ministers on the upper deck, and soon

that the only time he had ever known

duct a union revival. The first night
OF the meeting the pastors of the diff

and crowds filed the pews. ALI were

we're not disappointed. Evangelist
Jones arose, turned to the Methodist
preacher and Said:.

How many are willing to pray in

..Then each minister was called in
turn and inteFFoRated upon the same
points; revealing the fact that the
amount of salary received by the
minister and the number taking part
In the services was woefuIly small in
comparison with the size of the con-
gregation.
"Well," said Mr.. Jones, addressing
the ministers, but with a sidelong

SpangIes for a Bride.

A pretty idea in recent bridal gowns
was tho lining of the train with spark
ling SeQuined net, or with silver en-
broidered net or chiffon, and the
change is distinctly a pleasing one.
Satin is decidedly a heavy train lining
in these days of diaphanOus effects,
and especially when the train may be
of crepe de chine or lace. A sparkling
sequined net lining a transparent lace
train has the happiest effect. The col
ored silk coat is a novel feature for
the bridesmaid, and would seem very
charming and appropriate one for an
autumn wedding. Doubtless many OF
the October weddings will see the chill
ly bridesmaids thus comfortably and
picturesquely clad. These coats may
be just boleros or else long, three
quarter or full length, but which ever
way they are fashioned these wraps
will be very useful afterward to the
bridesmaids, the longer ones coming
in for evening wear, and the shorter
to wear over blouses, either indoors or
outdoors.-Commerc Advertiser.

NA# motor and general organ
kW0 izer and debt shirker, was
little late in reaching his
office. He had mounted the stairs in
his usual cautious way and decided
that the coast was clear, when he got a
surprise. The cobbler to whom he had
been owing So for two or three years
was not only waiting at the door, but
his state of mind was such that he
saluted the major with:
"By golly, but l pellet you vhas run
AWAY und don't neffer come back any
more!'
"Can this be my dear old friend
Wasserman?' exclaimed the major in
reply as he extended his hand. Good

the blunt reply. "You owe me 81. und
I hat run my legs almost off to get dot

the young men are buying them. ;"
Then fellow pictures nine million
young ladies pulling lacquered vas
es from their stockings on Christ
mas morning and concludes they are
too common for the particular stock
ing he has in mind. Then he walks
down to the cut glass department
with his hands in his pockets fol-
lowed by the clerk. When shop
ping in large city stores always keep
your hands in your pockets or at
least I always dO-sO the fOor-walk-
ers can't steal your pocketbook.
Here in Lancaster you don't have to
take these precautions. The aver
age fool then prices a perfume bot
tie which the clerk declares is ''just
the thing sold SO many of them
fill it with perfume you know all
complete with fancy cut glass stop
per, etc." I was in a store the other
day and overheard this. The boy
doing the buying struck by the sing
ular completeness of a bottle with a
stopper to match said artlessly and
with feigned surprise, they
go together, do they you wouldn't
sell the stopper alone then?" The
clerk winked leniently at the pro-
prietor, coughed to hide a litter and
explained that it was customary to
sell the two together. The boy
feared to purchase a bottle of per-
fume for his girl lest she might
imagine he thought she needed it,
SO he didn't purchase and the clerk
began to look weary. Then you
could see by his looks that the fell
low in his teens was wishing the
firebell would ring SO he would have
an excuse to rush out and collect
his fugitive wits and decide on what
would be the proper caper. A man
never knows what he wants. A
woman can take ten dollarS and buv
four market baskets full of beauti-
full gifts for eight hundred and fifty
two people. Rarely a man is found
who can purchase a 10 cent Christ
mas toy without enough mental
agony to found an insane asylum.
''You are somewhat undecided like
me-" speaks up the clerk, II never
know what to buy my wife, ooh,
if it was only my wife" says the
young fellow, it would be dead
easy-any old thing would do then"
And lots of men will tell you. this
same thing. You can buy your wife
a nice smoking set and use it your
self or a set of bone handle knifes
and forks or the dress you should
have bought her last June or new
clothes wringer or skillet or d doz-
en- clothes pins anything is appro-

she will appreciate anything, even a
promise. Poor, deluded wives
