Not an Apostate.

Pat O'Connell, a clever old Irish
man, recently came into possession
of a cow at small cost to himself.
He wished to sell the animal, but
his wife, who had long wanted a
COW, was of another mind. The Chi
cago Tribune tells how the matter
was settled.
"We'll keep it," said Bridget.
"Just you run across the street now
and ask Mr.. Calkins If he'll let us
keep the COW In his empty barn for
half the milk"
Mr.. Calkins is the popular pastor
of one Of the Protestant churches of
the neighborhood, but Pat and his
wife are good Catholics. Pat made
the proposition, and Mr.. Calkins lis
tened with growing twinkle In his
eye.
"Why, certainly, Pat" he said.
"I'll let you use my barn as long as
you like-on one condition; that you
come to my church every Sunday
for the IL o'clock service"
After a moments hesitation, Pat
consented, and the bargain was
made. The COW was moved into the
minister's barn, and on the follow
ing Sunday Pat was in pew at Mr.
Calkin's church.
The next day some one told Mr..
Calkins that in addition to attend
ing services at his church, Pat had
also gone to early mass at the Cath
olic church, and when next they
met Mr.. Calkins, with the idea OF
teasing the old man, took HIM to
task for his alleged duplicity.
"Pat," he said, "vou're playing
me false about that cow"
"Sure, an I'm not" said Pat.
Wasn't at your church the Sun
day as 1 promised?"
"Yes, but you went to the five-
O'Clock mass, too"
"But how can you blame me for
that?" answered Pat. 81 went to
your church for me cows sake, an

The Art of Advertising.

Some men do not know how to
advertise; they get tired to quick.
They do not stick it. II they put a
one dollar ad in this week they ex-
pect to reap nine dollar profit the
next, and are of course are disap-
pointed, Then they are ready to
say, advertising don't pay" But
it does pay, when it is placed in a
judicious manner and at the proper
time. One firm, in Madisonville
placed an ad of 12O inches IN the Bee
and as direct result sold over four
hundred dollars worth of goods.
This man knew when TO use space
and what to say to attract the atten-
tion of the people. There are times
when it is not necessary to use very
much space and at other times when
a full page is good Investment, but
there is never a time when adyertis-
ing should cerse altogether. The
only known way to get your share
of the trade is to advertise at the
right time, and keep everlastingly
at it.

The Man Who Stayed.

For one woman who dominates heI
husband in China there are doubtless
nine of the approved Oriental stripe
of humility; nevertheless, Chinese
humorous literature abounds in ref
erences to henpecked L usbands. Prof
Herbert Allen Giles, of the Uniyer-
sity of Cambridge, told one of these
stories in his closing lecture of his
recent course at Columbia College.
Ten henpecked husbands resolved
to form q society to resist the inn
position of their wives. The ten
wives heard of the plan, and while
the meeting for organization was in
progress entered the room in body.
Nine of the rebellious husbands fled,
but the tenth one retained his place,
apparently unmoved by the unex-
pected visitation.
The ten wives, after smiling COM
temptuorsly on the one man who
remained, went back to their homes
we'll content with the success OF
their raid.
The nine husbands thereupon re-
turned to their meeting, resolved to
make the heroic tenth man the pres
ident of the society.
When they entered the room, how
ever, to inform him of the honor, il
was found that he was dead. He had
died Of fright.
