THE DAILY STORY.
A Bishops RattIesnake.
Copyright. 1918. by W. Werner,

This Is true story of an occurrence
which happened in New York last year.
1t was told to me by the hero of the
call the Bishop of Florida One of the
objects which Bishop Brown had in
view when he came to New York
was to obtain money with which to
build a cathedral in his diocese.
He was anxious to secure $4,000.
and of this amount about $4,000 had
been promised by residents of Florida.
In New York he had little difficulty in
inducing a number of clergymen to
place their pulpits at his disposal for
either a Sunday morning or evening
service. This was the first step. He
knew that his own eloquence and per-
suasiveness must do the rest. His open
ing sermon, preached at St faul =
proved decided success. The col
lection amounted to over thousand
dollars. His second sermon, at st,
Peters. brought almost double that sum.
and some OF the newspapers comment
ed favorably upon the bishops remark
able capacity for impreSSing his listen
ers But it was to his third appeal
from the pulpit that the reverend
gentleman looked forward as likely to
bring him very large return, for that
appeal was to be made at 81 Mar :,
a church frequented by the wealthiest
congregation in New York. His eX-
pectations We're not disappointed. The
collection on being counted was found
to consist of written promises for al
most SCI 900, and also more than $4,000
in currency. Nor was this splendid
result all. There was an added sur
prise-a very pleasant one-in store for
the bishop. When he emerged from the
church carrying in his hand, as he
generally did, his serviceable. well
worn leather grip" he was accosted
by a stranger who stood waiting for
him outside the door. The latter was
a middle aged man with gray whiskers'
of gentlemanly appearance, well dress
ed in that quiet, sober style which
carries with it the stamp of solid, ma
terial prosperity. combined with seri-
Gus mind on religious matters. He
raised his hat to the bishop with a
certain grave, somewhat prim air of
old world courtesy.
Pardon stranger for ADDRESSING
you" he said. But I have been deeply
Interested by what you told US in your
sermon, and there are few questions
which l should like to ask you"
I'm always glad to meet any one
who Is interested in my work. and sc
afford him any information which

Nature does not produce coarse

such growths is to devitalize them.

The Signal Corps Company was in
structed in saddling Tuesday night.
The horse of Sergt A. C. Hall was used.
Some of the men had never tried to
saddle up before, and this instruction,
1t was declared, will help them con-
siderably for what is coming next
month at the encampment. 1t has been
decided to have a similar instruction
Tuesday night, when three horses will
be used.
The company enlisted three new men.

enlistment expired last week, re-enlist-
ed. The company now has sixty-nine
men and recruiting will soon be
brought to a stop. as the company is
entitled to only seventy-five men.
Sergt. Hall is the first man to pay in
his mess assessment. Forty-eight men
turned out for drill Tuesday night, and
now that the time for going to camp
draws near more are looked for. There
are several things to teach the new
men, such as folding blanket rolls,
hoped that they will show up and not
have to learn these little wrinkles at
the last moment.
First Sergt- L. c. Winters made
fine showing in his new job. and it is
up TO the men to help him along until
he learns the details of the position.

where the company will go for camp

that there will be a road march in con-
