trations, reviews, aids, suggestions, etc,
for class use, and are admirably adapted
for the purpose designed. The entire ex-
pense is only 1913 per year, which covers
the cost of the lessons. Further informa-
tion in regard to the class conducted by
the Rev. Mr, Collins will be gladly fur.
nished by him, the above being only a

The Bss. Data He Could Give.

1 have q friend who is connected with
one of the large shoe stores of the city. A
day or two ago he was called to attend
to the wants of a customer, and his
first question brought out the fact
that the man wanted pair Of shoes.
OF course my friend next inquired the
size, and thereby hangs this tale. The
customer looked dumfounded for a
minute, but he was not to be faxed by
such a simple question, and finally he
blurted out: -.,.ts ,
"Wa'al, don't know egzactly, but I
wear q fifteen and half collar"
He did his best, but my friend was not
sufficiently posted in the relative pro-
portion of ones neck and feet, and SO
had to make a guess at the size required,
and try different pairs until he had
found the proper fit. - Springfield

right and wrong and in their mad desire,
