The Rev Septimus Smith was many
years ago vicar of St Cross, Nencham. lie
made TO secret at all of his habit of buying
ready made sermons any more than his
fondness for old port and of whist playing
with leading parishioncrs until midnight
of every Saturday. He was II kindly
natured, easy going man, and was popular
among his equally easy going flock. One
Sunday morning on going into the vestry
after service, he found his old clerk in tears.
"What's the matter, JoncsW inquired
the vicar. con, sir" replied the clerk,
"this is a'panCul surprise to us ALL" "Sur-
prise, Jones? What do you mcang" "Your
sermon this morning, sir We are very,
very sorry, and you gave us no warning"
sermon, Jouesl SermOn2 What do you
mean, manY "Why, sir, your farewell
sermon. We are all dreadfully cut up"
And it is quite true that that morning the
Rev. Mr., Smith had actually read an old
farewell sermon without either intending
or knowing it.-SJCctator.

long, slim hand. He took it slowly, as
though i'll dream, raising his forage

nothing 10 do with the business de-
precision. They point out that the
depression is experienced not only in
this country, but throughout the civ
ilizcd world. and therefore that il is
foolish to attribute il to prospective
tariff changes in this country alone.
They take n broader view. and find
the cause of The trouble in excessive
production OF manufactured goods.
This view is substantially correct.
This country has contributed its full
share to the excessive production.
or to the unbalancing and dcrauge-
ment of production. under the slim
illus of the protective tariff. Estab-
lishments have been multiplied in
consequence OF the eagerness of men
to grasp the greatest amount of tariff
spoil. and the result is q breakdown.

products of the favored and pam
percd industries. and there must be

Facts About Derre ,sion.

Thomas j. Bowling. commissioners
OF the New York bureau of labor
statistics. in his annual report gives
the results of an investigation which
he has made as to the effects OF the
'.hard times" on manufacturers and
their employees.
The commissioner began his in
vestigation last December by send
ing a circular to manufacturers OF
the state, making inquiries on the
subject. lie received replies from
2,011 manufacturing concerns in g.
general Industries, which may be
briefly summarized rs follows:
OF the whole number responding
40, or 23 per cent, state that they
have not been affected by business
depression. They have continued
operations IN their factories, employ
ing their usual working force on full
time. The other 1.541 report that
they have been affected. some more
that their works have been entirely
closed, 1,0S7 that thev have been
partially closed. and 2j5 that they
were entirely closed for time and
then partially reopened with reduced
force or on shorter working time.
In regard to wages 49I establish
ments report that they have made
reductions. 400 that they have not.
and % fail to answer. The largest
reduction of wages is in the clothing
industry, where it ranges from 4 to
663 per cent. The percentage of
employees working in partially closed
establishments ranges from , to 100
per cent. In 256 establishments all
have been kept ut work. but on re
duccd time. In other establish
ments the reduction of force has va
ried very widely. Without going
into details 1t will suffice to say that
744 establishments have kept 80 per
cent or more of their forces EN-.
ployed. while 252 have kept less
than that percentage. Fifty-four
concerns failed to make returns as
to the proportion of employees kept at
work. The Chicago Herald, COM
menting on the showing. says:
AS to the cause of the depression
different opinions are expressed.
Some manufacturers say it is uncer.
tainty in regard to the tariff. The
prevailing idea among those who ex-
press this opinion is that the ques.
ton should be settled one way Oh
the other, and that when it is settled
they will know just what to GO, and
they will soon he as busy as ever.
Some assert that If the pending bill
is passed they will have to reduce
wages. but perhaps an equal numb Der
say that they will be able to pay the
same wages they have been paying.
Other manufacturers say that in
their opinion the tariff has little or

Christian Endeavor Day.

Union services of the Congregational,
Episcopal and Baptist churches will be
held in the Lutheran church, Sunday
evening, February 4th, at 7:3o. This
promises to be one of the religious e.
vents of the year and is in honor of the
thirteenth anniversary of the founding Of
Christian Endeavor movement. Music
will be furnished by the c. E. choir Of
twenty voices, under the leadership of
Miss Hannah Mcbride. Special solo
and quartette singing will also be given.
1t is advised that those wishing seats
come early as the seating capacity of the
church will undoubtedly be taxed. The
following provisional roster of speakers
and subjects has been arranged for by

School Apporti onment.

Superintendent Goudy filed the De-
cember semi-annual state school appor-
tionment with Auditor Moore. The sum
of $3oo,5o8 is apportioned among the va
rious counties of the state, at the rate of
1878 cents per scholar of school age.
The money is derived as follows: Inter
est on United States bonds, $500: inter-
est on state bonds, $13,o5o.6e; interest
on county bonds, ~$54,4o2.11; interest
on unpaid principal school lands, $1o3-
345.35: lease school lands, $40, $50. 90;
refunded from Hall county, $282.87.
The amount appropriated is $500 $685.
IS at a rate of 1878 cents per scholar.
The December apportionment for 1892
was 1858, 126 based on $I.o4 per scholar.
In June, 1898. it was $3.50, 1874, and the
rate was $1.o2 per scholar. The cause of
the decrease is a falling off in the inter-
est on school lands, school land leases
and interest on county bonds. The state
tax on the other hand has yielded a
greater amount than accrued in 1892.
Superintendent Goudy desires it to be
known that a delay in getting out the
present state apportionment has been
caused by the delay on the part ola few
of the county superintendent in filing
correct reports. The making of the ap-
portionment before the correction of
these reports would have deprived sew
eral counties of their share of the state
fund entirely. AS an illustration of the
p~romptness of action of the state depart
ment of education in the matter, it may
be stated that the data for correction of
the last county superintendent report
was received Tuesday morning, and the
apportionment was ready for the mail
Wednesday evening. Of the amount
apportioned Red Willow county gets
$3,II2.oI, having 3,54I persons of
school age.
