a pair of skates for boy cousin, and
various other things for divers other

pipe and a pound of his favorite smok-

laid it away.
The day before Christmas was a
never-to-be-forgotten time for the
Rev. Mr.. Stanwix. Slippers Just came
down on him like an Egyptian plague.
Along about four o'clock Stanwix
piled half way to the ceiling-and had
to put a chair out in the hall and sit
there with an atlas of the world in his
lap writing his Christmas sermon ON
it. Mighty tough sermon it was, too,
and got tougher as the slippers contin-
ued to arrive. Fact is, he was getting
pretty mad; and every new pair sent
his temperature up five degrees. Con-
sequently. at ten o'clock he was just
boiling. OF course he couldn't swear,
but the way he tramped up and down
that hall and ground his teeth really
amounted to the same thing. The
arriving slippers now began to fall OF.
For ten minutes nothing came, and he
was just starting down to ask the
landlady II she couldn't put cot in
the hall so he could go to bed, when
in came another box. 1t was from
Jane-just her luck. OF course, to be
late and strike him when he was all
worked up to the bursting point. But
here and leave the poor man alone a.
he opens James box.
It was not more than half-past nine
the next morning when the Rev. Mr..
Stanwix mounted the Wilkinson steps
and tugged at the door bell. He asked
for Jane. 1t seemed rather queer, but
they ushered him into the parlor and
sent Jane in. Well, to make long
story short. it wasn't ten minutes
until he had the thing all fixed up. He
had his chair drawn close up beside
her end of the sofa.

you ever since the first day l saw you,
but l never knew 1t until opened

Then you liked them, did you?
I'm so glad" murmured Jane.
Il should say did! Why, it's one
of the finest meerschaums l ever saw.

There used to be young man
named Stanwix who was rector of a
church at little town in New Jersey
called Appleburg. Very amiable young
man, not long in the ministry, and un-
married. Nice-looking chap, too. and
bright fellow. but he had his trials
at Appleburg. Mainly it was the wo-
men-they thought he ought to marry,
and of course they were right But
thinking so wasn't enough for those
dear Appleburg ladies'; with the true
feminine desire to help they resolved
to see that he did marry. But here
again they showed a universal femi-
nine trait by refusing to combine and
work together. They all labored hard
enough, but independently, and each
with a view to inducing the minister
to marry different woman.
1t had been going on thus for some
months when Christmas approached.

From the pathetic shadow of His Cross

Oppressed. and covering meath the chas-

We humbly seek the path His feet have

And strive to enter in.
Tho we have wandered in forbidden
ways,
spurned and denied Him. all our fruit
He calls calls us long and late.
We are so poor! OF all the sauandered
We bring no tithes of oil. or corn. or
wine,
Nor any Offering to His spotless shrine.
Save penitential tears.
We are SO friendless. in our abject need
We can but cry to Him in bitter stress:
Nor break the bruised reed.
Hard was the lot for His contentment
Rough was His garb. and rude His lent
en- fare:
In all the earth He had not anywhere
To lay his weary head!
His patience is SO long. His wrath so
Tho mocked and scoffed, insulted and
denied,
Beaten with many stripes. and crucified.
He will not bid us go.
BY all the anguishe Of His laden breast
The bloody sweat-the sleepless agony
The pangs and pennance of Gethsemane-
He giveth the weary rest.
Break in the dreary East oh. morning!
with healing in thy holy wings. and

you are of the opposite sex. and in the
same state, you will see that you ought
to give him something made with your
own fair hands, and you can't make an
easy chair. So slippers it had to be
for the Rev. M. Stanwix, especially
after his landlady had been sounded
on the subject and reported that the
poor man didn't have a slipper to his
name.
Well. the result was. of course, that
the whole hundred and thirty-six mar
riageable ladies at Appleburg went to
work on slippers; and few of the
flock who already had husbands also
began slippers. out of the goodness OF
their hearts, probably. or maybe think
ing that they might be widows some
day and might as well have pair to
their credit. The slaughter of plush
and embroidery materials was some
thing cyclonic. and the local shoe
maker had to sit up nights pegging on
soles. Even unfortunate little Jane
Wilkinson went at a pair hammer and
tongs, though everybody said she
hadn't ghost of show. In the first
place Jane was too young-her older
sister Katharine was conceded 70 have
right to enter for the contest, but 1t
was universally held that Jane had no
right to compete at all. Besides be-
ing too young-she was really nineteen
or twenty-she was also plain. She
might have a certain girlish prettiness.
but not the beauty which the wife of
so handsome shepherd as the Rev.
Mr.. Stanwix should have. Further
more, Jane was in no other way adapt
ed for the position-she had been a
good deal Of u tomboy, and was yet, for
that matter; she was frivolous and
careless, and was always putting her
foot in it. The first time the pastor
had called at the Wilkinson house,
and while Katherine was entertaining
him in the parlor in the most ap-
proved and circumspect manner, Jane
had blundered in, and inside of five
minutes asked him why he didn't get
married-all the girls said he ought
to. Jane had explained to everybody
that she meant 1t as joke. but 1t haa
generally been pronounced ill-timed
and in bad taste.
But poor Jane kept working away on
her slippers regardless OF the talk
Everybody said that James slippers
wouldn't 1T, or that they would both
be for one foot. or that she would get

TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

The best way to advertise is just tc
advertise. Get at it with view to hav.
ing the people know what you most
desire to sell, and incidentally letting
them know that the specified items dc
not represent your full stock. Say in
teresting things about interesting goods
and have the goods to talk.
Men talk OF the secret of successful
advertising, but it is all very plain. The
essentials are to offer what people
want. at fair prices and to offer it in
a way that will lake readers know
they want it. The art in writing an
advertisement is to speak as the inter.
ested and well-informed merchant
would speak to a prospective customer
The mere appearance of a business
mans name and address in every issue
of a leading newspaper will do work to
increase his trade. Every business man.
however, is able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly in a newspaper is the prin-
cipal secret of successful advertising.
The Idea that it takes a number OF
Impressions to make the average ad-
vertisement effective is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser said
to the publisher of the Cornhill Maya
zine: 1--WE don't consider that an ad-
vertisement seen for the first time BY
a reader is worth much. The second
time it counts for something. The third
time the readers attention is arrested;
the fourth time he reads it through and
thinks about 1t; the fifth makes a pur-
chaser Of him. 1t takes time to soak

The Dominic used to complain some-
times about the character of the stories
the rest of us told. He said they were
too economical in their use OF the ele-
ment of truth. And truth was 80
cheap, and also SO interesting, he
would say. We were always ready to
admit that 1t was interesting, but were
not so free to acknowledge its cheap
ness. Like other exotics 1t seemed to
us expensive. Fiction, being SO much
more easily produced, appeared to be
