Mrs. Burns' husband fell a victim to

At prayer service the other evening
Mr. II - "man denounced one of his
elders. r. T. M. Hodgman, a ffrofessor
in the University of Nebraska, declar
ing that views expressed by him at
the meeting were at variance with the
Presbyterian creed and teaching. The
discussion, although spirited, was as
nothing compared with the set-to at
the close of the services, when charges
of considerable bitterness were flung
back and forth.
The charges against Mr. Hindman,
so far as can be learned, are world
liness and lack of proper attention to
pastoral duties, but no specifications
are given.
Motor Cars for Ifrica.
A French automobile company re

Lineage of Presidents.
In a study of American politics
which appeared In a recent number of
the London Chronicle it was pointed
out that out of the twenty five presi
dents of the United States, all but one
have been of British family origin. Fif
teen, headed by Washington, came of
English stock. Three, including James
Monroe, had Scotch ancestors. One,
Thomas Jefferson, Inherited pure
Welsh blood, while five others traced
their lineage to Scotch-Irish ances
try. E. W.- Vaughn, ihe nonagenarian
vicar of the church of Liantiert, in the
vale of Glamorgan, Wales, seems per
fectly in keeping with his surround
ings, as the church he preaches in is
built on grounds which represent the
most ancient Christian center in the
British isles as a daughter of Carac
tacus. mentioned by St. Paul under
the name of Claudia, is said to have
founded a Christian church there
about A. D. 62.

Musical Pigeons of PeKin.
A picturesque feature of the life in
Pekin is the flight of the musical
pigeons overhead the city. The
thrifty Chinese, unwilling to lose their
flocks of pigeons, have Invented small
whistles or sets of pipes, which they
fasten to the tail feathers of their
pigeons before liberating them for ex
ercise. The air rushing through the
pipes makes enough noise to frighten
away hawks, who would otnerw.se
pounce upon the pigeons. The sound
of these "aeolian" pipes Is said to be
extremely musical, . a "sweet, sad
stiain" of harmony.
