1--WE do not know that" observed
the lady, acidly.
Somehow, Claire Dayton was not
popular in the house. She was polite
and courteous to all, but she formed
no intimacies.
''Stuck up!" Rhoda Miller called
! her. ''Airy and conceited," Miss
Upiohn said.
No one was really kind to her but
Mr.. Carstairs, and the fact of his
chivalrous kindness and evident adj
miration seemed still further to en-
bitter the other eleven young lady
boarders toward its object.

stairs can fancy in her," said Maria
Upjohn.
Gentlemen always do fancy these
red-haired, light-complexioned girls"
said Miss Miller, who was brunette,
and had long entertained views upon
the young foreman of the Franklin
Factory.
And Miss Carstairs, who disap-
proved, on principle, of her brother
settling in life (bachelor brothers are
more convenient to single sisters), de-
preciated Miss Dayton on all occa-
sions.
OF all Claire's beauties, her rich
red-gold hair filled Hngh Carstairs
with the greatest admiration.
"It's the loveliest ever saw in my
life" said he. 'It's just the shade of
a picture 1 once saw in the Academy
of Fine Arts, in Philadelphia"

marked Miss Lavinia Carstairs, with
acrimony.
'Nonsensel" said her brother.
'Do you actually suppose it's her
own?" satirically demanded the
lady.
'Do / suppose the light in her eye
and the tone of her voice are her
own" spiritedly retorted the young
foreman.
Miss Carstairs made no reply, she
merely raised her eyebrows and
shifted.
That selfsame afternoon she called
her brother down into the back yard
"a dreary little wilderness of lilac
bushes. some late shrubs and sickly
geranium plants-where the semi
weekly wash of napkins and table,
cloths was tapping on the line, and a
lachrymose dog, chained to his ken
nell, kept up perpetual whine.
Hugh" said she, "come here 1
want to speak to you"
"What is it?" said Mr.. Carstairs,
impatiently.
"Look therel" said Miss Lavinia,
pointing one hooked finger to the
third-story easement
"Well, I'm looking"
'.Do you see that window with the
muslin curtain blowing in the breeze?"
"Yes."
''That is Miss Dayton's window.
And do You see that thing hanging
out of it by q string?"
''It looks like a scalp" suggested
Hugh.
Its switch" said Lavinia
ga what?"
"a switch. False hair"
''Impossiblel" cried the young
man.
"Well, you've the evidence Of your
own Senses" said Miss Carstairs, not
without spice Of triumph in her
tone and manner. "And now what do
You think about your piece of perfec-
tion?"
"T think" said Hugh Carstairs,
slowly. ''that I canuot tolerate or
abide falsity in any Of its shapes; and
/ am more disappointed than can
tell"
"I always knew she wasn't real"
said Miss Lavinia, with q vicious re-
lish.
"But for oil that, added Carstairs,
setting his firm white teeth togethev.
81 love Miss Dayton, and I shall ask
her to become my wife"
"Whatl" shrieked Miss Csrstairs.
"Your wife +? And with switch?"

applicable to the subject for the evening.
I After reciting some personal impressions,
of the great convention, the speaker gave
a brief history OF the organization and also
its founder, DR.. Clarke.
There are many things connected with
the society, its system Of organization and
its methods OF inspiring enthusiasm, which
should commend themselves to everyone.
To illustrate bow easily 1t was to form
erroneous opinions on the subject OF Christ

SECRETARY HERBERT's PLANS.
Postpones His Inspection to Prepare
Bids for New Ships.


Among the important matters that nave
necessitated q weeks postponement or
Secretary Herbert's voyage OF Inspection
ON the Dolphin are the plans for the three
new battleships and thirteen torpedo boats,
the contracts for which, In accordance
with the act of Congress approved June
10. must be awarded within 100 days.
That limit will expire October 8, and
as some time had to be allowed for can
wasting and considering the proposals,
the advertisements which have already
been issued called for opening the bids on
the torpedo boats September IA, and on
the battleships four days later. Plans
and specifications for the torpedo boats,
which are to be of three classes, making
respectively, thirty, twenty-five and one
half and twenty knots, have already been
prepared for eight bidders, who have ap-
piled for them, and Chief Constructor
Hichborn is confident that the drawings
and details of the battleships will be in
possession OF the only four establishments
in the country capable of such big work not
later than August 1.
The entire resources OF the Navy De-
partment have been strained to their ut
most to expedite this work, and as soon
as it is out of the way a general effort
is to be made to hasten the completion
of existing contracts, some OF which are
behind time.

The Christian Endeavor "echo" meet
ing in the Luther Place Memorial Church,
Rev. j. Il. Butler, pastor, presiding, was
quite largely attended, the majority OF
those present being ladies and members
of the local Christian Endeavor societies.
The meeting was principally to talk over
the recent convention, and to draw some
encouraging lessons from what had been
said by the several speakers, and what
had been accomplished.
The Rev. Mr.. Butler said he was sure
the holding of the convention here would
| result in much good to the local societies,
and that the lessons taught during the
great meetings would be carried by the
visiting delegates to the uttermost parts
OF the world.
Interesting addresses were delivered by
Mr.. c. E. Paul, president OF the Christian
Endeavor Society of the Luther Place
Memorial Church; George Lincoln and
Charles Phillips, Of st. Pauls Church;
Mr.. May, Of the Zion Luther Church: the
Rev. DR.. L. NJ. Kuhn, Of the Church Of the
Reformation: the Rev. c. II. Butler, OF
the Keller Memorial Church; Mr.. A. d.
Spangler, of the Memorial Church; George
L. Beeler, Of the Keller Memorial; Miss
Severinghans, OF Chicago, and Mr.. Lapoint,
Of Peoria, Ill. /.
All of the speakers referred to the excel
leDce of the addresses delivered and to the
marked attention given by tile delegates.
The enthusiasm of the meetings, too, was
noticeable thing, and not meeting or
rally was held but was chara cterized by
earnestnesS on the part Of those who partic-
pated and enthusiasm on the part of the
gathering of wors hipers. The big open
air praise service at the Capitol came In
for large share OF the good words and
every speaker said that the Influence Of
that meeting would bring forth splendid Ie-
suits. The Capitol was fairly taken by
song. and the singing Of America by
1000 Christians in the very shadow OF
the Nations Capitol was an event which
must be remembered by everyone present,
and which must have been the means Of
spreading abroad an influence for Christ
iaDity that would be felt fTsm one end Of
the United States to the other.
The following resolutions were offered
and adopted:
Whereas the boards of home and for
ei-n missions of your general synod is
financially embarrassed, therefore he it
Resolved, That the echo meeting ear
nestly recommend to our several Chris
tian Endeavor Societies in the city that
we contribute an average of 20 cents for
each member enrolled for the relief of
the boards, TO be paid not later than
Saturday, November 10, 1896. That we
recommend a like action through c. E.
Societies throughout our church.
"Resolved, That We respectfully re-
quest Lutheran leagues and all societies
OF young people in our churches 70 Join
us in this relief plan. That the church
papers be requested to open a column to
report from week to week the societies
in this laudable endeavor."

The regatta is an annual event, which

While then the power Of these sorganiza-

Every step that men take toward

waning motives. The motives of liberalism
are motives that are gaining in power with

PECULIAR. POlSONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.

The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs Of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis
ease and death Called by scientists Pto-
malnes) are usually the results of imperfect
digestion of food the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the food
The result is a heavy, sodden mass which
ferments 0he first process OF decay, poison
ing the blood, making it thin, weak and
lacking in red corpusclcs; poisoning the
brain, causing headaches and pain In the
eyes.
Bad digestion irrtates the heart causing
papitaton and finally bringing OH disease OF
this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Brights disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourisnmert and renewal! and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss of appe-
tite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy
complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail TO digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity OF
digestive acids Qactic and hydrochoric) and
peptogenic products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases OF indigestion is to take
after each meal oneo two of Stuart's Dys-
pesa Tablets, because they supply In pleas
ant. harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure blood.
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
