There were vestrymen and deacons by
the score, running over the records in
search of their annual supply of SER
mons. No longer were the rectors and
pastors of parishes compelled to burn
the midnight oil preparing their dis
courses for the morrow. The ability to
preach and the capacity to think deeply
upon the spiritual needs of man were
no longer required of the clergy. The
Noxophone' Company had stepped in
and placed them in such shape that
they might be reeled off mechanically
to the satisfaction of all concerned by
the mechanical device which the COM
pany controlled. Similarly had lecturers
and commencement orators in our col
leges gone down before the voxophone
substitute, and, judging from the
throngs that / found in the office,
everybody was content with the new
order of things. But it was the after
dinner branch of this oratory trust that
I had come to look into, and l was not
long in getting a line on the precise
workings of the new method. The
walls of the post-prandial branch were
hung with placards such as the follow

Scarcely believing my eyes, 1 turned
to the shelves by which the huge shop
was surrounded, standing back of the
broad mahogany counters, behind
which very courteous statesmen at
tended to the wants of customers On
these were arranged in almost inter-
minable lines rows Of packages, the
labels denoting their contents. These
l was soon able to ascertain, were
assorted lots of speeches for special
occasions. Among others 1 noted:
"Sheriff's Panel Dinner No. II, twelve
assorted; "St. Andrews Society Spec
ial Extra, six nonpariel assorted;
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, four male and six female assort
ed, Al" and "VoXophone No. 81 for
Stag Smokers, handle with care" etc.
A glance from one end of the shelves
to the other indicated that there was
no conceivable kind of public dinner
at which oratory would be required
Amazing as all this was, and sad
dening in some of it's aspects as we'll,
the situation was not without it's
comedy features. AS my eye and ear,
for instance, rested upon the COM
plant bureau 1 discovered very ex-
cited old lady volubly denouncing the
company because the latter had sent
her stag smoker speeches for her din
ner to the Dorcas society the day be-
fore, while a vestryman from some
place in New Jersey was wildly indig-
nant because a careless preacher had
included among the sermon records
for his church Mr.. Ford's more or less
amiable address on the "Cussedness Of
Automobiles" an error which nobody
had discovered until the unfortunate
substitute was well under way.

with cylinder attachment, by which
the speeches of the evening were roared
forth from records in precisely the
same way that we of today provide

speeches is was rich, since it had all

Odd Ways OfTrOpiCaI Pets

any longer one day, after his young
master had finished shaving, the mon
key decided to initiate him. Seating
himself before his masters dressing
table, and not being very good bar
Der, he not only washed his face with
cologne, but spilled the entire bottle
over himself. Next he covered the
powder puff thickly with rowder, and
then daubed it all over his face and
neck till it looked as though 1t had
been whitewashed.
He was then just about to use the
razor. But on seeing the shaving mug
he suddenly remembered that he had
forgotten to use the shaving brush.
Dipping it in very literally he covered
his face and neck with soap lather till
it looked twice its size Grabbing the
sharp razor he held it to his cheek, just
like his young master had done.
But when he looked into the glass
he was terribly frightened at the sight
he beheld He did not even recognize
himself, for his head looked like a big
SNOWFALL
Shrieking loudly, his trembling hand
dropped the razor, and he cut his cheek
so badly that it had to be sewed up.
He suffered so much pain that he pre-
ferred in the future not to be a dandy
and never tried to shave again.
He used to steal candy, fruit and
hut ha

good respectable monkey and will
doubtless make you a nice pet" said
Jose.
At last Mrs. Reynolds listened to the
entreaties of Jose and accepted as pets
Chico and a well trained polly, a par
rot of most brilliant plumage.
Polly's gilt cage was hung to a post
on the porch. and now she was taught
to speak English as we'll as Spanish.
Chico was allowed to accompany his
new mistress on her walks and spend
hours on the porch performing his
many cute little tricks.
One. day Mrs. Reynolds had been put
ting the last finishing touches on the
stars and stripes of an American ban
ner held I'm the claws of a beautiful
stuffed eagle. Laying her paints and
brushes aside she left the porch for a
moment to call Jose.
On her return she was almost speech
less with surprise to see her pet Chico
seated on low stool in front of the
eagle with his legs crossed. The paint
pots were at his side. and with his
brush he was touching up the banner
In the same manner he had seen his
mistress do.
Meanwhile Polly was evidently scold-
ing jabbering away in English as well
as Spanish. calling him all kinds of
bad names. until Jose placed the big
eagle with outstretched wings above
the entrance OF the door.
