THOUGHT PAT MARTHUR
HAD BECOME BALD

To mistake full-blooded son Of the
green sod for modern Jewish gentle
man was the peculiar circumstances
at the state capitol building yesterday,
when h T. Vandecar, a prominent To-
cal citizen, sized up Joe Singer, a
clerk for the legislature as being the
distinguished Pat Macarthur, speaker
of the house of representatives
Vandecar and Frank Happy" Ward
were lettering in the house when Joe
Singer mounted the speakers throne
and began arranging and re-arranging
the papers and books on the bench
With bowed head he worked, and Van
decar looking up suddenly exclaimed:
BY Jinks, | didn't know Pat was
baldheaded before Watcha know
about that?" The clerk then raised his
face, which bore the unmistakable
nose and gold-rimemd glasses, and
Van actually cracked chair by sud-
den convulsion, while Happy" grin
ned out loud, and, of course, told Pat.
Van is now consulting an optician, be-
lieving that he can't distinguish red
from white.

Bishop USHER and Geology.
(Christian Herald)

NCuTlSJldu t1eIdluJ
The chronological references found
on the margin Of many Bible (though
not on alb are believed to have been
the work of Bishop USHER, a prelate
Of the Irish church, who lived in the
sixteenth century, and who was
famous authority on Bible history.
Taking the year /, A. D., as his point
Of departure he reckoned backward in
Bible history as far as his researches
seemed to warrant, and his calcula-
tions were given, not as authority or
as a part of the Bible in any sense, but
as helps to Bible study. The Bible
itself fixes no date for the creation
but simply says Gin Gen. I'D "In the
beginning God created" Later revela-
tions in the form of ancient monu-
ments, inscriptions, etc, have shown
the fallacy Of Ussher's computations,
and they are now generally discarded
Geology has proved that the antiquity
Of the world and Of the human race
extends countless ages back Of Ussh-
er's figures. There is here no conflict
, of science and the Bible, although
many have so supposed.

Governor Hoch, the distinguished
Kansan, who Is coming to this city
this winter as number Of the lyce-

issue Of his paper, the Marion Record:
Dining in fashionable cafe, as
often do, | seldom indulge in fancy
dishes. In the first place | don't know
how to pronounce a lot of their out
landish names and hate to admit It to
some plebian waiter; and then these
new-fangled things cost SO much. So
/ generally stick to plain provender
about which I know l can make no
mistake. But this morning ventured
out little and ordered a squad on
toast. Now, really this wasn't my
first offense, though always think it
