That WORD "OBET.'

Slowly, but surely, lovely woman
vii have all her demands granted.
Her latest victory was gained when
the r. vision committee Of the General
Synod of the Reformed Church OF
America reported in favor of cutting
out the word 'ohey from the brides
part Of the marriage service.
This is favor that will be appre-
ciated by the feminine members of
the Reformed Church, but, alter all,
"obey' in the marriage services has
come to mean about as much as E'dear'
does at the beginning Of a letter. 1t
is put there for euphony alone.
Long ago men ceased to regard that
"vbey' seriously, and women never
did.
it was the man in the case who, the
other day, asked clergyman TO leave
this word out when he read the SER
vice over him. 81 don't want my
wife to promise to obey, if | don't. l
think it is urjnst,' SAID tits BRIDE
groom.
oh. won't leave it out" replied
the clergyman, easily, ''for that would
spoil the beauty of the service, and if
you don't give any orders she won't
have to obey, so, really, the case is in
your hands,
"To love, honor and obey" sounds
we'll, so what does it matter that the
latter promise is more honored in the
breach that IN the observance?
They are laughing in Washington
over rebuke that sentry Of one of
the departments administered recently
to the the Russian Ambassador coach
man.
The coachman, it appears wished to
drive his masters carriage a'ong a
roadway, that, for some reason, was
barred. When the sentry refused to
let the carriage pass, the coachman
demonstrated.

bassador."

try.
"Let me trough persisted the
coachman, "My master is re Count
Cassini, re Ambassador Extraordinary
and Minister P!enipotentiary of re

''Frenchy," said the sentry, Il
wouldn't let you through even if your
master was free-born American citi-

SIZE LIKED IT.

On the k,onprinz Wilhelm one
moon light May night, a young man
and girl were discovered making
love. TIE news Of this di, covery
spread among the passengers and
many joke was crooked. But Sen
ator N. B. Scott, of West Virginia
said in the smoking room:
"There is nothing to laugh at here.
Innocent love-makirg is natural in
the young. This fact was we'll brought
out by an adventure that happened tt
a friend Of mine, years ago, in the
me untains Of West Virginia
"The young man was hunting. lie
came to a lonely cabin, and, bling
thirsty, he knocked at the door and
asked for drink. The drink was
handed to him by girl SO charming
that, with smile, he said:
"Wou,d you be angry if I should
offer you dollar for kiss:'
"No, sir" the girl answered with a
little blush.
so my friend took the kiss, and
then he gave the maiden the dollar.
She balanced it in ker hand mo-
ment. She knitted her pretty brows
in perplexity.
"What," she asked shall l do with
all this money!
"Why, anything you please, my
DEAR said my friend.

TOWN TOPICS.
HERBERT L. BRIDGMAN'S LEG
TURE.

THE RESERVED SEATS ARE NOW ON
sALE.-AS EVERY SEAT IN THE TOWN
HALL is MARKED OUT ON THF
| CHARTS TO HAVEA GOOD SEAT YOU
MUST SECURE IT BEFORE JANUARY
II, 1903, THE DATE OF THE LECTURE
One thing which, with many others,
shows the great strides made by man
in the past century is the taking OF
portion by portion away from the I'M
explored regions of the earth. A cen
fury ago, in 1902, only about one-fifth
| Of the earth'S land surface was known.
In 1902, more, than ten-eleventhS of
the land of the planet has been map
ped with a fair degree Of accuracy,
| considerably less than one-eleventh re-
at the north and south poles do UNI
known regions of any great area re-
main; and these are steadily shrinking
owing to the persistent efforts OF
courageous men to invade them. The
UNEMPLOYED area at the north pole is
| approximately three million square
| miles in extent, but necessarily very
irregular in outline, various eXpedi-
tiOnS having pushed their way to the
pole much nearer in some places than
| in others. When it is considered that
an approach has actually been made
| to within 236 miles Of the northern
| extremity Of the earth's axis, it is APP
parent that sooner or later that inter-
esting geographical point will be
reached by man. In fact, it is reason
ably safe to predict that it will be
reached within the next 20 years.
This is another little sketch about the
pole. BY this time we hope that you
are becoming quite interested, for the
reserved seat tickets ere already on
sale. You will find them with R. H..
Beers & Co. in Newtown Street, with
Taylor, Curtis & Co. in Sandy Hook,
with A. B. Brakeman in Botsford, and
with E. G. Platt in HawIeyville. In
anyone of these places you will have a
good selection of seats shown on the
charts Thirty-fve cents admits an
adult and Csc admits one under fifteen
years of age. Every seat in the Town
hall is to be reserved. The title of
the lecture is ''Peary's Progress to the
Pole" and the lecturer is Herbert L..
Bridgman, Secretary of the Peary
Arctic club, who has made two vOy-
ages far among the ice barriers that
block the way to the pole. The lee
ture is to be Illustrated with views
that were taken right where there are
the six-months' day and the six
months night. The proceeds of the
lecture go to provide II free subscrip-
tions to the Newtown library to be
awarded to the pupils in the High
school for scholarship.

Perhaps the last of the children s part

lie to the chime of the Christmas bells
was that held in the Congregational
parsonage when Edward Lloyd Barker
entertained few of his friends. The

was one boy who enjoyed the sweets of
