SHATTERED HIS HOPES.
On Reaching His Majority Young
Man Gets n Hard jolt for n
birthday Present.

There's still another young man go
ing about the streets with dazed ex-
preston OF countenance. While he APP
pears to be cognizant as TO whether
he is coming or going, II is obvious that
his mind IS in more or less Of a turmoil
as to the source Of the motive power,

The young man has been employed in
a bank for a couple Of years and earns
about SIS per week, which he has been
in the habit Of spending upon him
self with groa. '-pr-tiality, in addi-
tion to divers and sundry amounts
handed over TO him at odd times by his
father.
As the day of his twenty-first birth
day approached the young man began
TO kindle pleasantly over reflections
upon what his father intended to give
him as present signalling the attain
ment Of his majority. His dad had al
ways been in the habit Of remembering
him on his birthdays, and pretty sub
stantially, too, but the young man felt
that the achievement Of his twenty
fret year called for something really
handsome on the part Of the old man.
Il hope he don't make Il a gold watch
and chain-even a handsome one" the
young man is said to have remarked

Of his attaining his majority, and IA
have alluded Al dinner several times IN
a forced iocular manner TO how big and
high and mighty he felt now that he
was a real, honest and truly nan. He
purposely refrained from going out
that evening, feeling certain that his
dad, as customary on such occasions
would send for him TO come TO tn,
library.
His father did send for him alon,
toward eight o'clock. The old gentle
man was alone and hooked might,
cheerful and comfortable.

Speaking of Mennonltes, there ava

organization. They are a sect Of
Swiss origin, corresponding very

They reject infant baptism, abstain
from oaths and practice non-resist-
ance. Their organization dates from
1925. They rapidly spread in Switzer-
land and Germany, and being perse-
cuted were forced into Morayia.
They were known originally as ana
baptists. 1t was an offshoot from
this body which under John Of Ley

By its excesses at Munster in 1888.
