considered in good taste to conceal
them as far as possible in shoes.
There is very little new in hats, ex-
cept the heads of infants. In golf
suits there are some very fresh things
that will at once catch the eye of the
connoisseur. Tuxedo coats will con-
tinue to be worn without tails, and
business sacks are still somewhat
shorter than frocks On the whole,
however, there is very little variation
from existing styles, certainly not
enough to interest editors and others
with but one suit.

In Darkest Webster.

A strapplng young swain came in
to town the other day ssa huntin for
a pair o marriage license" He was
greatly surprised when informed that
the paper would cost him one dollar
and was not prepared to put up this
amount. However, after ransacking
the town he managed to borrow dol
lar and secured the license. He was
then informed that minister would
tax him at least the same amount for
tying him to the young woman.
Then he began another search for
someone willing to help him out of
this difficulty, but the money could
not be raised. The fellow. offered as
security the hide of a coon which he
had freed as he came to town, and
would kill as he went back. He
s'didn't know whether the preacher
would take coon skins or not, and
would like to have the money! But
he could induce no one to loan, and
started after his coon. Webster

The Eatable Sparrow,

Someone sarcastically suggests that
the most efficient method to extermin-
ate the sparrows.is to apply the game
laws to them. This, of course, is ia
view of the ineffectiyeness of the
game laws to protect better birds from
destruction. We are led by it to con-
slider what has previously been
brought to mind in the sparrow dis
cussion, namely, that the sparrow. as
bird, furnishes excellent eating. 1t
is nearly, if not quite, as edible as
other small birds which have more re-
putation for the table. In point of
fact, it is shrewdly suspected that a
good many sparrows are now served
up under different names, and are en-
joyed by those who think they have
the taste Of the epicure. If the spar
rows could have the value with those
who like delicate bird flesh that their
succulency merits, it might aid essen
TALLY in their determination.

The Vaiue of the Press.

In a recent sermon ON The Press
the Rev. j. H. Craig of Bellevue had
the following words Of appreciation
to say of an institution whose weak
nesses and faults are more frequent
ly dwelt upon than it's virtues:
The press has become our talk
ing machine, voicing the sentiment
of the people ON all matters, which
pertain to our social, political and
religious life. 1t is loyal and, pat
riotic. 1t always stands for the
safety of life and property, the pres.
ervation of our public system, the
protection of the American flag at
home or abroad, ON land or sea, and
the perpetuity of the sold Book as
the unfolding of the most sublime
truths OF the ages. 1t is the glory
of the press that whenever it had
been brought face to face with issues
which pertain to the lifegiving and
vitalizing power of the gospel of
Christ it has always been untiring
in its energy and zeal to defend the
doctrines of the Son of Man.

There is medicine whose propri-

j. g., in New York Evening Sun.
30, gentle spring."
IT'S thus the poets sing
About this time of year
OF you, who are so queer,
So tickle, so previous,
So changeable and devious,
In fact the very deuce
And worthy of abuse.
To-day you're here,
And then you disappear,
You lure us to discard
Our heavy underclothes;
And then it freezes hard
And nips each tender nose.
The weather sharps predictions
Are turned to simple fictions.
When south winds ought to blow
We wade knee-deep in snow.
You are fraud, delusion,
just sent for our confusion;
You're always at the flood,
Your name is Mud.
