passing the rectory he saw a little.
yellow pig frisking about the lawn in
the most ~unaccountable fashion. Billy
stopped short In amazement. 1t was7't
a pig after all, but could II be yt-
1t was a dog, a tawny. little roly holy
with a black stripe down his lack,
and a tail that curled like a pigs, and
a face that reminded Billy OF old Uncle

looked less dangerous. Billy sldled
up to the fence and whistled softly.
The pug frisked over with his nose in
quisitively tilted. He shifted at Billy
and then backed OFF. Evidently he was
not prepOssessed. Billy dived into his
pocket for his lunch and held 1t coax
ingly between the palings. but the pug
was not to be balted with coarse bread
and ham. He had never eaten so
mean a meal in all his petted, weil-fed
life. Billy did not consider this a bad
beginning, however; he was so accus-
toned TO being snarled at by the surly
country dogs.
Billy finally broke the ice in this

Church Friend of poor Man.

The Church, Mans Best Friend
was the subject OF Rev. J.. clayton
Youker at the Euclid Avenue MethoA
dist Episcopal church. Oak Park. ILL.,,
on a recent Sunday. "Notwithstand-
ing the faults in it's Protestant and
Catholic divisions said the minister.

terests of man. The church is often

charged with smiling upon the rich
and frowning upon the poor. 1t sins
some times in this way, but this is
not Its controlling spirit. The com
mon people make the majority OF its
adherents. More employees than en-
ployers belong to Il. Rich men make
the minority Of its officials. II has
many more unpretentious than pre-
tentious buildings. The predomi-
nance Of the everyday nan in the
church speaks eloQuently its sympathy
with the masses. The church and not
the saloon is the poor mans club. The
church Is conservative. and properly

wise. Having heard OF the pug's pro-
objection for candy, he determined to
play his trump card. He had long
carried in a safe inner pocket a nickel
which he kept partly for the lack OF a
suitable investment and partly because
the consciousness OF ownership ex-
pressed in dollars and cents Is 80 sweet
to a boy. Now Billy had so fallen I'M
der the spell OF the pug's entertainments
that he cheerfully spent his nickel
penny by penny, for the toothsome
commodity which was the price Of the
dogs good will. And the weeks OF
joyous fellowship that followed left
Billy nothing to regret in his bargain.
Billy's new-found happiness came to
a sudden end. however. when he saw
sinister signs OF departure about the
rectory. The rector's guests were go
ing, and the impending separation
from his dear, canine playfellow filed
him with despair. Now. Billy could
not know that the dog had been given
to the rector's wife. He assumed that
\ as 1t had arrived with the strangers. II
would also depart with them.
Billy thought the situation oyer in
bitter rebellion. Gradually he evolved
a way out OF his trouble. He remem-
bered with a thrill the long-disused
shanty in a clearing in the woods,
where he kept a rusty, old musket and
other vallables safe from the vnndal-
ism OF his step-brothers. What could
be simpler than TO secrete the dog In
this safe place-yes, indefinitely!
Billy would bring his own portions OF
meat and cakes for him TO eat. and
there were a few corn sacks in the
barn which would do admirably for his
bed. Billy acted upon this alluring
plan.
A week elapsed and Billy heard ru-
NOR Of the distress at the rectory
which took the edge on his satisfac-
ton. The rector's wife had actually
been seen in tears-a state OF things
poor Billy had not foreseen. His con-
science began TO work in deadly earn
est. and he would hug the dog in a pas
sion of repentance. His mothers
| griefs were too fresh In his mind for
him to be indifferent to tears. An old
formula which she had patiently in
stilled became luminous with mean
ing. do unto others" Assuredly
Billy's conscience had become sadly
over-weighted.
Yes, he would take the dog back and
make q clean breast OF II. He thought
OF what might happen when the rector
told his father, with dark misgivings
bat he would know that the sectors
wife was not crying.
At twilight they started. Billy wish
ed that he felt like frisking. too, bul
his courage oozed with every step.
Billy's rap brought the rector to tn,
door. The pug yelped delightedly. II
the noisy welcome that followed Bill,
would have slipped away. but the rec
tor drew him inside.
where did you find him, Billy?"
Didn't find him." said Billy laconi
cally.
Where has he been?"

Learn TO Distinguish.
DO you know the difference between
a pie and a tart?" How often have
you heard this asked at a dinner Ia
BILE when the conversation langulshes,
and how fruitful OF argument the ques-
ton invariably is. Half a dozen Cor
rect" are given in as many
minutes. The fact is, the point is not
capable of such an easy explanation as
might be supposed.
"A pie contains meat, a tart fruit"
says some one. Quite so. but who
ever would deny the existence Of APP
pie pie? The famous Lord Dudley was
heard to remark at a sumptuous din.
ner given by Prince Esterhazy, God
bless my soul! No apple pie" And
he should certainly have known what
he was talking about, for this was his
favorite dish. Further, there exists q
volume dated 1869 entitled The
Compleat Cook wherein are to he
found descriptions of how to make a
partridge tart and an olive pye.'
History may thus be said to veto tho
''meat-and-fruit" theory. Mrs. Beeton,
by the way, who should be the SUI
preme court of appeal in a matter OF
this kind. in~gloriously describes he
recipe as an apple tart or pie" Next
comes an eve more plausible explana-
ton. "A pie is closed; a tart Is open
thus pronounce by far the majority OF
the oracles on this momentous sub
ject. There Is admittedly much to be
said in support of this argument. The
aforementioned Lord Dudley. who was
once questioned as TO his correctness
in speaking of apple pie" held to the
"closed-and-open' theory. while Lord
Alvanley's apricot tart was an up
rooted structure, although sometimes
ornamented with a grille OF cross
| pieces. But the word pie" as any au.
thority will tell you. is. In its origin

| And We have yet to meet a self-respect
ing tart whose basis was other thar

Wherefore n tart may be correctl,
called a pie, though no every pie al
we shall now demonstrate. can be de
scrlbed as tart. The whole thing turns
on the origin of the word tart. Tit
French tourtc gives the clue. 1t leads
us TO the Latin torta-English twist
