PERHAPS THIS IS He.

A few days ago we noted the
tact that a retired capt. alist refused
TO pay promised fee Of 500 to a
man who found for him a wife
whom the rich old man valued at
half a million, and suggested that
perhaps he was the meanest man.
But there is a man out in Illinois
whose name should % very near
the head of the list, at least. He
was talking with friend about
the presidential election and ex-
claimed "Mckinley will be elected
sure I'd b. I my wife on it."
It SO happened that the other
man had been the husbands friend
since boyhood and both had wooed
the girl whom the husband mar
ried.
And so the one who had been
the unsuccessful suitor quickly re-
piled: "I'll take your bet. Put her
up against my farm"
1t was suggested that perhaps |
the lady should be consulted about |
the matter and her husband wired |
her. She replied ats sure thin
for us. Don't let me stop YOU"
Upon the re ceipt of this telegram
according to the story the agree
ment was signed and the papers
placed in safe.

DUCEMENI IL . BSCRlBERS.
The ATLANTA CONSTITUTION has an
nounced new missing word" contest.

carefully sealed up, and the sentence is

dropped therefrom, which the subscriber
is to supply. Answers are sent by con-
testants as they send in their subscrip-
tons and renewals, both the answer and
the subscription must reach The CoNsTI-
TUITION in the same envelope.
Ten per cent of the contestant subscrip-
lions makeu the prize
This is the sentence for September and
October, 1900:
There are a number of our men here,
among the residents and hidden in the
cloisters; but for fear of the'------'
they do not let themselves be SEEN"
The sentence is selected from a book
whose authors fame is worldwide and
whose works have been read everywhere.
The omitted word is common English
word, and the sentence is to be taken in
all its parts in the meaning ordinarily &C
cepted.
The period covered by this contest,
September and October, 1900 shows over
$4,000 eXpirations for The Weekly Con-
stitution. Of course all these will renew

ton.
Ten per cent. of the Guessers' Subscrip-

other words If this Subscription Fund
amounts to twenty thousand dollars for
the two months, the Fund to go to the

J nation missionnaire'' par excel

En- effet, des 1884 missionnai-

remarques.
D'abord, en- d6pit de tant def

exemple qui avaient etc oblig6s
de recruter leur rare clerg6 au de-

Or, rien ne peut avoir une plus
crosse influence sur lie retour aux

gions Oh elles ont etc presque
abandonn6es pendant un steele, ct,
par une action r6ciproque, ce re-
veil de la fol suecitera encore un
plus grand nombre de vocations.
