People do not often make the mis-
take of giving 900 much. A certain
woman who not long ago entered a
Glasgow church was an exception to
the rule-at least she thought so. She
passed the collection box at the door
and dropped in sixpence. Then she
took her seat in the church and waited
until the preacher appeared.
To her disappointment the officiat-
ing minister was not the DIR. ii. whom
she had come TO hear. On inquiry she
found that she had entered the wrong
church. Ii was not yet too late TO hear
the preacher of her choice. but the six
pence was another matter. To leave
it in the box would be clear loss The
woman was equal to the occasion.

mirree. nave peen strengthened since
their recent contests. in all of which
they were triumphant. and there is not
the ghost of a show for the insurgents
of the Finn Martin school to make
any headway in this locality The Re-
publican committee of Northumber-
land met last Saturday and fixed upon
the dates upon which the conventions
shall be held. The meeting was en-
firely harmonious. and the stalwarts
were in undisputed control of the situa-
ton. They decided that the conven-
ton to name the delegates TO the state
end national conventions shall be held
on April q next. and the convention 70
nominate candidates for the general
assembly on Aug. 27. W H. Woodin.

delegate from this county. This dis
trict will be carried by an Overwhelm-

YORK'S REGULARS SANGUlNE.
Another situation which gave no en-
couragement TO Mr.. Finn is presented
in York county. Here supporters of
the regular state organization have
been setadily growing stronger every
wear. They have twice beaten James
A. Dale, who is again mentioned for
delegate to the national convention.

On the Welsh border il used TO oe
considered that the surest precaution
against witchcraft was TO wear the
left stocking wrong side out. This
leads us TO another kind OF superstition

tionS against sickness or pain. II you
