Watsonss Note Was Busineaa-Liko.
But 1t Didn't Swift,
Watson was sitting at his desk one
evening When his wife said:
my dear, will you send note to
Sylk & Satin and tell them that must
have the five yards of lining that l
bought there yesterday. They said
they'd send it right away, and 1 must
have It tomorrow, for the dressmaker
will be here the next day."
So Watson wrote as follows:
"Messrs. Sylk G Satin: Will you
please send at once the five yards of
lining my wife purchased at your store
yesterday?"
LET me see what you have written?"
said Mrs. Watson.
oh, dear!" she said, after reading
it, that isn't half positive and definite
enough. They'll pay no attention to
that. I'll sit down and write to them
myself"
And this was what she wrote:
"Messrs. Sylk G. Satin: You will re-
member that I was in your store at
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning Cor
~,
l purchased five yards Of percaline for
dress-lining. One of the salesladies at
the lining counter will remember about
it, The one l bought it of was tall
and slender, with dark eyes, and
remember that she had on red silk
waist trimmed with black velvet and
red and green plaid skirt. She will
remember that l purchased the lining
OF her and she promised me that it
would be sent sure to-day. It has not
come and it would not make any par
hcular difference, only that my dress
maker is coming day after tomorrow
and she will need the lining the first
thing, and cannot go to work without
1t. and her engagements are such that
she cannot come to me any day but
day after tomorrow and the next day,
SO II the lining should not come ii
would put~her back SO that she could
not finish the dress. and l cannot get
her again for nearly month, and l
simply must have the dress by the last
OF next week, and | am too busy tc
| come downtown tomorrow and get
| the lining. The sclesady l spoke OF
| with the red silk waist waist will be
sure to remember about it, and l told
| her just why and wnen wanted it and
! she promised me that it would be sure
| to come. OF course it may come be-
fore you get this, and if so it will be
! all right, but simply must have it be-
| tore the dressmaker gets here, for she
will want to go to work on the skirt
| the first thing and she cannot if she
| does not have the lining Please send
| 1t right away. m

General Booths Trip.

The greeting given the veteran lead
err of the salvation Army at every
place in the United States where he
stops is good indication that the dis
integration OF this band of loyal work
ers is not thing of the near future.
Hundreds OF soldiers and officers from
surrounding towns gathered at Kan
sas City last Sunday to see and hear
the general and give him by word and
presence an attest of their continued
loyalty.
The sphere of the Salvation army is
hmitless, but its principal mark lies in
the dark shadows of the alleys, far re-
moved from the lighted roads that lead
to the rich temples of God. The en-
thusiasm that led men and women into
it wears we'll. 1t is not pleasant-pot
even now after the jeers of the rabble
and the ridicule of the crowd have
died away. The Salvation Army work
ed hard to win its way with the people,
and, having won the recognition de-
manded, there Is no reason WHY it
should not continue to perform much
good work.
General Booth, whose trip is to eX-
tend from coast to coast, will find dur
ing his stay in this country that his
disciples are not losing in number, in
fiuence nor effect.-Phoenix Republi-
can.

Too Much Education.

Indianspolis.-Dr. Fowler, an east
ern man, who, in come ction with Rev
Joseph Smith, is holding ten days
revival in tae Central Avenue Method
ist church, read a paper before a meet
ing of Methodist ministers of this city
this morning which stirred them up
remarkably. He charged that the
church is looking too much toward
wealth, social position, and paying too
much attention to education. He said
that If the Methodist church did not
return to the ways of their fathers it
would soon cease to be the church of
the masses.
Most of the ministers had q shaft out
for DR.. Fowler before he had finished
his paper. DR.. Smith was given time
to express his views, and he stirred
things up worse than ever by declaring
that ten days revival was all the
average church could stand, that being
all the semi-dressed choir and the av-
erage preacher would submit to. Rev.
Mr.. Biddle then declared that the effect
of revivais was not lasting, anyway.
Others held that the church was prac-
ticalIy supported by the upper ten, and
they are always ready to help the
church, and should not be harshly crit
icised. When the meeting closed all
the ministers surrounded newspaper
men, and begged that they be not
quoted.

for young men of zeal and industry.
and inquired as to the trend of religious
thought here.
The library overlooked thi, lawn.
Mr.. Spurgeon collected many books
that had been written by eminent the
ologians, and the autograph of each
was pasted on the fly leaf. Calvin,
Melancthop, Baxter, Doddricge, the
Hedges, Jacobus and. othsrs figured on
the shelves. The comments on the
standing Of each of the world of letters
were pithy and striking. He was at
this time working on his commentary
on the Psalms" To this end, several
shelves were filled with books were
psalm as it was studied in turn. When
a spain was completes, the books
removed aud others b airing upon the
next psalm were obtained. In one
corne r of the library were large port
folios and scrapbooks, in which were
kept the caricatures of him> elf from
the illustrated papers, which were
virulent in the early days of his minis
try.
This naturalness of the man, with
ont any condescension on his part, at
tached these students to him with
hooks Of steel. Is not this one of the
reasons of this pre- .cher's wonderful
popularity, his humility amid the
high ard lofty position which he oc-
cupied?
His head was never turned. H.
was still a man of the people. E., dove d
with remarkable gifts as an orator and
an administrator, he sought out the
lOwltest and the humblest, that there
by he might brighten lives and give
new impulses for pobler living.

were so greatly disappointed that they
allowed him to preach with much re-
greet. But the hoy from Cam bridg e"
proved himself a man, and the evening
service found the house crowded. So
marvellous was the effect of these SER
vices that the officers would not let the
young man depart until they received
from him definite promise that he
would return.
Thus two years before his majority
the ''boy preacher" entered upon the
most wonderful success ever achieved
by any preacher. His church was too
small to hold the crowds seeking ad
mt auce; the building was enlare ed,
but it was soon crowded to suffc cati Old,
and even the Royal Music hall, hold
ing $4,000 persons, was thronged. It.
of St. Paul's Cathedral should come,
at his death, these words from an
archdeacon: '.Spurgeon was Enelau d s
greatest living preacher"
Three thousand of his sermons have
been published, and the weekly pu Bill
cation can be continued for twelve
years. He established and conducted
a PASTORS collefe, founded an orphan
age, edited a monthly magazine, wrote
Gus othe r benevolent ents rprises. He
died in 1892. aged SO years.
MIR. Spurgeon was certainly most
unprepossessing man in appearance.
He was below the medium height,
stout, his short hair brushed back
