I hired horse and carriage, drove to the old meeting house and preached to perhaps one hundred people After the service the old gen tleman invited me to call at his house. did SO in the hope that he would pay my horse bill or at least offer me a lit- tie food, for l had tasted none since breakfast In both was disappointed. As ! was leaving asked him if he would give me two or three apples to eat on the road back home. He pro duced four small russet apples.

SECRETARY WEIR ON 'eORAToRY., ;,
An Interesting Lecture at the Nj. 3.
Church.


Notwithstanding the inclement weather,
there was large gathering at the M. E.
church Monday evening to hear the lect-
ure by the Hon. Allen Weir on "Oratory." !"
The lecture was under the auspices of the
Collegiate Institute, for whose benefit 1T
was given and was directed chiefly to
young people, whose ambition it is to Sc
cure an education. The hespeaker consumed
about fifty minutes, covering in an inter
esting and pleasing manner the necessity
for the preparation of the students for
some definite object in life, the method of
adopting plan for working and the
storing away of knowledge for the use Of
ones self and mankind rather than for the
mere satisfaction of having knowledge.
The peculiar office of oratory was discussed
and illustrated in reference to the works of
the church, the state, great reforms and
political and legislative patrons and many
examples were cited to present the points
more clearly. Oratory in its various
phases of usefulness, its value as an ae-
complishment, and comparison of its
value at present compared with the past,
was clearly stated. Mr.. Weir showed that
the newspapers and public prints Of today
had in no manner detracted from its eff
fectiVeness and convinced hearers there
was no more influential and potent factor
In the advancement of the people and the
public good than his subject under discus
sion. Mr.. Weir is PLAIN, interesting and
vigorous speaker, and those who attended
the meeting, not only enjoyed it, but pro-
ilted by the many points be so clearly
brought to mind

Satire.

New York Recorder: A delightful bit of
unconscious satire was overheard the other
day as carriage rolled on its way to a
fashionable noon wedding was blocked for
a moment at the curb. Inside was a young
woman III a very low-cut gown and clouds
of gauzy tulle.
''Lord' said shivering, thinly-clad
woman as she watched, when they can
buy warm clothes for themselves, why do
they GO naked on such bitter day?"

Us This q SANDER.

Walla Walla Statesman: It is the opin-
ion Of the Statesman, after due considera-
ton, that the efficiency of the National
Guard Of Washington will always be at a
very low standard until some retired army
officer, who is at the same stime a gentle
man and strict disciplinarian, is placed
head and shoulders above all the present
generals and colonies. The privates be-
have themselves like gentlemen, but those
Of high estate like lotof beggars on horse
back. 1t is common rumor, too, that one
of our tin generals beats his wife.
