MISSIONARY WORK
 IN SOUTH AFRICA
Rev. Frederick B. Bridgman Tells Of . Work At South Congregational
 Church Yesterday.

Rev. Frederick B. Bridgman of Johannesburg, South Africa, delivered an interesting address on the mission ary work in that country at the South Congregational church yesterday morning. Rev. MT. Bridgman made his first public confession of faith at the church during the pasturate of the late Rev. pr. James w. Cooper and this fact made his appearance doubly significant.
 The city of Johannesburg has population of 450,0O0 of which 3OO,- 900 are native blacks The greater part of them are miners and are un- derground 5000 or 5000 feet most of the time. The mines there fur nish forty per cent. of the worlds gold supply. Many accidents occur and the hospitals are nearly always crowded. The natives are very ig- norant but in the opinion of the speaker, not nearly so much as some of the white men sent over from Eng land to supervise the work. The lat ter brought habits and vices, which were unheard of in that country be- fore. Their living conditions are had and furnish poor examples for the natives.
 There is vast field for missionary work, the missionary church being so had that Rev. MT. Bridgman said he often shivers as he ascends the pulpit. The city has it's slums and liens, some of which are as bad as those of New York. Although the conditions are being made better by the missionaries asserted the speaker as he told of the words of compliment received from a police officer regarding the action of some of his parishioners. There are two outstanding results of missionary work, according 70 Rev. MT. Bridgman, one being the organ 1zation of bands of good, clean, up- right men and the other, the dream that some of those taught Christian ity and the fellowship of Christ will l return and help spread the gospel of | the Maker.

CATCHER CATCHES
 AND TRAIN STOPS
Locomotive On Bristol ''Exprcss' Tries to Tear Up Roadbed at
 EImWOOd Station.

It is supposed to leave Hartford on certain mornings of the week at 9:15 Sometimes it does,-sometime 1t does not. MOreOften it is the latter case. This refers, of course, to the Bristol Express the same being a train on the New York; New Haven and Hartford, which travels between the capital city and the town where null hilarious industries are working over time turning out intuition of war; Well, this morning the Bristol Ex- press, it may be dignified by that ap- pellatiOn, left Hartford seven minutes late. There were many passengers aboard, men, women and children, but mostly men, all on business bent. Some of them were drummers Any way, the train was chug- -chugging- that IS the proper way of describing it.-the train was chug- chugging along at fairly good clip. By the clock, 1t was approaching half after nine. In the deestance,-the deestance is good, Tn the deestance, then, could be seen the outlines of the little station at Elmwood. It was rather foggy, thus accounting for the meager outline of the station. All of a sudden. It was
 
 came to a halt Bang It stood in it's tracks, neither, moving to the left nor the right. Perfectly stationary. on the other side of the station, al- though the engine was not a station ary engine. Heavens! Something had happened
 It was so rainy, and misty, and dark, and dreary, and dismal that no passen- ger made a move. Instead, they all sat tight and buried themselves deep behind the pages of their morning newspapers. After remaining in this position for an hour, someone ven tured to remark about the accident It must have been that. Then they all wanted to know what happened. Just as they were on the point of going out to see what was the matter, the conductor, a stately looking individual, well trained in the ways of "Courtesy' and Safety First, stepped into the first coach and made his way toward the end of the train. He looked neither to the left nor the right afraid to en- counter the gaze of the exasperated passengers Then, when he had got well down the aisle in the last coach he leaned over the seat wherein was enscOnced a friend of Howard Elliot's and whispered so all could hear, Say, have you got a piece of string? We want to fix the engine" And sure enough, that was the trouble The coWcatcher of the engine had plowed it's way into the boards between the tracks at Elmwood and after getting it's nose out of the splintered wood, they wanted a piece of string to hold it up. The string broke, though, and a passing freight train was kind enough to stop and lend it's engine to the Bristol Express, thereby enabling thousands of travelling men to get into New Britain from Hartford one hour and thirty minutes late. All of which is some railroading

O-Kop-O-Nee, centenarian of the Black-foot tribe, feels that the fates are kind to him, inasmuch as May 13, designated as National Indian day. falls upon his birthday. O-Kop-O- Nee, by the way, probably is the only living Indian who knows the exact day of his birth. Most Indians figure they are about so old,' figuring so many moons" But O-kop-O-Nee came into this world the day his father, a noted chief, passed to the happy hunting grounds. A priest, who lived among the Bia ackfOOt tribe, chisseled a headstOne for the chiefs grave, and on it be put the date, May IS, 1915; hence on May 13, national Indian day, O-Kop-O-N celebrated his one hundred and first birthday. It is a coincidence that the idea of es- ta tablishing a national indian day for all tribes of red men to celebrate sim ultaneously throughout the country was first advocated twenty years ago by O-kOp- O-Nee.
