' AM OLD CHUflCHCHOlR, TH* J*»rf*rntan» That F*wlnoted Juvonite ' Just what benefits accrued to very young persons of an earlier day from compulsory attendance on many ehur/h services it would be bard to determine. Some “ lasting memories,“ at any rate, remained with Edmund Clarence Stedman. of the Norwich Iowa meeting house, to which as a wee boy he trudged in care o f his aunts three times each; “ ?abba’ day»” Those parts of the service and surroundings that stuck in'the childish mind .are amusingly, told in Mr, Stedman’s <fLife end; Letters:” ' ; That choir could be heard in New York—twenty-fi^e men and twenty- five women, trebles, basses, seconds and: altos*—males on one side, fe ­ males oh the other, They sang through their noses. Thera was no doubt that they sang, with their lungs. The wotnen car­ ried the air. Those who fell a lit- 4 tie short in stylo were scored as seo- ‘ onds, The basses sung no uir at all, and the altos soared off by them- ' selves on a high scale of flats., ^ Simon Huntington, the great- /grandson of Washington’s aid-de- camp, was as straight as an' arrow and a fine man. It afforded me the greatest pleasure to'watch his Ad­ am’s apple during his participation in the service. There never was.an Adam’s apple before that had such a wonderful range, It worked up and down like a human pump handle. It was n!: . ways on tithe, It descended so low ? that to dream it would rise.again seemed hopeless. Then when all seemed lost it reappeared, slowly, grandly, with a masterful-steadiness which-left no doubt'.but that it could have gone on rising through - eternity, if so’ it pleased.. ■ The meeting -house had a' round ' dome o f a- sounding- board in the middle o f it. The pews were square, .with seats, as I recall it, round two sides, My. auntS had 'wooden and' - brass foot stoves, and we children Bat rpund on footstools on the floor. Of course we could not see anything when seated., ' At the’ time I went away to col­ lege I am sure that there could not ’ .have been a furnace in the church, fo r at Yale I Tecall my pleasure pnd . interest in the registers from whieh ' the heat rose.- , - ■. - " f ' i\ \ \ - The great breeding, place of ice­ bergs is western Greenland. The mountainous' belt of" Greenland is -everywhere penetrated by deep arm* o f the sea, which reach to the in­ land’ ice and are terminated by per- pendiottiar walls of huge glaciers. - Alb pf -these glaciers. sure making - theljr way to the ocean, and as their ends are forced out into the water they are broken off and 'set adrift as bergs., The sizes of the pieces thus broken off very, bpt a berg 200 . to 250 feet in height-and whose length may tie -from 300 to 5Q0 yards is considered to be of ordi­ nary size in'the arctic* The volume is, df course, lessened as the berg gets farther south. - A Short 8tory. ' ' A tall girl named Short who lived rnowhere in particularjfor long loved a certain big Hr. Little. While Lit- . fie, little thinking of Short, loved a little lass wfio livcd in dn equally healthy place, her name1was Long.. Well, to make a long story short, Little proposed to Long, and this „made Short long to get even with * Little’s shortcoming. So Short, meeting Long, threatened to marry Little before Long. This naturally Caused Little to marry Long before long. . ' Now the question is, Did tall Short love big Little less because Little loved Long? I leave it to you, , * ' Th* Gr**to*t Waterfall* The largest o f earth’s waterfalls is the Victoria falls o f the Zambesi river, in Rhodesia, Africa, They are 38G feet high and more than a mile wide. Niagara’s height-is 160 feet. The water power pf the Zam­ besi falls is estimated to be fully 35,000,000 horsepower, which is five limes greater than that o f Niagara. Some ides of the greatness of the Zambesi cataract may be got from the fact that the aggregate water power o f all Europe cannot greatly exceed 85, 000,000 horsepower, , J W^M.^**^ * *"* inSfilTm c*n*» War Suspicion. “ George, I believe your love for me is growing cold.” “ What has put such a foolish idea a* that Into your pretty head ?” “ J notice that when 1 have one . o f my pouty spells and refuse to kiss you goodby in the morning you don’ t seem to act any more as if the light had gone out of your life or even as if you didn’t expect to find me here on your return.”—Chi­ cago Eeoord»giitldi ' g&anta C lans’ Creasttre J&os * , J, r.

This bouse, by the way, had originally belonged to an eccentric old sea captain, JeremiahSuggsby name, Who was reputed to be something of a miser, and who lived, and died a x;e- cluse.' , ' • . i The crowning -calamity came ,to Philip Draper when the debt was all bpt cleared off. It was then he was overtaken by a wasting lllneSs, which kept him confined to his- bed for al­ most a year,' and leaving him desti­ tute. The' butcher and the baker threatened . to deny him .further .credit, ,'and his homo was heavily mortgaged. The outlook was gloomy. “And tomorrow is; Tbrlstmas/’-ho re­ marked to W&wlfe, with a grimsmile. “Never mind, dear; let. ui holdJ£st tt> bur *courage/' said Mrs..

Suddenly she started up with an anx* lous glance about the room. “I won­ der Where that child can be? I haven’t seen him for at least two hours.” ■'Ob, don't be alarmed.

He'snatctb ed the coin and examined. It critically. “Where did you get this? What does It mean?" *1 found it In the attlui” explained Bobby. ”Tber« are lots more there. Come on, 111 show you where." The next moment the father and mother, each grasping a hand of the frightened youngster, were hastening up the stairs. When they reached the attic the whole astounding truth wad laid bard to them.
