His nose had piety in its straightness

gently trickled as honey from an over

the minister had to 60 to prayer meet

Then l said: For reason which
shall be very glad to explain after the
meeting is over, l must beg to be ex-

''The pastor accepted my declination
gracefully and called upon somebody
else. After the meeting was over l
went up to the minister and said: The
reason l did not accept your kind invi-

For yeneers he considers birch nearly.

Vain of Her Eyes and Lost Them

j
About year ago one Of the most
lovely girls in the state lived at 40
Orange avenue, in this city. A pair of
large, liquid blue eyes set off face
that would put any picture to shame,
and her form was simply perfect. The
young lady was highly educated and
possessed all the qualities that 90 to
make up q society belle. Her parents
are well-to.do and she has wanted for
nothing since she was old enough to
prattle. But she has one fault and that
fault has proved her undoing. II is
called vanity. She fairly worshiped
her own eyes and did everything in her
power to make them more beautiful
than they we're. She used numerous
drugs before she found what she wanted.
This last drug made her eyes sparkle
like diamonds, and she used it to such
an extent that her right eye began to
shrivel. This brought her to her sem
ses and the family physician was called
in. But he came to late, and informed
the poor girl that size must lose one Of
her eyes sure and probably both. Tho
right eye was taken out some time ago
and she has lost all sight in the left and
will be blinded for life. It is one OF the
saddcst cases that was ever brought 10
light in this ciiy.-Los angeles Times.

NJ. PAUL BoURGET's remark that mo

other man p.eases the women" is aptly
applied to Prado, the French criminal,
who is described by one who was near
him for about an hour in the court as a
man of the vulgarest possible aspect,
who reveals alike in voice and feature
the lowest type of blackguardism, yet
he did not find it at all difficulty to
marry, to ruin, and to cut the threats
of young, and in every case, beautiful
women.

ONE of the radical differences be-
tween mems and women's clubs is that
women can never associate themselves
together without trying to improve
something or somebody. If no other
subject offers itself they will undertake
to improve themselves, and go through
tedious courses of lectures or readings
or which they have no taste. A club
where there is no definite object to be
striven for all the time, but where
there are warm, comfortable rooms,
where one may go, and invite ones
own soul or friend to loaf; where one
may read, or write letters, or send tele-
grams; where something palatable may
be had to eat-the idea of such club
rs that does not seem to commend it
self to women. The women's clubs
throughout the country are merely
charitable organizations. AS such they
accomplish much good, but as social
institutions they are distinct failure.
