A POPULAR NEW YORK PASTOR

The Church of the Divine Paternity,

ganization in New York, and was made
famous by the oratory of Rev. DIR.
Edward H. Chaplin. It's organization
dates to 1889. The present beautiful
and commodious edifice was erected
in 1897. The pastor of the church is
Rev. Charles H, Eaton, D. D. He Is
an eloquent preacher, and his recent
Sunday evening lectures on subjects
of national interest attracted wide
publicity and large attendance. In
two of his lectures he discussed prob

THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.
Woman Declared to BE In Decision

Woman Declared to BE In Decision
of Federal Court.
The ancient and venerable question
first raised in Adams day, and dis
cussed with more or less vigor by that
gentleman's descendants ever since, as
to who is the head of the house, the
man or the woman, has been settled, it
may be hoped finally, by Judge Pur-
nell of the United States circuit court
The point came up in case in Vir-
ginia, where a woman, a storekeeper,
endeavored to take advantage of the
bankruptcy law, but had her petition
denied by lower court on the ground
that she was married and living with
her husband, she was not the head of
the house. Judge Purnell reversed
this decision and rendered an opinion
to the effect that a married woman liv-
ing with or apart from her husband is
the head of the household in the legal
sense of the term. AS this decision is
rendered in a federal court, 1t applies,
Of course, to the whole country, and
all American women from Puget
Sound to Calais may rejoice that their
status has been fixed beyond further
dispute. Husbands and other mascu-
line usurpers may now step down and
out.

They Were Not Indians.

1t is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians.
The Indians, wise as the Puritans OF
old. decided to apply the water test.
If the accused swan, they were
witches; if they drowned. they were
innocent.

party of Cinnamon approaching a lit

the Cinnamon in midstream. pushed
two of them into the angry, spooming
current below. The test was conclu-
sive. They could not swim. They

How to Detect "A Cheap Shoe.

''It takes a rainy spell to show up
cheap shoe," says a shoe dealer. 1T
can be spotted by an observer on a
rainy day, though it may have come
within an hour from the store. Watch
the feet Of people the next time it rains,
and you can pick out the inexpensive
shoes. A cheap shoe always slips when
the pavements are wet. Artificial stone
pavements especially show them up.
The sole of a cheap, common shoe is
made of imitation leather, composed of
pressed paper. and water softens it and
makes the wearer slide along while
walking. You can always tell a cheap
shoe in this way."-Indianapolis News.

"J. 2. G." was only an enlisted man

whenever he went ashore he carried a
suit of civilians clothes. At YOkO-

felt hat, he passed himself off to a
Japanese coal merchant as the pay
master of the fleet and contracted for
several thousand tons of coal. The
price named was $14 ton.

visit the club tonight, and it is prob
able that l may need a little more
money than have in my pocket. Per

or four thousand dollars on account"
OF course he got what he wanted.

EXPRESSIVE PHRASES.
Those Which Foreigners Coming to

Those Which Foreigners Coming to
America Learn to Use First.
What are the most expressive phrases
in collOquial English? OF the dozens
that slip off English speaking tongues
in the course of a day some must be
better suited for their purpose and
more characteristic of the race that
originated them than others. When
foreigners come to this country, they
catch certain expressions almost imme-
diately and long before they can at
tempt to speak the language have
made them part of their vocabulary.
1t would seem that these phrases must
be the most expressive in English and
that they are peculiar to the language
and "fill long felt want" since for
eigners seize so eagerly upon them.
Every man or woman who lands in
this country is saying, Hurry upv in
two months. In whatever quarter of
the city one may walk, Italian or Ger
man or Jewish, mothers will be dis
patching their offspring on errands, US
ing their native speech, but closing
their orders with the magic Hurry
up!' How delightfully."- characteristic
of the nation is the phrase! 1t is not
to be wondered at that the newcomers
from the slow moving old world find
that they have brought over nothing to
equal it.
"All right rivals hurry up" not
because foreign tongues lack similar
expressions, but because there is a jol-
ly, hail fellow well met air about "All
right lacking in other phrases of the
same character. Then, too, "All right
takes the place not only of Good" but
of ''Yes" and Il understand and of a
dozen other phrases which in other
languages require separate expressions.
The third phrase. which alone shares
the popularity of the first two, is, Its
nice" This should be interesting to
purists who wish to restrict mice" to
its first and original meaning of Eek
act" No word of ancestry sufficiently
aristOcratic to please them takes the
place Of mice" in its colloquial mean
ing, and foreigners clasp it with joy,
wholly ignorant of the fact that they
are outraging the feelings Of anybody
by so doing. Other phrases besides
Hurry up" "All right and ITS nice"
