THE WIFE, THE CHURCH, THE So
Irving Parke allowed himself to be
persuaded to accompany his wife to
church and, of course, after he got
there he found that part Of the service
was devoted to raising a small fund
for church repairs. His first feelings
Of resentment wore away under the
pleadings of the preacher, and when
his wife handed $5 to the usher he
thought Of the economy she must have
practiced to have saved that much out
of her allowance.
But the fund still lacked small
sum Of being complete, and as the
other men, spoke good word for the
cause, at the same time giving from
their cash surplus, Mr.. Parke felt the
spirit possessing him.
I'VE all want to see our church kept
in good repair" he said, "and 1 will
supplement my wife's gift with IS
more"
As he said this he felt in his fob
pocket for a $5 bill, which he had
placed there the night before. 1t was
gone. He felt in other pockets, his
embarrassment growing each moment,
and then, as If an inspiration had come
upon him, he. turned an accusing look
on his wife.
Mrs. Parke flushed, the congrega-
tion, which had been enjoying the
scene, burst into laughter, contribu-
tions were called off for the day, and
the preacher pronounced the benedic-
ton.

ed!"-Iouth's Companion.
