full fellow stood not upon the order
Of his going, but went at once He
reached the gate, and turned to cast
one lingering, longing look behind
when his eyes beheld the mother Of
his charming one coming down the
walk, and thus she spoke hope to
the young mans soul "Now, look
here, you are nice young man, and
are welcome to call at our house as
often as you like. Don't pay any
attention to what that old fool says.
I'll teach him a lesson in bull-dozing
that he won't forget right away, |

came she went, and from the house
arose the sound Of tumult and bull
doing. The young man went away

THE M. T. Church of this City
held their Missionary Anniversary
on last sabbath evening 1t was n
time of marked interest and sue
cess. Mr.. ". II. Curry presided
very efficiently. His opening sd-
dress was Char, chaste and power
full, really doing credit to the occa-
sion. The Hev. Mr.. Lewis gave the
next address In which he illustrated
that the glpry of being is not so
much in its formation as ia its true
development. This speaker evident
ly spent time in careful study of the
principles that should govern society.
He nicely showed how these prin-
ciples should govern us in the Mis-
sionary work, The Rev. Mr.. Cook,
Of Dodgeville, followed with a well
prepared and nicely delivered lect-
ure. His theme was "Thc Nature
and Success Of Christian Missions. ;"
He has the happy faculty of filling
his address with very instructive
facts, and OF giving what are usually
the dry bones OF statistics in q
pleasant manner. The occasion was
made inspiring by the excellent choir
very efficiently singing several choice
anthems. The collection amounted
to S76, which will be largely in
creased by the collectors.
