GIVES WAY FOR IMPROVEMENT
oid-Time Methodist Church Building
in New York Is to Be
ObIiterated.

New York-The Methodist congre-
cation of old Greenwich village, which
has been self-sustaining for los years,
notwithstanding the fact that the dis
trict has since been overrun by bust
ness, is holding its last services in
its Bedford Street church, the little
red brick structure in which the
congregation has worshiped since
1910, having been condemned to make
room for subway building. The con-
gregation was organized at the home
of Samuel Walgrove, a carpenter, in
Greenwich village, in 1905, and it is
the third oldest congregation in New
York
Several of the present worshipers,
who have been members of the church
TOR more than so years, recall the zen
it'll of the church's popularity just be
fore the Civil war, when the Rev.
John P. Newman, who later became a
bishop and General Grants pastor in
the Metropolitan temple, drew such
crowds that he had to climb in a win
dow every Sunday evening to reach
his pulpit.

Old Fiction Regarding Famous Man

again Of an old fiction about the value
Of the tapestries in that deserted man

Of them as worth a quarter Of a
million
AS a matter of fact the Haddon ia
Pestries are not valuable at all save
for the fact that they are genuine old

holly tried to keep him away the
more he sought his grandfather's COM
7any.
Grandfather Bowes had been as
dgned little room at the top of the
house, upon the servants floor. He
dined with the family when no guests
we're present. When there were visit
ors, his meals were sent in to him in

objection. Molly excused herself on
the ground of Phillips welfare, and
told her friends that her father was in
poor health.

the most disgusting table manners
from father. lie makes a noise with
his soup and bites his bread instead of

more"
John Van Norden shrugged his
shoulders. Personally he did not ap-
prove of Molly's treatment of her
father, but he realized that it was no
affair of his. and, even if it were, it
would do no good to make trouble
about it So thenceforward grand
father ate his meals in the next room
in solitude.
The old man, roaming about the
house, gradually became a disintegrat-

LEWIS GOOD FOR EUGENICS

Now for Sale.

London.-The island of Lewis, which
which seems to have been offered TO
Mr.. Lloyd George and has long been

found a university for the study OF
practical "eugenics." The custom of
putting to death weakly or deformed
children by exposure" approved by
Plato, formerly prevailed here, and,
according to Mackenzie, existed with
in comparatively modern times"
AS a result, the Lewisians are far
superior in physique to all other Is

PHILIP AND GRANDPA
ev FRANK FILsoN.


It was a great shock to the Van Nor
dens when Henry Bowes, Mrs. Van
Norden's father, announced by letter
that he had sold his farm and was
coming to live with them in their
house on Fifth avenue.
''Pshaw, Molly, we can stow the old
gentleman away somehow" said John
Van Norden. His recollections Of the
days when he, a city clerk on vaca-
ton, had 'courted Molly Bowes, his
farmer hosts daughter, had always
thrown a sympathetic light around the
old man. Il guess he's pretty lonely
up there in Cohoes," he added. Il
shouldn't like to have to live all by
myself at eighty"
But he'll teach Philip such dreadful
manners" protested Molly. You
know, a child of five picks up anything
and everything. First thing we know
the boy will be eating peas with his
knife and trying to chew tobacco"
well, what are we going to do,
dear?" asked her husband.
81 suppose we'll have to take him. -
said Molly. But 1 shall make it per-
fectly clear to him, the moment he ar
rives, that he is not going to display
himself before our friends and make
US ridiculous, after all the trouble
we've taken to get into the right set.
This was duly explained to Henry
Bowes-"Hank' BoWes among his
cronies at the local store. The old
man put his not too clean hand on his
daughters shoulder and looked kindly
at her.
MY dear" he said, 81 amt going to
disgrace you, don't fear it. It's you 1
Want-you and John and Philip. I'm
going to make myself scarce when
there's swell company around"
He had included Philip in his sum-
mary, but Molly Van Norden was de-
termined that he should have no op-
portunfty of corrupting the boys man
ners. Nevertheless, with that curious
attachment which frequently exists
between those of the extreme ages of
life, Philip and the old man sought
each others company continually.
Philip learned to white whistles out
of twigs, to blow out the leaves Of a
certain plant into frogs" and sur
reptitiously acquired candy would fall
out of the boys pockets when he was
