A CHURCH FOR SWEETHEARTS

novel plan is that of Rev. John Thompson, pastor of Methodist church in Wheaton, H., to induce young sweethearting couples to do their courting in the church pews, in stead of repairing to objectionable ice-cream parlors, etc. He will allow young people to stay late, with big room and piano in part of the church and 100 pews in which they can sit at their ease
 There is no better place In the world for young persons to do their courting in than a church," said the pastor. q believe in matchmaking that is, the right kind of matchma- king. I think that every church should make provision for upright young men and good young women to meet, and should arrange matters so that they could fall in love with each other.
 This talk about dinners at lobster palaces expensive seats at theaters and other places Is a mistake. A good girl. who really loves a man, does not want to see him make a fool of himself when he is courting her any more than she wants to see him do so after they are married"

MINER'S TRYING EXPERIENCE

To have been almost buried alive and forced to keep in one position for 20 hours on end was the trying experience of George Hill, miner, at Peak Hill, N. S w. Hill with two others. had to put in a shot. which caused a slide. He was carried along with the earth into an old working His mates got down and succeeded in removing seven feet of earth from his head, but they found 1t dangerous to continue, as the earth was liable to come in and smother them. They decided to put in drive at the back of the lS0 foot level. After IT hours of hard work they opened the wall at his head. It then took three hours to remove the debris away to get him out, the greatest care having to be exercised to prevent the loose stuff smothering him. A rope was attached to Hill. and at last he was pulled out amidst the hearty cheers of his fellow-miners.

leaning up against a dock, or appear Ing to do so, it attsacts instant at tention.
 A landsman walking along Atlantic avenue not long ago saw a steamer be- side fruit company's dock, whose deck was so sharply tilted that he held his breath.
 Surely. thought he, something was awry; the ship might at any mo- ment complete her acrobatic stunt and turn right over. The landsman waited to see the worst happen.
 He thought it strange, but nothing did happen. The ship remained Aoised gracefully on one toe, as it were. Then he learned that this was no unusual occurrence.
 He found that the ships Hist" was due to the unloading of cargo from one side, and that this was done pur- posely to facilitate the unloading.
 Waterfront people are accustomed to such a thing. but to the stranger there is wonder, and a suggestion of heavy seas, in the leaning ship.

There are variety of ways of work ing ones passage on shipboard. but the plan adopted by c. Pullman, of St. Louis. doubtless establishes a prece- dent. Mir Pullman. a young man of education. crossed the Atlantic in the first cabin with some $10,000 in cash to meet the expenses of short SO journ in Europe. He had neglected to secure his return passage His liv- ing expense in London and Paris proved higher than anticipated, and the Atlantic presented formidable barrier to his return home. MT.

By crossing in first cabin and returning in the scullery, MT. Pullman doubtless established new sea record of its kind.

FISH CAPER WHEN DRUNK

As drunk as fish" Is common expression, but not many people ever saw a fish drunk. However, those who attended a temperance demonstration by E. F. Sutherland of Columbus, Ind, were permitted to see intoxicat- ed fish. Sutherland placed fish in tank of water and added alcohol to the water. In a little while the fish began cutting capers that would have surprised any self-respecting mem Der of the finny tribe. By and by the alcohol became too strong for the fish, and they started to turn on their backs. Sutherland saved their lives by transferring them to fresh water They were soon sober, and apparent ly were unhurt.

pleale Preparing Statement

John A. Egan, personal attorney for
Rodney J. Diegle, now is familiar with
the important things which are to be
covered in the complete statement to
be made by the convicted senate SER
geant.at-arms. The subject was con-
sidered at length in a conference with
Prosecuting Attorney E. c. Turner.
Some of the things discussed were
mentioned by Diegle himself three
weeks ago when he promised a state
ment to Attorney General T. S. Hogan
and Prosecutor Turner.
Evidence concerning the other mat
ters has been in the hands of the
prosecution for weeks. 1t has been
gathered from many sources in every
corner of the state. This damaging
secret knowledge held by the states
attorneys will be one of the tests ap-
piled to the completed Diegle state
ment. BY that and the admissions
of Diegle, Hogan and Turner will de-
termine whether Diegle has told with
out reservation the truth concerning
corrupt transactions with which he
is familiar in the last assembly ses-
sion. Work of preparing the state
ment will begin in few days at some
quiet. place yet to be selected. Diegle
and Egan will work together. While
Diegle may yet have chance to avoid
serving his three-year sentence be-
hind the penitentiary walls, Prosecu-
tor Turner has served notice that
there will be no wholesale granting OF
immunity. He is working for whole
sale conviction and only such immu
nifty will be approved as is absolutely
necessary to secure the convictions
which will rid Ohio of corruption in
high public office.
