This Man Owns a Church
Free to All Worshippers
Unionville, Mo., Aig. 28.--Few men
may claim exclusive owneship to n
church edifice, its furnituie, wuljil,
song books and Bible, but. Pul nan con'i
ty, Mo., has a citizen that tlumn that
distinction. L. P. Davis, a reSdent oi
this city, owns Mount Zion Bnpl-Vit
church, which stands a few m il ‘a rorlh
west of Kirksville, over in Putnam
county. Sentiment i» t' pretty strung
cord in the warp and woof of fife. and
sentiment, it is said, caused Mr. Davis
to buy Mount Zion chuscn.
In 1885 the church was built, a half
mile from the, Davis home, and Mr,
Davis became one of the targe contribu
tors to its support, although lie was not
a member. His wife’s father was nn<
of the deacons and at one time gave
$500 to help the church. The church
flourished for many years and had a
large congregation, but as time passed
the members died or moved away, so
that within the last few years ths
ranks were thinned to a dozen. It was
thought wise to sell the church, since
it could not be supported by the few
remaining. Accordingly the building
was advertised for sals. Then it wrs
that the cord of sentiment yanked at
Mr. Davis’ heart. He did not want to
see the building torn down or removed
an<l he bought it, grounds and all. The
building needed repairs and these were
made. A new roof replaced the old one.

Thirty-Cent Fee
for Tying Knot
Scottsburg. Ind., Aug. 28.—Brides are
now worth 30 cents. This fact was
demonstrated Wednesday evening when
Dr. W. O. Goodloe, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, married a cduple
who are said to belong in Greenwood.
It was getting late in the evening when
two couples came hurrriedly up to the
minister's front gate and asked if he
was the preacher. The man of the first
couple was spokesman and he volunteer
ed the information that the second
couple would like to get ‘‘hitched” in
time to catch the 6 o’clock car for the
north. Dr. Goodloe. with his usual cour
tesy. immediately ‘‘got busy” and com
pleted the job in a few seconds.
After the ceremony the groom asked
what the charge was. When the doctor
gave him the usual explanation about
there being no fixed charge the groom
fished far down into the innermost re
cesses of his pocket and when his hand
emerged it contained a five-cent piece
and a silver quarter, which he handed
to the minister. With only the merest
smile on his countenance. Dr. Goodloe
turned to the blushing bride and hand
ing her the money, said: ‘‘Let this be
your first wedding present.”
The bride was 18 years old and had
been married four years before. The
groom was somewhat older.

That is the new political maneuver of
many a candidate for re-election to con
gress. The new coins had hardly been
out of the mint before the officials be
gan to hear from representatives who
were disappointed when the issue was
suspended.
“What do you care!” asked a treas
ury official. ‘‘The modified design will
get just as many votes.”
“Perhaps,” replied the candidate,
‘Shut 1 want these first ones with the
three initials. They will soon
comparatively rare. Therefore, each
person I present with one will have an
idea that he is getting something like
the 1904 dollar.”
DOES HARRIMAN KNOW?
London. Aug. 28.—Not a single pas
senger’s life was lost upon the rail
wavs of the unite.! kingdom through an
accident to a train in 1908. This is
perhaps the most interesting feature of
a report issued by the board of trade
on the subject of railway accidents for
that year.
I There has been only one previous
year, 1901. in which a similar clean
sheet has been shown, there having
been an annual average of 21 passeu
gers killed during the last decade. The
number of passengers injured during
1908 is also much below the average—
namely: 283 instead of 026.
The" report shows that one passenger
has been killed in proportion to 12,-
500.000 journeys and one passenger in
jured in proportion to 570,049 journey*.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reacn the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way io cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies. I
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed .
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed. ।
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi- •
tion of the mucous surfaces

KING EDWARD MAKES HIT
WITH MAXINE ELLIOTT
Marienbad. Bohemia, Aug. 28. The
social triumph of Miss Maxine Elliott,
the beautiful American actress, has
been the sensation of the season here.
The day after King Edward arrived
he drove in his automobile to the golf
grounds and invited Miss Elliott and
the Honorable Mrs. Albert Petre to
drink tea with him on his private
veranda of the club house. Afterward
thev played croquet with his majesty
and the Honorable Sidney Greville, the
king having Miss Elliott as partner.
Plainly his majesty enjoyed himself
unusually, for he repeated the agree
able entertainment next day.
Dines With King’s Set.
The king seems greatly attracted by
the handsome American. He met her
here last year and since then he has
met her two or three times in London.
One significant result of Miss El
liott’s success is that Mrs. Arthur
James and Mrs. Hall Walker, both be
longing to ‘‘the king’s Set,” repeated
ly ask her to lawn tennis and bridge
parties, to luncheon or dinner. The
Honorable Mrs. Petre gave a dinner
for the king Saturday, Miss Elliott be
ing one of her nine guests. Returning
to London shortly, Miss Elliott will

The king is looking remarkably well
and seems in high goodTiumor now. Rut
at first the offensive attentions of the
crowd on the promenade so infuriated
him that he let it be known through an
eqilerry that ho probably would never
return here. But the manners of the
crowd have so improved that the king
can walk around unmolested, like an
ordinary mortal.
