A New Summer SwindIer.

The proprietor of the latest
New York bunco game is gener-
ally a young man of excellent
manners and pleasant address
calling on people and offering to
rent summer houses in the sub
urbs. He first offers a long ringa-
marole about the family connec-
ton. With the negotiations well
under way he rises to go saying ::
I'll give you my card, so that in
case you are kept from the en-
gagement day after tomorrow
you can communicate with me" "
TO his intense surprise, however,
his pocketbook is missing. He
remembers that two men jostled
him in the car, but at the time
he thought nothing of the Incl
dent. The loss would be a good
Joke on him were it not that he
must max the night train home.
Could the house owner lend him
S. or $40, to be returned day after
tomorrow? The day comes but
the young man and the money re-
main away, and the happy sum
mer home is still without tenant
of high degree.

Gro. Hann's Pointed farewell.

Rev. NJ. J. Ham did lis best for
a congregation in Centerville, N.
J., but finally concluded that the
members were not doing their
best for him. Whereupon he
called a meeting of the church
and took leave of them all in this
pungent fashion: Brothers and
sisters, l come to say goodby.
don't think God loves this church,
because none of you ever die. /
don't think you love each other,
because you have not paid my sal
airy. Your donations are moldy
fruit and wormy apples, and by
their fruits We shall know them.
Brothers, | am going to better
place. l have been called to be
chaplain of a penitentiary. GO
to prepare a place for you, and
may the lord have mercy on your
souls. Goodby."

wide difference in Their Estimates
Regarded as Encouraging.
The value of man to woman depends, 1t
seems, altogether on the viewpoint OF
woman, reports the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Mrs. ellis Of Chicago, for example, re-
CARDS Mr.. ellis, her husband. as merely
"a necessary evil" while Mrs. Edward
Gary OF Eaton Rapids. Mich, estimates the
affection Of her husband at SIS, 900.
Mrs. ellis does not, it appears from
testimony, care a straw about her husband
or his affection, and she practically con-
fesses that she has tolerated him simply
because of his ability to provide for her
wants. which seem to have been numerous
and somewhat expensive. Mrs. Gary. on the
other hand, is a woman h in all prob
ability would love her husband even II she
had to do the providing. and who considers
the loss of his affection one Of the greatest
misfortunes that could possibly befall her.
The perversity Of human nature is such
that Mrs. Gillis, who cares nothing about
man, either in the abstract or the concrete,
and would not give up the pleasures OF a
woman's club for all the affection OF all
the men in Christendom, has been much
better treated. il the legal allegations are

nor is It worth while to try, but the fact
remains, il the facts are as stated, that

Danville. She could not live, she said, IN
such a small town. He finally became

The linen is OF the heaviest quality, loosely
woven and without stiffening. The chief
trimming OF the blouse, which shows the
usual Inverted mutton leg sleeve, Is a bias
OF stout white linen, running around the
neck and down the front, and worked with
black. A narrow black wash braid outlines
this, some leaf applications made OF the
same showing at the front Of the blouse.
The neck is filled in with a lightweight
black linen. the finely tucked vest and
stock in one piece. Stock finish and cuffs
are OF the black and white embroidery.
Another dashing waist, which has prac-
ticaI suggestions. is built on the same
model with the exception OF a slight lap
ping Of the fronts. This is OF tucked
cream wool wolfe, with a band trimming
Of black t%affeta. crossed by a piping of the
wolfe in lattice work.
A third useful waist is OF black liberty
satin, with horizontal groups of tucks
stitched with white. A shawl collar Of
Irish lace, applied to black mousseline,
and turning back from a vest Of tucked
white silk and fagotting, embellishes the
upper portion OF this. At the bust a soft
bow of the satin. cut bias, is placed.
All of these waists blouse slightly at the
front. and show backs without scanning.
Many with back fastenings. however, are
seen, though such styles are generally
preferred for airy textiles. such as lace
mousseline and net.

Doing n WhOlesas Business on a
Miniature Scale.
A clever plan by which church workers
or members of any benevolent society may
easily raise funds, and which incidentally
affords much amusement, has been started
by the young peoples society of a large
church, and the profits are now pouring in.
Each member is given from the treasury
a small sum to be invested in some profta-
BILE way for the benefit Of the work Of the
organization. The amount taken depends
on how the member proposes to invest, 81
being sufficient capital for a junior mem
Der. Most of the money is invested in
useful articles known to be in demand
among their friends. Through business
men OF the church. or their own fathers or
brothers, they are able to get goods at
wholesale. For instance, one investor goes
to an acquaintance in a publishing house,
gets a dozen or more copies Of a popular
book which everyo-s wants sooner or later,
and retails them TO all who want copies.
The profits being turned into the treasury,
another field Of investment may be sought.
Another member buys at a reasonable price
a dozen copies of a popular song or col
lection OF music. through a musical friend.
A special dress shield was bought in guam
tity by one girl, and found a ready sale,
while still another obtains tooth brushes,
a third makes a specially of household
magazines, etc. Younger societies of the
church take interest in the work, the boys
aud girls selling great numbers OF pencils,
erasers and other things to school friends
and those who become interested In the
movement.
