Barrett, the gentleman who has charge
will give an interesting talk next Sunday
afternoon on the occasion OF Mr. Jacobs
visit, who will present Mr.. Moody's plan
OF work among the convicts Mr.. Bar
rett will give his side OF the subject from
q practical standpoint, having himself
been confined In prisons throughout the
country.
The.other evening Barrett was taking
the professedly Christian people TO task
| when he illustrated pretty good point
by the following story: AT one time he
was confined in a California prison, and
| one Sunday, while at chapel, the prisoners
were addressed by a minister who said,
among other things, that, IL upon his next
| visit certain number Of prisoners would
| commit TO memory the verses he named
in chapter OF the Bible, that he would
upon the following Sunday distribute
| among them some chromos with which to
decorate their cells. Barrett was delighted
| at the idea, and the following week de-
| voted himself to mis- task in most assid-
| uous manner.
| When the time arrived Barrett was
| surprised TO find that he was the only
prisoner who had studied the verses. and,
after their recital, which was satisfactory
| ly done, he resumed his seat His sur
prise may be imagined, when as the pris-
| oners filed out of the chapel TO go TO
their respective cells he alone OF all the
others, did not receive the promised chro-
mo, and he wondered how il was possible
for minister TO tell such a whopper as
he did.

be refunded to people who could not OBJ
tain even standing room. First-class at

The illumination OF the bay last even
ing was enjoyed by a large number OF
people. The night was perfect one for
the occasion of properly bringing to a
close the season in blaze OF red fire and

The new woman VS.. the old woman.
The old woman will not be relegated to
| unless
new woman has something more to re-
commend her than mannish manners, CIV
ing back talk to her parents, or vainly
trying to crush out of existence man
whom she pretends to hate The new wo-
man will be a success when she tries to
lift up the fallen OF her sisterhood, and
becomes the worthy helpmate of man,
who is made better and nobler for the as
sociation.
The new woman may be found in the
offices of our merchants assuming the re-
sponsibilities OF important branches OF
business in the compiling or manuscript
as dictated by her employer, which comes
, from the wonderful "Bar-Lock" type
writing machine in perfect condition.
And, by the way, did you know that it
, was a fact that the Bar-Lock will out
write ana outwear all other typewriters?
Fact.
, The Bar-Lock typewriter is the very first
of visible writing machines, and that is
: why it is so popular. You can see what
you are writing.
Chestnut.
A gentleman was approached the other
day about availing himself of unique
manner of advertising, when he replied
"Oh, that is chestnut - II had beer
done before, the gentlemen meant TO ion.
, ply, and yet he himself was giving an am
I pie illustration of the chestnut" by 6
/ continuance of the same old methods o.
' attracting dollars TO his Golfers. What
would we do without the "cnestnuts, >
so called? Is there anything new under
the sun, anything strictly original? Just
think il over. DO not ignore the "chest
, NUT" especially il they have been tn,
I means OF making your success.
This September weather is simply glori
Gus, and no mistake. Hope everyone a.
