There is a certain little girl who is
very fond of Lot Livermore. She al
ways calls him Lot and apparently
he is the only Lot of which she knows.
Recently while in Sunday school, her
Sunday school teacher desired to
impress her with the Importance OF
obedience, and said: Lots wife was
turned to pillar of salt because she
did not obey the Lord" Noticing the
shocked expression on the little girls
face, the teacher said: Wasn't that
sad?" My, won't Lot feel bad" said
the little girl; "and Mr.. Livermore is
such a nice man, too"

MARRIAGE CAUSED SCARCITY OF
TEACHERS AND HE3AssuMEp
TEMPORARY. CHARGE

| OYSTER BAY. July 25.-Theodore
| Roosevelt, Jr., son Of the President
is appearing every Sabbath morning
in the Episcopal Sunday School here
| as the leader of forlorn hope.
When he consented to become the
teacher of seven restless Oyster Bay
youngsters it was not only because he
has deep interest in the Sunday
School. where he attended as child,
but also because cupid has lately been
making holes in the ranks of the Sun
day School teachers in Christ church.
Young Teddy's class has had hard
luck of late. Miss Marietta Underhill
had them in charge until she was mar
ried and went away to Connecticut to
live. Then Miss Edith Duffy tried
her hand at impressing the morals of
the Sunday morning lesson upon the
minds of the uncomfortable young
sters, and then she gave up the task
for reasons of her own.
Miss Minnie Van Volkenburg and
Miss Kittie Ebert succeeded in the
order given, and finally the seven sun
burned boys, miserable in starched
Sunday shirts and hats and hot shoes
and stockings, were again without a
teacher.
But the stock of teachers could not
last forever, SO young Roosevelt threw
himself into the breach three Sundays
ago and he began at once to supple
ment the regular lesson with talks
about the most interesting and Won
derful men who lived in the Bible
days He began also to talk about
trapezes and gymnasums= generally
and how the folks in the days of the
children Of Israel were not much diff
ferent after all from the people In
Oyster Bay to-day.
The first Sunday the young teacher
told about how David went out with
sling and bowled over the giant of
the Philistines, and the seven young
sters began to sit UP and take notice.
Last Sunday he related the wonderful
story about David's relation with Saul.
He told the story we'll, and there

POLITE
LARCENY

A few days ago one of the Pitts
burg railroads carried large com
pany of well-lznown men over its
line in a special train. professional
men and politicians, business men and
manufacturers, all were represented
and the party was really notable
one. In the course of the journey a
banquet was spread and the Dartak.
ing of it brought the hundred or more
men together in great good fellow
ship.
The banquet was served by the ca
terer of one of the Iig clubs of the
city The service was in every way
appropriate to the occasion and the
caterer must have felt well satisfied
with his work. However that may be,
his feelings underwent a change when
the table furnishings lie had supplied
were returned A very considerable
portion of them were missing.
The railroad official who had charge
of the trip, and consequently the ban
quet, shared in the feelings of the ca
terer when the bill for the feast was
sent to him. OF course, an under
standing had been reached before
hand as to what the banquet was to
cost, but at the Bottom of the bill this
item appeared: ITO silyerware taken
during banquet, $76.' The official got
into communication with the caterer
and learned, very much to his sur
prise. that his guests had enjoyed the
banquet SO much that surprising
number of them wanted mementos
of the affair. Then they helped them
selves to spoons and salad forks.

and discovered that it was made in

from the match holder and slipped it
quietly into his pocket. When he
called for his bill a few moments
later the waiter added this item:

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken intJ the human system for the same cleans Ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on. ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and Im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; ir disInfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is in stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow Charcoal. and other harmless antiseptIcs in tablet form or rather in tha form of large, pleasant tasting Iozenees, the charcoal being mixed with 
 honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion. sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but on the contrary. great benefit.
 Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T ad- wise stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is great ly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet be- lieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
