregation. On one occasion. aft CT preaching nearly two hours-as long as he could feel secure in the presence of all his hearers-he remarked that he was done preaching to sinners and that they were at liberty to go; the rest of his discourse would be ad- dressed to good people.
 A gentleman who once went to hear him. stated that when the hourglass was nearly ready to be turned sec ond time from the commencement of his sermon he said. much to the relief of the person who related it, sOnce more.'' After going on some eight or ten minutes longer he said, ITO con- clude,'' and after another about equal interval he said. Lastly"
 The gentleman added that he expect ed every moment to hear him say "Ev- erIastingly.''

TAFT PLANS PANAMA
 CANAL COMPLICATIONS
Special from United Press)

Washington, Sept. 19.-President Taft is looking forward to one of the hardest legislative lights of Nis ad- ministration during the coming ses- sion of Congress at which he will seek to force through a bill providing for a $2, 100000 appropriation to start work upon the Panama Canal Qualifications. Aside from the question of the right of the United States to fortify the zone there is a difference of opinion as to the advisabf1ity of this move considered from the standpoint Of the United States alone. Congressman J. Warren Keiffer, who has been one of the foremost opponents of the for tification project in his speech dur ing the last Congress held that the move @.was inadvisable because even the qualifications wouldn't prevent destruction of the canal by two or three enemies of the United States skilled in the use of dynamite. He held that the other hand, where the canal government is strictly neu- tra1 this danger would be eliminated.
 Following Congressman Keiffer's S speech Congressman Champ Clark, who is picked for the Speakership in event of a split said:
 q believe every American citizen would agree to the proposition of the gentleman from Ohio if he could be convinced of it's feasibility and want to say that he is making good headway towards proving it's feasibility
