man to the Lounger. Il was going on an
excursion with party of friends. We had
all purchased our tickets in advance and
mine was in my pocket book. The pocket
book. though. was in my other trousers,
and they were at my home in Georgetown
"Of course never learned all this until
reached the DEPOT 1t was then Just thirty
minutes until train time. There was but
one thing to do and that was to go back
and get the ticket if expected TO go with
the party. There was not cab IN sight
when I reached the pavement. l took a
car and it never seemed 10 go slower. I
watched both sides of the street for a
carriage and II was not until the car rea ched
Fifteenth street that hailed one. II was
then a mad race against time. But il

Manufacturers have already plates full of
new designs, and their hooks are filled with
orders enough to keep them busy for long
while to come. An organization or soc-

all up tod date. We are aking buttons now

sual call for Christian Endeavor buttons has
been made. That is because of the conven-
tlon that is to be held here in Washington
this summer. Street men and others will
buy them in large quantities. or course.
every one that comes to the convention
will wear the Endeavor button. but they
will all want to carry one home to each of
their friends. We have a big list of orders
for buttons for advertising purposes. too.

being of the finest China

IT is related of an ardent partisan of

1T is related of an ardent partisan of
the State of Nebraska. whose par
tiality for Congressman KEN caused
him TO burn money and lose sleep for weeks
prior to the latter's nomination, that in
| order to secure votes for his favorite he
made 1t his religious duty to fall in with
the sentiment OF every community in which
he found himself. If the Baptists predom-
mated he became j strong advocate OF i'm
mersion as means for the remission of
sins: with the Methodists he was faith
ful Wesleyan, and go with the Prcsbyterians
and other denOmina tions.
Naturally, this partisan was a rousta-
bout with the advantage of no religious
training, and but slight tendency to rever-
encc for his Makers name. He was n most
inveterate swearer, in short. and this got
him into trouble. During the progress of
his caHvass fol- delegates this man, whose
name might have been Smith, struck a
prayer-mceiing. He ran upon it purely by
accident, without previous knowledge of
the theological preference OF the breth-
ren.
1t was u gathering of farmers, though,
and he trusted 10 luck. Smith had never
been an active participant Ill church exer-
self. Possessed of a good voice. he sang
with such fervor and zeal that the leader
mistook him for a professor and called
upon him 10 offer prayer.
Ii was a sumner, but remembering that
he was in the midst OF farmers, he tumbled
upon his knees and began a petition for
their welfare. He prayed that they might
be blessed with barrels of corn, barrels Of
potatoes. barrels of wheat, and so on, until
he had exhausted his vocabulary. He
floundered. but at once remembered another
item, and with renewed emphasis ex-
claimed:
"Oh, Lord, IL is humbly petitioned that
Thou wilt give them barrels OF pepper"
but suddenly remembering the dispropor-
ton of this appeal, he exclaimed.
1.-THE devil, no! that's too much pepper!"
The startled group about him arose en-
masse, Smith headed for the door, and dis
appeared in the late twilight.
