The girl cashier Of a Madison street

that when he presented 35 cent check

mat dime and nickel which she had
been holding for change,
How" this man inquired Of him
self, did she know that 3 cents would
be the correct changer There was no
earthly way for her to tell what money
l was going to offer her either. How
did she come to have the exact change
ready without a second delay or with
out having to 60 to the cash register fer
it?" He could not answer 70 his own

On the links of the Island Golf club
at Garden City, n. Y, two men were
having hot game, with success about
even. They were good friends and COM
plimented each other on their good
shots and looked the other way after a
foozle. just as the younger one stepped
upon the tee to drive off for the sixth
hole very swagger cart came spinning
up the road that crosses the links near
that tee. a stunning young woman was
driving. She pulled up sharply near the
tee and called out to the man about to
drive:
= George, dear, won't you come home
now and not delay luncheon?'
The man Strengthened up with an AIR
of disgust at the interruption and re
piled:
Not now. I'm playing the game of
my life.
II wish you'd come, she said.
"No, not now, " he answered. Il III

for 40 luncheons. I'm breaking my roc

"Well, I'll drive up and down here
and wait for you" she said.
AS she started off George, dear, turned
to continue the game of his life. He
sliced his drive and lost the ball in the
blackberry bushes in the ravine. He
dropped new ball and lost one stroke.
Then he topped the ball on the niblick
shot out of the whir and didn't gain
three feet. Finally he got out with
seven and was bunkered in the road
that crosses the field. There he lost two
more strokes and the rest of his temper.
Finally he got out of the bunker and
with beautiful lie used his brassey for
a three quarters iron and overshot the
hole by 30 yards into the tall grass.
There the ball was lost
Ten minutes later the swagger cart
was spinning down the road at the top

1t is with sadness we record the deaths
of Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. X. II. kimball,
which have occurred 7, Gently, Mrs.
Kimball having passed away the Sth,
and he the 20th, of February. Her death
was caused by a parslylic shock which
occurred one week previous, and his by
complication Of diseases natural In old
age. Had he lived until July he would
have been eighty years of age.
Many of US recall with pleasure the
evening, of Nov. 18th, when We met at
the home of Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Kimball,
to celebrate the fifiy-fifth anniversary, Of
their wedding day, and we also thought
If age Is reckoned by appearance instead
of years, Mr.. k,mball is a very young
man now. He was always cheerful, and
pleasant with kind word for everyone.
She WAS more feeble having had slight
shock five years previous which untitled
her for active labor. For thirty-five
years he toled hard in Gods service, and
as the results hundreds of souls will
greet him on the heavenly shore.
Five years ago he bought house in
Mercer village, where he has since lived
working and preaching whenever occa-
sion called, supplying the pulpit here
three years ago. Owing to their feeble
health his brother David and wife
went to live with them last fall, and
they have been tenderly cared for since
by them. We all feel truly two beauti-
ful lives have gone home to hear the

Color of Egg Shells.

The preference for color of egg shells
is peculiar fashion. The English con-
sumers will pay more for a dark shelled
egg, SO will the people of Boston and
some other American cities. but New
York and some of the Western cities pre-
fer white shelled egg,
The dark eggs do not average better in
the slightest degree than the others, and
the pearly white ones are no better from
the color OF their shell, yet the fashion
must be taken into account in raisiug eggs
for shipping into large cities. In catering
to the local wants in small towns color
makes no difference, but size and fresh
