COURT SERMONS.
Ten Minutes Was the Limit In King

Ten Minutes Was the Limit In King
Edwards Reign.
The recognized time for a preacher
to occupy the pulpit when preaching
before the late King Edward was ten
minutes. King George. however, has
never quite approved Of these very
short sermons. and it has been init
mated to the .chaplains in ordinary at
tached to the royal household, from
whom the preacher for the morning
service at Buckingham palace is usu-
ally selected, that their sermons may
be lengthier than they were customari-
ly in the late reign.
An intimation of this sort amounts
practically to a command, but it, is
doubtful If it will be very welcome to
some of the chaplains who were in the
late kings household. who have during
the past years rarely preached a SER
mon of more than ten minutes dura-
ton

WILL WED AT TOP OF
UNSCALED MOUNTAIN
Hermit Builds Iron Spike Ladder For
Use of His Bride.

The topmost point of Independence
Monument, In Colorado, will be the
scene of the wedding Of Miss Beatrice
Farnham, a Boston artist, and John
Otto, the hermit Of Monument canyon,
which is to be set aside as 'Monolithic
National Monument park" by Presi-
dent Taft.
Independence Monument is $50 feet
high and rises at the entrance to the
canyon. Nobody has climbed to the
top, although Mr.. Otto attempted last
summer to raise flag on the pinnacle.
For his marriage he has commenced
building ladder of iron spikes, which
are driven into the side of the Monu-
ment.
Both Miss Farnham and Mr.. Otto are
impatiently awaiting the completion of
the ladder, and their only fear is that
no minister can be procured to climb
with them to the top.
The novel morriage is the culmina-
ton of a unique romance. John Otto
has made his home in Monument can
yon for many years. Recently he in
terested Enos Mills. Colorado's great
naturalist, in the canyon, and Mr.. Mills
advised that President Taft be asked
to set it aside as national preserve
Miss Farnham visited the place last
summer to paint views of the canyon
She was guided around by Mr.. Otto,
and warm friendship sprang up be-
tween them. In lieu Of an engagement
ring Mr.. Otto presented TO his future
bride small pack burro which has
won fame as the homeliest animal In
that part ~ the state.

BY a peculiar coincidence the last

Beauties of the Game.
No game givs so much of the open
air, the elixir of life, from morning till
mite. With a modest bite at luncheon
mayhap 1t can be playd without un-
due fatigue, even by elderly people,
and then there's the few minutes rest
and the chat at the green with your
bosom crony. No delay impairs the
game Sit and moralize, drive off at
your plesure. it's all the same.
Another special feature of the grand
game is that, forgetting all other sub
upon it. This is what takes the cob
webs out of the brain. Hunger, thirst,
cold or heat, business cares, sublime
soarings-all take a back seat when
the critical moment arrives and all de-
pends>upon the last put.
