Pastors Lost Chance.

From the New York Women.
 The minister was entertaining q party of friends at dinner after service few Sundays ago when one of them, who was experiencing difficulty in getting change for a large bill, confessed that he had been sorely tempted to make change from the controbution box when 1t came his way. The good domino smiled and said that sometimes the "plate" met with strange adventures. "A friend of mine" he said, "a minister in the south, took his 6-year-old son with him to church one Sunday. It was the boys first experience at the regular church service. and he was all eyes and ears. The passing of the contribution box especially interested him, and when it got to him he handled the contents with great curiosity. After ser vice the boy, while talking with his father at the pulpit, said, with a jerk of his head toward the plate. which was ly- ing near: How much did you get out of that, popT Out of whatg said his father. Why, out of the box. 1 got 10 cents. How much did you get?

Democratic Saratoga.
rom Everybody's Magazine.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 Saratoga in August Is the meeting point of the prince and the pauper. On the saratopa piazzas in the forenoon you nav see more people representing wealth than anywhere else In America except at the Newport casino. And then again. across the street on the "ten icent" side you will see as great poverty as the east side knows. But 1t Is not offensive poverty nor ill-dessed poverty. There are no white faces nor gaunt cheeks. It is the indulgence of the gypsey and of him who takes chances with fate. The poor of Saratoga, in fact, are less offensive than some of its rich.
