ALWAYS SAW DOUBLE.

A remarkable story can be verified
by well-known oculist in Kansas
City. In one of the counties of
Western Kansas is a cattleman who
has grown wealthy. His wife, a
charming woman of some 40 years,
recently began to have severe head
aches. A local physician decided
that the trouble was with her eyes.
The family could not believe it, as
she had very keen sight from both
far and near. However, the husband
took her to an oculist in Kansas CITY
for expert examination. In the
course of the examination the pro-
tessional man held up a candle and
asked her what she saw. 81 see the
two lights" she answered calmly.
"Two!" exclaimed the surprised hus-
band. "Have you always seen two
of me when you looked at me?"
"Why, certainly, DEAR" was her an
swer, "don't you always see two of
me?"
And then came the revelation that
THIS educated, intelligent woman had
never known in all her 40 years of
life that everybody didn't see double.
She had accepted her own condition
as matter of course. 1t instantly
accounted to the husband for little
indefinite movements which he had
frequently observed in his wife when
she was reaching for an object, and
1t was matter of great astonish-
ment to the woman when by an
adjustment of glasses and thorough
treatment she began to see as other
people do.-hdnSds City Journal.

DOG PARTY IN WASHINGTON

The dog had his day, or rather
his afternoon, in Washington, when
the Misses Bell, daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles j. Bell, of that CITY.
gave an afternoon tea and garden
fete to their pet dogs and invited all
the fashionable CANNES of the capital
to attend with their mistresses. The
affair was a great success and there
was gathered on the beautiful lawn
of the Bell country home, on Wood
ley lane, all the leaders of Washing
ten society, accompanied by dogs of
ali breed, but of only the highest
class and condition. The invitations
read that "the pleasure of the COM
pany of Miss - and her dog -
was requested by the Misses Bell and
their dogs - at tea Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock. ."-Eechan0e.

A wOMAN's MEETING.

For the first time in my life have
had the privilege of attending a
public meeting called and con trolled
exclusively by ladies.
1t was devoted to cause of infinite
dignity and Importance, and man
aged with wonderful success to the
best interests of humanity and the
glory of Almighty God.
The meeting was held at Mobjaok,
Mathews county, and was called and
controlled by the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Rappahan-
mock District of the Virginia Metho.
dist Conference. 1t commenced on
Monday evening, May 29th, and con
tinued until Thursday, June 1st.
Large and deeply interested congre-
cations were in attendance. Miss
Fanny Robinson,of Lancaster county,
was president, and Mrs. Covington,
of Northum berlsnd, was secretary.
have long been familiar with the
organization of public bodies from
the State Legislatures and Congress
to the great religious and political
organizations Of the country, but
have never seen any in which the
duties of presiding officer and secre-
tary were more efficiently performed,
and none in which they were per-
formed as gracefully. Large and
deeply interested congregations at
tended all of its meetings.
Many of the ministers came to
"help the women," among them ]
remember Rev. Drs. Wray, Morse,
Ferguson and Rev. Messrs. Babcock,
DeShazo and Ware, the pastor, who
delivered addresses of great power,
which will be long remembered.

SEVEN LIES OF MEN.


Behold the seven lies of man
And tell his age by that;
As soon ss he can lisp he says:
! "It must have been the cat"
Next. when the baseball team begins
TO make its thrilling score,
His well-loved grandmamma falls dead
A dozen times or more.
Third, like furnace does he Sigh;
OF Course we know the gist;
He tells the maiden fair she is
The first he ever kissed.
Fourth age, he comes home in the morn
And glsduess fills his cup
The good Samaritan has been
With sick friends sitting up.
Fifth, 10 the woedshed he repairs
His heir to interview,
And says; "My son-kerswstl Kerswisb!
This hurts me more than YOU"
He next has leisure on his hand
And fills a jug with bait,
He hooks minnow, then he swears
Ten pounds to be It's weight.
Last age, when lean and slippered grown,
He fnds his grestest joy
In telling what perfection ruled
The days he was boy.

ST. LOUIS COLLEGE
THEATRICALS

! On Thursday evening June 23rd. the
pupils of ST. Louis College. will give
an entertainment in their elegantly
| furnished hall. A fine program con-
tanning musical selections, drama come
| dy and song, has been prepared The
numbers have been carefully selected
and thoroughly rehearsed, so that ali
will bear finished appearance. The
drama If 1 Were a King is consider
ed the most meritorious number, in
which some of the brightest juniors OF
the College will appear and vie with
each other in the rendition of lines
full of wit and choice language.
The scene of the play is laid in
Naples and the plot centers on a num-
Der of shepherd boys. Under guidance
OF their chief, whom they surnamed
Shepherd King" they are induced to
proceed to the palace of King Ferdi-
nand to deliver traitorous messages
which they found. The King on one OF
his nocturnal promenades with his
courtiers discovers the chief of shep-
herds, who from over-fatigue and
mental exertions, caused by the scenes
he has witnessed, gives utterance to
his feelings while asleep near his
flocks. Ferdinand hearing Genaro, as
the shepherd chief is called, singing
his wish to be king, at once orders the
shepherd lad to be conveyed to the
palace. Here the joke begins. The
shepherd lad is invested with all the
insignia of royalty and receives the
most respectful homage of the courti-
ers Meanwhile the shepherd boys ar
rive at the Court, and to their great
establishment behold their chief in the
capacity of supreme ruler of Naples.
The royal shepherd, who but few
days before saved the life of the young
prince adds to this heroic deed honors, |
which Ferdinands lack of vigilance |
lost to him. Genaro convenes the |
court, discloses the conspiracy, has the |
traitors arrested and by his eloquence |
overwhelms the court. The |
royal shepherd effects his escape after |
peace is restored. but Ferdinand sends |
officers to search for him and to bring |
back the savior OF the crown" The !
climax is reached when the king makes |
the discovery, that Genaro and his |
little brother are his children kid |
mapped years ago. Alberto the young |
prince embracing his brothers is the !
pleasing picture with which the play
ends.
The cast is a large one, and the play
ers will be deliberately costumed. The
costumes arrived per Alameda the 10th
inst.
Several beautiful settings executed
by the College artist, will add materi-
ally to making the play realistic.
In the second part of the program
a comedy entitled Capital vs.. Labor
will be presented. The principal char
acters are: a retired judge, his secre-
tary, a mechanic and three servants,
a Dutch cook and two darkies.
The box plan is open at the Terri
torial Messenger Service. where the
tickets sold by the pupils are to be
axchansed for counnn Tickets

Every lady was presented with a
carton in red with a black silk tassel,

mission there was punch for the fair
sex and the mobiles made pilgrimages
to the "oasis" in the basement, where
