where he missed the money. A
thorough search was made, without
any avail Little Jackie Flockhart
says he saw man pick up the money
in front of the postotfice, and says to
his companion, Pm going to keep

boy, and no doubt left town imme-
diately.
Miss Iasbel Cornish had the mis-
fortune to severely sprain her ankle.
She is at home now, and her many
friends hope for d speedy recovery, so
she can have her share OF pleasure

The union Christmas tree at the
Baptist church was beautiful, and
loaded with articles that gave pleasure
to all. Miss Minnie Cornish received
fine ring from the M. E. church, as
a gift of thanks for the efficient work
she has given the church as organist
the past year. The program was
good. A part of it had to be omitted
on account of the crowded church.

An accident befell VIM. Long Mon
day morning as he and his son were
driving into town. AS they were
crossing the railroad track, an engine
that was switching ran into them,
throwing the buggy off the track and
throwing the occupants to the ground.
The son managed to hold the horse.
The buggy was badly broken and Mr..
Long was badly hurt, striking on his
left side. At first it was thought his
ribs were broken, as he suffered
severely. He was taken to the home
of S. B. Babcock and DR.. McMichael
was sent for, but was away. DR.. Steel
and Mr.. Cray came from Mankato on
the noon train to learn how severe the
accident was. The doctor thought
the injury would not prove serious.
Mr.. Long was removed to his home
late in the afternoon. He says he did
not see the engine, as the curtains of
the buggy were down, and the eleva-
tors hid the train from view at first;
and as there was no signal given, they
were not looking for a train.

BASE BALL.

Upon the leval field behold
A gathering of pleasures court
To emulate the Greeks of old
In friendly rivalry and sport. ,.---S~aaa-.,
Swift from the pitchers hands the bali
Flies till it meets the bat, and then
Upward it scales the sky's blue wall,
Trembles and drops to earth again.
Then lifts long and lusty shout rs
That seems to shake the very sun.
Who knows the scorer Is it an "out,"
Or did the player make a "run?''
So every afternoon their play
Makes tougher muscles, redder cheeks,
And keeps our sturdy boys today
The rivals of the ancient Greeks.

JAPANESE RELIGION.

Ono Of tho Most Important Articles OF Its
Greed Concerns Uncleanness.
The reason why the idea of unclcan-
ness was associated with the idea of
dangerousnes was, in my opinion. be-
cause uncleanness was thought to be
the enemy of the gods, and the gods
can not be where any uncleanness OK
lists. The gods are clean and pure. and
those who are not clean and pure can
not but forfeit the protection of the
gods. Those who are not protected by
the gods can easily be alta cl1ed and in
jured by the evil and unc]can spirits,
and hence thu. idea of danger came to
be associated with the idea of unclean-
ness This is, perhaps, made palmer
by some concrete case.
When I was young boy the custom
of eating beef began to spread. AS
blood was regarded as unclean, and
also as Japan had been strong asri-
cultural country. there was n very deep.
rooted disinclination to eat beef. n this,
of course, one has also to recognize the
Buddhism. But to anybody who had
ever tasted beef, it was so delicious
that he could hardly control his nat,r.
nj appetite by his religious scruplas.
My father was one of those who knew
it's taste, and SO now and then we used
to treat ourselves to beef. But where
did we eat it? We did not eat it inside
of the house. We cooked and ate it in
the open mir, and in cooking and eat
ing we did not use the ordinary
utensils, but used the special ones
kept for the purpose. Why all these
things? Because beef was unclean, and
he did not like to spread this unclean-
ness into our house wherein the goods
shelf is kept, and into our ordinary
utensils which might be used in maxi
ing offerings to the gods. The day
when we ate beef my father did not
offer lights to the gods, nor say even
ing prayers to them, as he did usually.
for he knew he was unclean and could
not approach the gods. Then my
mother. who did not and could not cat
beef till very recently, did these things;
and I, who used to partal<e of the new
dainty dish, often went to bed feeling
as If was unclean and subject to dan
gers.-N. Kishimota, in Popular Science
Monthly.

Ono Hundred Doll.rs About the Right
Figure In Fashionable Life.
The most costly single item in the
we'll conducted wedding of to-day is
the cake, without the proper amount
of which no sclf-respecting woman
would dare call herself a bride. 1t is
made as of yore, by the good old-fash-
toned black cake recipe-very heavy.
rich and dark; but no bride Of any up
to-dateness has large and formida BILE
iced CONNECTION of this kind ut her we'd
ding. The stately center piece has
been broken up into small boxes of
watered white paper or silk, tied with
ribbons and stamped with her mono
gram. These are placed so
conveniently at the wedding
that every guest may secure one as I.
souvenir, and those at distance ex-
pect boxes of cake by mail the con-
vcntional adjunct to the nvitation.
All this costs the brides family full
one hundred dollars aud more when
they arrange it for her in anything
like good style. The most approved
cake boxes are about three and n half
inches square, with an attached lifting
lid. They are either covered with pol
ished cream white paper or white satin.
The per boxes, when filled with cake
that is first wound in vaxed paper and
then tin foil, tied with ribbon and
stamped on the lid with the initial let
ters of the bride and groom in gold,
cost sixty-ive dollars 4 hundred. The
white satin boxes ought not only
to bear the monogram in gold
OF silver, bu, on the lid must be
tied bit of orange blossom, and the
confectioner charges just one dollar
and twenty-five cents for eacl, of these
daintily prepared packa GEES of cake.
There are brides and their families
who not only satisfy the conventional
demands of their friends by di, tri buting
at the wedding reception and through
the mail to absent ones. the costly
trities. but have as we'll at home a cake
for cutting. The vast structures OF
elaborate icing on 4 broad eSpanse OF
the delectable, indigestiblc sweetr1cats
are considered out of taste. and now
