franciscan sisters, who instructed him

ditional baptism, with the usual cere-
% onies.

Accidents have happened ON the stage.
The skirts Of ballet dancers have caught

Mrs Crouch. as the Princess, was to be
seen at window Tho draft carried
the flames toward her, and Kelly, see

to save her, but the supports of this
bridge had been removed prcmaturely
by the carpenter, and Kelly fell to the
ground.

his Memoirs, tho fiery tower, i'll

her in my arms, scarcely knowing what

of the stage. The applause was loud and
continued. In fact, had We rehcarscd

MR.. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, president

MIR. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, president
OF the the New York board Of police
commissioners, now that his efforts in
the direction OF closing the saloons on
Sunday in that city are apparently
successful, has turned his attention to
the heightened social clubs Of the
metropolis, and declares that they too
shall be held amenable to the law. AS
he is himself member OF one OF these
organizations ne can at least claim the
merit of consistency in extending his
program OF preventing Sunday liquor
selling to them. In this case, however,
it will be much more difficult to obtain
evidence than in the case of the saloons,
as the clubhouses and their appur-
tenances are the property of their aris-
tooratic members, and officers OF the
law. it Is claimed, have no more right
inside them than in private residence,
unless the charges OF Sunday liquor
selling are sustained by reputable Wit
nesses. And again, It does not follow
because the clubs are to be investigated
that they are guilty of breaking the
law. The commissioner only desires
to ascertain If the methods OF conduct.
ing such establish ments are in accord :
ance with the law of the State and CITY
OF New York, and the question is, will
he be able to do this in every case?

the psychic life of America greater than
how so many young enthusiasts of like
heart, mind and faith should have found
themselves here so or more years ago.

Vermont and Christian Endeavor.

In the current number of the New
England Magazine Rev. DR.. James L.
Hill in an article on Christian En-
deavor says:-"Nor will the Christian
Endeavor cause ever be discharged
of its obligation to another of her
trustees, Hon. William J. Van Pat
ten, now mayor of Burlington, vt.
He not only believes in the society,
but, being man of wealth, he has
always been willing to show how
much he believes in it. He began
early to circulate DR.. Clark's books,
and in the day of small things put
himself behind the extension of the
literature movement"

The Improvement in the condition
of spring wheat brought by the re-

crop up to ATS, 100000 bushels. The
yield will certainly be from 25,000,-

body a month ago expected. Corn
promises to go above the 2,000,0OO,-

However, six or seven weeks must

When person Is loosing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for
alarm. Nothing so worries a physician.
Consumptives would never die IL they
could regain their usual weight. In fact
there would be no consumption If there
we're no wasting of the system. The
cause of this loss of flesh is failure to
properly digest the food eaten. Nine
tenths of all our diseases date back to
some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. 1t acts
by causing the food we eat to be di-
gested so as to do good, for undigested
food does more harm than good. The
Cordial contains food already digested
and digester Of food as well.

that everybody was good natured mud
pleasant, and that fact alone lent q
charm that is generally conspicuous by

The first inning was productive to
tho number of eight runs to the
"Truckers," but after that the boys
settled down, and there were no more
runs made until the third, when,
