Success of an Invention Brought to

While good many women are
branching out into new fields these

and as she is endowed with a more

she devised a cake tin that was an
improvement over anything that had
been produced before in the vicinity.
She was shrewd enough to patent her
invention. then she set about getting
her patent before the public.
Her husband came to her assistance
here and trial was made with the
village folk. The new cake tin took.
Then the large towns in the vicinity
were tried, with an encouraging degree
of success. and the county fairs gave
another opening. After year or so
the woman was advised to come TO
New York and luckily secured a good
opening. She has been here ever since.

Incendiaries Dance at Fire.

The home of Isaac Denton on Wash
ington Island at Kenosha was destroyed
by an incendiary fire started by the pco-
pie of the island. A few days ago Denton
left the house and while he was gone
the islanders decided il should be burned.
A meeting was held and men armed with
torches and Kerosene went down to the
river front and, covering the house with
oil, applied the torch. When the hre de-
partment arrived the islanders were
dancing around the burning building and
singing The house was erected ten
years ago as Il club house and later was
given to Denton to use as home. No

THE BESETTING SIN.
BY Rev. j. n. Macdonald. d. d.

According to the teaching of Jesus the

edge the goodness of God and His right

The fact that it is the best
