to them.

properly punished for your sinful
pride, Hannah Davis" she said, as
she locked the door of her little room
that night, and hastily took off the
offending dress.
''lt was vanity all the time that
made you do it, and you knew it, but
tried TO sOlye your conscience with
saying it was economy
She spoke rapidly.
'If you was so terribly anxious
about being economical" scornfully,
"why didn't you make over that
magenta delaine? 'Twouldn't have
been half rs becoming, but 'twould
have been just as economical. But
you didn't think of that, did you?" A

She stared hard at the dress.
'And then you are scared into ii
because you was so proud, and pride
is another sin. You didn't want them
to think but what you could buy the
dress and give away money, too. That
makes three sins.
She closed her lips tight, then re-
soutely crossed the room and wrapped
n clean piece of cotton about the neatly
folded dress.
Then she went to the little daven-
port and wrote two notes.
Iuto one she slipped a five dollar
bill, and directed it to the treasurer OF
the missionary society, then she
directed the other to the ministers

The wives of the boatmen and mus
sel-gatherers living in the highly pic
turesque little town of Conway have
just come off with flying colors in Il
municipal contest fought on novel
lines. 1t appears that it has been
their custom for long time past TO
hang their weekly washing out on
lines hung along the quay frontage,
causing an eyesore to the mayor, who
is n gentleman of aesthetic tastes, and
others jealous for the reputation Of
their pretty little town. The mayor
tried in vain to bring the good fish
wives to his view of the matter, and
then warned them that unless the eye
sore was removed he would doit him
self. The next washing day he was
ms good as his word, aud on proceed
ing to the spot cut down the lines.
An exciting municipal contest was in
progress at the time, and the wives of
the quay cottagers went on the war
path. They used their eloquence
against the Conservative candidates
on the mayors side to such good el-
feet that Radical members were re.
turned to all the seats with over-
