ANNUAL DINNER AT THE CITY
 MISSION.

150 Mothers and Their Little Children
 at the Tables-Successfu Work of the
 Wonen's Executive Committee.
 The entire auditorium at the City Mission House was occupied Wednes- day afternoon as dining hall for the women and little children connected with the Mothers meetings, which are held at that place every Wednesday af- ternoon. The occasion was the annual dinner given by the woman's executive committee of the City Missionary asso- ciation to the members of the Mothers meeting, and those in charge may well be satisfied with the success of their eff forts, which seemed to surpass that of all former occasions.
 From 2:30 to 3:30 D. m. a devotional meeting was held in the lecture room which was filled to overfowing. Mrs. Katherine Miller led the exercises, and after the Scripture and prayer Mrs. Eleanor Shepard addressed those pres ent, the service being in part in recog- milton of her eighty-ninth birthday and of her long-continued and faithful eff forts in the city mission work. The annual offering was received from the mothers for the support of their Bible readers in India, and over forty dollars was offered, and will be sent to India through the New Haven branch of the woman's board. Hon. H. G. Newton, chairman of the board of directors of the Missionary association, also spoke, and there was solo by Mrs. Professor Williams, with piano accompaniment by Miss Caroline B. Bassett
 After all had gathered about the ta- bles in the hall below Rev. MT. Moss man, the missionary pastor, made a short address of welcome and asked the divine blessing. The long tables were abundantly spread for the one hundred and fifty or more who were seated about them between thirty and forty little children having a table all to themselves. The flowers upon the diff ferent tables were in part kindly given by Florists Veitch and Monroe, and af- ter the dinner were sent to some of the sick ones who could not be present. A vase filled with beautiful flowers was sent by Mrs J. M. Peck to Mrs. Shep- ard as birthday gift, and box oi roses from the tables was sent to Mrs A. E. Lanes, one or tne HrsI presidents of the woman's executive committee but now confined to her house by sick ness. Loving mention was also made of Miss Hume, who for so many years wsa always present and always helpful at these meetings, and also in prepara- ton for them through the year.
 Mrs. H. B. Sturgess was chairman oi the committee in charge of the tables assisted by Mrs L. S. Graves, the lady missionary, and the following members es the woman's executive committee

s'Work Day" Offering for Epworth Orphanase,

We have planned to have a"work day"
offering in favor of the Epworth Orphan
age, on Oct. the Goth, inst. We desire to
have as many people as will to donate
their earnings of that day to the support
of the Orphanage.
There are thousands of men and women,
boys and girls, who could well afford to
give the earnings of one day to the sup
port of cause so worthy and deserving
as that of providing for the more than one
hundred fatherless little ones placed un-
der the care of the Methodist church in
South Carolina, for support and training
It will be a small matter to the individual
to make this contribution, but the gifts of
the many will aggregate helpful sum for
the care of the orphans. Let some one
be appointed in every community to take
charge of the offerings and remit to US,
bu, if preferable the Individual may send
his own offering. We hope the children
throughout the State will be encouraged
to take an active part in this matter, and
that all the friends of the orphans will
cooperate with us in making the day a
success. W. B. WHARTON, Supt.,

LAWYER and Judge Agreed

The ninth district of Ohio was repre-
sented in con gress by Judge Hall, and this
good story is toldof him, says the Nash
vile Banner:
A case of some Importance was reached
on the docket, and the parties and wit.
nesses were on hand. The attorney for
the plaintiff, Charles Brown, was consid.
erably in his cups, condition which
seemed chronic with the really brilliant
lawyer. He submitted motion after mo-
tiop. and the court did not appear to hu'
NOR his extravagant demands, realizing,
too, that the attorney was not in condi'
ton to proceed with the case. Brown
was persistent, and Judge Hall, becom-
ing somewhat irritated, said:
ut is the opinion of the court that the
counsel for the plaintiff is peculiarly dis
qualified at this time for conducting this
case before the court"
what is that, your honor?" demanded
the intoxicated lawyer.
"The court believes the counsel for the
plaintiff entirely too drunk to continue
with the case" .-...
"That is the first correct decision I ever
knew your honor to render"

"Your home paper never loses interest

personal matters or petty spites to inter-
fere with his gathering. He mayme

best friends chronicles your success and
sorrows wherever you may be, and those
who would otherwise forget you are ever
and after reminded of your existence by
an item in your home paper. Others may
deceive and defraud you, but your home
paper never forgets you. Possibly you
do not deserve decent treatment by the
paper, but you get it just the same and II
it should at any time say things to
cause your fur to turn the wrong way,

various times said many nice things to1
which you fail to give it credit.-Portland

A Priceless Puzzle,

Observation-Disclosures
Last summer the writer discovered some
hard, yellowish Jumps in the Eden and
Kolb Gem melons and on examination,
found numerous miniature holes on the
"bottomside'' of them, proving evidently
that the hole and Jumps were made by
external insects, The same conditions
have been observed this year, and only
few days ago, in bisectinga "Rattler," sew
eral Jumps of yellowish growth were seen
in It. Melons disagreed with numbers of
people last season and scores have had to
forego them this, as they invariably
made them sick. Now, WHAT'S the cause?
Perhaps these ".pestiferous little pests"
and the hybridization of the Jim Cobb"
with the "Rattler" or Mountain Sweet
may be, but an answer from some one
better Informed will be awaited with in
terest. No doubt the bureau of entomol-
ogy may know all about the matter, but
some of our backwoodsmen would like to
be enlightened also.
But it is to be hoped that the little germ
worm "Cossacks," or whatever they are,
will not attack the popular cukes and
'loupes, and especially Capt. Mathis's
forthcoming Eden Cant" sample of
which is now on exhibition at the Worlds
Fair in St. Louis.
1t is patent to the older folks that befo'
de wah "buckra and niggah" could eat
the luscious fruit with impunity in the
day time, just so it was plucked in the
early morn.
Like certain verse in the Scripture
which ends in the same words it begins
with find it, ye Bible.readers) this letter
will close with the ontset quotation.

Went Barefooted to Save Her Shoes.

A pretty blonde stenographer created a
sensation on Fifteenth street yesterday
afternoon during the storm, says the Den.
yer Republican. She had gone out to
lunch and when she left the restaurant
she saw that it would be impossible to re-
turn to an Office in the Mining Exchange
building, where she was employed, with
out damaging her new white low shoes
and pair of fancy stockings. So she de-
liberately removed the shoes and stock
ings and started down street barefooted.
Policeman Michael Horkins stood at the
corner of 18th and Curtis streets when he
saw the young woman coming down the
street. She was followed by big crowd
and she was running to escape. In her
hand she carried her shoes and stockings.
Horkins attempted to find out what all
the trouble was about, but the young wo-
man disappeared in the Mining Exchange
building.
"What did you do it for?" asked the
policeman.
81 had no idea it would attract any at
tention," replied the young lady. II had
to get back here in a hurry and I didn't
want to ruin my shoes" On the desk in
front of her were the shoes, pair of white
kids.

cAIrsE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused BY q
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t is Inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused by
percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and danger of lockjaW
avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm freely as soon as the injury is re:
ceived. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and
causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to
heal without maturation and in one third
the time required by usual treatment. Il

The Backwoods Prophet Comes Again.

The Backwo0ds Prophet Comes Again.
Editor The Bamberg Herald.-As the
"prophecies of backwoodsman" were
kindly published in last weeks Herald
and copied in The State ofthe 7th instant
he will venture another, but wishes to
state here that he got flour and cotton a
little "mixed" in the previous one. He
intended to say that -four would advance
before December prox., and cotton would
reach 124 cents ere March, '05. Though
predictions often fail any one is entitled
to his opinions.
He now predicts that Judge Parker, if
not elected president, will not miss it by
100000 popular votes, and the house OF
representative will probably 60 Demo.
cratic. Why? There are 100000 more
Democratic than Republican voters in the
United States according to the census
statistics of 1900, and yet Mckinley de-
feated Bryan by $4,000 votes that year
(The popular vote may be Democratic,
yet the Republican candidate can get the
majority in the electoral college.)
The silver cranks, money planks, pop
ulists, trusts, monopolies, and various
laboring unions were under the control OF
Mark Hanna & Co. then and literally
carried over near 100000 votes to the
Republican column. This year some Of
these things will change, and besides the
strenuous, autocratic, imperialistic poll
cies of Roosevelt will cause thousands of
the moneyed, business Republicans north
to cast, it may be, secret ballot for Park
er and Davis.
Watch the result in November!

Rose Equal to the Emergency.

AS an old colored preacher who had
been conducting a revival meeting was
reaching the end of his series, he appear
ed before the congregation one night, says
the Indianapolis News, and spoke thus:
Brethren and sisters, come befo' you
all wholly unprepared with my text. I
hab been preaching all sots of things and
to show tine brethren and sisters that I
nave not said all that I know, will ask
that some mmebah of this congregation
suggest subject and I will preach about
it to you" ....
For several minutes there was an en-
barrassing silence while the minister
scowled over the top of his glasses wait
ing for some one to propose topic.
No one seemed anxious to take adVan-
tage of the opportunity until finally lit
tie fellow in the back part of the church
yelled out, pills" There was snicker
as the preacher cleared his voice and said ::
"Pills. 1 hab been requested by some
membah Of this congregation to discourse
befo' you all on pills Now brethren and
sistern, am not familiar wild de ways of
medicine for I am a preacher man, but as
l said I would talk on any subject that
was proposed, pills will be my text. Now
