An Accommodating PASTOR

The minister of a congrega-
ton in an agricultural district was
greatly annoyed Sunday after S un
day by the unruly conduct of
the junior members of his flock.
When any OF the younger represen.
tatives OF the gentler sex got weary
Of the evening service she would in
variably rise and 60 out. A moment
later her admirer would seize his hat
and sheepishly follow her. To such
an extent would this course of action
prevail that by the time the dis
course was finished only the old peo-
pie remained for the conclusion of
the service. Mr.. Jones concealed
his chagrin for several weeks, but at
last he firmly resolved to act. A
youth grew drowsy one Sunday
evening, and, picking up his hat,
stepped into the aisle. But the min
ister's keen eye was upon him, and,
to the culprit's dismay, he stopped
short in his sermon.
Young man." said he, "the girl
who went out last is not the one you
wish to walk home with. When she
goes will let you know at once.
Please sit down. After this, when
a young woman goes out l will call
on the proper young man to take
care of her."
The minister resumed his dis
course. There was much tittering
and considerable anger, but his SER
mons were not interrupted again

The Mean Man in Town.

The champion mean man paid San
Francisco visit recently. He was
a big, long-legged, raw-boned fellow
with nose like the blade of a
Ratchet. His eyes, like little black
beads, were set within half an inch
of each other and glistened and
cleaned at everybody and every
thing at once. He clutched the arm
of a sad faced little woman with one
long, bony hand and clawed at his
whiskers with the other as he or
dered the waiter in a Market street
restaurant to give him cup of
coffee. The waiter brought it with
some bread and butter and laid
down check for ten cents.
Would you give me an extra
pitcher of cream?" asked the mean
man. The waiter brought it.
Yes, by the way, give me q cup
of hot water, will you, please?"
The waiter brought it and watched
the mean man curiously. He poured
the cream into the hot water, put a
little sugar in it, showed it at his
wife and flung one slice of bread
without any butter in her direction
The little woman ate it hungrily
and the waiter added five cents to
the mean mans check.
The row was heard three blocks
up Market street. He declared he
was being robbed because he was
from the country, but he finally paid
when threatened with arrest. San

Wind for Car Tenders.

An enormous number of trolley
car tenders has poured into the pat
ent Office at Washington for regis
try. A traction company official said
a few days ago that he had examined
plans of three thousand and nine
different designs submitted by in
ventors, and then he had to put up
a sign: "No trolley tenders wanted. }"
All sorts of ideas have been utilized
to keep the tracks clear of pedes-
TRANS. There are hideous bells and
noise generators to scare people off,
cow-catchers to knock them off, re-
volving brooms to sweep them off,
and now comes a Philadelphia in
ventor with q devise for blowing
them off. He has just been granted
patent. His apparatus consists of
q tank in the forward part of the
car, lightly charged with gas or air,
with nozzles arranged at an angle.
In front and under the dasher is a
pivoted framework forming trig-
ger. AS these are touched by per-
son who has fallen in front of the
car the air is freed, and a powerful
stream issues from the nozzle, blow
ing any ordinary obstruction off the
track and out of the way of the

New England Cities.

The race for third place among the
cities of New England is rather an
interesting one In 1890, according
to the federal census of that year,
Worcesters population was "a, 655
and that of New Haven 1928,
while at the present time each claims
total of 100000. Lowell is close
behind, and Fall River, provided its
growth is not impeded by unfavora-
BILE industrial conditions, will give
its slightly larger rivals tussle for
the advantage in the next half dec
ade. Meanwhile Providence retains
its old title OF the second city of

and will pass the 5000 mark with

the current annexation projects get
beyond the stage Of discussion.

The Cook Became an Amazon.


Ny good wife sent south a year
ago for domestic servant of color
who could do the cooking, ironing
and washing for our small family of
four. She came from Asheville, and
weighed, l should say, not less than
three hundred pounds when she ar
rived. We did not work her very
hard We waited on her most dill
gently, for we both were afraid she
might get homesick and leave US.
There was nothing that we did not
do for her. But all our efforts were
vain. A week ago she departed, in
forming us she had found an easier
place. Yesterday George, my eldest
son, thought q trip to Cony Island
would enliven US, We rode on all
the trick railroads and down the
chutes. We shot at the balls and
threw at the cats. Finally we
brought up before the Dahomey
village, and went in to see the six.
teen genuine amazons" advertised
on the bunting outside. There on
the left end Of therow sat our Mary.
But for her color she would have
blushed at sight Of US. AS it was
she hid her face in her hands, and
dropped her wicked spear and raw
hide shield. We said nothing. We
looked and departed for home. N.

Help Cerraa,ay, he Says.
The German rcieAstag closed its
sessions after having achieved an al
most unexamplcd zee ri, says the
Review OF Reviews. OF all the
measures announced from the
throne not single one has become
law. The chief Disappointment of
the session from the ministerial
point Of view was the rejection of the
anti-socialist bills. On this point
Prince Bismarck expressed himself
in a fashion which somewhat sur
prised those who are accustomed to
regard him solely as man of blood
and iron. He said he was not sorry
that the .anti-socialist bill had been
rejected, for if it had not, those to
whom we look for remedies against
the evils of the land would have ar
rived at the conviction that they
had achieved something and could
now rest on their laurels. This con-
viction would have been erroneous
and ] am therefore glad that the
pillow of rest which those gentlemen
intended to prepare for themselves
has been taken away" For his part
he relied much more upon the inf1u-
ence Of women than upon the de-
feated bill Here is what Prince
Bismarck said to a deputation of
Silesian ladies on May 10:
II always regret that so little in
huence in politics is allowed to the
better half of the human race. l do
not expect ladies to deliver speeches
in parliament, but believe that the
results of our elections would be
more national and more satisfactory
if they were more under female in
huence than now. Honest German
women, wives and mothers, do not
appear in public as socialists and I
therefore believe that female SYM
pathy with our political institutions
is much stronger bulwark against
social democracy than our revolution
bill would have been if it had been
paSSed.

VERY SAD.
The Scotchman Didn't See Where
the Joke Game In.

The appreciation of jest is not
possible to everyone, and those per-
sons who lack the power of perceiv-
ing joke are often funnier, unin-
tentionalIy, than are the intentional
testers. On European steamer
YVES a Scotch gentleman coming to
America, who was soon distin-
guished among his fellow-passengers
for his disability in the matter of
approaching humor, and several
Americans set to work to see if they
could not tell him some story of
which he would see the fun.
All sorts of anecdotes, good and
bod, were tried, some true and some
abocryphal; and at length when the
supply was mostly exhausted and
the Scotchman was as unmoved as
ever, one of the Americans told this
whimsical and absurd story.
He said that a man and his bride
started an their bridal tour on an
ocean steamer, and were taken vio-

The voyage was exceedingly
rough, and both bride and groom
became so dangerously i'll that it

said TO him: 81 am very sorry, but

seasick husband returned feebly. II

The story, such as it was, of course
turned upon the old joke about sea-
& sicknes0 The Scotchman listened
to it In profound silence, and when
II was finished he heaved melan-
2 choly sigh.
'sAh," he commented. Very
sad, I'm sure. What was the name
OF the parties?"
And after that they gave up all
attempts to make him see joke.

TWO CLEVER WOMEN.

OF al Queen Vctoria's daughters the
Empress Frederick of Germany is gener>
ally considered to be by far the most
Clever. Her influence is felt not only
at home and in European courts, but in
an indirect way is a beneficial power in
the Far East. The empress is a constant
correspondent of the Empress HaruIe of
Japan, and the latter is greatly indebted
to her for much wise counsel in regard
to assisting the progress of women.
The Empress IHaruke, it is said is moro
intelligent than her husband, and takes
the lead in matters pertaining to the
welfare of the nation and particularly
that which viii benefit the condition of
women in the Orient.
In Japan, as in all Oriental countries,
woman is decidedly a second fiddle so to
speak-is in state of meek submission
TO her husbands will and incidentally
her mother-in-law's win. Thanks to the
empress the Japanese woman is slowly
but surely gaining ali the privileges of
her western sisters-the professions are
open to her she is sent abroad to college,
and on her return assists those who
thirst for knowledge. She is a little BASH
full and timid now, but the new Japane9a
woman viii be a grand success, for,
added to keen intelligence, quicl; perccp-
tion, and untring perseverance, she pos
sesses a kind-haarte1ness gent.eness,
and good breeding which her western sis
ters would do Wei to study, practice,
and teach to future generations.

bedspread. A long cushion OF rose silk,
embroidered with silver. replaces pillows.
The mattresses have covers OF rose-col-
ored marceiine Ga thin silk) stitched with
pattern in Louis XVI style. and at the
corners large bows OF moire ribbon, and
a falling founce of rose silk conceals
the mattresses, though they are SO pretty.

garland Of embroidery. the upper sheet
is worked with a monogram about Is
inches long surrounded with a wreath
OF roses most suitably done: the por-
