From Czentachowa, the Mecca of Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing story of coincidences. A pilgrim svent to one of the priests and complained that some thief had stolen bis purse while he was in church, and asked for money. The priest replied that he had no money and that the best thing for the pilgrim to do was to try to find the thief.

Albany, Ga., Nov. 15.?On a warrant charging an attempt to murder, sworn out by Mrs. E. F. Jackson, S. H. Tift, a leading member of the Georgia legislature, and one of the wealthiest men in Southern Georgia, was yesterday arrested and placed under heavy bond. Mrs. Jackson is a social leader and first cousin of Tift. She alleges that he came into the room where she and her husband were with his hand in his overcoat pocket, and that after exchanging words with Jackson, Tift drew an automatic revolver and fired. - ' * nvj?,L>_ _1 0?| jacKson strucK mis snuumci oo he fired, and diverted the aim so the charge did not take effect. Servants of the house then rushed in and disarmed Mr. Tift. There are various rumors as to the cause of the trouble, but all the persons involved refused to make any statement. Jackson has not moved against Tift, but Mrs. Jackson says she will prosecute her cousin to the limit. The Tifts are Connecticut people, who made fortunes in Georgia lumber. Their name has been given to one of the new counties recently created by the legislature. A Bouquet from DeCamp.'

The liniments did no good and I took to blood medicines but they did not help me. I took a long trip in hopes that the change of climate might help me. I was away for three months but could see no change for the better. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined to try them, and got a^box at a drug store.

The annual eisteddfod, the national bardic congress, is attended by thousands, who on the great day of festival "chair" the fortunate bard, the winner of the prize. A similar enthusiasm greets the Welsh preacher who is eloquent in speech and practical in expounding the Scriptures. The following story of a Yv'elsh preacher, told in the "Journals of Walter White," illustrates the graphic, simple exposition which conmanded the attention of the congregation: "Noe worked at the ark, driving ni'ic ninmn ninmn. nlumn. The hay uuuu, (fiuu.f, r r, Mr , then came and said: 'Noe, there's good hunting in the woods here, hares and foxes. Leave your work and come and hunt' But Noe kept on hammering, plump, plump, plump. "The haythen came again: 'Noe, there's good beer at the Red Lion. Leave your work and come and drink.' But Noe kept on hammering, plump, plump, plump! And then the rain came, and the flood lifted up the ark and carried Noe away and left the haythen all screaming and squabbling in the water." Hat* Thit Improve With Age. "A silk hat, like wine, improves with age," said a clubman. "The oftener you have it ironed the sleeker and more brilliant it becomes. It costs a good deal at the outset, but in the end it is the cheapest hat to wear. It lasts, you see, so long, and to iron it costs so little. Some folks think the topper very perishable. If It gets soaked with rain, if sonde one sits on it and crushes It into an accordion, they think it must be thrown away the same as if It were a derby. But not at all. A silk hat can be taken apart and put together again like a watch, and if it gets crushed nothing is easier than to melt off the silk, straighten out the frame and then put on the silk again. In England, the home of this hat, I have known men to wear the same topper for ten or twelve years. And the oftener the old hat is ironed the brighter and finer it shines.' Its luster increases with time and friction like the luster of good antique furniture." ' ?Los Angeles Times. Anatomy of a Violin.
