only man there, nor the only man with
a cottage there. but he is sui genelis
all the same, for he has inflicted On
himself a really brand new and beauti-
full joke. And lie is the only man in
that part OF the state who is unaware
of it. The permanenee of the joke de.
pends on its being kept from him, and
the secret is being preserved until this
writing with perfect uzanimity. rhe
man looks With complacency on his
neighbors as they bring yisitors daily
to view his cottage, and he is happy in
the thought that its beauty has melted
them TO admiration and envy. But
when he reads this he win discover
that which has brought the hosts Of
strangers to gaze on his cottage is not
the cottage. 1t is the beautiful golden
name that blazes over his porch. The
man does not know Spanish. but he
knows when a word sounds nice, and
the Spanish word "vacuna" struck him
as sounding Just nice enough for a nice
cottage like his Unhapplly, "vacuna"
is not SO nice a word in meaning as In

The congregation of the FIRST
Christian church of Waynesburg,
Rev. ]. c. Cobb, d. ID. Pastor, has
introduced an innovation in the
church, in the shape of long dis
lance telephone, to enable parishi-
oners who live in the country dis
tricts to hear the sermon without
attending the services.
eThe telephone has been placed on
the pulpit, and has an unusually
large transmitter. 1t has been in
operation for four weeks, and has
proved great success.
Many of the members of the
church live in the country, and in
stormy weather are unable to get to
the church easily, but by standing
with the receiver in their hands
they are enabled to stay at home and
hear the sermon. Many people who
are close to pay station have en-
gagged the use of the line for several
weeks ahead. The idea originated
through the condition of the county
roads in bad weather.

night waiting for her husband to
come home. At last weary and worn
out with vigil, she went upstairs to

his wife so mad she didn't speak to

she did every night. She was so tired
that her dear little head was heavy

eyes and the room seemed going in

had said her prayers, TASK God to

asked Dorothy very gravely, do you
think God would mind very much if
l. was to just lump the family to-
night?"
Her mother told her that she must
complete her prayers as she always
DID, and the heavy head nodded from
side to side as she tried to say rev.
erently:
BLESS - gran'pa - gran'ma - Aunt
Susie-Uncle- Oh, mamma, I'm so
sleepy, an God knows the rest bettern
I do''
And, climbing into her little white

that God did know the rest and had
