The Beauties

The family name of Beattie, of

in charge of the Palisade Union
Church, is a prominent member, is
we'll known III New oYrk State At

Goshen county, where most of them
came from, there were no less than
six Of the Beauties occupying promi-

court. While Rev. Lee w Beattie
was in charge of a Presbyterian
church at Orange, Goshen county, his
cousin, DR. Charles Beattie, was

1911 at Union Theological Seminary,
Schenectady, from which college he
graduated nearly thirty years ago.
DR.. Beattie tells an interesting story
of how he has, on more than one oc-
casion, been the recipient of PROPOSE
tons for a degree of D. D. from fake
institutions. Several years ago at
Nashville, Tenn, there was an insti
tution-fraudulent of course-which
wrote him that for 500 it would send
him blazing D. D. sheepskin entirely
fit and worthy of hanging in his
library. Dr. Beattie replied that he
wasn't looking for that honor, but
limited that the price was entirely too
cheap. The takers, nothing daunted,
came back and proposed to let him
have the degree at $50, and Dr. Beat
tie again replied that he couldn't
think of it, and once more suggested
that the price was beyond him on &C
count of the price being too cheap.
The incident was closed by the Ten
nessee institution writing back that if
he were really hard up he could have
the thing for $25.

loped on to the junction. There be

rank and was classed with Yale or
Harvard in the high standards it car
ried and the position it held. The
war, however, almost broke it up, as
the majority of its students were from
the South. 1t has taken it long time
to recover from that blow, but it is
to-day regarded as one of the highest
class colleges in the land.
There were thirteen ministers in the
Beattie family, and for twenty years
there was big nest of them in
Orange county. They were all men
who loved the work for what it rep
resented, and DR.. Lee W. Beattie is
typical member of the group. He is
never better satisfied than when do
ing something for another, and al
though his earnings in the ministry
have been good, he is not we'll off in
worldly possessions because Of his
liberality. Some of his close friends
have said that he would give away
his head if it would do anyone any
good, and the Doctor simply laughs
when told of this story, and says his
head wouldn't go very far on an
others shoulders.

The Boy and the Beattie's.

A very good story is told on the
Beauties by a Goshen county man.
With thirteen Beattie ministers in one
county, it was not to be wondered at
that they were considered in a class
by themselves so far as conduct goes.
Upon one occasion, so the story
runs, Goshen mother was reprimand-
ing her little son for bit of naughty
behavior. Taking the little fellow
into her lap, She cuddled him up and
told him he must not be wicked any
more; that God did not love wicked
little boys.
Now, go and say your prayers, and
ask God to make you better boy"
the fond mother added as She let the
youngster off her lap. The little fell
low went to the side of the bed and
prayed:
Lord, make me a good boy, but
not quite so good as the Beatties"
The boy, upon being questioned as
to why he prayed as he did, limited
that there wouldn't be any fun at all
if everybody was as good as the Beat
ties

this morning, is said by brother engineers
to have been one of the most experienced
on the system and also one of the most
careful. 1t is stated that while the Fed

he had run 1t many times before. The
engineer who ordinarily would have
brought the Federal Express through to-
day was l.. L. Fowler of West Haven.
but as he had been doing considerable
extra work, owing to the heavy traffic,
he laid off this run to get rest
The New Haven road had earlier issued
an official statement to the effect that
Curtis was not a freight engineer and
that this was not his first run with the
express Curtis has been running trains
over the Shore Line from New York. and
according TO railroad men was perfectly
familiar with the track.
