FAMOUS OLD CHURCH GONE
Flames That Consumed Historic Washington Edifice Also Destroyed
 Relics That Were Priceless.

St Paulss parish church, in Rock Creek cemetery, the oldest church in Washington and one of the oldest in the United States, was recently de stroyed by fire. The interior of the building, valuable memorial windows. old relics and paintings were burned, and the four walls of the structure, erected in 1776, were all that was left of the historic edifce.
 Among the historic relies destroyed by the fire was a large folio Bible, which was contained in a glass case near the chancel. The Bible was bought in 1727. was used for many years and was paid for by the con- gregation with tobacco. With the Bible. also destroyed, were two large eolio common prayer books, the price for which, according to records at the church, was a quantity of to- bacco which was to bring not less than Id per pound"
 The first Easter service to be held in the present territory of the Dis trict of Columbia took place at old St. Pauls church, Rock Creek, in 1791.

fl You Need a ModlcIna
 You Should Have tho Besi

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are ex- tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. q preparation l have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale"
 According to Cworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact. so many people claim, that it fulfHs al, most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; correets uri, nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acld which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr: Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y. and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

 To the little Shepherd it seemed to say: "Bing-Bing-B -Bing-Bing- -Bing. Coming, Coming, Com-ing!r'
 Many of the friends of his mother mostly poor folk of the parish who worked in the mill-cdme with simple gifts and happy greetings. There were tlgose among them who thought it a blessing to look upon the sweet face of Bob and to hear his merry laughter over some playful bit of gossip and Judge Crooker said that they were quite right about it. Mr. and Mrs. J. Patterson Bing were never to feel this blessing. The Shepherd of the Birds waited in vain for them that Christ mas day. Mrs. Bing sent letter of kindly greeting and a twenty-dollar gold piece and explained that her hus- band was not feeling quite up to the mark" which was true

 There were tears in the Shepherds eyes when his mother helped him into his night clothes that evening.
 T hate that twenty-dollar gold piece p he exclaimed.
 'Laddie boy Why should ye be sayin' that?"
 The shiny piece of metal was lying on the window sill. She took it in her ! hand

 Furthermore, it is quite likely that every one in Bingville including those impersonaI creatures known as Law and Order, would have been much happier if some magician could have turned MT. Blenkinsop into a hired girl and have made him a life mem Der of 'the Dish Water Aristoeracy," ," as Judge Crooker was wont to call it..
 The community of Bingville was noted for it's simplicity and good sense. Servants were unknown in this village of three thousand people. It had lawyers and doctors and profess ors and merchants-some of whom were deservedly well known-and J. Patterson Bing, the owner of the pulp mill, celebrated for his riches; but one could almost say that it's most sought for and popular folk were its hired girls. They were few and sniffy. They exercised care and discretion in the choice of their employers. They regulated the diet of the said employ CTS and the frequency and quality of their entertainments. If it could be said that there was an aristocracy in the place they were it. First, among the Who's Who in BlngvilIe. were the GilIigan sisters who worked in the big brick house of Judge Crooker; another was Mrs. Pat Collins. seyenty-two years of age. who presided in the kit chen of tine Reverend Otis Singleton; the two others were Susan Crowder, a woman of sixty, and red-headed girl with one eye, of the name of Featherstraw, both of whom served

 One little word largely accounted for the success of J. Patterson Bing. It was the word no" It saved him in moments which would have been full of peril for other men. He had never made a bad investment because he knew how and when to say mo" It fell from his lips so sharply and decisively that he lost little time in the consideration of doubtful enter prises. Sometimes it fell heavily and left q wound, for which Mir. Bing thought himself in no way responsi- ble. There was really a lot of good will in him. He didn't mean to hurt any one.
 "Time is a thing of great value and what's the use of wasting it in idle palaver?" he used to say.
 One day, Hiram Blenkinsop, who was just recovering from q spree, met Mir. Bing at the corner of Main and School streets and asked him for the loan of dollar.
 No slrw said Mir. l.. Patterson Bing, and the words sounded like two whaeks of a hammer on a nall No sir" he repeated, the second whack being now the more emphatic. T don't lend money to people who make a bad use of it."
 Gan you give me work?" asked the unfortunate drunkard.
 "No But if you were a hired girl, I'd consider the matter"
 Some people who overheard the words laughed loudly. Poor Blenlzin- sop made no reply. but he considered the words an insult to his manhood in spite of the fact that he hadn't any manhood to speak of. At least, there was not enough of it to stand up and be insulted--that is sure After that he was always raeking his brain for something mean to soy about ]. Pat ] terson Bing.
