The new preacher in our town was
progressive enough to enliven even
that humdrum performance Of reading
the notices Of the day." said the su.
burbantte. After mumbling over the
services for the coming week, the
dates Of two approaching marriages
and the purpose Of the days collec-
ton, he said IN perfectly distinct
tones:
81 am glad to announce that Mrs.
Hollis was able to sit up a while last
evening. that very favorable report
was telephoned in this morning from
the sick room Of Mr. Grant, and that
the temperature of Mr.. Williams has
been reduced to 9S.'
Then he preached a sermon, but
nobody knew what about, for all the
congregation vas revolving in their
minds the physical condition Of our
sick parishioners. Many, like myself,
went away believing that the minis
ters innovation would be of inestima-
BILE value to sick folk, who are pes.
tered to death by people inquiring
how they are; of inestimable value,
that is, unless TOO many of the con-
gregation shall share the skepticism
Of the woman who walked down the
aisle ahead Of me. Said she:
81 don't believe that Sarah Hollis
was able to sit up last night. was
there at noon and she couldn't lift
finger then. I'm going right up to see
about it."

Mayor Grace was on the stand for
more than an hour and expressed a
Willingness to give all testimony pos
sible To clear up the situation. He
said that he had nothing to conceal.
and that he was anxious for every
thing to come out. He told the COM
mittee how he had worked for the
election of Blease and of his own
success In the city Of Charleston.
The witness declared that he met
| a friend at Branchville while on his
way to Charleston just before the
election in 1910. He said this friend
suggested that he support Cole. L..
| Blease for governor. and told him
what Blease represented. He in
formed the friend that he would de-
eide upon his course within week.
Here Mayor Grace gave his views
on the various candidates in the race
for governor at that time, and said
that he could not have supported Mr..
Featherstone. He declared that be-
fore he decided 70 support Blease he
wanted to know what attitude Blease
would take toward the Charleston sit
uation. He told of meeting in Char
lesion Fred II. DOminick. campaign
manager for Blease. who made some
promises as to favorable deal to-
ward Charleston on the part Of the
governor. Mayor Grace said that he
thought Blease represented the plain
people and that he was progressive
when he threw his support to him.
He said that Blease had always called
him John" but that he did not rel
ish the thought. and that he had
never called Blease Cole" always
using the "Mr."
Mayor Grace said that later, after
he had decided to support Blease. and
just before the Inauguration. he met
Il |'~""~ ~ ne SONeTnOT-
elect was at that time preparing his
message to the general assembly
Insofar as Grace knew, the message
was fair and just to Charleston. He
said that the message or that part OF
1t that he read contained everything
favorable to the advancement OF
Charleston along law and order lines
He said that the message presented
law rather than lawlessness.
Mayor Grace said that when in
the gallery OF the house Of represen-
tatives on the day Of Inauguration he
heard the message and he was
astounded. 1T was the rawest
craziest thing that a man ever wrote
and 1t was calculated TO discredit him
In any commua,tv." said Mayor
Grace. He said that the "atmos-
phere around the whole thing was
positively lOathsome."

several interesting stories of these an.

tame elephant with potatoes which
the elephant took from his hand. A

After several unsuccessful attempts
to get it the animal blew so strong a

often blow just beyond small objects

Dr. Romanes repeats the story of
an elephant that was chained to a tree
near little oven in which his driver
had just baked some rice cakes. When
the driver went away. leaving his
cakes to cool, the elephant uufastened
the chain from his leg, uncovered the
