The Long PRAYER Cut Short.

Many men still comparatively young
will remember the terrors of the long
prayer" in the Presbyterian churches
of twenty-five or thirty years ago 1t
seemed to be a matter of personal pride
with the old style Presbyterian clergy
man to pray as long as he could, and
frequently the prayer was longer than
the sermon.
a prayer of thirty minutes was ex-
tremely common. and not infrequently
the supplication extended to forty or
forty-five minutes, and when it was
ended no one in the audience could
think of a single item in the list of hu-
man needs that had not been mentioned
and asked for, The long prayer is a
thing of the past, however, for the ten
dency among Presbyterian clergymen
is to shorten this part of the service,
and now, if a preacher prays for more
than ten minutes, his congregation
show unmistakable signs of WEAKNESS.

why they are worthy the power placed
In their hands. and how hard many Of
them have worked to reach the high

Jules Guthridge. now in charge Of the
New York Herald bureau, has come up
TO this dignity in ten years. A country
boy, like most Of the Washington cor
respondents. he came here in 1883 as
assistant on the Chicago Times staff.
Three years service as correspondent OF
the Chicago News was followed by a
connection with the New York Herald
bureau. and few months ago he was
promoted to be chief Of The Herald's
staff The Herald has always made a
speciality of Washington news. 1t has
always spent and continues to spend
more moneyin procuring news here than
any other paper. In the winter it has
from four to six men in its service. and
it pays the highest prices for news which
any one may have to SELL Guthridge

respects the best man The Herald ever

ISuying "A Goddess.

Up at the Grand Central depot the other

seat beside him was waiting for his train.

the pair were soon chatting away as men
will under like circumstances. By and by
No. took up one Of his parcels and said:
'Pd like your judgment on this pur-

my Daring.
These endearing words, in bright
golden letters, stood out in bold relief
on the dashboard of huge four horse
truck in a Broadway blockade of We
hicles. They aroused tender memories.
The driver looked as unsentimental as
possible in his coarse raiment and with
his rough manners, but he was not pro-
fame or brutal toward his horses. Pa
tiently he awaited the loosening of the
jam, while his neighbors filed the air
with curses. Finally, his horses becom-
ing FESTIVE, he climbed down from his
box and soothed them with gentle
words and caresses Then bystander
asked why he called his truck MY
Darling"
Why" he said, because it keeps
green the memory of my daughter, lit
tie Nellie. She's dead now, but before
she joined the angels she clasped her
hands around my neck and said
Papa, I'm going to die, and want
you to promise me one thing, because
it will make me so happy. Will you
promiseT
Yes, l said; IN promise anything.
What is it,
''Then, fixing her eyes upon mine,
she said, Oh, papa, don't be angry,
but promise me you'll never swear any
more, nor whip your horses hard, and
be kind to mamma
''That's all there is about it, mister,
for l promised my little girl ia grant
her last request, and, sir, I've kept my
word"
Then the blockade was lifted, the
big truck1nan resumed his seat, dashed
tear from his eye and was soon lost
in the muddy tide of trayel.-New York

Woman-s Dearest Attribute.

A party of club men were sitting in
the soft twilight of the smoking room at
the Pendennis club the other evening.
They were chatting. between the puffs
of their cigars, in that INDECENT, easy go
ing manner that distinguishes every one
who can say proudly, II have dined to-
day." The talk drifted along to the sub
iect of women
II have often wondered" said one
man about town, "what is really the
dearest attribute to man of the modern
woman"
"Why didn't you turn your wonder to
the question of a future existence" said
the cynical member of the symposium;
"it is much the easier subject. For my
part, have always held the answer to
be-Her passion for dress"
Then the company proceeded to give
its opinion individually. The answers
came rapidly, Her thirst for amuse-
ment," Her vanity" and many attri-
butes of women were given as being
dearest to mans purse, until the supply
really seemed exhausted
There was a pause in the conversation,
broken at length by the voice of mar
ried man, a great observer, and an I'M
frequent conversational. II venture
to say" said he in a leisurely tone, ''that
can name something about woman
that costs man dearer than anything yet
mentioned"
"Impossibl said the crowd.
'Wiu you beta dinner"
Yes. Now display your rashness.
What is the dearest attribute of woman
in your deluded opinion?"
Her tears"
He got the dinner.-Louisville Post.
