This neat little trick is to fold a
handkerchief lengthwise, take hold of
the ends with the hands and make
knot in the handkerchief without let
ting go the ends. To do this we place
the handkerchief before us, fold our
arms a la Napoleon and take one end
of the handkerchief with the left hand,
which is now to the right, and the
other end with the right hand, now to
the left. By unfolding the arms we
make knot in the handkerchief, and
the trick is done.

Hardy arose and confessed and asked
forgiveness. The hearts Of the people
were greatly moved. Mr.. Jones, con-

Hardy spoke. j.

like to say that they want to become
Christians and will try to live the

In the pause that followed James
Caxton, who had been sitting in the
back seat, felt as If some power within
and without him were forcing him to
his feet. He grasped his chair as If to
hold himself down, but the Holy Spirit
whispered to him, "Son, this will be
the beginning Of new life to thee"
And so James Caxton arose and said
he wanted to be Christian, and from
that moment he dated his strong, con-
secrated life. life that bids fair to be-
come famous in the world yet. and his
action was the beginning Of new life
in that church and community, but we
cannot dwell on that In the course of
this history.

blessing thee in this thy week Of trial!

The programme of sport which was provided by Louis A. Fisk, proprietor and manager of the picturesque driV- ing park at Branford, Conn.,, was sui ficient to attract a very large crowd to his resort yesterday afternoon.
 The regular trains carried many passengers to the trotting course, but the largest number of patrons went by the very convenient special train which left this city at 1:30 p. m
 This train of ten cars was sufficient to seat all that were on time and was well and comfortably filled. On the re- turn the cars were taxed to their limit. From the Driving park station horse cars carried passengers by short and direct route through fields, farms and forests fragrant with spring flowers and fresh verdure. l was beautiful and romantic ride through the woods to the park gate Many improvements were noticed both outside and inside the park.

l. Every garment has been made especially for us, to our own specifications and under our own supervision.
 g. Every one of them was made in a factory noted as a model of it's kind;--a factory as clean as your own dining-room in which the operatives picked experts; factory in which the employees dress with the scrupulous neatness of trained nurse, factory in which there is not only flood of light and air. but birds, flowers and occasionally music. There are no "Song of the Shirt" horrors stitched into these garments.
 5. The styles of the garments are all new, all exclusive with us, and many of them are as carefully studied as the design of ball cos tune. The cutting and making are worthy of the designing. Accuracy and thoroughness are the notices of the factory. You cannot your self do or hire any such sewing as you will see in these garments.

A. The laces used are of the best class None of the cheap, machine-made lace is per. mitted, because it invariably ravels in the wash tub This is one of the marked points of diff erence between our undermuslins and the cheap stuff that aaunts itself in some sales.
 5. There is no skimping in sizes. On large orders, it is possible to save hundreds of dollars by cutting inch from the length or width of gown. None of this for us or for you.
 6. The prices run from ten to twenty-five per cent. UNDER the lowest prices you can find on goods anywhere near their equals. and from twenty to thirty per cent UNDER what it would cost you to make up the garments your self, even taking your own time at regular ''sweat-shop' rates.
