Changing Taste In HYMNS.

One of our churches In New York
city having taken a poTl of the con-
gregation in order to determine the
ten favorite hymns announces that
the following received the requisite
number OF ballots: Nearer, My God,
to Thee" abide With Me-" Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" Il Love to Tell
the Story" Lead Kindly Light" RES
cue the Perishing," Rock of Ages"
Onward Christian Soldiers" What
a Friend We Have in Jesus" Four
others were tied for tenth place:
Love Divine, All Love Excelling,"
Just as l am" Faith of Our Fathers.
Living STILL" and 'In the Cross of
Christ I Glory"
Nothing could illustrate better the
change that has come over our re-
iigious thinking. IN the list there Is
not one hymn about heaven. Ten
years ago no congregation would have
omitted Jerusalem the Golden" or
There Is a Land of Pure Delight"
and twenty-five years ago half the list
would have been given to such hymns.

Butcher Bird and Martin.

An incident which my son witnessed
near Enfield may be worth recording:
He was walking along the highway
and noticed at some distance ahead
several birds on the road, which he
took to be sparrows. AS he drew
nearer he was able to distinguish a
couple of house martins. by the side of
a small puddle near the others.
Presently one of the supposed spar
rows in a sidelong manner drew to-
ward the house martins, and when
near it suddenly darted and seized one
Of them by the head and held 1t strug-
Cling until he got quite near. He then
saw it was redbacked shrike. and to
his establishment it actually few away
with its victim over the hedge by the
roadside, showing strength one

CHANGE IN CHURCH SERVICE
Pastor Of the Present Asks the Con-
greaation "shalI We Sing
Hymn 478rF

Last Sunday evening and the Sun
day evening before that and the Sun
day evening before that | went to
church." said the gray-headed man.
81 went to a different church each
time. 1 noticed that the years l have
stayed away from church have wrought
many changes In the service, but the
change that impressed me most was
the manner of announcing the hymns.
Formerly the minister said, Let US
sing or We will now sing Hymn 478.'
Now he puts 1t In the form OF an in
terrogation and says, Shall we sing
Hymn 478?'
AT any rate, that Is the way the
hymns were announced where I went
TO church those last three Sundays. 1
wonder IL the fashion is universal now,
also wonder what the minister would
say II some temerarious soul should
speak up: No. We win not sing that
hymn. / don't like 1t. Let us sing
No. $780,
"Of course II Is hardly conceivable
that anybody ever could develop so
much rambunctiousness, but It is In
teresting to speculate ON what would
happen if somebody should"

DOG THAT GOES TO CHURCH
Maine Animal Attends Sunday serv-
ices Regularly, Sitting in the
Shadow Of the Pulpit.

And here is a dog story which
comes from the Journals Skowhegan
correspondent. The story is of a fine
young shepherd dog which has strong
religious tendencies. He is the dog
Of Elmer Decker of Hinckley. Shep
is persistent in his attempts to attend
Sunday services.
A late scheme of his is to get up
very early Sunday morning and call
upon a neighbor who takes him to
church in his carriage. On arriving
Shep makes a practice of walking
straight up the aisle to the platform,
where he takes his place In the
shadow Of the pulpit There, with
his nose protruding by the corner. he
can see what is going on at the same
time he is listening.
The other day during the minister's
long prayer an automobile came chug-
ging and footing along. much to the
disturbance Of Shops idea of the
nicely of things. He rushed through
the open door with loud barking and
scared the intruder away, but his
manner of quieting the disturbance
had a reviving effect upon the audi
ence and our correspondent thinks
the prayer must have been shortened.

MISTAKE OF BUSY SENATOR
Rubber Stamped Form Letter to In
huentlal Constituent Brings
Forth a Reply IN Kind.

A prominent middle western SEN
ator fell into a practice common in
Washington Of allowing e secretary to
sign the formers name to much of
his correspondence with a rubber
stamp He was warned against the
custom, but laughlngly remarked that
the farmers out there wouldn't know
the difference. Likewise the senator.
as many have. have a stereotyped re-
ply TO communications. Il so hap
pened that one of these form stamped
letters was sent to a substantial and
Influential constituent. Nothing was
known of the break until a few
months later, when the senator, en-
deavoring to rebuild his fences, wrote
a letter to the constituent inauiring
of political conditions in the home
state. A prompt reply was received
at the capitol. addressed to the SEN
ator, and In the exact form which he
had written to the constituent. It
read:
Dear Sir: Your valuable communi-
cation OF the 9Th inst. duly received.
II gives US much pleasure to consider
the suggestions contained therein"
The letter was signed with a rubber
stamp, not once, but several times,
In each instance upside down. For II
seems the secretary had hastily
stamped the original outgoing letter
downside up-Leslie's Weekly.

poos erInq Hiqh Prices.

II is not only in England and Amer
lea that fantastic prices are paid for
dogs, but in Germany fanciers viii pay
high prices. At the recent exhibition
Of dogs at Cassel Frenchman offered
1900 marks. about $500. for a po-
lice dog. The dog rejoices In the name
OF Tell, and the sum offered might be
considered as conclusive evidence
that Tell is worthy Of his famous
name, but this is not all. The dog be-
longs to Sergeant Decker. who re-
fused the tempting offer. observing
that his dog should not quit Germany
q any price.

ODD ENGLISH SNAKE STORY
When Cow Was Bitten by Reptile,
Form Of Latter Appeared on
the Cream.

The west country Of England IL no.
toriously a land Of strange beliefs and
superstitions. In the first week of the
present month COW belonging to
Mrs. Heale Of Goldburn, Okehampton,
which was quite we'll at the mornings
milking, was found In the evening to
be suffering from an enormous swell
ing of the udder. It was concluded at
once that the animal had been bitten
by something, most probably by a
viper.
The COW was MIXED and the milk
was about to be flung away when the
servant girl interposed, and speaking
from previous experience said: Let
It stand, because II the COW has been
bitten by a snake II will show up In
the milk" The milk was accordingly
set aside, and on looking at IL some
three hours afterward the form Of a
snake was distinctly seen in the
cream which had collected on the sur
face.
There was an exact model of the
reptile, the head, with the v mark,
the eyes and the tongue projecting
from the mouth-perfect throughout
to the tail. Moreover. by aid of a
magnifying glass the scales of the
skin could be distinctly seen. All this
was seen by Mrs. Heale, her two
grown-up daughters, the servant girl
and the boy groom.
On the following morning the figure
was less distinct A moth had got
into the cream and destroyed the con-
tinuity of the tail. Still the figure
was traceable, and the attention of
the veterinary surgeon was called to
1t. He admitted that the form of
snake was undoubtedly there. His
treatment of the animal from the first
was for snake bite.

Shooting Accident.

Charlie Wood and A. G. Mar
quez were brought down from
Abbott on Monday, suffering
from gunshot wounds. They
were engaged in filing a sight off
a rifle, and in some unexplainable
manner the gun was discharged.
The ball passed through the
index finger of Mr.. Woods right
hand and lodged in the pelvic
bone Of Marquee. DR.. Gibbs at
tended the patients, and it was
necessary to send Marquee to
Dawson, as it was impossible to
locate the ball without an X-ray
exposure.

THE JUSTICE COURT

The pending case of the Terri
tory of New Mexico versus Jno.
II. Samblin, was heard before
our local justice on the 18th.
The plaintiff in the above en-
titled case was Thos. McGrath,
based upon an action of SANDER.
Case was postponed from the 1St
day of April, account of some
witnesses being on the kidnap-
pers' trail. An narray of witnesses
sufficient to cast reflection upon
some great murder case were
summoned on both sides. Alex.
s. Bushkevitz represented the
plaintiff, while Judge Hutson
looked after the defendant. After
hearing the evidence, Judge Fos-
ter dismissed the case. The de-
cision appeared to be popular.

H. B. Ferguson, j. d. Hand and
A. A. Jones protes Jed against
the approval of the New Mexico
constitution, hoping that their
attacks will prevent New Mexico

for postponement until next
Tuesday for the arrival of others
of the Democratic committee and
also the arrival of Progressive
Republicans, including H. j. Ha-
german, r. H. Hanna, B. Viljeen
and Levi A. Hughes. W. H An
drews, A. B. Fall, George Curry
and F. w. Clancy protested
against the delay to next Tues
day. They said that they are
ready to refute any statements
made, as they had done in the
convention and before the people,
being sustained by $4,000 major
ity. The committee refused to
postpone action any longer than
ia next Friday, when vote will
be taken.

THE EASTER DANCE

The dance given on Monday for
the benefit of the Catholic church
of Roy, was in every way a
success. Much credit is due
Mrs. F. A. Roy and Mrs. w. H.
Wilcox, those ladies' having
charge of the arrangements.
Promptly at 8 p. m. everybody
fell in for the Grand March, led
by Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. Alldredge.
Dancing continued until the early
hours of morning. +. S. Brown
oficiated IN a very capable man
ner as floor manager. A fine
lunch in connection helped mat
ters along. A certain lady sup
posed to have brought a cake,
was accused of having shirked
her duty, as cake could not be
found. The cake showed up
next morning at the ice cream
parlor of Mrs. Church.
The receipts were $6l.00 and
expenses $19.35, leaving SAL IS
for the benefit of the church.
This amount will considerably
lessen the old Indebtedness, and
one more effort such as this will
wipe out the old score.

District court for the county of
Mora and the Fourth Judicial
district is due to convene on
Monday next. 1t has been one
year since this county has had
any court. For the last several
years it has been customary for
this county to have but one term
of court, instead of two terms for
the great majority of the balance
of the counties of the Territory.
Whether the cause of omitting
one term is due to the lack of
crime or the lack of funds, we do
not know. Anyhow cases are on
the docket for crimes committed
ten years ago. Several have been
subpoenaed from this end of the
county. Judge j. G. Roberts
will preside, this being his first
term in Mora county.
