The praise service, last Thursday evening, at the Methodist church was we'll attended. MT Ahrens led the meeting and the choir of the En- manuel Baptist church, Bridgeport, rendered some fine music which was enjoyed. After the service the ladies of the church served refreshments to the visitors and pleasant social time was enjoyed. This was the first time the lower room of the church, which has been recently fitted up as a la- dies parlor, has been used, and it is expected that this is but the begin- ming of many such pleasant evenings.

A young man from Hawleyville awoke, last Monday morning at 2 30, to find himself just bidding his Lady Love goodnight on the door steps of a house near TOwantic. The person in question claims that he really started to go at his usual time, about 12. Now it would seem that any one could get from the sofa to the door in two hours and half, so we will have to presume that Ed is rather slow, especially for the Towantic girls, who like to get a little sleep each night, but they give it up when Ed comes around. But at happy contented look each Saturday night as he starts for home and we hope it will not turn out as it did in DanburV.

Doctors have given the Greek name
An@mia, meaning bloodlessness, to
a disease which is much more prevalent
among young women than is generally
believed. An unusual feeling Of fatigue
after slight exercise, brenthlessness and
pallor are the FIRST noticeable signs. The
disease literally causes the blood to turn
to water and, unless proper remedy il
used, is inevitably fatal.

And one there came with cusques OF gold
And gems from Ophir and before
Her feet outspread the precious store
With cunning coined words of praise.
With honey hearted metaphor.
And yet she looked upon him cold
And haughtily, nor smiled Ht all:
Fool. thus to think to win her grace
Who purity perennial
Wore ON the rondure OF her face!

And craVed that she would think upon

When with her scorn she smotc him

HAD LEARNED HIs LESSON.
Rustic Suitor Follows Suggestions In
Use of Objectionable Word.

Ralph Wilson, a farmers lad, was
paying attention to Miss Octavia Spen-
Ger, one of the city gals" Once upon
time Miss Spencer had cautioned
him about the use of the word tale"
sie mad told him that cultured people
usually employed the word "anecdote"
instead of the other offensive nomina-
tive. The country boy listened in
open-mouthed wonder and promised to
obey Miss Spencer's instructions.
One day it happened. when young
Wilson rode up on his mule, he saw
the richly caparisoned horse OF his
city rival hitched in front of Miss
Spencer's gate. 1t was the Fourth OF
July, and the city mans horse had
been decorated in keeping with the
sentiments of the day. among other
things sporting a great bow of red.
white and blue ribbon on his tail.
Ralph hitched his mule and started up
the path leading to the front portico,
which was reached by ascending a
flight of fifteen or twenty steps. When
he reached the top OF the steps he
looked back. Quickly he called out
in true farmer fashion:
Hello, in there! hello!"
Miss Spencer at once came to the
door, and lifted her hand as signal
for the country gent not to make so
much noise, saying to him in sub
dued tones:
Mr.. Wilson, you mustn't go on that
way. Can't / ever teach you any
thing? I've told you so many times
that it wasn't mark OF good breed
ing to be boisterous."
you better tell that city man." said
Ralph. ignoring Miss Spencer and
speaking more loudly than he had be

Moon Superstitions.

Most superstitious relating to the
moon have to do with the weather. Be-
sides there is the superstition that
sleeping in the moonlight, especially II
the moon be full, induces insanity. BY
the word "lunacy" this belief Is ex-
pressed. Farmers believe that the
moon exercises certain influence over
vegetation. and that beans should be
pla. ted when the moon Is light and
pota, es when 1t is dark. Many be-
lieve at a change in the weather Will
come about the time that there Is
change in the moon. Prof. Pickering
points out that since the moon changes
every seven and half days, every
change in the weather must come with
In four days Of a change In the moon.

The Champion.

Once upon time there was GER
tain grocery keeper who was very sue
cessful in accumulating money be-
cause he advertised to sell his wares
at less than they cost his competitors.
There was G great wonder at his
remarkable success and much specula-
tion on the secret that he kept SO well.
Finally his secret was discovered
when it was learned that all of the
scales on which he weighed his goods
were far out of balance, the ends on
which the merchandise was placed
being much heavier than the other
ends.

His Chance of Name.

At the Hotel Mems jubilee banquet
on Thursday night President II. II.
Vreeland of the Metropolitan Street
Railway company, told a new story
that raised great havoc among the
bonifaces.
In my town." he said. "a circus
went broke. The star of the show, to
whom the greatest amount or back
pay was due. was Xerxes, the human
catapult. He could put up a 500
pound dumbbell and put the eighty
pound shot.

pay off all claims in alphabetical or

haused before they reached M.
"A few days later the proprietor
called together his company for reor-
ganization on a new basis, full OF
alluring prospects. The strong man
was one of the first to volunteer.
