spiritualist Camp Meeting.

The daily average attendance at the
Spiritualist camp meeting at Maple
Dell Park, Mantua Station, O., has
steadily increased Notwithstanding the
heavy rains which have prevailed most
of the time. Last Sunday the large
audiences we're addressed by Hon. 0.
P. Kellogg and Mrs. Nellie S. Baade.
Mrs. Baade gave such satisfaction at
Maple Dell on her first engagement
last summer that the management
soght return engagement in response
to the popular demand. She is just
entering her sixth year as pastor of the
Spiritual Philosophical Society of De-
troit, and in addition to her lectures
gives psychic readings both pubic and
private.
The management of this camp have
the Mantua band under engagement for
every Sunday during the season and
they haze been filling their part of the
program in very creditable manner,
Next Sunday the Garrettsville band
will fill special engagement and give
a concert for an hour and half.
For more than third of century
the Spiritualists of this vicinity have
observed the first Sunday of August
each year as yearly meeting, or An
niversary day. Next Sunday will be
the thirty-seventh of these celebrations
and a special program, to include some
of the most prominent orators and
mediums in the country, is being
arranged. On next Saturday evening
Golden Giant Mine" will be presented
under the management of Mr.. and Mrs,

OUR GIRLS AND BRlToNs.

Why American Maidens Are Tempted to
Wed stolid Englishmen.
Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate JUS
tifcationf Do you suppose il pays her,
and can such choice on her part be
defended on large grounds as promotive
of the greatest good Of the greatest
number? Is 1t a fact, as has been flip
PANTY suggested, that she moves to
England to get country life because we
have no good roads here yet, or, on the
contrary, can it be demonstrated that
one reason our country roads are so bad
is that the American girl cannot abide
the country and promptly carries her
man of to town at the earliest moment
that sees his endeavors blessed with
the necessary income? Is it her fault
that country interests tend too much to
fall to the care of residuum that is
too poor to get away, or has the ooun-
try life not much to do one way or the
other with her British propensities?
To be honest, there are other con-
ceivable reasons for marrying an Eng
lish gentleman besides his country
roads. He may be charming gentle
man-they are said to be SO once in
awhile-who can win wife by.plain,
personal courtship, and whom any wom-
an would be justified in marrying on
general principles and without specific
excuses, or he may be good "aver-
age" sort Of man whose advantage
over his American brother is matter
Of size or complexion or hale appear
ance. / have known American women
who ventured to assert that the femi-
nine eye reioiced more in the type of
male human that treads the pavements
Of Picoadilly and Pail Mall than in the
contemporaneous pedestrians Of Fifth
avenue and Broadway.
Or maybe it is his superior stolidity
that electrifes In the Briton. 1t is to
be feared tnat there Is truth i'll that tale
Mr.. Kipling or somebody was telling
Of how phlegmatic merchants Of the
east had discovered that the way to
beat the American was simply to put
him off and let him fret himself reok-
less. Stolidity is not quite the same as
repose, but to persons who are suffering
from an acute dearth Of repose 1t may
appeal as tolerable substitute, so that
one can imagine an American maid,
worn with the restless aspirations Of
her high pressure countrymen, turning
with sincere relief to pillow her fair
young head upon bosom behind which
lurked no threat Of heart failure. -

QUEER LIBRARY FREAKS.
Funny Requests For Books That Anus

Funny Requests For Books That Amuse
and Amaze Employees.
Once in awhile the clerks in the pub
lie library get hold Of good joke
through the ignorance Of people who
come there to take out books. 1t was
not long ago that woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters Of the
American Revolution came there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee on membership. She went
about it in rather queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through tho in
dex for time she discovered LOSING 8
Family History of the United States. I"
She wrote her request for the books on
one of the cards provided for that pur-
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted.
1t was not long after this incident
that another woman, who, from her
dress and appearance, the clerks thought
might be literary, wrote on one Of the
cards request for "The Autocrat Of
the Breakfast Table.
'Holmes' 'Autocrat, do you want?"
politely asked the clerk.
"Oh, / don't care whose it is" was
the reply. II only want to find out If 1t
is proper to use toothpicks at the break
fast table"
Another request for magazine which
the applicant said was called Brain
kept one of the clerks busy hunting half
an hour before he discovered that what
was wanted was the magazine called
Mind. Still another clerk was shock
ed the other day by a request for Wash
ington Irving's Alabama. The clerk
mildly suggested "Alhambra. "-Chi-
