RETIRING PASTOR
BURNS UP FLOCK.
SAYS HE DOESN'T PURPOSE TO
BECOME OBJECT OF CHARITY
90 at so He Declares He VIII Get Into
1usiness-seores Knocking"
Practitioners.

Pueblo, Colo.-Declaring that he Is
tired Of being buffeted about from pill
lar TO post ''at the whim Of any con-
gregation which may desire change
in preachers" the Rev. w. T. Hilton,
for the past four years pastor of the
Central Christian Church of this city,
rendered his resignation from both the
church and the ministry in SEN
sational farewell sermon. He had
been asked to resign because of lack
of harmony in the congregation.
The retiring pastor chose for his
subject "The Discouragements OF
Preaching for Living" and handled
1t without gloves.
Some persons regard the average
preacher as a sort of brainless
sissy" he said. I'm their opinion, he
is too bloodless a creature to deserve
classification as human being. When
I started to college, thirty years ago,
II was with great ambitions for the
future. l saw myself rising to the
heights. But in the quarter of cen
fury which has passed in the work
l have been cruelty undeceived.
Il am now SO years old. In ten years
more there will be more wrinkles on
my brow than now. The church has
no use for a 60-year-old minister. In
the church j face the prospect Of be.
ing an object of charity when | am
old. / have ten years of active life
still before me, and l do not purpose
to spend 1t preaching"
One of the hindrances in church
work, the retiring pastor said, is the
fact that congregation soon grows
tired of any minister and begins want
ing a change.
when my successor arrives, you
will give him a royal reception" he
said. He will be wined and dined
and treated as a very distinguished
visitor.
&. When, alter this splendid recep-
ton. he -apd his wife are alone that
night one OF them will say to the
other:
81 wonder which of that bunch will
be the first to start knocking?"
Hilton added that, beginning at
once, he proposed to enter upon a
business career. He will continue to
live in Pueblo and to attend the same
church from which he has resigned.
To show that he bore no malice, he
insisted that the whole congregation
come forward to shake hands with
him at the close of the sermon. Hun
dreds of men, women and children re-
sponded with the tears streaming
down their faces.

COULDN'T TEMPT CUPID,
NOT EVEN WITH MONEY
Romeo Keeps Showing Bills Under
Girls Door Until He Lands In
the "Nut" Section.

New York, n. Y.-Warning to young
men in love! Read and profit thereby.
William L. Davis, 20 of Jersey City,
madly loved Flora Paeltz of Waverly
Place, and that is why William is in
the psychopatic ward of Bellevue Hos
pital. Flora's father, Max A. Paeltz,
had caused Patrolman Shevlin to
arrest William.
In the night court Paeltz said he
was tired of having Davis shove
money under the front door of his
abode. Flora said she was too. And
she was tired of receiving four letters
a day from the young man, she said;
and her father objected to his pensive
habit of sleeping on the front door
step.
Every morning, he said, the youth
was on the spot as Flora went out to
her school teaching. and fell upon his
knees to protest his love. When he
could not think of other things to do
he tucked good U. S. bills under the
PaeltZ front door.
The last night he came around he
showed in a five and ten, and that ac-
ton led Paeltz to ask the young mars
arrest.
Davis admitted it all, but said he
was madly in love with the girl-and
could not help it.
That's not the way to win a GIRL"
said Magistrate Murphy.
Il thought it was the only way"
Davis answered sadly.
TRY staying away" advised the
magistrate. IF let you go, will you
promise to stay away?"
mo, l can't do that" replied Davis.
Henry w. Hodge, Public Service
Commissioner. said he knew Davis
and thought that he had been study
ing too hard and that his mind was
unbalanced.
Magistrate Murphy dismissed the
charge Of disorderly conduct and sent
Davis to Bellevue for observation.

st. Paul, MIMI Mrs. Johanna Oh
son of this city, hale and spry in her

Mrs. Olson has smoked a pipe for
fifty-two years, not just once in a
while, but all the time. Not only in
the daytime, but she even gets I'D a

her favorite weed.
Being deaf and unable to speak Eng

reply to the query as to whether she
liked to smoke, but filling and light

would have turned the average smok.

give demonstration of the picture
OF contentment seen only in tobacco

Mrs. Olson was born in GUTENBERG.

forty-one years. She feels young

Kansas City. Mo.-When Michael

River had restored to him, with inter-
est, a farm of which 1t robbed him

A good many years ago Mr.. Rice
bought a tract of 120 acres on the
south bank of the Missouri near
Anterior. BY hard work he paid ST.

making living for himself and his
family. Then the changing current be-
gan to eat away his rich acres. and In
a very short time the tract had been
reduced to a narrow fringe of ten or
twelve acres. He decided to so West.
Mr.. Rice said the little strip of land
had grown by accretions. not only to
the original size OF 100 acres, but to

Where He, and Girl Companion

Buffalo, N. "a mouse In q bottle
OF ginger ale served at the Old Teck

MeGregor told Judge Noonan that
he went to the cafe one night accom-
panied by Miss Grace Hickey. They
had little supper and after few
dances ordered cooling drinks. Nc
Gregor took Porto Rican rickey, one
of the ingredients of which is ginger
ale. A waiter poured the drink and
left the ginger ale bottle on the table.
Looking up from a grapejuice high
ball, Miss Hickey saw, she testified.
what she thought was string pro-
truding from the neck of the ginger
ale bottle. McGregor called waiter.

Out of the bottle he pulled small
house mouse by the tail.
McGregor and Miss Hickey became
nauseated, they testified. McGregor
took his companion home. He, went
to work two days later, he said, and
then became so sick that he had to go
to his home in Canada, where he spent
two weeks recuperating.
But the mouse was still on his mind
when he came back, he declared, and
the mental picture of it soaking in his
ginger ale so upset him, he testified.
that he was able to work only half the
time for three weeks after he came
back. McGregor said his illness cost
him 500 in income.
DR.. James E. Sullivan testified that
he had attended McGregor and that
McGregor had stomach cramps for

Mr.. Geyer and Edward p. Pattison

Washington, ID. G. - Paraphrasing
Shakespeare often quoted question,
What's in a manner" the question of
What's not in a names" has been
answered in the brief of recent ap-
peal from a decision of the United
States Examiner of Trade Marks.
This particular case hinged upon
whether or not a word with a well-de,
fined meaning could be divorced from
that meaning. 1t was claimed that
this could be done, and in support of
this contention the following apparent
misnomers were cited:
There is no cream in cream of tar
tar, in cold cream or in chocolate
creams; no milk in magnesia or in
milk-weed. These are all as remote
from tbs cow as the cowslip.
There is no grape in grapefruit or
bread in breadfruit. A pineapple is
neither pine nor apple; a prickly pear
is not a pear; an alligator pear is nei-
Their q pear nor an alligator, and a
sugar plum is not plum.
Apple butter is not butter. All the
butter is taken out of buttermilk,
and there is none in butternuts, or in
buttercups, and the flies in the cream
cry are not butterflies.
Peanuts are not peas, and it is
doubtful il they are nuts. Sailors wear
pea,jackets-peas do not, they have
pea-cods, which, by the way, are not
fish.
Monkey wrenches are neither
made by nor of monkeys. Poles are
not made from polecats nor badges
from the badger.
"a woodchuck is grounding,
which is not hog and is not ground
ground hog is sausage.
Angel food Is eaten by everybody.
There are no sponges in sponge cake,
and the eating OF ladyhngers does not
indicate cannibalism.
"Chickenpox has nothing to do with
chickens. neither has an eggplant
nor q cocktail.
"A horse chestnut is as far removed
from horses as sawhorse, clothes
horse, or horseradish. A horse chest
nut is a nut, so Is the thing that goes
