Or R. r PDwELL's BIG SCHOOL
Has Made Wonderful Progress Since
II Opened two Months Ago.

The Allegheny Instituse I'M
der the skillful management of
r. r. Powell and Floyd w. King has
made wonderful progress since Its
opening two months ago. 1t has en-
rolled to date ninty-tYe students,
and it will likely reach the hundred
mark by Christmas.
This school has grown upon our
community simply because of It's
merit, its thorough work and splen-
did dicipline. 1t offers to our people
a rare opportunity for the education
of their children at small cost, and
upon easy terms.
Teachers OF skill and experience
seem to have been chosen for special
work, as the success in each depart
ment Of the school bears high testi-
mony to the scholarly attachments
and efficiency Of those in charge. We
trust that the people of Clifton Forge
will appreciate this excellent school
and bring TO its support such aid as
will establish it here as firmly as the
very hills that overshadow our town.
To this end they should give to it
liberal patronage, high moral sup
port and fail not to meet promptly
their obligations when due. Upon
this especially depends the success OF
every business, and the sooner a COM
munity learns this fact, the sooner
will high success be obtained in every
enterprise in that community and
greater the benefits derived. Let our
people keep these things in mind and
thus give to the management of this
excellent school their best efforts for
its permanent establishment and
maintenance. 1t will then build up
the educational interests and prove a
great blessing to our town-the one
thing needful.-Clifton Forge, tVa.,l

BY jealousy Of Rival.


Miss Maud Mayfield, domestic in
the Stephenson family at Salem until

she is not lunatic. She very frankly
admits that she has a bad temper.
She claims that jealousy on the part

phenson the past three months. A
week ago ne secured her another posi-
tiun and she left the Stephenson home.
She asserts that her rival desires to
get her out Of the way so that she may
have all the young mans attentions,
Miss Stephenson on the other hand
asserts that Miss Maytield threatened
to XIII her, and, believing her TO be In

Valuable Building Suggestions.

A great many business buildings are
woefully unsuited for the use to which
they are put. Poor lighting is the
most common defect; bad ventilation
is another. The firms whose places Of
business are free from these drawbacks
possess immensely superior advantages
from a commercial point OF view.
In the instance OF private residences,
the need OF high, degree Of trained
skill and taste on the part Of the arch
itect is even more imperative. More
than half ones time is spent within
the walls OF his own dwelling. II he
desires to be happy therein, no effort
should be spared to make 1T truly a
''homen---a place where comfort and
beauty shall be present at every turn.
How .aany residences one sees to
which Mark Twain's witty criticism
is applicable: Its sort Of Queen
Anne in front and Mary Anne be-
hindl" In architecture as in other
things, good intentions are not enough
to ensure success. When natural and
acquired skill, extended experience
and trained taste are lacking, the re-
suits achieved must necessarily be
mediocre.
Such ideas and suggestions as we are
able to give arc at your service. We
shall be pleased to submit sketches
free of compensation to those contem-
plating building.

ent speech, she laid her head on his
shoulder and found refuge in tears.
"Never mind, Dear; the Lord will
provide; then he slowly added, as
IL in an afterthought, some way"
A few minutes later Pastor Norwood
was bowling to the organist, who Slip
ped check in his hand and said prop
erly, with the compliments of the
choir" Just as they were seated, the
door bell rang again, and this time the
Junior League marched en- masse and
the astonished minister stood speech
less with check in either hand. Then
the older League came, and pres
emily the Ladies' Aid, and last of all
the trustees, all adding their offerings
and crowding the small rooms. Each
party looked stiffly askance at the
others, wondering by what trickery
their secret had become known.
After an hour of discourse and song,
the treasurer arose and said:
"a few days since our pastor had
received but mere pittance for many
months of faithful labor While he
had wrought earnestly for the church
and it's societies, so that, for the first
time in years, all were in a prosperous
condition, he unselfishly forgot his
own needs. No, no! Brother Nor
wood, you must permit me to finish.
Then one society and another,by some
strange coincidence, conceived the
thought of giving the pastor pleas
ant Thanksgiving surprise. 1t is need
less to say that we have surprised each
other quite as well. But best Of ALL
find that in the few days of uncon-
scious cooperation, we have increased
the amount paid on salary to just five
hundred dollars. This shows what we
can do if we all work together. I
move you as congregation, that We
increase our pastors salary from six
hundred to eight hundred dollars a
year.
1t was carried with a rush, even
Brother Cook asserting. Pastor Nor
wood arose, and with tears of joy
trickling down his cheeks, thanked
them simply. Some said they sung
the doxology as never before; at least
there were two voices that rang out
with a new inspiration of faith.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?"

good time while making the pastor
happy. 1t would be easy to prepare
something extra while getting ready
for Thanksgiving. 1t was to be a
grand secret; not a soul but members
OF the society should know word of
it.
At the close of the business meet
ing Of the Young Peoples League, the
president made close scrutiny to as
sure himself that all present were
members; he then proposed that, as
"They would not do anything" the
League take up the matter.
81 understand that we have nearly
sixty dollars in the treasury; we could
pay the pastor S48.50-bring the sal
airy UP to s100-and have enough left
to pay all bills and begin the new year
out of debt. If we do this I suggest
that We observe the utmost secrecy
and make it complete surprise" All
readily agreed to the plan and pledged
the proper reticence in the matter.
Four OF the most faithful met after
prayer meeting to discuss the situa-
ton, and decided that they must at
once collect $24S.25, the balance nee
essary to pay the six months salary
due. This they proceeded to do so
quietly that no one surmised a gen.
eral canvass was being made. Before
Sunday the entire amount was secured.
Friday, after school, the Junior
Leaguers met and decided that mas
much as the grown up folks would
not help in the matter, they would do
what they could; so they voted to pay
over every bit there was in the
treasury. Upon counting $29.25 was
found to be the correct amount.
ooh, girls!" cried Lottie Newman,
as she made some figures in the treas
urer's book, "It will make just even
SIS and hope we can get enough to
make 1t a hundred"
After the choir had run over the
Sunday hymns, someone proposed that
they pay the proceeds of the last con-
cert on the salary. The sum of s3O.25;
after referring to the margin of his
anthem book, the chorister reported
that 1t would make sS2 all told. On
Thanksgiving morning they would
call at the parsonage and surprise the
pastor with a check for this amount.
Perhaps 1t would somewhat atone for
the sin of whispering during the SER
mon.

for the Norwoods. The baby was sick
the night before and kept them
awake; and when they did get to

"If no one else will do anything, we
must" rejoined Mrs. Allen; the vari-
GUS members nodded approval.
1t was soon planned. The pastor

him $9S25-make it even $150--and
have enough left in the treasury for

Days of festival thanksgiving have
been. celebrated for many centuries.
Under the old Mosaic law the Hebrews
held an annual harvest festival under
the trees and in tents OF palm. The
German Protestants have an annual
Harvest Home" festival, accompanied
by religious services. and this custom
was brought to America by the early
Dutch immigrants.
Thanksgiving for us today is a time
for rejoicing that life has been spared
to us and that We have escaped many
dangers, overcome many trials and en-
joyed many pleasures during the last
year. 1t Is also a time when we
should remember kindly those who
have been less fortunate and should
put forth some special effort to make
them happier.

Where the crook-necks are coiling ana

When the gray-haired New-Englander

The old broken links of affection restor-

When the care-wearled man seeks his

What calls back the past, like the rich

When wild, ugly faces we carved in its

Gently come to the village, had made
financial statement that October
Sunday morning, upon which certain
persons felt very much soandalized.
Such a thing had never been done be-
fore-not even thought Of; then it re-
vealed the fact that the Reverend Wes-
ley Norwood had received but S51.75
for six months of faithful service.
Il don't believe in bringing up such
matters in the religious services OF
the church." growled Brother Cook,
who always protested that it was a
waste of money to pay the minister SO
much salary.
Il quite agree with you" responded
Mr.. Barnes. He was not member OF
the church, but attended because 1t
was a respectable thing to do-gave
you standing. 'If these things must
come up every Sunday. shall attend
church elsewhere"
Notwithstanding this, it was gener-
ally agreed that it was shame. and
something must be done. But when
things had gone in a haphazard way

right about. After several weeks OF
deliberation. the necessary something
