A Substitute.

Martha Is four years old and has just begun her religious education in the in fant class of an up town Sunday school. 1t is custom of the teacher of this partic- ular infant class to give each of her small pupils card containing a short text which the child is expected to memorize during the week. In passing them out she charg ed each of the children to be sure to keep them carefully and return them the next Sunday, that they might be passed on to others.
 Martha is not a very careful little girl, and though fully impressed with the duty of returning the card she neglected to put 1t in 0 place of safety, and even before she had reached home she discovered that she had lost it. The thought worried her con- siderably at first, until a bright idea came into her head. and, strange to relate it staid there all the week. She said nothing to her mother about the lost card, and the next Sunday went of to Sunday school happy as usual. The lost card was not troubling her innocent little conscience. The infant class assembled and the teacher called on the children to return their cards. When it came Martha's turn, she arose and said timldly: 1T am very sorry, but'I lost my card before got home. l have brought you one of my own which papa gave me to play with. It is much bigger and prettier than the one lost.' And she placed it with the rest.
 The young woman who was teaching the infant class stared in mute astonish- ment, while several unregenerate adults II | different parts of the classroom bit theil | lips to keep from laughing.
 The card which little Martha had ten l dered was somewhat dilapidated queer | of hearts.-Buffalo Express,

Robbins the Good NAtured.

A scheme has been worked success- fully in this city for the past few days, and the police are searching for the sharper. A we'll dressed man enters one of the first class restaurants, and after partaking of a hearty meal feels for his pocketbook. He makes the discovery that he has left it at home, and turning to some substantial looking business man who happens to be in the place ex- plains his predicament and asks the gentleman to settle his bill. In nine times out of ten this is cheerfully done. Then the suave stranger asks the gen tleman for his card, that he may return the amount at his earliest opportunity. This is handed over, and the business man and stranger part. When the busi- ness man returns to his home in the evening, he finds that the man has call cd during his absence and presented the card to his wife, with the request that she send him some money, clothing or jewelry, as the case may be. If the busi- ness man happens to be bachelor, the card gives the stranger the privilege of going to his apartment after some ar ticle, and then the drawers are ransack- ed. A number of the patrons of the St. Nicholas and Burdick's were caught by the trick.-Cincinnati Post.

CANAAN CONN. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2s,

marriage were postponed and advised that the ceremony go on today, the scene being shifted to the Hotel Buckingham and the witnesses limited to the few who were entitled by claims of blood relation ship to see the union of these two young people.
 So. messages were hurriedly dispatched to those of the invited guests who lived in town or could be reached in time, recall ing the invitations.
 The bride drove from her homo, West Fifty fourth street. with her father, John D. Rockefeller, to the Buckingham at a few minutes before 12. The family we're already assembled in the large parlors.
 Miss Rockefeller's gown was of ivory satin, made in princess fashion, with a long, round train. The waist was covered with heavy point lace appliqued on a silk foundation. Lace of the same design was arranged over the tops of the sleeves She wore also a long point lace veil.
 The bridesmaids gowns were of spotted gauge draped over satin and trimmed with fichus of lace. Four of them were rose pink in color, two of white color and that of the maid of honor of a delicate mauve.
 After tho marriage, which was over Q little after 12 o'clock, those who were present remained in the drawing rooms for half an hour. Then they took car riages and drove to the Rockefeller house, where a wedding breakfast was served Mrs. Mccormick went to the house with her father, but her husband was unable to leave the hotel.

It is only four blocks from the Buckingham to the Fifth avenue Baptist church at Forty y-sixth street. Harold F.

victoria's Coronation Ordeal.

Victoria's coronation ceremonies, ac- oording to The Woman at Home, lasted more than four hours, and throughout the queen played her part with wonderful oomposure. Care, says the same writer, had been taken to provide crown suit able for her small head, but no one had thought about reducing the size of the orb which she was required to carry in her tiny hand. "What am to do with itr' she asked in concern. "Carry 1t, your majesty" replied Lord John Thyme. "Must IF It is very heavy" the queen an- swered in a tone of amazement. However, 1t was too lnto to protest, and she obeyed the exigencies of the situation. worse mistake had been made with regard to tho ruby coronation ring. The jeweier had made it to fit her majesty's little finger, whereas the archbishop declared that ac- oording to tho rubric 1t must be put upon the larger finger, and accordingly forced it into that position. The queen bore her painfully swelling finger with the same heroism that she carried the weighty orb. Afterward the finger was so much swollen thnt it had to be bathed in ice water be- fore the ring could be drawn off

the road nau lareIy been covered with broken stones, and here Joe was able to make good progress away from his bare footed pu1suer. The man had paused a moment when he saw his clothes splash into the water, but evidently consider ing that the clothes were less valuable than the money he hurried on as he was. The broken stones were soon passed, and then at every. step the man gained upon Joe, and had it not been for close prickly hedge near by through which the boy forced his way, he would undoubt- edly have been caught. He reflected that if the ruffian made up his mind to force his way through the briers he would suffer much more than he, and so he made the best of his advantage thus gained.
 At last the man came through, threatening and swearing at the terri fled Joe, who, feeling that his strength could not last much longer, doubled his pace In vain he looked for some living thing to help-for house in which to hide, but there was not one in sight. The ruffian had ceased his threatening, but his silence was far worse, and Joe could hear the batter of his bare feet close behind.
 It was of no use. He was losing ground every minute, and 1t would be impossible to outrun this man. He made last spurt, however, and dashing about a corner of the fence came in sight of the winding river again. Ah, there was another chancel Without Q moments hesitation Joe raised his hands above his head and dived from the bank and with two or three quick strokes under water he came up several yards ahead of his pursuer. The man had dashed into the water without realizing that he could not swim and depth now.
 As Joe calmly climbed the opposite bank after his refreshing bath the half drowned ruffian was being pulled from the water by his companion, who had secnred the clothes and followed as fast as possible. Awful threats of vengeance were poured on Joe's head from across the water when the ruffian recovered the use of his lungs and the volley of stones that came nearly across the river was appalling. Joe coolly occupied himself in wringing the water from his clothes and in shaking his fist at the men and returning some of their threats.
 When he had rested awhile he pre- pared to start for home, which must have been some IS miles distant. He rolled the trousers up, and depositing them on the bank shouted to the men that they were ready as soon as they cared to call for them. Then taking off his hat with a flourish he turned his back and was on the road for home. He reached the house of friendly farmer at nightfall and spent the night there. The next morning he feached home safely and handed the money bag to his father. r.-Exchange.

The green servant girl, who makes strange and not always Imaginable blun- ders is not found exclusively in American households. The European journals abound with incidents illustrating the difficulties of adapting girls reared in the country, or in the slums of cities, to the domestic arrangements of better to do peo- pie.
 A French journal records that lady of Paris who had taken into her employ a stout country girl said to her:
 Marie, I will give you 300 francs year and dress you. .'
 The next morning after the girls ontry into her service the lady, on awaking, rang for her domestic. There was no re- sponse.
 She rang again, and the girl did not ap- pear Then the lady went to the girl s room and found her still in bed.

MRS. HAROLD NJ CORMICK. day, reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that it would be hazardous for the patient to risk the excitement the physical strain and the unpropitious weather by going through the ordeal of the church wedding.
 The Brides Pretty Idea.
 There is no central aisle down which the bridal procession might advance to the altar in the Fifth Avenue Baptist church. The pulpit is on high platform at one end of the church and the organ and choir loft is very high up at the other end.
 An immense Gothic window of stained glass almost fills one end of the church and reaches to the roof. An immense arch was constructed of flowers on plan pro- portionate to this window. A half dozen pews were removed from the front of the church, and in, their place large circular platform or dais was built, approached by steps that weilt clear round the stage. In the center of this stage was the Gothic arch of palms and pink ohrysanthemums, ilanked by screens of palm leaves loosely interwoven.
 From small doors on either side tho bridesmaids would issue singly, meet un- der the bridal arch and descending the en- circling steps, two by two, to the right aisle walk down the aisle to the rear door of the church. where they would receive the bride and escort her to tho platform. This idea was conceived and planned by Miss Rockefeller and is quite unique in the history of New York weddings. But | it and all the other splendors had to be | given up, and in place of the splendor oi a church wedding the wealthiest bride oi | 1895 and one of America's greatest heir esses was asked to decide on a marriage | in sickrooln.

The Pretty Suburban Village of Arlington

 NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 27.-Arlington Heights, one of the pretty residential sec- tions on the east bank of the Passaic river, in the township of Kearney, was the scene of a double shooting affray which will re- suit in the death of Thomas Colt, pho- tographer, doing business at 28 Beach street, New York city. and the possible maiming for life of Miss Carrie Plate, whose life Colt made desperate, but futile effort to end before he fired bul. let into his own head.
 Miss Plate who is 25 years old, is the daughter of the late Henry P. Plate, who was a prominent cork cutter in Iowa Colt met Miss Plate some years ago. and. 1t is stated. has been fpoquent visitor at her home, and it Is believed that the shooting was tho outcome of love affair.
 According to the story told by those who saw the shooting, Colt and Miss Plate alighted from a trolley car, laugh ing and chatting merrily. They had walked but short distance in the direc- tion of the girls home when Colt sudden ly drew a revolver and began to fire. Miss Plate tried to escape. The first bullet struck her in the arm and the second in the back. The third went wide of its mark.
 Believing that he had killed the girl, Colt then shot himself. It was thought he was dead, and he was allowed to re- main on the street in the pouring rain until the arrival of the coroner, who on examination found that the would be murderer was still alive. His recovery, however, Is impossible Miss Plate is very seriously wounded, but is expected to recover.
 The Plate family deny that there was any love affair between Miss Plate and Colt. They claim that her relations with him were strictly of a business nature, us she was employed frequently by him in coloring photographs. They offer no sx- planation, however, of the shooting.
