Rev. Mr.. Carroll VIII Lecture on
the Subject This Evening.

Rev. 8. ]. Carroll of the Sixth street
NJ. E. Church this evening begins a
series of free Sunday evening lectures
on 'Home-making." His plan is to-
treat the subject in a way to make
the advice given of practical and first
value to young people, and to awaken
and quicken debate of the needs for
happy homes
Thus he. will first consider home
making generally; next choosing a

THE ART OF WRESTLING

Wrestling is essentially a bucoiic sport
II savors of green fields and grassy lawns.
Thus IL IL that one reads so much in the

more champions out of a limited number
