POSTING THE GLOVE.

One of these Old World customs dat ing from time immemorial which are still to be found fIourishing in parts of rural England was observed at Honiton recently, when in quaint phraseology the annual fair was for mally declared open. Attired in cos tune somewhat resembling that of the ancient parish beadless. with a three cornered hat, blue coat and trousers and waistcoat. plentifully ornamented with gilt braid, the town crier of the ancient borough took up his stand at midday outside the market house. As the hour struck this gorgeously at tired official delivered himself of the following announcements: "Oyez! oyez! oyez! The fairs begun. The glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down. God save the Kingn This proclamation, which was made in the presence of the borough officials and members Of the. council, annually attracts a large crowd of vis- itors and sightseers, and the as- semblage repeats in chorus the words of the proclamation. The announce ment is also made in the other parts of the town, and at the conclusion of each stoppage nuts are thrown for the crowd to scramble for. The fair dates back to the time of Henry Ill, when Isa- bella de Fortibus was the lady of the manor. The 'lglove'' is a large gilt model of glove or hand, affixed to the top of q long pole. It is displayed on the bal cony of an ancient hostelry in the cen ter of the cattle fair on Wednesday, and on Thursday is removed to the other end of the town. where the horse fair is held. The promised immunity from arrest is relic of "the good old days when the debtors laws were in existence.-London Daily Mail.

 Then the calamity, occurred. We passed by one of those drop-a-nickel- in the-slot- and-hear-the- photograph call-your-Weight contraptions. The barker for the machine was calling out: s..-z+.. q.

 I Two hundred and one!'
 T thought my wife was going to fall down. A lot of cynical bad-mannered tads around the scales snickered.

THANKSGIVING AT THE CITY MIS-
 SION HOUSE.

The everyday activity of the City Mis- sion house was considerably increased by the Thanksgiving preparations of Rev MT. Mossman and his numerous assistants. This was true not only of yesterday but also the day before when a committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs. H. B. Sturgess, Mrs. o. A. Dor man. Mrs. A. E. Miller, and Mrs. L. S. Graves, the lady missionary, were ar ranging the usual Thanksgiving gifts for the members of the weekly moth- CTS meeting. The annual Thanksgiving service of this important department of the City Missionary association was held in the auditorium yesterday aft ernoon. An audience of about 200 were present, many of whom joined in the service which was led by Mrs. Graves, the lady missionary, and included d short address by Mrs. Eleanor Shep- ard, now eighty-seven years of. age, and the oldest member of the ladies execu- tive committee, of which Mrs. H. c. Newton is the chairman and Mrs. J. D. Goodwin secretary and treasurer Miss Keller of the First Methodist church was organist. as at each of the weekly meetings At the close of the present service each of the 140 members received a spe- cial Thanksgiving gift, prepared as al- ready mentioned, and consisting of sheets, pillow eases, towels. underwear and other articles useful in their homes. Additional were the packages of vege- tables. fruit, etc, generously provided by the school children and freey given out at the Organized Charities across the street, supplemented in turn by or ders from Rev. MT. Mossman on mar ket men for poultry, etc, to complete the Thanksgiving dinners. More than 100 families, including between 800 and 500 persons were in various ways pro- vided with special helps to a comfort able Thanksgiving day through the gem erous gifts of money vegetables. fruit, etc, from friends of the City Mission for distribution to the families under mission care.
 A very pleasant feature of the mission work at the Thanksgiving season is the increasing willingness and eager- ness even of the younger people of the city to assist in this work. Help was generously given this year as last through the different schools, besides
 which was the help given to families direct from the schools. ome of the young ladies of the churches also are making earnest efforts to instruct the younger children in this service of help fulness to others, and from one of the l city churches there has already also
 been made a call for forty poor children
 who might otherwise have no Christ
 mas tree to have one 'all their own within the doors of the church.
 MT. Mossman expresses his sincere
 thanks to those who have so abundant I ly supplied the many needs that are
 continually comforting him not only at Thanksgiving time but throughout the year and has as usual made persona
 or written acknowledgment to all Whc
 have sent funds by mail or otherwise.

REACTION AGAINST DIVORCE.
Even the Laws of the States Are Be,
 ing Modified.

Even the Laws of the States Are Be
 ing Modified.
 Bishop Doane's expression of keen and almost passionate disappointment over the failure of the late Convention of the Episcopal Church to adopt a canon forbidding under all circum. stances the remarriage of divorced per sons doubtless accords with the feel, ing now dominant with the clergy and with large element of the laity of his Church. The majority at Boston, as determined by usual parliamentary methods, was in favor of the new can on. Its adoption. under the peculiar provision Of Church law which counts a divided diocese not as blank but in the negative. was prevented by minority. It is not strange that the ad- vocates of the strlcter rule are dissatis- fled with the compromise which went through and propose to continue their agitation
 But the attitude of Bishop Doane and those who argue with him is typic- al of more than one Church. The country as a whole is experiencing wholesome reaction against the free and easy divorce system which has brought so much just reproach on American States are modifying the laws which in so many instances have practically invited the filling of peti- tions. Even South Dakota has heightened the time necessary to se> cure residence. Courts responding to the general impulse, are being more careful against abusing the discretion lodged in them-are more yigilant against collision more insistent that proof shall be complete. In social life there is tendency to go back to the old opinion which regarded divorce as disgrace and visited obloquy on the divorced. The pendulum which so long swung one way is now swinging the other. Many who believe that divorce for at least one cause should be allowed nevertheless are giving the Episcopal ian reformers encouragement on the theory that it is high time to start a baekfire that the best way to get something is to ask much. It is not unreasonable to hope that the effect of the present propaganda will be mani- fest in the divorce statistics. New York Globe.
