"It is most gratifying that no industry or

A Religion. Compromise.

A certain governor of Rhode Island
who lived in Newport and was a MEM
ber of the Congregational church, mar
ried woman who was a Baptist, with
out any understanding as to the ar
rangement of religious matters. The
first Sunday morning after the mar
riage the Pair started out at church
time together. They walked side by
side as far as the corner of Church and
Spring streets, where their accustomed
ways to church diverged, and there
they stopped. He stood with little
dogged leaning toward his church, she
with the same leaning toward hers.
''Well, wife," said the governor, (which
way shall we go?" She made no an
swcr, nor did she make any sign of 60
ing his way. The governor looked up
at the beautiful spire and CHEEKY door
of Trinity church, under the shadow of
which they stood. "Ha!" said the gov
ernor, ''let's throw up both our
churches and go in here!" And into
Trinity they went, and were devout
Episcopalianse ever after.-Boston Tran
script.

HOW HE KNEW 1T.
The Witness Was Compelled to Con.
fexs His Own Guilt.

The Witness Was Compelled to Com
fess His Own Guilt.
In the days when the old Sunday
School board" of police commissioners
was determined to break up gambling
i'll this town poker game was raided.
Among the witnesses ior the state was
Il man who is now casual figure OIL the
st. Louis turf. After the oath had been
administered to him and he had an
swered the usual preliminary questions
he was told to tell his story.
game had been going on all after
noon when the ex-gamblcr joined a
half dozen men who were comparative
strangers to him. For awhile things
ran on evenly. then the proprietor of
the room began to win heavily.
II watched him." deposed the wit
ness, "and became convinced that he
was cheating. 1t did not take me long
to feel sure of it, and drew out of the
game. sat back and watched him, and
saw him deal big hands to the man he
wanted to beat, but lie always dealt
himself bigger ones. I tell you, Judge,
it was scandalous. He stacked the
SnAuo hAu AcIu lllcIII OuU uuu Olu lOtS
of disreputable things. Now, saw this
with my own eyes, and. while like to
sit in a game of poker now and then,
l detest cheating above all thi7fgs.''
"Wait a moment" said the prosecnt-
ing attorney. "What made you first
think that cheating was going on?"
The witness fidgeted bit in his chair,
then said: "Why, was in pot with
this man, and when it came to show
down he held four kings"
"And why did that convince you that
he was cheating?"
Observation-Disclosures" stammered the
witness, getting red in the face and
short of breath.
"Answer the question, sir!" thun-
dered the judge.
Another wave of scarlet swept over
the dough-faccd countenance of the
chief witness. "2ecause," he finally
mumbled, II knew he was cheating, be-
cause he showed four kings, and at the
same time I was holding out two kings
for the next hand!'-St. Louis Re-

Dainty Coffee Pots.

The prettiest, most attractive and
daintiest things in the way of coffee
pots are the little brass French coffee
pots, exactly the shape of the head of a
good-sled mallet, and with the addi-
ton of tiny little nose and short
straight handle at the side. This cof-
fee pot stands on its head to open, the
coffee is put in between the strainers,
the water follows, the two parts are
screwed together, it is righted, and the
coffee drips through in the most ap-
proved French fashion. The wife of a
well-known New York artist makes cof-
fee in one of these little coffee pots
every morning. Chicago Tir,es-Herald.
