The hopes of the German Emperor
that his bill to Increase further the size
OF the German army may have in the
next Reichstag sufficient majority. re-
ceived rude rebuff in the speech of the
Austrian statesman Kalnoky. The Aus
trian says that the relations Of Austria
and Russia are improving. and that
peace seems assured for an indefinite
time. When it is remembered that the
Imperialists of Germany are just now In
the midst of hot campaign, In which
their leading slogan is the necessity
of increasing the army, the in
opportune effect of the Kalnoky speech
is apparent. Austria is the ally of Ger
many, and with Italy they constitu te the
famous Dreibund, which was constructed
to hold in check Russia and France. IT
is not then q very friendly act for an
Austrian statesman to put in word
which will make it more difficult for one
member of the alliance to keep up its
effective armament. The friends of Bis
marck are on hand with an explanation
of this. Austria, they say, has discoy-
cred the weakness of the new imperial
government Of Germany, and is hasten
ing to take the leading place in the Drei-
bund that Germany once held in the DAYS
Of the man Of blood and iron.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

How Keeping Lato Hours Estranged Two
Young People of st. Louis.
A curious and withal instructive acct
dent happened In s.our best society" some
time ago. A certain young gentleman
had an engagement to escort a certain
young lady to certain very fashionable
party. The young lady was quite as
fashionable as tho party. So when the
young gentleman called about 10 o'clock
she '&was not quite ready, but would be
down in moment" The young gentle
man waited several moments, even 90 OF
80, and still she came not. He was very
weary, for, being "a swell society man"
and the season unusually gay. his social
duties had taken him out every night
for week and kept him out until Q or
8 in the morning.
Naturally he was somewhat sleepy,
and the longer he waited the sleeper he
grew. There was large alcove in the
parlor draped with heavy curtains, and
in the alcove comfortable sofa. He
thought he would take 40 winks'' while
the leisurely lady fingered in her bou-
doir. He stretched himself upon the sofa
and proceeded to take the much needed
winks, but unluckily could not stop
with 40. When at last the lady descend
ed, radiant in loneliness and Respondent
in costume, the gentleman was literally
tout Of sight"
She never thought of looking behind
the curtains, but supposing he had
stepped out to see friend" she wait
ed and waited and waited in vain. At
midnight she gave up the wait and re-
tired to her room in mood the reverse
Of angelic. Next morning, when the
maid was arranging the parlor, she drew
aside the curtains and screamed. There
was Mr.. Bulliboy sleeping as soundly
and sweetly as an infant. The scream
awakened him. He opened his eyes,
rubbed them, took in the situation and
fed without leaving his card. Whether
or not he ever made 1t all right" with
Miss Creme de la Creme the deponent
saith not.
The moral to this story is: Have
earlier party hours. Late party hours
kept Miss de La Creme up stairs when she
should have been down, made Mr.. BulliA
boy tired and drowsy, and SO tempted
him to the fatal 40 winks," with the
disastrous results above mentioned.
Whom will some leading lady of fashion
be sensible enough and brave enough to
set the fashion Of parties from to 10,

The Newman Congregational church

anniversary. Excepting the First Bap-
tist church of Providence, which was or
ganized five years earlier, it is the oldest
church in the state. But although the
Newman church was located in Rumford
in 1913, its inception was in the town Of
Weymouth, Massachusetts,, in 1924, only
four years after the landing of the Pill
grims. The church was lead from Mass
achusetts to Rhode Island by Rev. Sam
uel Newman, one of the brilliant Eng
lish preachers whom the prosecutions OF
Archbishop Laud drove out of England.
The old church has seen many vicissi-
tudes in the $50 years of its existence.
but is still prosperous agency for good.
As an illustration of the stability Of
New England life, the fact should be
mentioned that the present superinten-
dent of the Sunday school is lineal de-
scendant of one of the charter members
of the church In 1913.

AS silk is an animal fibre, like wool,
it cannot be treated in the same way
as cotton, which may be subjected to
water of all temperatures without in
jury. Silk should be washed as rapidly
as possible. Examine the articles TO
be washed, and if there are any parts
especially soiled clean them with little
5enzine or gasoline, applied with a
hanuel cloth. Then prepare soap
suds of lukewarm water aud plunge
the garments In 1t, t,sousing them up and
down, and rubbing them thoroughly
in the suds. Rinse them into a water

water still little cooler, and
so on until the final rinsing water is
perfectly cold. Do not blue them.
Wiring them out as dry as possible

or other heavy cloths, and roll them az
hard as you can in firm rolls. Put
them away for an hour, and at the end
of that time iron them on the wrong
