Old Wendell Hopkins’ hired man is an ab- sent-minded chap; He’ll start for a chair and like as not set down in some one’s lap. I happened along where he stopped to bait his hosses the other day— He'd given the hosses his luncheon pail and was trying to eat their hay— A kind of a foolish sort of a trick for even a hired man, But he tackled a different kind of a snag {| when he fooled with Matilda Ann. When he fooled with Matilda Ann, by jinks, he got it square in the neck, And the doctors say, though live he may, he’s a total human wreck. He’s wrapped in batting and thinking now Of the grief in insulting a brindle cow. Matilda Ann gives down her milk and she doesn’t switch her tail, She gives ten quarts—week in, week out, and she never kicks the pail, She doesn’t hook and she doesn’t jump, but even Matilda Ann _ Ain’t called to stand all sorts of grief from a silly hired man. a : And when he stubbed to the milking shed in sort of a dream and tried To make Matilda “So” and “Whoa” while he milked on the wrong off side— She giv’ him a look to wilt his soul and plugged him once with her hoof, And I guess that at last his wits were jogged as he slammed through the Untet roof. | He's got a pouitice on his brow Of the size of the foot of a brindle cow. Now, study the ways of the world, my} son; oh, study the ways of life! It’s the hustling chap who gets the cash or the girl he wants for a wife; It’s the feller that spots the place to grab when Chance goes swinging by Who gets his dab in the juiciest place and the biggest plum in the pie. There’s always a chance to milk the world; there's a teat, a pail and a stool; There's a place forthe chap with sense and grit, buta erous holt for a fool, For while the feller that’s up to snuff drums a merry tune in his pail The fool’sneaks up on the left-hand side and lands in the grave or jail, . It's an awkward place, as you'll allow, The off-hand side of the world or a cow. —Lewistan Journal. ——————— will SETA I 2 xa serra ws MINISTER WU SHOCKED. Chinese Minister Horrified at Cone 4 duct of the Maids and Their Swains During a Hay Ride. Minister Wu Ting Fang disapproves of the American straw ride. The Chi- nese envoy was a guest at such a func- tion the other evening with his nephew, F. Ung Choa Shee. Four horses, decked with sleighbells and plumes, pulled a haycart half full of straw. The minister had the seat of honor at the head of the load. A dozen ‘pretty Cape May (N. J.) damsels, with - their beaux, formed the party. Minister Wu was delighted until, by the light of one of the Japanese lan- terns, he saw the arm of one of the young fellows steal around a girl’s waist. In China this would be a most shocking breach of the peace, and the Chinese minister looked to see if the girl resented the advance. Instead, her hand found that of her sweetheart under the straw and held it. The further the wagon went the more did the billing and cooing become epi- demic. Minister Wu had been brought up to different things. Taking the arm of his nephew firmly in his hand he pulled him to the end of the wagon and alighted. “We need exercise and will walk home,” he said to the astonished peo- ple, and politely saying good night he and the young man went to the hotel across lots. The minister will say nothing as to his reasons for leaving the party. He only says the women of China donot go on straw rides. SY ERE, BEES STAMPEDE A FUNERAL. Sting Horses Attached to the Hearse and Cause a Commo- tion. As the hearse containing the body of James Bracken, formerly of New Albany, was driven into the rural cemetery near Bradford, Harrison county, Ind., one of the horses at- tached to it trod on a nest of bumble bees. For a few minutes there was a lively scene. The angry bees swarmed from the nest and it at- tacked everything and everybody in sight. They stung the driver of the hearse until he was blinded and fled. They attacked the pall-bearers around Going West. Going East.

The’ ‘ widow and the mourners in the car- riages following were victims of the insects’ activity. The attending min- ister was stung by two of the bees and many of the attending friends were driven from the cemetery. The horses attached to the hearse were the first\to feel the vengeance of the bees and were stung so badly that they ran. away, but they were cayght by the committee of Hope lodge of Odd Fellows of Louisville, Ky., of which Mr. Bracken had been a member, just as the hearse and cof- fin were about to be overturned. Aft- er a vigorous fight that lasted for half an hour the bees were driven away, the coffin taken from the hearse and the body laid to rest. TO CHANGE CHURCH MUSIC. Cardinal Steinhuber Will Bar Oper. atic Airs from Catholic Services, The official confirmation of the ap- pointment of Cardinal Steinhuber as prefect in Rome of the congregation of the index was received at Washing- ton. The news is expected to cause lively comment in clerical circles. Cardinal Steinhuber has some de cided views on the adoption of a bet- ter standard of church music than now prevails in this country. With hisap- pointment as head of this congrega- tion he will have direct control of the | { St. Cecelia’s society and other organ. |i izations looking to the betterment of| \ church music in the United States, The operatie airs which are now gen- erally sung by the choir here are ob+ noxious, it is said, to the spirit of the Catholic church, which for cen- turies has recognized no other form of ecclesiastical music than the.Greg- orian chant. For certain reasons, hows ever, greater latitude has been given to American choirs than to those of any other country, but now the au- thorities at Rome are determined to support societies like that of St. Ce celia, whose purpose is gradually -to eliminate what is considered baneful in church music, PASTORS FOR SHIRT WAISTS, Cincinnati Clergymen Favor Com- fortable Summer Apparel for Men. ‘ With scarcely an exception Cincin- nati (O.) clergymen favor shirt waists for men and are not averse to having them worn in church. Rev. W. D Holt, of the North Side Baptist church, “I would be glad to see the men at ehureh in shirts without suspenders The shirt-waist idea is reasonable, and I will support any reasonable plan that will bring men to church.” Rev. S. 8. Aikman, of the Fifth Pres byterian church, said: “A preacher might as well talk to a dummy as try to make an impression on a man swel- tering under coat and vest in a pew.” “It’s a sin, this business of wrap- ping up in summer as if we were freez ing, and then saying we can’t go to church because it is too hot,” said Rev, A. M. Harvuot, of Central Christian church. 3 ‘An Unpopular Pronunciation, _ It is said that the Li in Li Hung Chang’s name is properly pronounced Lee.
