BACHELOR MAIDS DANCE.

Half of Them Wore Dark Tailor Gowns.
the Rest Evening Costumes.
The bachelor maids of Daytona, Fla,
reached the acme of independence few
evenings ago when they gave a "dove
dance" to their numerous girl friends
The unique feature of the affair was the
absence of the sterner sex.
The girls were divided into two sets
one half, In dark tailor gowns doing the
honors and taking the lead, as It were,
while the other half, in pretty evening
costumes, main tanned their feminine roles
with unwonted enthusiasm. The. mem
bers of the H. II. Y. g. were magnanimous
In rendering the use .of~the clubhouse for
the affair, and 1t was an ideal spot, for It
was Drawing the enemy on his own ground.
AS the enemy, however, had decamped en-
masse, the girls held undisputed sway and
enjoyed to the full extent the pleasures OF
"a night ut the club.
The dainty orders OF dance were OF pale
lavender, with white cords and pencils.
The outside announced 1.-THE Bachelor

A Real Hero.

Each man has his own personal linn
itations, and tits unwise to expect him
or ourselves t. do that which is beyond
our power. The deed for which praise
is bestowed on man may have been
done without much effort on his part,
though ID could not have been done by
rs. On the other hand, that which is
easily and even naturally done by us
may only DO done by another by strenu-
Gus effort and the overcoming OF his
natural inclination. 1t is the soul which
thus puts ~eonstraint upon his natural
temperament who is the true overcomer
and entitled to rank as real hero

American army and navy officers should
be induced to go to China and reorganize

"But this advice, which was also given
by ADLER men than myself, was not fol-

a nerveless, PUPPY mass The government

How the Late Senator Kenna Won Hisi
Wife, Who Survives Him. ''''ss ~
Twas told a curious story the other day
about the late Senator Kenna of West Vir-
ginia, whose statue is to be placed In the
capitol in few days. When he first came
to congress, Mrs. Kearon, who lived In
the same boarding house, persuaded him
to buy ticket in p rattle at a church fair
for cooking stove and a complete kitchen
outfit. His ticket turned out to be the
lucky one and he sent the goods to his
home in West Virginia While he was ar
ranging for their shipment at the railway
station he was introduced to the young
lady who afterward became his wife, and
jocularly invited her to become his cook.
She replied that she would be very glad to
do SO.
The next winter Mrs. Kearon sold Mr..
Kennn ticket in another fair given by
the same church. This time the prize was
plain gold ring, and again he was sue.
cessful He put the ring carefully away
until 1t was needed at his wedding q few
months later, and 1t so happened that his
bride was the first person to use the cook
stove. Mrs. Kenna Is now postmistress at
| Charleston, w. Va, and the legislature OF
that state has decided that its represensa-
| tive in the gallery of statrcs of statesmen
at the capitol shall be the an who won
his wedding ring and - i'chen furni.

Progress and advancement have, been

versary occasions should not only be
spent IN pleasantly reviewing the
achievements Of the past. but also In
looking forward to the duties Of the fu-
ture and In receiving new inspirations
10 grasp and 10 perform them. II
In the: year to come we should do
"for Christ and the church" what needs
TO be done. The topical references sug.
sest several needs, which we should
strive to supply. 81
1.-The work Of Christ and the church
In the world today demands consecrated,
liberal givers. This is taught in the
topical reference In Exodus. Here We
have a. picture Of the children of Israel
making their freq will offerings for the
tabernacle. They all gave. Each one
gave what he had to give. They all
gave willingly. and literally. ALL were
asked to give, whether they had gold,
silver, brass, blue, purple. scarlet, fine
linen or goats hair, and those who gave
the goats hair, when 1t was all they
had to give, We're as much commended
as those who gave gold. silver or pre-
cious stones. The work Of Christ's king
dom today needs money as never before
It has been and is being seriously Grip.
| pied for the lack of money, both at home
and abroad. Christian people have the
money. II they would give as literally
as they are able, there would be super
abundance. Will we do our part in CIV
ingf
2. The work Of Christ and the church
In the world today demands consecrated,
willing workers The Israelites were
not only to give, but to work. Every
wise hearted among you, said Moses,
"shall come and make all that the
Lord hath commanded. Work as well
as money is needed to advance Christ's
kingdom in the world. Consecrated,
willing workers are needed in every de.
lpartment Of Christian activity. Will
we do our part in working?
| 8. Consecrated giving and working
will require self sacrifice. This, how.
ever, should not cause us to hesitate,
Self sacrifice is characteristic Of Chris
tianity. whatsoever he be Of you,'
says Christ, "that forsaketh not all thai
he hath, he cannot be My disciple
duke xiv, 83). Tho opportunities fol
giving and working to effect today arr
wonderful, and we should rise to thes'
opportunities regardless of the cost.
