HANGING GROVE.

J. R. Phillips was in Rensselaer Monday on the Erb ditch business. Robert Drake is nursing a game knee, the result of a kick from a young cow'. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Josserand and family, of Reynolds, spent Christmas with Clyde Randle and family. R. C. McDonald taught school at McCoysburg last week and up until Wednesday of this week in the absence of the regular teacher, Miss Olive Cole. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Miller have gone to Kewanna for a few days’ visit with relatives. Oscar Williamson is doing their chores while they are away. Chas. Bussell has been suffering quite a lot in the past four or five weeks from rheumatism. The part mostly affected has been his right shoulder. Only those that have rheumatism^ can sympathize with a sufferer. * All of the teachers left Tuesday evening to spend Christmas at other places. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. McDonald left Tuesday evening on the milk train to spend Christmas with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. O. McDonald, east of Monticello. A post card received from Gifford Marrs Tuesday morning, stated he had reached Bloomington, 111., Sunday night about 9:30 o’clock, safely, but he found the Illinois road too rough for motorcycling and he stored his machine and went by rail the balance of the way home. Frank D. Murray, of Gillam, loaded his household goods at the Grove Tuesday to be shipped to West 'plains, Mo., where he has rented a farm. Perhaps after one year’s farming he may invest in land there. At present while the goods are on the road, Mr. Murray and family are visiting relatives at New Waverly, Cass county. George Parker and family, Chas. Bussell and family and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Parker and James Letter took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Royal Bussell Christmas day. There, were eighteen present for dinner and the reunion would have been complete except for Mrs.' Letter, who remained in Wisconsin. The wolves have been playing havoc among poultry, sheep, pigs, etc., in this community this last year. Especially do they seem to have a pick at Chas. Bussell’s flock of wild geese. Beginning early in the fall and up to this time the w r olves have killed twenty geese. It has .been necessary to hang a lantern in the lot at night to protect the balance of the flock. Christmas was well observed almost everywhere this year. Being sutih lovely weather made it possible for families to assemble together and enjoy a sort of family reunion. Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson and son, Dan, of Bluffton, and Mrs. Geo. Robinson, of Rensselaer, came Saturday evening to spend Christmas and visit J. R. Phillips and family. Scott Robinson came Sunday evening from Washington, and Sam Robinson and wife, of Morocco, and daughter, Mrs. Harve J. Robinson, of Rensselaer, came, over by automobile Wednesday afternoon. This was the first time for twenty years that Aunt Mary Robinson and her four children have all been together at the same time. It was a very happy meeting, indeed. Sam Robinson, who is a mail carrier at Morocco, made his route Wednesday morning by automobile in one hour and forty-five minutes, -in order that he might be at the gathering.

The Pastoral Zoo.

(Contributed by Wm. E. Barton.) Some time ago an Episcopal rector in Delaware printed in his church paper a short article entitled “Pastoral Perplexities.” His perplexities were zoological . He hardly, knew how to classify his flock with reference to his duties as pastor. I had a letter some time ago asking if I had seen’that article, and if so, whether I would either print or mail it. I did not have it then and have forgotten who it was who wanted it; but now it comes to my hand, and I will append it to this present article. It is very interesting to note how men have claimed kinship with animals. They have not been content to pet them, but have made themselves blood relations. This fact lies at the basis of several important sciences, and has its bearing upon religion. We know, for instance, that the animal worship of Egypt was not wholly what we would call worship. The men who bowed dowm to bulls and eats and bugs did not merely worship the veritable bodies and souls of particular bulls and cats and bugs, but expressed in part their sense of kinship. Totemism. Totemism seems to have entered in some measure into many kinds of faith and to have left survivals in various forms of sacrifice. The man who could redeem his own life by substituting a sheep, established in the act, or recognized a relation already existing by which there obtained some element of sympathy and possibly of kinship. This was not always so, for sacrifices were very various; but it w r as partly so. The science of heraldry is a sort of middle-age totemism. The family that chose as its crest the head of a boar, or the rampant form of a lion, did, in its own way, what the Alaska Indian did in his when he erected the totem pole before his Jiut. Nations do the same. The American eagle, the Russian bear, the British lion, the French cock, are all more or less tdtemistic.

Political Menagerie. In politics we always have a zoo. The Democratic donkey, the Republican elephant and the Prohibition camel arc more or less stable figures. But besides these we have the more evanescent? types, as the hound dog, and the bull moose. Mascots represent a form of totemism. A college that will howl itself mad over a goat or a yellow dog is not so lacking in civilization as it seems. The boys have simply not outgrown their primitive worship of dumb beasts. The article of which I spoke is not totemistic. The author is giving no academic address on the origins and relations of the species. He is merely telling about his zoo. And the zoo is so common in respectable circles, in heralry, in art, in studies affected by the first families, in politics and even in religion, that there may just possibly be some readers who will be glad to read the following, which, I believe, appeared in the Delaware Churchman, though it comes t;o me typewritten, and not credited to anybody. I do not know the author; I only know that it was not I. Pastoral Perplexities.

“I am a shepherd of a little parochial flock. I have tended other flocks, both as under shepherd in a city and as ruling shepherd in a town; but never before have I known one containing so many heterogenous elements as the one I have at present. Years ago I had lessons in pastoral care. No man ever undertook pastoral work with better theories of sheep-culture than I. In fact, in all ordinary dealings with sheep and goats, I believe I can do as well as the next man. “I know their nature, their habits, .their needs, and have learned to Adapt myself to all conventional idiosyncrasies; I can do any thing that is according to rule. I have all the latest novelties of an institu-tional-fold, every organization intended to benefit the various members of a normal flock, a Little Lambs’ Lullaby Library, a Young Rams’ and He-Goats’ Association and Auxiliary for Aged Ewes, a Guild fftr Giddy „Goats, a EweFrifindlv Society, a Butt6rs* K iv% XII f_7 O X 1 IOiIVAXT Wv V* Vi vj yu Brigade and a flourishing chapter of the Brotherhood of Belwethers. All this sort of thing I understand perfectly well. I have my sheep and goats classified and organized; and they all fit in well into the orderly system of my fold. “But what puzzles me is to apply even the most approved principles of sheep-culture to the care of animals which are not Sheep. For a long time I was distressed at my inability to deal Successfully with some strange creatures I found in my fold, which were all legs and were always kicking. I tried every method known to the science of pastoral theology for dealing with erratic sheep or refractory goats; but my efforts led to no satisfactory result. My amazement at fny inexplicable failure was quite as great as my sorrow. At last it dawned on my dazed mind that I was not dealing with sheep, but with kangaroos. Now what is a shepherd to do with the kangaroos of a flock? There is perplexity Number L “Then again in my dealings with ewes, I have found creatures which spit and scratch in a most unewelike fashion. What is a shepherd

OFFICIALS HAVE SPIRITED DISPUTE

Marshall, Sheriff, Mayor and City Attorney Take Opposite Views in Small Matter. A few days ago Nightwatch Critser arrested a man who was very drunk anji who is said to have been creating a disturbance in the poolroom. He was taken to jail in a very intoxicated condition. I little while later the sheriff, released the prisoner on the pledge, of a friend to see that he w'ent home and caused no trouble and that he w'ould come back to stand trial any time he was wanted. The sheriff went to the nightwatch to explain what he had done and Marshall Mustard and he engaged in a dispute that almost' ended in a fight, the nightwatch having to keep the men apart. Later the sheriff went to Attorney Leopold for legal advice. Mr. Leopold is city attorney. Marshal Mustard laid the matter before Mayor Meyers and the mayor took the position that the paid attorney of the city should represent the city officials and not accept employment against the city. Another dispute of some magnitude arose, but the officials were not very near fighting, although there was some anger in their tones. The Republican believes that the motives of all the parties was good, although some one evidently was wrong. That the man should have been arrested there is no doubt. That his friends sought to procure his release is natural. That the sheriff wanted to please them is diplomatic. That the marshal was displeased is not surprising. That the sheriff went to the city attorney for advice instead of going to the county attorney looks a little funny. That the city attorney accepted him as a client looks wrong. That the mayor took • umbrage is not surprising. The line should be so clearly drawn as to who is to act as the adviser of county and city officials that disputes of this nature could not occur. And the law should make it plain whom the city officials can put in the county jail and what right the sheriff has to release prisoners without bail.

to do with the cats of his flock? There is perplexity No. 2, more than doubly distressing than the other. A Shepherd may be expected to manage sheep; but is it fair to expect that he can do equally well with cats, kangaroos, fowls of the air and creeping things? The pastoral virtues of a David count for little; a man needs the versatility of a Noah. I have been tempted to inseis/ a new clause in the Litany to the effect that my parish may be delivered “from all kickings of kangaroos and cantankeroUsnesS of eats,” for how can a vestry composed of the one and a sewing society composed of the other continue to exist? What can be done about it? There they are in the fold, and I must deal with them. Is it possible to use their special qualities in some positive sort of way? Is the native impulses of the kangaroos susceptible of right direction? Can the undeniable force of' his constitutional Protestantism be utilized in agitations for true reform? Ideally considered, what is the ethical value of unlimbered hind-leg? After long and painful effort, I have seemed sometimes to find that kangaroos are really very effective in projects requiring rapid advance in several directions at once. The method of concentration by diffusion would not seem to promise great results; but it has its uses under peculiar circumstances, and circumstances very <j£ten are peculiar. I ipust, however, humbly own that I have never, solved the cat problem,Xfche promotion of felicitious felinity. I can #ee no possible use for cats in a sheep-fold, unless it be for the work of mutual extermination. They can be tolerated so long as any other species remain to be killed off. If they can be induced to confine their attention to each other, the peace-loving are spared, while they themselves receive appropriate punishment. At any rate, the problem, both ontologically and practically considered, seems to defy all other efforts at solution. perience is unique; and whether I might not gain assistance from the suggestions of some brothershepherd, or from the wise guidance of one of those over-shepherds who have oversight of many folds. If by chance this should meet the eye of any specialist trained in ecclesiastical zoos, I should welcome suggestions as to methods us promoting the non-survival 'S of cats most given to fits!”

A delegation of Indians, several of its members in picturesque dress, called upon President Taft at the White House Wednesday. One of the older chiefs made a long speech, which the interpreter could not repeat. The chief then said in English, “He doesn’t get me.” A petition for a receiver for the United Boxboard company was filed in the federal court at Indianapolis Wednesday by the Equitable TrUst company of New York.
