A very pleasant socIable was held at the Methodist parsonage, Sandy Hook, Tuesday evening last. Although the weather was threatening, about 35 were present, some coming quite distance to be present. One feature of the evenings entertainment was the guessing of pie lures of great men by the company and also of pictures of tbo,e present, when they were young. Some funny mistakes were made. The picking up of potatoes on teaspoon provoked much mirrh, ss did also the bio owing of an egg shell on 8 table from end to end, or wherever it happened to go, and from some of the moves the shell made it certainly seemed bewitched. Refreshments were served and after some singing the party began to break up. All expressed them.

 The crowds who came to the ED cal sale of Kitchenware goods also inspected the 5c and 10c tables. Lots and lots of visitors took the trouble to tell us that 1t was the incest assortment they ever saw at such little prices-best arranged and easiest choosing. They said they had often wondered why we did not start such feature.
 This department has been in 8 state of than year ago the present plans were outlined and we have been all this time preparing more room and changing things about for the best possible con- venience of our customers. Now we think they are about right. And we also think you'll think so.
 Everything is clean, everything is shipshape. Everything looks as though it has value. New goods are being ad- ded to the collection as fast as we can find what customers want-you can al- most see the bargains grow, they develop so rapidly. We do not confine the as sortment to few lines, but to many-ar- icles that were never found on a 5c and 10c counter before. We are taking the advance steps which are to place this popular feature foremost in the ranks of low price buying.
 You will do wei, to visit this section of the department often and keep in touch wi h it's growth. It will always seem new. Every time you drop in it will look brighter and brighter. Pleasing characteristics will contribute to the sat- iRfsction of buying here. Three different stairways lead down to the busy spot where the collection is assembled. No matter on what part of the main floor you chance to be shopping, there's q air way handy to conduct you to the 5c and l0c section. There's no dreary stretch of space anywhere. Every avenue of trav- el in the store is bright with novelty new ness and seasonableness-manY things for many minds.

THEpEkTH OF CHARLES wAREER

i've are sorry when a good man dies" We remember this quotation from Webster's spelling book as copy when at school. In the death of our honest ueighbor, honest, in the strictest sense of the word, we feel it duty that our t'iend should receive more than "pass- irg notice,'' for a good man has died.
 When we read in THE BEE the eulogv on
 the late Marcus Hawley by the gifted
 pastor of the Congregational church, we
 thought of Milton's tribute to his best Of
 all on earth, and this suggested the
 thought that, when the weather Is in" element and everything shiverirg out side, it is best to shorten the service at the grave as much ss propriety admits. This was done by Rev MT Sawyer. Nows
 in extreme weather it is not fitting that
 short or lengthy eulogies of the livery best of men'' should be given at the funeral, but. we wiah it would become 8 practice of the attending minister, tn say 1 in print, what he audience always like l to hear on these solemn occasions. The virtues of ssthe deceased" as photograph ed by Rev Mr Barker cannot but help us all ta lift ourselves little from tho IsSlough of Deepend."-C*

and could not get out Of the pit. Only
his head was above the surface. His
howls awoke the giant, who came into
the castle yard in haste to see what
was the matter. AT the same instant

The giant was angry at being

The Prince was no more concerned in
this fight than he had been in the bat
tie between the eagle and the serpent
He ran into the castle, through the
doorway that the giant had left open,
and having bolted the door behind him
he jumped into the giants hu~e bed
and went TO sleep. He knew that the
giant would not be able to break down
the castle.

should get into the castle it would be

room
Hearing fierce howls in the castle
yard he climbed up to the window by
a rope ladder which he made by tearing
up some of the bedclothes of Gorbozo.

eff you do not l will get some more
giants and tear the castle down.
IF you come in you will Kill me,
