Southern writer tells this story
of a negro preacher version of the
parableof the Good Samaritan: There
was traveller on a lonely road, said
the preacher, who was set upon by
thieves, robbed, and left wounded
and helpless by the wayside. As
he lay there various persons passed
him, but none offered to assist him.
Presently however, a poor Samari-
tan came by, and taking pity on the
wounded mans plight, helped him
on his mule and took him TO an inn,
where he ordered food and drink
and raiment for the man, directing
the innkeeper tosend the bill to him.
And disam atrue story, breth rem, {"

Thus Saith the Prophet.

Consider now the summer bonnet

Ny son, listen unto the words Of
wisdom.
III there be q hat whereupon there
are rem roses and white daisies. and
the prices thereof is fifty shekels Of
silver.
And IL there be hat whereupon
there are green roses and blue dali

Then will the first hat stay upon
the shelf Of the market place.
And the reason thereof is that the
flowers upon the second are IN
usual. and verify the price is also.
And the Summer dress. let us
ponder q few ponderings upon it:
Now, behold, II it be decreed that
the dress shall be built for a woman
who is round. or square, or TRAN
gular, thus it shall be.
Surely even as thou sayest. there
be no woman that is round or square
or triangular.
Wherefore, why shouldest not the
dress be made TO fit the woman
Because it giveth greater joy to
make the woman fit the dress.
Yea. truly. And one taketh four
armlengths of wire and the price Of
a pound of hay in feathers and the
value of farthing in ribbons, and
sewing it together and calleth it a
poem, and the price thereof putteth
a man to sleep-yea, it throweth him
into heavy slumber.
Yet man taketh gold brick and
goeth into the highway and selleth
it as if it were millinery, is he not
clapped into prison and greatly re-
viled?
Now, the reason thereof is that
gold bricks are not in style.

A Lesson I'm Manners.

A story which belongs to a time
several years ago, when an English
duke wasa much sought after person
age in New York society, is told by
Mr.. James L. Ford. in The Brazen
CalC.
This duke, contemptuously noting
the eagerDess with which New York
ers fawned upon upon him, had form
ed the habit of going out TO dinner
without troubling himself to put on
evening dress. A lady had invited
him to dinner without knowing OF
this popularity and was awaiting
his arrival when her butler opened
the door and cast glance at her
over the heads ofintervening guests
which said plainly that something
was wrong.
She FASTENED into the hall to find
the duke standing there clad in the
checked sack suit and flaming red
tie which had seemed to him good
enough" for dinner party of Amer
lean calf worshipers. This woman,
however, had presence of mind, and
she advanced upon him radiant and
smiling.
mo, she said decisively as she
took him by the hand; 81 won't &C
cept any excuses. You've come
round to tell me why it is that you
cant dine here tonight, and it's
ever so much nicer of you to do
that than to send a note. The din
ner's little late. and you have just
time to 60 home and dress and be
back here before we begin"
The nobleman opened his mouth
to reply, but his hostess shut him
of in second: mo; you needn I
make any explanations or excuses.
Remember, you We only twenty min.
utes, so you must hurry"
A moment later the astonished
duke found himself hurrying toward
his hotel and perhaps wondering
what new social force il was thai
was impelling him in that direction.
