Mean Man's Moan Trick.

Of paper from his pocket, carefully
fold it up. put it in an envelope and
then place the envelope in one OF the
far corners of the drawer Of the library

"Oh. nothing % any Importance" he
replied.
Now. IL he had simply thrown 1t
carelessly into the drawer she would
have thought nothing of it. but the
care he took to put 1t clear over in
the far corner and the fact that he
seemed i'll at ease after he found that
his action had been observed aroused
her curiosity. She wondered what it
was, and she reasoned with herself
that he had said 1t was "nothing of
Importance" so he would have nobody
but himself to blame If she took a
look at 1t. She was justified in in
ferring from his words that there was
no reason why she should not. And
this Is what she read on the paper:
"I'll bet you a new hat your curios-
ity will not permit you to let this
alone"
1t was terrible predlcament In
which to place a woman. How could
she claim the new hat without giving
herself away?

chief points are:

was Judas, for he repented of his sin

of death Is recommended to the MEM
bers Of the sect who wish to part from
this sinful life. (2) Reverence Is due
only to God; that shown to any man is
idolatry. 81 Man being sinful in his
very nature and inclined to induce 9th

To Postpone Old Age.

The latest theory is to apply electricity TO
the base OF the brain. The hardening of the
arteries-the first symphonies followed by a
crumbling away of the brain cells. This pro-
cess produces the mental characteristics of
old age. Not alone does this treatment re-
store the feelings OF youth, but produces the
appearance of it. While hundreds OF expert
ments have been presented, there Is but one
way of prolongng youth, and that is by the
preservation OF health. For this purpose, aud
