FOUNTAIN PEN PERFECTION
The Quaker City Self-FiIling Fountain Pen Fills Itself and Thereby Fills.
 long-Feit Want.

Free HfeSS.
 Any reliable time saver is eagerly Probably the most forceful illustration Probably the most forecuf illustration of this condition of things in recent years was the enthusiasm with which the fountain pen was greeted. It seemed to mean the saving of so much time and annoyance for so many peo- pie that it's sale was simply phenome- nal.
 But the fountain pen was not by any means perfect and it's users soon dis covered that the bother was only con- centrated, instead of being dispensed with. The finest fountain pen would write indifferently we'll as long as there was ink in it but, when that gave out our busy man had to stop, unscrew an inky cap, hunt around for a filler and the partiouar ink recommended by the manufacturers of that particu- dar pen and so on through a long pro- cess of annoyance.
 The manufacturers of the Quaker City elf-FiHing Fountain Pen have overcome all this bother and produced practical writing tool which is as easy to use as if one were simply writing with the filler needed for the old pen. There is nothing to unscrew, nothing to squirt, nothing to lose or get out of order. Its construction is simple and substantial and the opera ton of filling it so simple that you wonder nobody thought of it before.
 It is merely necessady to dip the pen pressing it slightly, lift up as us uaI and go on writing. Its capacity is no. less than the bothersome kind.

THE. POOR MAN AND THE CHURCH

There seems 20 be disposi ion on
the part Of many Of tho churches Of
tho country to disregard the spiritual
welfare Of tho roor man in favor Of
the rich.
1t is unfortunate, but too true.
Men and women of wealth and so.
called refinement dominate tho great
majority of the houses of worship,
with the result that tho poor work
ingman is gradually Incoming forced
to the conclusion that he is out of his
element and not wanted
Many Of our ministers, while well
meaning perhaps, preach to tho
higher social set and forget that n
heart beats in the breast of a poor
man in shabby clothes who occupies
the back seat.
If he makes his appearance ut tho
social affairs he is looked at nskanco
and made to feel his inf,riorty.
When woman in fine raiment passes
him she gathers up her skirts in fear
of coming into contact with ono of
the "common people"
And what does the poor man do?
After receiving q few of those re.
buils he comes to the conclusion that
thoro is no place in the,house Of God
for him, and remains away.
And where docs the fault lie?
With the minister and the rich
man. With the minister because he
fails to uso his position to bring
about better feeling of Christinn
spirit between the two extremes.
With the rich man because of his
presumption in considering himself
above a man who is honest bat Door.
The house Of God should be q
place of refuge for all people, and
tho soul Of the poor man should be
cherished rs much as the man with
his millions.
