PLAIN, PRACTICAL TALK.
DR.. Dixon did not select any text.
He gave plain, practical talk with
a profusion of sentiment and story il
Illustrations woven in. He spoke of the
young people as great factor in the
church and urged them to assist their
pastor. He argued that there are 9TH
er accessories to an attractive service
than an eloquent preacher and in
speaking of the attendance at the
churches he advocated advertisement,
printed reports such as any business
| house would send out and let the COM
| munity know what you are doing"

young people. He advised the young
| men to cast a pure ballot.
Young men," he said, your going to
put your heel down on a man who re-
| fuses to stop the Sunday ball game;
who has not enough back bone to sign
the decree against it,"
DR.. Dixon then told of boy who was
| tWitted because he weighed but loo
pounds. YES" answered the boy, but
| 95 pounds of it is backbone!" IF our
mayor" said DR.. Dixon Cooked in a
| mirror he would't see 95 pounds of
backbone"

ONE ILLUSTRATION.

"a case in point was the effort to To-
cate on government ground at West
Point a chapel of a certain denomina-
tion. Following that effort the presl-
dent was petitioned to permit the To-
cation Of buildings Of other denomina-
tions on just as large and prominent
plots of ground as the first denomina-
tion referred to. The matter was turn
ed over to the attorney general, who
very properly decided there was not
room enough to 60 all round.

Mona. There's many a slip 'twixt cup

"Young!" repeated Mona, dreamily. "He
is almost too young FOR me-"

something of her former briskness. "He

And so on for half an hour and more.
Mrs. Newburgh was quite talkative; she
arranged her granddaughter's future
household, greatly TO her W satisfac-
ton, and settled the amount of pin money
she ought To have.
At last Mona was set free to

she sat very still, reviewing her brief past,

Boston, Mass, Aug. 7.-AliCe NJ. Bar.
rett, her employers say, was short in
her accounts from S., 800 TO $1,000.
This clears up what little fog there

convinces the firm that the books had
been tempered with by their late book
keeper, Miss Alice Barrett. It Is be-
lieved that the shortage will not exceed
$500 or 5000"
The examination of the books shows
that the money was taken In small
amounts and carefully covered on the
books. She might have gone on i'm this

Gore, how the amounts which she alb

A few days before her death, Mr..

1t was not good news. She did not

knew no one from whom she could
obtain it.. The only thing left for her
was, she argued, suicide. The district
attorney has ordered an inquest on the
