good story, aud is willing to wager an

true: During the war, and for several
years afterward the Southern darkey
could talk about little else than "manci.
patton" and religion. A Methodist
darkey and Baptist darkey would get to-
gether on the shady side Of house or
tree and argue for hours. An old
Chattahoochie River owned number of
negroes, and one cold day when they
were log rolling and clearing up a piece
of new ground they began to discuss re-
igion. The planter was a second edition
of Bob Ingersoll and became tired of tho
discussion. He polled the men as to
their religious beliefs and found IL Bap-
lists and Q Methodists.
"Now, he said, II am tired Of this
continual arguing, and as the Baptists
are in the majority the rest Of you must
go down into the water, and he ordered
them into the river. They unwillingly
filed into the river up to their necks, and
as they stood with chattering teeth tho
old man would yell out:
. Are you Methodist or Baptisti"
The freezing water soon brought tho
Methodists to the Baptist belief, and as
the last convert walked on shore the
planter remaked that he hoped IL would
be long time before it would be neces.

Put TO Flight by Three Big Americans.
Probably the most famous fat man in
the city is DIR. William N. McVickar, of
Holy Trinity church, about whom a score
of good stories are told. When in Europe
some years ago with DIR. Phillips Brooks
and Henry Hudson Richardson, the
world famous architect of Boston, he at
tended a lecture on America and Amer.
icans," at Sheffield. The Americans
separated, each occupying different part
Of the house. Toward the close Of his
address the lecturer remarked that dur.
ing his travels in this country he had met
none but small men. Nor had he seen
an American over five feet eight inches
in height. DIR. Brooks, who is unusually
tall, arose at this juncture and said that
he had listened to the lecture with much
pleasure, but could not refrain from cor
recting the speaker as to the size of
Americans. After asserting that he was
considerably over six feet, he asked if
there were any other Americans in the
hall, whereupon ponderous Dr. McYickar
arose and remarked that he was an
American, and quite bit of one, too.
DIR. Brooks called for another American,
and Architect Richardson responded with
the modest statement that he was just
six feet two inches in height and weighed
275 pounds. The lecturer fed.-PhiIa-

Women skilled in drawing and painting
can afford their friends much pleasure by
decorating eggs with original designs. A
lovely gift last year was made by covering
a shell with bronze paint, on which was a
spray of flowers in oils. A cream-colored
egg with a landscape sketched with
lead pencil or done with a fine drawing
pen IN India ink-the landscape
framed with spray of flow
ers-is pretty gift, especially if
the landscape awakens any memory in the
recipient. Easter eggs, which may be
kept to ornament the Christmas tree, and
are nice gifts for little girls, can ne deco
rated, after coloring, with fri.l of lace.
Gather piece of clear, open lace at the
top and bottom, leaving little frill at the
top, and cover the egg with it. Finish the
bottom with silk tassel of the same
color. But before putting on the envelope
fasten across the egg-shell. lengthwise. a
narrow ribbon OF the same color and finish
at the top with loop and ends. Draw
the frill of the lace closely around the loop
and ends, and, if you desire to make it
still more ornamental, sew few tiny arti-
fetal flowers among the lace.

The following is an old story but will
bear occasional telling: There are various
sorts OF punishment, and, when a gentle
man tries to be funny in some disgraceful
way, he is apt to receive his just dues in
the way of personal modification, says
the Youths Companion. Lord Charles
Beresford and Gerald Coke, two we'll
known society men in London, were TAX
ing walk together, when little crossing
sweep asked them "for tuppence
NO." said Lord Charles, grufily, "I'll
not give you penny"
Then a bright idea occurred to him, and
he added: "You see that constable yon-
der? Well, if you'll go and mop your
broom up and down his back, I'll give you
half a crown"
The boy rushed away, promptly per-
formed the act, and was promptly ar
rested.
Lord Charles, his conscience pricking
him, wen: over to demonstrate with the
officer. and was himself taken in charge.
Mr.. Coke then attempted to throw in
few dissuading words.
"Ahaw quoth the officer. $50 you
want to interfere, do you'll Well, fancy
l shall have to run you in, too"
So the three culprits were conducted
away to the police station. The inspector
in charge there gazed at them austerely.
80 you've been interfering with the
constable?" he said, with solemnity. "a
serious charge; very serious charge!
Now tell me. sir, what Is your nameW
"Gerald Coxe," answered the gentle
man addressed.
Now this name was perfectly well known
to the inspector, and it seemed to him ex-
traordinarily funny that it should be
claimed by man who would take the
part of a crossing-sweep.
ooh, you're Gerald Coke, are you?" said
he, sarcastically. Eyes, you look like
Gerald Coke Very good Capital And
who are you, sir?
"Lord Charles Beresford,". answered
that gentleman.
This, in the mind of the inspector, deep.
ened and complicated the joke.

chuckled, grimly. "Well, this is splendid

SEX IN BUSINESS.
True Woman Can bo womnnIy Under the
Most Trying situations.

In an excellent article in the New York
Uorid on Sex in Business" Edith Ses-
sions Upper says At the same time il
is not necessary for the business woman
to become a mannish woman. There is
at present a tendency towards masculinity
perceplible even among society women.
The modern girl apes her brothers in cos
tune, talk, slang and adopts many of his
habits. Doubtless there il strong temp
tation TO working women 10 copy the
tricks, conversation and airs Of the men
with whom she is constantly associating.
Against this temptation every true woman
will battle. A woman can be womanly
under the most trying situations of life.
There is absolutely no necessity for her to
be otherwise in any branch of work. She
may be ~ brave. sell.reliant and self
possessed as possible and yet womany,
not efieminate. whining over defeat, sniv-
cling over m abrupt word or deeply out
ragged because n man keeps his hat on in
her presence.
There is large class Of women bread.
winners whose occupation takes them
only occasionally into Offices. IL il well
for such workers 90 bear constantly i'm
mind the value of time to business man.
The woman of discrimination and good
sense will state her business, get her
answer and leave. She will understand
that il is not n season i'm which to discuss
politics, religion, crops or 10 give n com
plete history OF her life from the Grad TO
the grave, with an appendix. Her hopes,
aims and ambitions also she will touch
lightly upon. As rule q comparative
stranger cares very little about ones
aspirations.
There is vast deal OF rubbish written
and talked about concerning the insults"
n working woman receives. This is
usually tho iigment Of some prolific
writer's brain. The sef-respecting woman
who behaves with propriety, who does not
go around Sinking, ogling and grinning
like Cheshire cat, is not going TO be very
badly insulted.
The question OF dress for business
woman is being agitated somewhat. The
advice OF one of the most prominent bust
ness women in town Is worth repeating:
DRESS 80 the men with whom you come
In contact cannot remember what you
wear" The Office or shop is not the place
for diamonds, laces, silks and furbelows
A quiet cloth gown, without orna-
ments or frills is the most sem
sible OF nil costumes. Everything
should be scrupulously neat and tidy.
Prayed collars. soiled gloves and dis
reputable shoes should not be tolerated.
There is policy in being we'll, correctly
and timely dressed Business women
should avoid aesthetic costumes in the of
fee. Cleopatra, Delsartan or classic robes
have no place in the business world.
Limp, loose draperies are quite as out of
gear in Office or shop as clawhammers and
white ties"
Women. by their actions, manners, con-
versation and dress in business are the
ones who alone can uphold the dignity
and enhance the value of women's work.
The sister who shrieks on platform can
not accomplish as much as tho quiet,
steady, industrious, painstaking worker in
Office or shop.

MRS. WILL CARLETON.
Pen Picture of the Wife of tho Poet-Her
Interest in Children


Mrs. Will Carleton has just gone south
with her husband on me of his lecture
tours, says an exchange. Mrs. Carleton
has many admirers who declare her to be
one of the loveliest women in all Brook
Ign. Both are distinguished for their
plain, quiet, transformations manner of liv-
ing Their unelaborate home on Green
ave. is known for its hospitality and kind
ness to strangers. Mrs. Carleton is never
so happy as when entertaining children.
When she was president of the Stevens
home and city mission band she would
often entertain twenty or more children
under fourteen in such a really jolly way
that they were always glad to go again.
She is interested in several important
charities now before the public attention.
Though she does not write herself she en-
courages her famous husband in
many ways. helping him by her
practical advice and ready compre-
hension. Saws one who knows them
vel: Though so long married they are
like two lovers" There are several stud
les which they pursue together. They
have travelled extensively together, hav-
ing been abroad three or four times. Be
fore she was married she spent seven
wears in Birmah as foreign missionary.
1t was on one of her trips abroad that she
met Mr.. Carleton, both happening to 90
and return on the same steamer. Since
this work in the mission field she reads
and studies to help the cause along. She
has many friends among the missionaries,
from whom she receives direct informa-
ton. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carleton are
Massachusetts people. Both are liberal in
their religious views. When in Brooklyn
they attend the Westinghouse. baptist
church. in their home are found many
souvenirs of their travel One Of their Gu
riOsities is an ivory model of the leaning
tower of Pisa. Mrs. Carleton is a plain, in
tellectual looking woman with q very
sweet impression that wins every one
in her favor. She wears her hair in
the somewhat old-fashioned style OF little
curls round her forehead. She dresses
with great simplicity. They have no fads,
but are distinguished in their neighbor-
hood and among their acquaintance for
being a sensible, kind-hearted modest
couple. She would not be woman il she
did not enjoy her husbands success, but
any talk OF his literary work in his pres
ence is very disagreeable to him. He
never recites any OF his productions for
his own benefit or the pleasure of a small
circle, but when by so doing he can in
crease the fund Of some worthy object,
then he is both ready and willing. On his
return from the South he is to give a
lecture in Brooklyn in the Young Mems
Christian association rooms. Often on
such occasions his wife's sweet face can be
singled out in the audience, attentive to
all he saws.
