aLucky With Women"

In some parts of Ireland it is the
custom of the farmers to deposit
money in the bank in the joint names
Of husband and wife, so that when
one dies the survivor can draw out
the money without any legal formali-
ties. To a farmer who made applica-
ton for money deposited for himself
and wife, the manager of the bank
asked: "Why, Pat how can this be?
L is not much more than a year since
you came with an application on the
death of your wife?" We'll, your
tonor," was the reply, I'm bit lucky

Unconscious Patriotism.

What looked like patriotic display
was observed in a smart haberdasher's
window the other day. The enterpris-
ing artist who arranges the windows
had put in an array of blue shirts, the
very latest and smartest as to color
and cut. On these very important az
ticles of mems apparel he had ar
ranged red ties, likewise the latest in
masculine fashion. OF course the ex-
pansive white collars that topped the
shirts lent the third and final note to
the Fourth of July effect, as striking
as it was unconscious.-New York

Best place for a shIrtwaIst.

A shirtwaist is all right in its place.
1t is useless to state where it's place is.
One good place is in your arms. You
should never forget that one shirt
saist in your arms is worth dozen
hanging on a clothesline. In fact, a
shirtwaist floating around in wash
tub is a sad and solemn sight. It is
calculated to remind you Of the dear

and old barrels, and when gaze upon
the limp form of q 50-cent shirtwaist
in soap suds it makes me feel that
the time will soon come when it, too,
will be gathered to its fathers and
mothers. Yes, my friends, the shirt
waist is all right on a woman, but

rise up in their might and help me
keep it off the men. 1t is hateful
enough to see women wearing mems
clothes, but when IL comes to men
wearing women's garments, then

patch of woods and die-Rural Re

The Souls INSIGHT.

There IS in man a power to see the
invisible, to hear the inaudible, to
know the unknowable, to enter into
the non-conscious and the spiritual;
but this power lies in many man
dormant. Glimmerings of light come
to him, 4iimpses Of the invisible are
afforded to him, but for the most part
he walks by sight and not by faith.
He must be born from above. The
power to see the invisible must be
awakened. He must be lifted out of
his lower self; out Of a lower realm
into a higher realm Then he sees
what he did not before see; he under
stands what he did not before under

A Bad HIunder.

Every barrister is well aware that
tact in the management of the judge
is a great thing. One day a certain
treasury counsel was driving over a
well-known bridge on his way to the
Quartpr Sessions.
Noticing the chairman of the ses-
sions trudging along in the mud and
rain, the barrister instantly stopped
the hanson and offered him a lift. The
offer was at once accepted and the
pair proceeded to their destination in
great amity.
AS soon as they arrived the learned
counsel hurried into the courthouse,
as he had an important application to
make Immediately the chairman had
taken his seat. But to his intense
surprise and chargin the application
was curtly refused
The barrister was completely non
plused at the sudden change in the
demeanor Of the chairman, until the
usher, in husky whisper, supplied
the explanation by asking:
DO you know what you've done,
sir?"
Il haven't the slightest idea. What
ever can it be?" was the reply.
why, sir, you ran in and left the
chairman to pay for your cab. Tit
