The tenth annual state convention Of
the Epworth League was held in Colo.

full attendance characterized the open.
ing session. Out OF G6 leagues in tho
state NIL were represented but two. The
nncqualled hospitality shown us by all
was crowned by social on Thursday

rcigncd supreme.
On Saturday two special trains were
provided to carry the enthusiastic dele

Science of Swearing.
store

In the current Psychological
Review Professor Patrick studies
the questions, "Why do men
swear? When they swear why
do they use the words they dor"
From a classification of the var
ious forms of profane expression
used by men at different periods
of history, and an examination of
their connection with religious
words, the writer concludes that
profanity is not to be regarded as
primarily an expression of emo
ton, but to be a survival of the
growl of anger in the lower ami
NAL, which is a serviceable form
of reaction in cases of combat. 1t
belongs, therefore, to primitive
form of vocalization, and hence is
ancient and deep-seated, being
one Of several forms of speech
preceding articulate language by
an indefinite period of time. By
a process of selection it chooses
such sounds or words which will
shock or terrify the opponent.
Although originally useful in
combat, the occasion of profanity
at the present time may be an
analogous situation in which our
well being is threatened, as in
helpless distress or disappoint-
ment. If, then, the oath is a form
of instructive reaction and even
purifying agent, why is it consid-
cred to have an immortal quality?
Professor Patrick says for two
reasons First, because civillza-
tion tends to repress natural at
tributes; and, secondly, because
on the unfortunate, but inevitable
connection between profanity and
the sacred names of religion.

evenings at Home.

The story is given out from
Wilkesbarre that a woman who
has not had the pleasure of her
husbands company as much as
she would like during the even
ings, boaxed suicide in order to
have his sweet presence, at least
one evening between Sabbaths.
1t is said that the woman secured
a revolver and waited until her
husband slammed the door as he
started for his night of revelry
somewhere about the town, when
she fired two shots which brought
the wayward hubby back into the
house in quick order. 1t took
him but a moment to arouse the
neighbors who soon filed the
house. The smoke of the revolver
had gone but the weapon lay near
the supposed suicide. When the
excitement was at great heat the
woman sat up and pointed to the
ceiling where she had shot two
holes. She told her neighbors
that she had fooled her husband
in order to keep him at home with
her, promise he had made when
she agreed to leave her happy
home for him.
We hardly know what to think
of this woman, likewise the man
whom she hoaxed. There would
be less divorces, less murder, less
unhappy homes, less disobedient
children, less gossip, and more
happy homes if husbands were to
spend more evenings in the socie-
ty of the woman they once loved
better than any other; but as time
rolls on, some of them seem to
have lost a little of the thing call
ed love, and others receive the at
tention which belongs only to
those whom they vowed ''to love
and protect. Is a husband or
father worthy of being addressed
as dear husband" or "dear pa
pa" who spends some of his
evenings in the society of another
woman?-Public Opinion.

Too Sweet For Any Use.

A Kalamazoo drayman in trying
to unload a cask of sirup made a
misgo of it, and as the package
struck the ground, chime on, the
bottom went out and $50 worth of
sweet was spread out in the sun. A
fashionably dressed lady who was
attracted to the spot incautiously
advanced a step too far, and there
was where she put her foot into it.
If that had been all, no great harm
might have been done, but it was
not all. She grew excited and be-
gan to founder, and presently the
other foot was in. This increased
her excitement, and, finding that
neither foot responded to her efforts
at locomotion, she uttered a little
scream, threw up'her arms, lost her
balance, toppled over backward and
came to rest full length picture of
despair, sweetness and spoiled silks.
She was a visitor in the place, and
seldom had stranger become so
speedily and so unqualifiedly stuck
on locality. 1t required consider
able effort on the part of the by
ISLANDERS, and long pull, strong
pull and pull all together, before
she was induced to retire from the
sweetest spot on earth, to quote an
old song, and even then she did so
"siruptitiously."- Detroit Tribune.

New Counterfeit Quarter.

Another counterfeit quarter is
going the rounds and there seems
to be great many of them.
So cleverly is the piece made
that even when one is told Of it he
must compare it with another and
good quarters and see the differ
ence. The spurious piece bears
the date of 1900 and is one of the
best copies of the genuine ever
put into circulation. 1t weighs
almost a grain more than the
good coin and contains more sill
yer. Among the distinguishing
marks to be found are the follow
ing:
The e in the word "We" on the
face side is prominent, whereas
on the good coin the letter looks
more like an r. On the "tail"
side the eagles head is defective
not curved properly-the beak
is pointed and the head is smaller
than on the genuine. The shield
is larger than that of the genuine
coin. The eagles wings are
thinner and point upward more
than the original, The eagles
legs look more like a turkey s
legs. The eagle is defective all
through, and the work on the en-
tire coin is inferior to that of the
genuine. The spurious coin is
both thinner and of less diameter
than the genuine.

The Only Greed.

In the last lecture delivered by
the Rev. Joseph Cook, in the Park
Street Church, Boston, he gave
the following summary of his
creed
II believe in the Ten Comman
ments, and in the nine beatitudes;
and in the seven petitions Of the
Lords prayer; and in the four
ais of the Great commission
and in the six 'whatsoevers' of
the apostle; and in the strictly
self-evident truths in the cans ,
and 'cannots' of the Holy Word
and in the nature of things; and
that it is He who was and is, and
is to come; both exhaustless love
and a consuming fire Father, Son
and Holy Ghost; one God infinite
and interchangeable in every excel
lence; of whom the universe is the
autograph and the conscience of
man the immortal abode; and the
character and cross of Christine
most glorious self-manifestation;
our Saviour and Lord TO whom be
alteration and dominion, world
without end"
Could better epitome of the
belief of any one have been utter
ed or penned? The light of both
worlds may shine on. 1t will
bear the test. Would that every
one had such a creed and by his
example and precept lived it.
What a grand old world this
would be IA very Heaven on
earth.
