of the Christian Church. polygamy was
not regarded as sin.
In fact, these missionaries are preach

diplomacy. 1t is recognized that the
Mormon Church holds the balance Of
political power In Wyoming. Nevada

the most she could for him and managed
to keep him in school. He was greatly
interested in the coming entertainment

hoping he would be asked to take part.
Nanny had promised to go to the school
that afternoon, and she, too, wished her
little grandson would be invited to speak,
but nothing was said about it. Rastus
suggested that perhaps someone might
forget his piece, and then he would be
ready to fill in the empty place, so Mann

her old straw bonnet and went along.
Rastus was very proud Of his grandmoth-
er, and his little black face was full Of
joy. when he led her to Miss Gray and
said earnestly: "Mammy's come, too"
Miss Gray welcomed the old lady
warmly, but she felt sorry she had come,
as she remembered that Rastus had not
been invited to take part in the enter
tainment; she had entirely forgotten him,
and she knew how sensitive he was, be-
ing the only colored boy In the school.
but she thought of the valentines and that
Rastus would he happy when his name
was called to receive one, and she dis
missed it from her mind.

When Abraham Lincoln selected his
wardrobe preparatory to leaving Illinois
for the White House he carefully laid

spare proportions, he never enjoyed the
freedom of sartOrial choice, and his hats,
more than any other articles of his cloth

his peculiar individuality.
This hat was one of those chosen by
Mr.. Lincoln before leaving Springfield.

A few years ago a great deal Of in
genulty was wasted In fooling people
into reading advertisements. The COM
monest plan was to devise newspaper
article which, beginning as thrilling
story, ended as fat advertisement.
Few people, however, read beyond the
point where the advertisement proper
commenced. This method Of obtaining
readers soon fell into desuetude, and
the ingenious advertiser now prints
only the advertisement; but he makes
the ad so interesting that everybody
wants to read it.-Wichita (Kan)
