After prayers had been offered
and a lesson from the Scripture
read, Mrs. McCurdy addressed a
few words to the inmates. She
spoke of the pleasure the w. G.
T. U. derived from being in a
position to cheer those who are
afflicted or distressed in any way,
and thanked Warden Wolfer for
permitting the ladies to visit this
prison and distribute flowers.
After some singing by the visitors
and the prison choir and a short
serman, the services were brought
to close. As the men marched
from the chapel a bunch of fresh
flowers and a card, tied with a
white bow and bearing on it's face
an appropriate quotation from the
Bible, was handed to each one.

NOT so DEAD AS HE SEEMED.

DR.. Nelson Call of Guild Hall,
VT, was thrown from his buggy
last Saturday and rendered un-
conscious by his fall. Physicians
we're summoned and they said the
injured man was dead-that his
neck had been broken.
The undertaken was sent for and
the embalming process was about
to be started, when DIR. Call sud-
denly arose to sitting position
and asked what the time was.
White with terror the under
taker told him: "Just about
noon," and then summoned the
family. After a joyful reunion,
the supposed dead man joined in
eating a hearty dinner. He said
he remembered nothing from the
time he was thrown from the
buggy.

cross railroad track ahead of q

fast that eight hundred quarts OF
nitro giycerine, which he was car
rying in the rear of the wagon,
exploded and scattered him for
miles around.
Fortunately the train was
stopped before it had reached the
great hole which the explosion
made and it was far enough away
from the wagon when the stuff ex-
ploded to escape serious damage.
The passengers were seriously
shaken up and pieces of wood and
iron we're hurled against the cars.
Traffic was stopped for several
hours.
The train was nearly filled with
passengers. Flying pieces of ties,
railroad iron, telephone poles and
other debris struck the train every
where and it seems miracle that
none was hurt.

It is the easiest thing in the

this habit of worry in another,
and one Of the hardest things to-

largely a matter of temperament

however, although SO largely
temperamental, is not wholly be-

even to subdue.
While self-control is not to be i.

less called up at will in an ex-,

quite possible to cultivate it pa

way of doing this is to eliminate,
as far as possible the Immediate
occasions which call forth this

There is also the art of keeping

done, she arose, held the shoe high
above her head and cast it on the
floor in front of ner brother-in-law.
The two principals were then de-
clared free to go their own way.
The ceremony began by intro
ducing witnesses that the woman
principal of the ceremony had no
children, and that Laos was the
brother in law of the widow.
"Did you demand that this man
become your husband?" asked the
rabbi.
II did and he refused" said the
woman.
Did you refuse to marry this
woman?" asked the rabbi of Laos.
II did, because I have already
taken a wife"
The ceremony of the shoe was
one based upon one of the oldest
of the laws of Moses. According
to the faith, wife is like unto a
shoe, under the power and direction
of the husband. Therefore, the
casting away of the proposed wife
was symbolized by the throwing
away of the shoe.
MUST KEEP HIS ARMS TO HIMSELF.
To put your arm about the waist
of a girl in public is an offence
against the statutes of Quincy, ILL.,,
as James Keithly learned to his
sorrow few days ago. Mr.. Keithly
was out walking with a young
lady and, upon reaching a dark and
secluded spot, timidly slipped his
arm about her waist. The lady
denied him not, but a burly police
man, armed to the teeth, emerged
from the shadow of a building and
at once placed the young man
under arrest.
When Mr.. Keithly was arraigned
in the police court next morning
he did not deny the offence, but
pleaded ignorance of the law and
extenuating circumstances.
II come from F[unnewell, your
honor" said he, land in that town
it is considered low down to walk
with girl and not put your arm
around her. My early training is
responsible for this misdemeanor
and if you will let me off this time
I will leave Quincy and return to
Hunnewell at once" The Judge
RENTED the fine.
The young ladies of Hunnewel]
are incensed against Mr.. Keithly
They say that he is not a repre-
sentative citizen of their fair city
and that his ideas of etiquette cut
no ice whatever. They also deny
the insinuation that they travel
armed after dark. Keithly will be
ostracized in the future.

A Merry RUN.

Engineer Human of train 129,
Lehigh Valley railroad, made one
of the most plucky runs on record
last week. As the locomotive was
passing water plug about fifteen
miles from Ithaca, N. Y, he
stretched his right arm out of the
cab window. His hand struck the
plug, breaking his arm at the
wrist. Human insisted on finish
ing his run, a distance of Is miles,
and brought his train into Geneva
on time to the minute. Upon
reaching his destination, the nervy
engineer tainted in the arms of
his fireman. A physician was
sent for and Human was removed
to his lodgings.
Mrs. Geolda Laos of Bucharest,
Roumania, was, the leading actor
in a very unusual rite in New
York a few days ago. According
to an ancient tenet of the Jewish
church, widow is bound to marry
the brother of her deceased
husband. and it was to be released
from this obligation that the pretty
Jewess travelled 10000 miles by
land and sea. Samuel Laos, the
brother-in-law, is already married,
and to have wed him would have
been an offence against the penal
code of the United States. As it
was impossible for Laos to travel
to Bucharest to have the ceremony
of release performed, she came to
this country. The following ritual
set them free of the obligation i'm
posed by Moses:
A portion of the Talmud was
read by Rabbi, who, at the end
of the reading, produced a sandal
of peculiar and ancient pattern.
It was made Of two pieces of
leather, and was fastened with
latches and two long thongs.
STOPPING, he fastened this to the
foot of Laos. The widow was then
directed to kneel in front of the
man and use only her right hand
to unite the shoe. After this was
