How Eva Sang for the Minister.

a local divine was passing the Sabbath
afternoon Mt the house of one Of his pa
rishioners who lived short distance out in
the suburbs. There was "a bright little
girl in the family, the only daughter of
his host, in whom the clergyman was
much interested.
Would you not like to take walk
with meY' said she, as they arose from
the tcatable. Certainly, when 81 fair a
lady as you, invite me, - he replied.
Donning his overcoat, they passed out
Of the yard and down the lane.
DO you go 20 sunday schooly" asked
the divine Yes, and i know some real
pretty little songs, too. " well, i am
sure avn pleased To hear that. F"
;, . Would you like To hear mo singY'
"Why, certainly" he replied.
The little miss took a step forward, and
TO the horror of the clergyman ana the
delight of seyerala small boys, sang in IA
shrill childish tone, the well known song
"My Gals a Highborn Lady. "
The relief of the clergyman when the
song was finished, was only equaled by
the horror of the young persons parents,
when, after the clergyman had returned
to the city, she related to them how he
had been entertained.

THE NEWS SELF EDUCATOR FEAT.
IRE

For the purpose OF affording to those in
the community who have not had tho
advantage of business education, The
News has arranged for the publication of
series of articles, which will cover a
practical business college course.
Commencing with a series of 12 terse
articles on the mysteries of successful bust
ness, and covering practical and COM
prehensive analysis of approved business
forms and methods, edited 10y the Honor
able Edward wemple, ex-comptroller of
the state of New York, the Self Educator
Feature will stand unequallod in the
annals of journalism and civilization.
The next feature on the program is a
course of twenty practical lessons on
bookkeeping, edited by W. Fitzgerald
Smith, an accountant of national and
worldwide reputation and standing.
The growing and universal demand for
working knowledge of shorthand will
be provided for by series of twenty
comprehensive lessons in stcnography,
which will enable any person of ordinary
intelligence to become proficient in that
science.
Never before In the history Of journalism
did a newspaper undertake such grand
and popular educational movement for
the advancement OF civilization and pros
perity of the people in It's field.
The vast army of young and middle
aged men who are at present unemployed,
or who are performing mere manual
labor because they have not the necessary
business qualifications TO enable them
to fill more rcmuncrative positions, will
he greatly benefited by availing them.
selves Of the advantages OF The News
Self Educator Feature.
No person entering upon or started in
a business or professional career will fail
to be Interested i'm this valuable and
instructive series Of articles.
Believing that the successful newspaper
should be "a popular educator of the
masses, ~ The News has, at great expense,
arranged for the exclusive publication
of these articles.
The News hopes that its Self Educator
Feature will impart TO thousands, who
cannot afford the time or the money TO
procure business college education from
a business college, such knowledge, as
TO enable them to make their efforts moro
successful and profitable.

Said Chairman Barstow at the Infantry
Hall meeting last evening: Nearly
two years have passed since an indigna-
tion meeting was held here in this hall,
after certain action in our city govern
ment OF which this meeting is an oat-
growth. The speakers here tonight tell
you what we hope TO accomplish, what
has been accomplished ana what we yet
need TO do.
But actually the speakers only told
what they hoped 90 accomplish, or at
least what the pretended hope was. What
they had 10 say as to what had been ac-
complished was sadly lacking in import
ant particulars Mayor McGuinness, for
instance, elected 20 Office To put down

his hearers that within less than yea
and half Of his administration the tax
rate has been twice raised, unnecessary
expenses, due 20 poor business methods,
have been incurred and the city debt
has been increased by the unprecedented
figure OF two millions and half of
dollars

THE NEWS STORIES.

The continued stories with daily in

The News for nearly two years now, and
which for some time have been uniformly
"Six Day Serials, 'were never better than
they have been since the new year opened
and the promise from this time to the end
Of June Is particularly attractive.
These stories are all original with The
News and the several newspapers that are
joined together in syndicate for their
simultaneous purchase and publication.
They are fully protected by copyright.
No magaziRe presents n more noteworthy
has been able to offer 10 the readers of
the newspapers engaged in the enter
prise. Not only popular names, but
stories that are a credit to the respective

nent publishing house uses these stories
after their original public by the
syndicated newspapers for its monthly
magazine issue but The News readers
get them at first hands.

IL is plainly so in this particular case,
Colonel Goddard. The Goo-Goo move
ment Is of no earthly use TO you or TO any
body else except the handful of small poll
ticians who are engineering It, Your
afllliation with the movement gives it an
artificial strength. It Is because so many
of your fellow-citizcns have confidence in
you that they are disposed to applaud the
Goo-Goo party. II you should turn anar-
chist or speak in ths affirmative on the
question: Resolved, that the moon is made

would follow you solely on your own per-
sonal guarantee
If the Goo-Goo party adds to its record
of successes sufficiently, you may be sorry
sooner or later that you command the
confidence ana applause that you do at
this time. For you surely would never,
with intention, lead your fellow-citizens
astray or permit their confidence In you
to be misplaced.

The Chap Who Was the First Buyer.

The Rounder hooked the reporter under
the arm and drew him toward little
group of men surrounding street fakir

over the tops OF the heads Cf his immo-
dinte audience To attract the passorsby

Come with me-, said the Rounder,
"and I'll show you which one OF that
crowd will mako the first purchase.
The fakir had shoe blacking for sale.
He would rub the backing on an old
shoe with daubcr and polish IL up with
the palm of his hand. The desired shine
was secured with marvellous quiokneSs
and n curious thing w2s that the black
ing did not soil his hand. Lest the group
assembled should feel that the old shoe
polished easily by reason of frequent
sample shines, the fallir put on To it the
contents of a whole box of the backing,
making pile of backing half an inch
thick and then he rubbed up shine ON
that still without soiling the hand. IL

The man in the brown Derby had n
position close to the fakir and he was
apparently deeply Interested in the DEM
onstration ana the eloquent explanation
OF the remarkable qualities of the black
ing. He looked like "A man sorely tempted
To buy but endeavoring tn resist the temp
tation for fear nc could make better use
of "a dino than devote it tn blacking IN
these nard times. So after n time, as the
fakir approached the climax of his re-
marks the little man started 10 90 away.
He did not go, however, but hung on 60
the outskirts of the crowd. The fakir
closed his talk and looked around for IA
purchaser. The men in the crowd looked
at one another I'm u shamefaced sort Of n
way as if to escape the eagle glance of the
fakir bent on selling them his wares.
Finally the little man in the background
pulled "a quarter from his pocket with a
reluctant motion, as If IL We're his last
piece of money, pushed his arm through
