\ specially attractive entertainment is
being planned to take place on next Fri
day evening 1T the chapel of the Carlisle
Fitting School. 1t is one that should re-
ceivc the hearty and generous support Of
the people of the town, Judging by the
unceasing and faithful efforts being put
forth by the several ladies in charge to
assure its complete success and by the
large representation and enthusiastic CO.
operation of the young people participant
ing in it--notablv the pretty young ladies
of the town and school. AS to the exact
nature of the evenings program it may
be described as u most interesting series
of exhibitions in pantomimes, tableaux,
monologues, and particularly, scarf fam
tastics, appropriate accompaniment OF
music, interspersed with musical rendi-
tions by prominent local vocalists and
musicians. No insignificant part of the
array of beauty, splendor and loyciness
to be exhibited on this occasion will be
the beautiful costumes gracefully enfold-
ing the figures of beautiful maidens and
the striking grouping of the beautiful
maidenS themselves-a variety OF sucn
picturesque scenes and enhancing visions
as cannot fail to charm. Indeed slight
paraphrase of Wordsworth will fifty de-
scribe these scenes as
Phantoms of delight
When first they CLEAN upon thy sight;
And lovely apparitions sent
TO be moments ornament.
Humorous incidents and laughable cpl
sodes may also find place on the pro-
gram. Some of the Fitting School boys
will participate in the entertainment:
Altogether, the painstaking and careful
practice and drills of all concerned, under
the direction of particularly competent
lady managers, and the general interest
manifested on all sides, fully assures its
success.
The real object of the entertainment
is the desire to raise funds sufficient to
improve the interior Of the Girls Board
ING Hall. Hence an admission fee OF 20
cents for adults and Is cents for children
will be asked. Also refreshments will be
served after the close of the regular pro-
gram and reception in addition may be

The story is told that on one of our
missionary fields a native approached the
missionary and declared that he wished
to join the church. He was carefully ex-
amined, as is the custom, and answered
satisfactorily most, if not all, of the ques-
tions put to him. Just before completing
the examination the missionary asked the
native if he had a wife. Eyes" he re-
piled, 81 have two" "Well," said the
missionary, 1--WE cannot receive you into
the Baptist Church if you have two wives.
We are sorry, because you give good
account of yourself, but so long as you
have two wives we cannot receive you
into the membership of the Church" +"
Some time elapsed, and the native ap-
peared again before the missionary and
stated that there was now no objection
to his entering the church. The mission
ary said; "HoW about your second wife?"
"Oh," replied the native, "that's all right.
