It takes religion with sunshine in il

Some very large trees bear very little

Winking at sin will soon ruin the

A wolf in sleeps clothing is none

The rest OF Christ is for all who will
give up sin.
Every temptation resisted is trou.

Nothing is gained by starving the

No man who truly follows Christ ever
has to stand alone.
Every man helps the devil who talks

When you pray don't forget those

The best news ever told in this world

MISTAKE IN DELIVERY
Customer Lost Because of the Mer-
chants Versatility.

chants Versatility.
Queer things happen in suburban towns,
where the residents have a way OF utilizing
means at hand utterly regardless OF the con
sequences. Mrs. Simpson, a notable mouse,
wife who lives in one of these terrestrial
paradises, recently feplsnished her stock OF
household furniture at the only depart
fiient store in the place and ordered the
purchases sent home that sfternoon when
she would be there to reteiss them.
She was in a particularly happy frame gi
mind as she sat at her front window, waten'
ing for thci+ arrival, remarking with salls,
faction the vacant plness the new furniture
would adorn, when an undefshters wagon
drove up and stopped in front OF her aoor
and a solemn looking driver in rusty black
descended from the front seat and rang ner
bell She did not lose a moment IN raising
the window and calling to him IN fright
ened voice:

distressed woman; ''the. idea of bringing my
goods in an undertaker's wagon"
1--WE hadn't another vehicle in the barn
and you said you wanted it right off, re
sponded the man as he drove away.
But the man of many callings who had
utilized the last conveyance in his establish

good will of customer who did not qppre-

A ROYAL Love Match.

The marriage of the prince of Wales
and Princess Alexandra of Denmark is
generally believed to have been love
match. When young man the prince
was travelling in Germany with his tn.
tor. Among other places they visited
the old cathedral city of Worms-a city
which every Wagnerian enthusiast
makes a point of visiting for the sake
of it's cathedral, which figures in the
"Niebelungen Lied" AS the prince and
his tutor walked up the aisle of the
cathedral they heard sounds of steps
behind them. Turning, the prince saw
a young girl enter as beautiful as the
princess of any fairy tale, with deli
cate rose-pink complexion and brown
hair full of sunlight. When she spoke
the voice was hushed and gentle. AL.
exandra, princess of Denmark" muir.
INJURED the tutor. This was indeed the
first meeting of the prince and princess
of Wales, and it is asserted that the
impression made upon the prince was
an immediate one, and the princess at
once associated the English stranger
with the Lohengrin of her girlish
dreams.-Atlanta Constitution.

Plaid neckties hre still worn and belts
are very elaborate, of narrow leather
embeilished with smoked pearl and
steel. Belts of oxFlized steel, set with
emeralds, are also popular.
Parisians are attempting to force on
rs furs treated with appliques of col
ored velvet, braid and jet, but they are
not becoming favorites.
Sealskin coats this winter must have
the collar and cuffs lined with ermine
or white broadtail. Muffs are long. mar
