 The DE. avails itself of the op- portunity to submit "a few remarks on Col. Grady's confession: It shows that editors of the daily papers are not always correctly informed as to public men. But they are not to be entirely discredited for making mis- takes honestly. And when we think it creditable to Col. Grady to acknowl- edge his error. MT. Hodges is man of bigger calibre than some men think him to be. We expect him to be heard of later.-Ozark Democrat Enterprise.

Eleetest Animals,

Writers of a century ago were f1rm
in the conviction that the greyhound
was the fastest living animal; some
maintained that he could run mile in
a minute. Modern observers, however,
have found that the best hound is by
no means able to keep pace with
trained race horse. Indeed, the late J.
A. Graham, a careful student Of such
matters, used to say that no living
animal could outfoot modern race
horse.
A first rate horse running his best
and not handicapped by carrying a
rider can run mile in less than 100
seconds. A fleet hound, such as those
used in coursing, can run a mile in
about a minute and fifty seconds. A
jack rabbit is nearly as fast, and an
antelope is considerably faster. Mr..
Graham thought an antelope might
run mile across the level prairie in
a minute and forty-five seconds.
On the other hand, Mr.. Cottar, an
old African hunter, thinks that Hhom-
sons gazelle would have no trouble
whatever in running away from the
fastest horse and that Grants gazelle
and the gerenuk are almost equally
feet.-Youth's Companion.

How Some lnseoxs. MultipIy.

The fecundity Of certain insect forms
Is astounding. The progeny Of one lit
tie insect, the chop aphis," sees thir-
teen generations born to it in single
year and would, if unchecked to the
end of the twelfth generation, multi
ply to the uncomfortable number of
ten sextillions of individuals. If this
brood were marshaled in line, ten to
the inch, it would extend to point SO
sunk in the profundity of space that
light from the head Of the procession,
travelling at the rate of $4,000 miles
a second, would take $500 years to
reach the earth. In eight years the
progeny Of a pair Of gypsy moths
could destroy all the foliage in the
United States if unchecked.-Popular

CONSECRATES new
CELL Donated TO
FAiRF. ELD CHURCH
Ancient Ceremony Used by
Vicar General I'm Service
at St. Thomas.
Especial to The Farmer.)

(OpeCidI " Lie 4 dIlleI.)
Fairfield, Nov. 27-With the same
ceremony used by Pope Stephen II
in the middle of the eighth century
when he hung three new bells in the
dome of st. Peters at Rome, Monsig-
nor Thomas Duggan, vicar general, of
the Hartford diocese, yesterday con-
secrated the new bell that; will be
hung in the steeple of ST. Thomas
church. Fairfield. l@
st. Thomas church scarcely could
contain the gathering that came to
view the ceremony. Persons of all
faiths and from many towns were
pr esent.
The bell was presented the church
by Margaret and the late Jane Malone
OF Fairfield. 1t cost several hundred
dollars. Changes will be made in the
church belfry for it's accommoda-
ton.
Among the priests in the chancel
were:
Monsignor Duggan, Rev. W. J..
Blake, pastor of st. Thomas church,
Rev. J. B. Mill, permanent rector of
st. Augustines church, Bridgeport,
Rev. Edward Hayes and Rev. Robert
Bowen of St. Augustine's, Rev. Thos.
P. Mooney of Sacred Heart church,
Rev Stephen Chernitzky, pastor of
st. Stephens Hungarian church,
Bridgeport, Rev. w. J. flaming of
Union City, Rev. Edward Brennan,
former United States Naval chaplain,
of Waterbury, Rev. Lawrence Guinan
of South Meriden, and Rev. Peter H.
MCLEAN of Milford.
Following the conservation cere-
mony, Father MCLEAN addressed the
congregation, telling of the history of
the use of bells in connection with
Christian churches.
The use of small gold bells is men
toned in the Old Testament. They
were attached to the vestments of
the priests so that their tinkling
would attract the attention of the
people at worship, to him, inasmuch
as he was performing the rites of the
peoples religion.
Bells were not used in the early
days of the Church. Services had to
be held in secret, because death wsts
the penalty for being Christian. An
other reason probably was that the
Christians did not wish to attract the
unregenerated to their. services. After
Constantine's time, bells were general
ly used. !,
st. Patrick employed hand bells in
ireland as: did the 9white-robed mis-
sionaries that followed him. Enter
ing a town, they would ring their
bells, calling the people to prayer.
Father MCLEAN touched on the
present significance Of church bell
ringing, announcing the Angelus, and
SUNNI oning the people to pray for de-
parted ones. ,...
Benediction was celebrated by

Really Little Known of Poland.

Really Little Known OF Poland.
Poland's history, with its fight for
freedom, justice and equality, its
struggle in defense Of Christianity and
European civilization and it's unself-
ishness in aiding the weak, made it
famous among the worlds nations,
both in success and adversely. The
achievements of the Polish nation in
art, music, literature, science and re-
ligion are known, as are the life deeds
of its great men.
But the Industries, mines, trade and
natural wealth of that unhappy coun-
try have since its partition been to a,
great extent a sealed book to most
Of the people outside of the nations
attempting to assimilate the Poles.
This was principally due to the in
ability of people from the outside to
break through the network of foreign
governmental systems in which Po-
land is enmeshed.-Buffalo News.

ing They were arrested in a Water
street lodging house.
The police are investigating the
movements of a young man who was
implicated in the ho1d-up of some
trolley men recently, at the point Of
gun. Thus far they have failed to
place him anywhere near the scene
Of the crime. Today, Lieut.. Cronan
is making a diligent search of the en-
tire city for the men and has ordered
the members of his bureau to arrest
any suspicious characters, who might
be members Of the gang.
The three men who entered Garons

the same highwaymen who have at
tempted or committed the following
robberies:

Money No Object.


AS an instance Of the reckless char
acter of the old time British tar an
English writer quotes the following
authenticated Renaissance:
Zone morning, as an officer was
standing in Fore street, Davenport, his
attention was drawn to three post
chaises, with four horses to each,
drawn up at the door Of the Kings
Arms hotel. These were presently
driven off. On inquiring what great
person had arrived, the officer was
informed that all this display was the
freak of a common sailor, who had
just received $500 in prize money, and,
having been granted but a. weeks
leave, his ingenuity had devised the
most ostentatious mode Of GettinG rid

look like f1fty-ffty. In fact, that is
the way the sportively inclined are
