!, BEFORE BREAKFAST.

While it has been stated, under a
misccnception of the canons, that each
clergyman and each parish has but
one vote in the election of Bishop of
the Episcopal Church in America, on
the contrary, the laity, in all such
cases, like the clergy, vote as indivi-
duals-which is not the rule in the
church when the clergy and laity vote
as seperate orders. In this case, the
election of Bishop, the members of
the convention, clerical ard lay, each
has one vote on each ballot.

Otis Whist club will have a compass

Now draws on the twilight of the
short skirt for the bicycle. 1t must
have been the awful checkered stock
ings that effected the change, but
whatever the reason the skirts have
certainly come down to a decent length
There is no excuse for a woman to
wear bicycle skirt that only reaches
the knee. Many expert riders will
frankly state that when the hem falls
well to the askles it dies not interfere
with pedaling, and now that the fashion
is so decided with regard to a radical
lengthening of the skirt no doubt those
who have been the most conspicuously
attired will feel compelled to adopt the
conventional style. 1t may safely be
asserted that the well-bred American
woman may be trusted every time to
make sensible adaptation of even the
most exaggerated modes.

Interspersed among his recitals of

The bravest of men, he said, fear

this county is generally copied by
some Of our exchanges. which enable
oil men and capitalists to SIZE it and in
turn their agents and representatives
come into our county and spend money

generally happens that we fail to get
any part of the money.
