way to the sacred precincts SO familiar

roundings. When Mrs. Lawson had
become such a club woman that her
drawing room was in constant requisi-
ton of meetings for all sorts and con-
ditions of women, Gladys had arranged
a little parlor Of her own. 1t was a
quaint apartment, so full of her fads
and fancies that you felt you had been
taken into her confidence the moment
you entered the room. Miniature gar
dens grew in the windows, ivy climbed
adventurously toward the ceiling, the
cut glass bowl on the ODD little table
was overlooking with roses, and holly
berries, the beautiful badge Of Christ
mas, was lavishly scattered every
where.

Only an Ordinary Kansas Wind.

A Wellington. Kan, paper recounts
that man was sitting on a chicken
coop in front of store the other day
when the wind blew the coop out from
under him and let him down on the
ground with a chug. We see nothing
so wonderful about this. Now, if the
wind had blown the coop out from IN

air it might have been worth talking
about.

Unsa tbs factorily Answered,

Five-year-old Dickey had been in
structed that whenever he wanted any
thing he should pray for it. He had
prayed long and earnestly for bicycle
but his father, thinking him too young
to ride one, had bought him tricycle..
When he awoke, on the morning of his
birthday, and found the three wheeler
by his bedside, he was disguised.
Doesn't the Lord know the difference
between bicycle and tricycle?" he
whimpered.

A butcher in Morrisville, VT, kills all

Some idea of the attention that the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad is now pay

from the fact that during the past eight

received thorough and ordinary repairs,
696 being rera;nted. Nearly all of the
equipment is now royal blue, and most
of it is equipped with Pintsch gas, the
Pintsch light being used on local as well
as through trains.

This is one Of the most wholesome
and charming of the seasons new

the wash cloths and the other good
terms with which the story is filled.
Dorothy Deane is a dear little girl, and
the public ought to be much obliged to

course between the better critics of Ma

a knave and fool, and the Apologize
champions who defend and condone his
weakest and least praiseworthy acts
This moderation and fairness is, next
to the accuracy and completeness of
the Life, it's most valuable character
istic. Mr.. Forbes has declined to place
himself in the attitude of either an ally
or an enemy to the late emperor of the
French; he win sit as judge on the
testimony only so far as is necessary
to the intelligent and thorough inter-
probation of the tremendous events he
is handling He never obtrudes him.
