EPISC0PAL|ANS Will
Be AGAINST DIVORCE

'The Limitations of Industrial Lib
erty" Is another question which is to
be discussed. and which Is likely to
provoke unusual interest. in view of
the presence of j. Pierpont Morgan
and other leading financiers of the
country. Under the head of this sub
ject the labor troubles of New York
and other large cities are to be dis
cussed.
Miracles as an Element of Chris
tianity" and Immortality complete
the list of leading subjects to be
discussed. At the recent English
congress it was proposed to rule out
much of the miraculous in the gospel
narrative. 1t is expected the sub
ject will bring forth keen discussion.

THE COUNTRY STORE.

Without doubt, the old-time coun-
try store has been radically changed.
If it is not actually passing, it has
been so altered that it does not know
itself. Half century ago it was
Rialto or Forum where the country
masses met by day or night to discuss
the affairs of the State, the gossip of
the neighorhood or the condition of re-
ligious affairs. Then the country
store kept everything and everybody
traded there. 1t gathered up all the
produce of the district and exchanged
goods for the same. 1t was familiar
with pass books, long credits and
general settling day. Now this has
passed, and the rural store is a cash
commission house and its stock in
trade the common necessities, such as
chewing tobacco, salt, curry combs,
brooms and baking soda. 1t now
seems the last stroke of ill luck has
struck the rural Wanamaker. 1t is
stated that, according to protests and
complaints received at the office of the
Postmaster General lately, the posting
of lists Of rural delivery routes and of
addresses of patrons along the lines
has been working detrimentally to the
business of the country stores. 1t ap-
pears that these lists are being copied
by agents of firms that do large bus
mess on mail orders, and the informa-
tion thus gathered is used in sending
descriptive catalogues and circulars"
So it seems that the rural mail box at
the end of the lane, while a general
good, still hurts some one. This is al
ways the case. A new machine may
throw some one out of work for the
time being, but in the long run every
body is better off. The free delivery
system has destroyed the social gath
erings at the rural post Office and cur
tailed the business of the country
store, but for all that the greatest good
to the greatest numbers must prevail.

AN ELECTRIC EYE-OPENER.

There is in Mobile gentleman who
in the past has been in the habit of
oversleeping in the morning hours, and
his business requires that he come
down street early, it is essential that
he should awaken at certain hour.
Time after time be came late to his
business, in spite of alarm clocks and
other appliances to get his eyes open
ed at the proper time. One morning
recently he entered the Office on time
to the minute. The others in the of
flee expressed great surprise at this
unusual event, and asked the whyfore
of it, reports the Mobile Register"
II determined that this business of
sleeping when I should be awake had
to stop, so I called in an electrician
and he fixed me up few things. I
have it so arranged that AZ the hour
set light flashes in my eyes. Ifthis
is not successful, and I do not get up
and throw the switch, a mosquito bar
and the frame falls on me. II still

used on the patrol wagon goes of.
Should l fail to notice these things,

HE GOT THE SPANKING.

You sit right where you are and don't
move a bit, if you do, I'll spank you
good and hard. So don't stick your
head out Of the window. You might
have it taken off if you do. Then you
wouldn't have any head, and you'd get
spanking besides"
The man went away to find the con.
ductor After few minutes he came
back.
There was Willie with just his feet
and the seat of his trousers sticking in
through the window. He seemed to
be more outside than inside, and,
moreover, whenever a telegraph pole
whizzed by and looked especially close
he would make lunge for it, as if try.
ing to catch it.
The father did not hesitate long.
He made grab for the boy just as the
latter was making lunge for a pole.
He pulled him in by the heels, laid
him over his knee and began to fulfill
his promise. The little fellow yelled
until he almost drowned out the noise
of the train, but during a lull in the
uproar the father heard snicker be-
hind him. He laid the boy down and
turned around to see what it meant.
There was his son, two seats be-
hind and across the aisle, with two
fingers stuffed in his mouth to keep
his merriment in. The man looked
again and rubbed his eyes, but there
was no mistake.
He looked at the boy in his lap.
Behind the tears was a face that he
had never seen before. He had spank.
