From the Fen of tfie Rev. H. P. Jackson, U. P. CHURCH HISTORY Continued By Rev, Ross in the Next Let­ ter-Smith Buck and His Dog Create Some Excitement in Prayer Meeting “Rtv. Marion Morrison once told the following incident; He ’ 'was .>preaching at Qedarville and holding cointuunion, Ou Saturday after Ser­ vicea stranger applied to the session for money to aid bint in, getting his- wife and children to tbiacouutry from Ireland, Judge Samuel’Ryle, a mem­ ber of the Session, looked him over — "sized him up”—and being suspicious that the stranger believed in the authority of the Pope,' concluded to put him .through the catechism. So the Judge said, - ■ . ‘Wha^ church do you belong to?’ ‘I am a Presbyterian,’quickly came &reply, . 'j IWhat is the chief end of man?’ „the Judge, to .which -the Irish- answered about right, low many sacratnents are there?’ ^faickly asked the Judge. ■ ’Seven’-fiaid the man promptly. 'Ah!'- said the Judge, Iyou are a Oatholic, and wewill not give you any money,*. The man made a l>eeline for the street. I t wash sharp turd to take ou the stranger, but in three questions the Judge settled his case.” $ * aft m * * "A long time ago an old negro, grayhaired and decrepit, whom every­ body called “ Uncle Ben”, was sexton orjanitor. He had beenji slave in Virginia, and had his tote frozen off, caused by the cruelty of ids master, and being tall and slender* and maim­ ed in this way, he walked in a stiff, jerkymanner. Another misfortune was his, hestuttered in talking. He how­ ever magnified his office. He seemed ■tothink he was a ruler in the church find exercised authority there, espec­ ially over the younger part of the con gregatkm. One day he pulled the rope toohard and turned the bell up which Wt the rope slip off the wheel. The osly way to right it was to go up He being, so crippled, oonld not 'ven­ ters into the belfry, and sent up some; boys 12 or 14 years of age. They righted the bell and-replaced the rope. Then they concluded to tty it and be tors all was fight. They rang and tong, while "tlriele Ben*' hurried into She front yard of the church and •hosted or tried to shout to the boys, (they could not of course hear, bring: toaeartbe bell) and jumped around “a chicken with its head off” and dtouted; ‘Ht-t-t t f*opdat!

He approved .evidently of the proceedings till Smith called on an old-Methodist" man* who sat back near the, door to pray, The old man’s lung power was equal ton small steam engine. He kneeled in the aisle and laying his hand on the end o f the pew, began.in a moderate tone of voice,but soonbegan to “warm up.” The dog being conservative in his notions,'’concluded that thunder tones in a U.-P j > church was disorderly, and out of place. So he proceeded to enter his protest in a most earnest manner, He raised his head from the earpet and listened intently for a moment to be sure that he was right in his suspicious, then arose and with frowning countenance and raised bria- ties rushed dqwu the aisle, saying, (in dog language) “Stop! Stop! Stop!” But the old man did uot seem to hear the dog, though he stood very, near and sent forth his fierce barkslu loud and quick succession, until Buck had to go and call the dog off This ludi­ crous performance banished about all the devotional feelings from the minds of.theyouug people for the remain­ der of the evening, and they -over afterward remembered more of the little dog’s capers than the old man’s prayer.” 4 The next article will take np the history where it was dropped to gather up the fugitive items. ' „ Cushion Tn Italian "Cut Wnrk.” Italian' “cut work” embroidery, similar to that in vogue in the four­ teenth and fifteenth centuries, to­ gether with the fine linen thread lace of the same period, was con­ spicuous in a recent exhibit of art embroidery. The Work is done on linen and ia remarkable for the clev­ er adaptation of the geometrical chv ele and square in its designs. The “buttonhole,” the raised “satin’*and tu b * then the “weaver’s” or fdarning” stitch­ es are those most commonly used. The laea is imported and very mnch resembles the Maltese lace in .char­ acter. A pretty sofa cushion is made of two squares of linen (14 by 14 inches), ornamented at the four corr era on either side, with a de­ sign in “cut work” embroidery; a broad insertion of lace unites the two squares, the handsome crimson brocade of the cushion being reveal­ ed through the lace.

Some very fine pieces of the renaissance are stili to he found in which there are noticeably few of the rings which made that lace SOheavy. The Austrian handmade lace, known as crepon, ha* almost completely usurped its place. There are also some centerpieces decorated with white Irish embroidery and Some made of Chinese grass linen, embroidered in the rose, dragon and dhem- blossom designs that have long been familiar on fans and- other trophies of the orient. Borne of the grass linen pieces hate the white ground, with blue or white embroidery of white. There are scarf* as well as centerpieces in these importations. flagrant Dried Uavs* for Ineortmfa.

' On the stroke of'four last Tuesday afternoon, were spoken the solemn vows that united the live* of Mr. Lewis Hibbard Snllenberger and Miss Bertha Lorene.,Young, daughter of ^Mrs, Jennie Young. Dr. Theories, former pastor of the Oxford Metho diet church, was the officiating clergy­ man. Miss Myra Wylie played the wedding march during the proces­ sional and the ceremony, and the bri­ dal couple stood before a pyramid of rich' green and white. The wedding gown was of Paris mousseiine and Valenciennes and the bride curried Bible roses. After the congratulations of the guests. had been" offered, delicate re­ freshments-were served from the table in the dining room, beautiful in the freshness "of stuilax and ctiiflaliuns. The whole house was a bower in green and white. The regards and interest of the hundred guests was manifest in beau­ tiful gifts on view in an upper room.

An interesting little bit of history ia connexion with the Springfield* Xenia road has come to light, I t ap­ pears that John P.. Martin, who orig­ inated the idea and procured the Iran- t iaes, literally hoo dooed his backers into believing* that he had a peach of » franchise in Springfield, whereas the franchise which this road in reality enjoys here has so many strings tied to it that when the real facts became known, Mendelbaum & -Company would hardly look at it. On the authority of a man who was dose to the Cleveland end o fthe proposition, the man who put y p m \ money for these bonds were careless about look­ ing into the merits of the Springfiel 1 franchise and knew but very little about the conditions Until after the deal was actually financed, Then there was a storm *nd the result was that Martirt severed his counecriott with the company and went to Flor­ ida,—Springfield Sun* A telephone message from Xenia this morning states that County Com­ missioner Lewis Smith is still very- low and that his death is but a ques­ tion of a day or so.
