been spending a few days at one of ihd Maine coast resorts came to Ban gor this week and in conversation with a friend in a hotel cafe here re marked that he had enjoyed his visit to the shore but that he had not found lobsters ac plentiful there as ho had expected Lobsters Why thats queer re sponded the Bangor man Why the woods are full of them so to speak Come down to my place at Hancock Point and 111 give you your fill of them Many down there queried the Westerner Many The Bangor man regarded his questioner with surprise reply ing Why man lobsters en thick down there that theyve got to be a nuisance Have to go out morn ings and sweep them off the paths even climb up on the porch Beastly nuisance when you dont care for them you know The man from the West looked dazed but promised to accompany the Bangorean to Hancock Point next day there to help repel the invasion of lobsters The Bangor man went to the telegraph office and sent this mes sage to his wife at Hancock Point Buy all the lobsters within ten miles and scatter them about the lawn paths and porches Next day when the joker and his Mis Dignity and Hat A gale was howling across the square when a large portly man came around the corner He was erect and nis rotund figure had a military poise an air of dignity which was imposing Suddenly a wild gust seized his shining hat and whirled it off It shot up into the air and described circles in the manner of M Santos Dumonts airship Then it flew across the street and fell into a puddle of muddy water The dignified citizen gazed at the flight of his hat in a bewildered fash ion When it fell to the ground he cantered gently after it As he neared it he bent eagerly forward His hand almost touched the precious tile when swoop came another gust and snatch ed the unfortunate hat which went rolling off churning the muddy waters of the gutter like the screw of a Eteamer The owner of the hat looked wrath fully after it and then started in pur suit on a mad gallop Swiftly along the square rolled the hat Suddenly in the midst of his swift course the pursuer stepped on a piece of orange I never was one to talk against my neighbors said Miss Dosia Ann Pine who had dropped in by the back way to borrow a cupful of brown sugar from Mrs Judge Tubman but I cant help thinkin that Deacon Gustus Stang is a little mite too hasty and sarcastic in expressin himself for a man of his position and professions Why yesterday afternoon I was right there myself passin the time o day with Mis Stang and saw it all a stand of his bees swarmed and lodged on a limb of the ox heart cherry tree on top of the upper off set The Deacon went to work to hive em first gettin on an up ended barrel and reachin up and cuttin off the limb with the bees all bunched up on it At that very instant if youll believe me the head of the barrel caved in and over it whopped and fell offm the off set with the Deacon inside and went rollin and bouncin down the long stone steps and slammed against the hitchin post at the foot of the stairs with a crash that busted the THE ANCIENT COPTIC FAITH Egypt Now the Center of This Form of Worship In Westminster abbey after the coronation of King Edward a silver votive cross was left by the Abys sinian envoy Ras Makonnen It rep resents the faith of the Coptic church the most debased in Christendom Egypt is the center of this faith the patriarch of Alexandria as he is called living at Cairo Not even the priests understand the language of the services essentially the same as that used by the Pharaohs with a mixture of the tongue of Homer In its ritual is found an admixture of ancient Egyptian and Jewish cere monial together with that of primitive Christianity Here ordination is con ferred not by the laying on of hands but by breathing and the universal kiss is interchanged among the con gregation Children may act as dea cons and may receive the sacrament bread dipped in wine In Abyssinia the Jewish and Egyptian ritual is car ried still further to excess The ark is the center of worship which in cludes dancing The Jewish Sabbath is observed Distinction is drawn be tween clean and unclean animals Polygamy also has lingered on So extreme is their belief in external rites to wash away sin that the great est festival of the year amounts to an annual baptism of the whole na tion They have even canonized Pilate because he washed his hands and said I am innocent of the blood of this just Man guest arrived at the cottage the whole place had been planted with green and squirming crustaceans and the fun began the minute they entered the walk The Bangor man kicked some thing out of his path Whats that asked the guest Oh thats one of those confounded lobsters was the calm reply A little further on more lobsters wriggled over the walk and the cottager de clared in disgusted tones that it was pretty tough when a man couldnt get into his own house without climbing over a lot of slimy lobsters The Westerners eyes started from their sockets but when he got to the vine covered porch entrance he nearly fainted Two enormous lobsters were cling ing by their claws to the trellis and grabbing one of them the host marked Theyll be in my bedroom next -here this one will make a good broil for you The big lobster was broiled and the man from Minneapolis ate it with keen delight Next day he ate others and when he got back to Bangor he declared solemnly I never would have believed it had I not seen them with my own eyes Bangor Maine Correspondence You may reform a man but never a woman Were Both in Collapse peel grasped wildly at the air and fell with a despairing splash Shorn of all his dignity the unhappy man slowly rose looked around to see if he was observed then carefully examined his injured raiment From collar to waist his frock coat had split Twenty yards ahead peacefully reposing by the curbstone lay the in nocent cause of all his misfortunes With an air of grim determination he strode toward it The hat remained coyly resting on the edge of a puddle The portly person gazed down at the water logged mud covered tile and then at his own ruined raiment Just then as if inspired by a de mon of mischief the hat began to sway with a passing gust This was too much Gathering himself to gether the fat man made a mighty leap and landed both feet squarely on the hat He peered anxiously around to see if he was observed and then turning up his coat collar strode away leaving the fragments of what had once been a silk hat reposing in the gutter The Scotsman Incident Too Much For Deacons Temper barrel all to staves and wrung a great groan from the Deacon and left him pretty near wrapped around the with the infuriated bees a stabbin at him like Hi Price was drivin by with his tin peddlers cart and blind horse and he stopped and called out as was natural Land o Goshen Deacon Gustus Are you hurt No contrive ye roared the Dea con as snappish Ill be bound as an alligator No I aint This is the way I laugh Im tickled gol rammed near to death over the joke Ive just played on the bees Of course he had a good deal of provocation looking at it in some ways but I contend

dexterity Another colored boy sits alongside the driver wielding an enormously long whip which instru ment he manages as deftly as a first rate fly fisher does his rod and cast ing line Nevertheless these Cape boys are reckless folk much addicted to drink and inordinately vain of their performances as Jehus It is the fash ion with them to start away from and make the approach to the village inns or baiting places where they make their halts at a hard gallop In this way owing to the drivers drinking habits and the ordinary risks of bad roads accidents often happen th6 cart and its passengers

For the year 1901 only fifteen per sons in all Great Britain paid tax on ncomes exceeding 250000 and the grand total of these fifteen Incomes was 7500000 As the income tax assessors make heir inquest for large incomes very searching the interesting fact Is estab lished that the fifteen richest Britons arc worth 187500000 This assumes that their aggregato wealth yields them 4 per cent per annum Taero are at least two American cit izens John D Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie each of whom is worth more than the fifteen richest British subjects combined And there are scores of American oitlzcns whoso in comes exceed the 500000 a year which Is the average income of the Britains first fifteen The conclusion must not be jumped at that because of this tendency wealth is more evenly distributed in Britain than here It sounds epigrammatic to say that millionaires and tramps mul tiply together but it is not true There are fewer millionaires and at the same time more paupers in John Bulls is
