PREACHER SEEKING AN-IDEAL
WIFE.

We frequently hear the state
ment that "Truth is stranger
than fiction" AS a fine Illus
tration of this old and we'll

the following account of a we'll
known Missouri preacher, who
not long ago, according to the
st. Louis Republic, started out
in search of an ideal wife. Up
to last week he had not succeed
ed and SO is still a candidate
for matrimony, and if any of our
readers should tackle him along
this line the News gives notice
here and now that it would like
to have the concluding chapter
of this search for publication.
About this very interesting man
and subject the daily Republic
of Tuesday of last week says:
"rhe Rev. G. W. Brownback,
the minister who advertised for
a wife, officially announces
that lie can't find his ideal and
at last relates his experiences
in detail. He spoke to large
audience at Black Bear camp
meeting tonight and said, in

THE QUEEN WAS UNNERvED.
Victoria Was Not So Ready at Speak
Ing In Public as King
Edward Is.

How many of King Edwards prede-
cessors on the throne, one wonders,
have made 80 speeches out of Eng
land in as many days? asks the London
Chronicle. The activities of the king,
no sooner home again than he is pre-
pairing for Dalkeith and Holyrood,
call strangely to mind the quieter
years which followed the death of his
father, and lasted as long as the
Victorian era. None of US have been
before SO used to royal speeches as
we have become of late, and some
of us, perhaps, remember the nerv-
BUSINESS with which Queen Victoria
sometimes faced an audience.
Sir William Harcourt has a vivid
when he had to speak in place of the
queen, who sat listening to the
declaration she should have made
herself. It was at the opening Of the
law courts, nearly 81 years ago. A
distinguished audience had gathered
to hear her majesty proclaim the
building open, and it was not until
almost the very minute at which the
queen was due to speak that she
called the home secretary to her side
and whispered something in his ear.
The next minute Sir William Har-
court stood forward, and said he had
the queens command to declare the
law courts open, and everybody knew
that the monarch of a worldwide
empire was unnerved.

FASHIONS FOR LITTLE FOLK.
Pretty Bits of Finery That VIII BE
In Vogue for the Summer
Seas0Hs

The children's clothes are all refiec-
ton of the "grown-up" fashions, and
are only notifications of them THERE'S
the same handwork, heavy laces, piping,
ruches, and the deep collars.
For dress materials linen is in great
vogue, and has to a great extent super
seded pique. The most popular colors are
the cool blues and green's and pinks and
ecrus, says American Queen.
FOR trimming, Russian cross stitch
In reds and blues are especially popu-
lar. The ecru linens take these trim
mings very well, and pipings often add
to the pretty effect.
P1que has not, however, disappeared,
and dresses of light blue trimmed with
bands of white with a finishing touch Of
French knots are much seen this sea-
son.
The wide collar is the feature of chill
dren's costumes. A light collar will
greatly enhance a dark, rather plain
looking dress. They are seen in linen,
applique on net, and lace. The child's
figure is greatly improved by the proper
shaping of the collar.
Plaids and checks are among the sea-
sons fads, and they are prettier than
ever They are trimmed with bands or
pipings of plain colors by way of con-
trast, and with them are worn deep COL
lars OF the heavy lace so popular this
season.
Simplicity should be the keynote in
dressing children, for any attempt at
elaborateness is always out of place on
a child. ''Fussy" dresses are in bad
taste; the simpler ones being far more
appropriate and becoming.
With the thin white wash frock the
choice is unlimited Dimities, lawns,
organizes, ETC., are ell in demand, nor
can there be too many of them in the
chfld's wardrobe.
White is the note this season. and
although not SO economical, it is al
ways becoming to children.
The full boomers in place of petit
coats for everyday wear is an innova-
ton that is hailed with delight by par
ents and nurses They are made to match
in color the dresses, and they are also
often made of the same material They
resemble full trousers, but are fuller
than those worn by small boys, and do
not extend below the skirt

Sun. He had an engagement for little
party one Saturday night awhile ago,
He lost $66, and as he had $100 with him
when he started out he had just $34 left
when he got home. 1t was o'clock, and
rather than be suspected Of more serious
offences, he confessed that he'd been
playing poker. Taking a tip from a
friend who uses that means successfully,
he put the $34 down on the chiffonier and
said:
"My dear, I'm going to give you this
$34 that ! won tonight. I had pleas

can buy yourself something nice with
this"
But madame declared that she would
never touch such ill-gotten money, and
SO he agreed to buy her a SS5 jardfniere
that she had been wanting, and piece
of dress goods. The next morning Mrs.
Archie called him to find out if he was

ATTACKED ON ALTAR.

News reached Dubuque, Iowa, yes
terdav that while conducting the ves-
pers service in Cascade Sunday after
noon Father Roach was attacked by an
insane man and stabbed several times
with a knife. Joseph Montgene, aged
nineteen years, rushed upon the priest
from behind and plunged long knife
into his neck. Father Roach was about
TO raise the host, and he thought the
man was going to call him to sick per-
son and leaned over to get the message.
On his barred neck a cash three inches
deem was made. The priest warded
off several other blows, and two men
from the congregation assisted him to
chair while doctors we're called. Father
Roach was standing before the taber-
nacIe in full view of the congregation.
Montgene, seeing his opportunity, LETT
his seat in the church and went round
to a side door. He entered the sane
tuary. drew his knife, and approached
the priest The priest grappled with
the man and knocked the knife out OF
his hand. Then assistance came, and
the assailant escaped. With blood
streaming over his vestments, the priest
was carried out and surgeons closed the
wound. When the attack was made
women rushed from the church weeping.
Little children, thinking their priest
had been murdered, rushed after the
assailant. Until they were assured that
Father Roach would not die, the people
were in high pitch of excitement and
the town marshal was fearful lest an at
tempt at lyncbiug be made yesterday.
Montgene was taken to Dubuque by the
officers and his father, who filed an in
formation of insanity against his son.
The prisoner refused to give any state
ment other than that he intended to
kill No cause for the attack is known,
as Montgene was always member OF
the Catholic Church, attending St. Mar
fin's Church
