arranged by cutting out all the desirable
stories and having them bound. There is

In order to do this successfully it is neces-

pages that are wanted, and then there is
sufficient margin for the bookbinder.
A collection of pictures cut from the

classify them and arrange them according
to subject.

Old Ladies' Luncheon

Mrs. J. C. M. Spencer and Miss Mary E.
Spencer entertained at the home of the for
mer Monday afternoon in honor of their
venerable mother, Mrs. Milanda Spencer,
who celebrated her S4th birthday. The ta-
BILE was most pleasing in the artistic ef-
fects produced by the blending of hello
trope and smilax. Heliotrope crepe paper
encircled the flowers and was gathered into
soft folds near the center of the table,
which was occupied by tempting birth
day cake holding one candle for the year
to come. The table was brilliant with
eighty-four candles that were dotted about
in the unique design of the paper. At each
place was card inscribed in gold letters
with the guest of honor's name and the
words "Our Mother" In one corner was
the date, March 2,>1S96. The card held a
pretty tribute in verse, composed for the
occasion by Mrs. M. L. Brunson. The
whole was held together by a white ribbon,
with a cluster of white and purple violets
caught in the bow. Mandolin, harp and
guitar music was enjoyed during the after
noon. Hearty congratulations were ex-
tended to the charming cid lady, and best
wishes for many more such happy events.
Those invited were Mines. NJ. p. Brunson,

He Shouted Fire and Got II

Chief Justice Francis Johnson of the su-
perior court of the province of Quebec, on
one of his circuits in the eastern townships
during the winter, put up at a country ho-
tel. The night was very cold and the hotel
proprietor was not eXtravagant in his fuel
supply or in the weight of his blankets.
The judge put over his bed covering his
heavy coat and other clothes, but still
found it impossible to sleep. 1t was after
midnight and no one around to make a
fire. The judge arose and, putting on his
slippers and dressing gown, went into the
passageway and shouted with all his
power:
Fire! fire! fire''
In q few seconds the whole hotel was
aroused, and the proprietor, painting and
scared, ran to the judge and screamed:
Where is the fire? Where is it?
Piled:
''That's what am trying to find"
A good fire was soon made in the hall
and the rest of the night was passed in
comfort.-Youth's Companion.

Ing has been given out, and the most that
can be obtained there Is confirmation Of
the story that there was q fight. The
Spanish officials will not state the result
of tho battle, nor have they furnished the
local papers with an official note of it..
This In itself is sufficient to confirm the

complete details OF victories for their side.
The hot lighting was done by the Amer

the Bermuda flibustering expedition for

Without the assistance Of the Ameri-

1t was only their deadly fire sent into the
town by the gatling and hotchhiss guns
that saved the day for the patriots.

There are two very simple rules which,
IL borne in mind by the voter when he
enters the booth, will make II practically
impossible for him to render his ballot
defective. The first is that cross must
be used TO designate the candidate foS
whom he wishes to vote. No other mark !,
symbol or device can be employed. ANY
departure from the simple cross will
make the ballot defective. That ought
not to be very difficult for citizens to re-
mem ber.. The second rule is that this
cross must be placed to the right d the
name of the candidate for whom the
citizens desires to vote. IL ii is not put
in the little square TO be found on the
ballot, but is still to the right of the
name, the ballot will be valio. IT, how
ever, the cross Is placed on the right
above or below the candidates name or
in any other place than opposite and the
right, the ballot will be defective and
will be thrown out.
