faction as one point after another
was noted, he turned with the lamp
in hand and lifting it above him,
hung it on an imaginary hook and
returned to walk away when a
crash behind him told of an acci-
dent. There lay a bent mass of
metal pipes, numberless particles
of broken china without form or
beauty. Whether his belief in the
power Of mind over matter was
shocked or whether his faith was
yet too small is not recorded, but
as he disappeared around corner
he was heard to remark, like the
woman who prayed for the removal
of the mountain that did not remove,

Send THE LEADER to a friend,
The Stick Social.

All day Friday the pupils of the
public schools were busy as bees
preparing for the evenings social
at the court house. That they
worked faithfully was evident when
the court house was thrown open
to the crowd of citizens. Ample
decorations beautifed the room
and tables bountifully covered with
oval, paper-covered dishes, from
which stick protruded, covered
the court room. The crowd soon
filled the house comfortably and the
program, consisting of literary and
musical good things, were nicely
rendered. Everyone present spoke
good words for this part of the
entertainment.
Then came the supper-and this
is where the fun appeared. Sticks
were sold for five cents and the
buyer sat at the table and chose
any stick he wished, not knowing
whether it brought pie, pickles or
sandwiches. One gentleman took
his lady to the table and bought ten
sticks for a starter. His first choice
when unwrapped proved to be a
sandwich, his second a sandwich,
his third sandwich and so on TO
the tenth, which was also sand
wich. Another unlucky individual
drew six pieces of pie, another four
dishes of pickles. Each fresh vic
tim took his share of the laugh and
began to trade with his neighbors
to obtain variety.
Social intercourse followed the
supper and all enjoyed the evening
hugely. Nineteen dollars for the
beautifying Of the school rooms
was cleared from the social and the
pupils were pleased in proportion.
