An Amusing Story of the Famous
Artists BOyhOOd Days.
In the days when Edwin A. Abbey
the distinguished illustrator and paint
er, was a small boy he had the habit
of critically scrutinizing every dish that
was set before him at the table, much
TO the embarrassment of his family.
His frequent dismissals from the table
were but ineffective reproofs, and
! something had to be done to work a
cure.
Eddie" said his mother one day, 81
heard thee speak about going to Cousin
| Martha's for dinner next Sunday, and
l am afraid we will have to make thee
| stay at home until thee learns polite
ness at the table. Thy picking at food
would mortify me-"
This threatened deprivation reduced
the boy to tears, and after he had sol
emnly promised not to look at every
thing according to his habit he was
told that he might go.
The day came, and a large and mer-
ry family gathered to do justice to
tempting meal. Each of the little folks
had glass of delicious rich country
milk at his place.
Noticing that Edwin was surrepti-
tiOusly glancing at his glass, Mrs. Alb
bey observed, with a well understood
meaning. Edwin. why art thou not
drinking thy milk?'
With determined air tho boy hasti-
ly picked up the glass and, shutting his
eyes as tight as possible, gulped its
contents down.
This sudden procedure attracted the
attention of all the guests, and, fearing
at least a severe scOlding, the boy ex-
claimed, Il did it, mother; II swal-
lowed it,"
Swallowed what?" hurriedly asked
Mrs. Abbey. now more alarmed than
amused.

A STATEMENT has been furnished 10
the Presbyterian press by the stated
clerk of the General Assembly, show
ing the standing of the denomination
as reported to the Los Angeles Assem-
bly,, compared with the figures of a
year ago. The statistics that will cause
most comment relate to the falling off
OF accessions to the church by exami-
natlon-that is, of persons for the first
time uniting with any church. The
number reported for 1902 1903 is nine
ty-two less less than the year before
a slight decrease, but decrease new
ertheless. Some synods show an in
crease. and some opposite. In the
Synod of Pennsylvania the decrease
was 966 greater than in anv other
synod of the church. The additions to
the denomination by certificate from
other churches showed an increase of
2O62 over the preceding year, while
the entire membership of the Presbv-
terrain Church is greater by %, 1s9 per-

Two window washers were at work
on the Lodges of the sixteenth story
windows of downtown office building
about ten feet from each other. AS thew
hung to their straps and washed and
polished the glass they could look into
the offices, where a number of clerks
were bending over ledgers and books.
For half hour they worked and
watched the clerks, who did not move
from their confined position over their
books. Finally one big window washer
leaned back as far as his strap would
permit and called to his fellow.
