QUEER DoINGs OF MEN

A man will always stir his coffee h fore drinking It. This is very foolish he should taste it first to see if ii psss, stirring.
 A man subjects the point of his ns, to careful scrutiny before eommepcD, to write letter. A woman starts rgbt oh-jabs her pen in the inkpot ni straightway begins to scribble as a| her life depended on 1t.
 Few men open their personal cort spondenee without looking at the pos. marks to see the time of postID, Women on the other hand, tear ow the envelope at once-they are in to much of a hurry to waste any time
 It is the man who lets cut secrets not by telling them, but by ill-tina silences. He does worse-by reflsiv to gratify the curiosity of his Qus tioners he invariably causes then q jump to conclusions much more dal. aging than the truth of the matter
 It is the man who reads with ls back to the light. holding his book ! one hand. Herein lies wisdom. ] woman rests her book on the taA and leans both elbows thereon. BE the foolishness of the mans act lies l the fact that he is seeking comfort sa seldom takes this position becaass Is the most scientific one. Of couix he finds it isn't comfortable-his an aches after the first ten miluiz whereupon he puts his book down aa remarks he is going out.

Washington's Sad
 Fourth of July
Day Witnessed His Surrender of Fort Necessity to the French.

It was the 4th day of July, 1754, 22 years before the Declara ton of In dependence made the day ever fa- nous.
 The light of early morning shone upon strange scene in the wilderness of western Pennsylvania.
 A force of 600 Frenchmen and 100 Indians was eamped around a rude stockade a little to the southeast and not far from the present city of Pitts burg. They were commanded by Coulon de Villiers, a young French man, the commandant of Fort Du- quesne, who had sworn vengeance against the English for the death of his brother, Jumonville, who had fall- en in skirmish few days before Besides, he was pledged to make good should wave west of the Alleghenies
 In the fort a little force numbering less than half the number of the French and Indians had held out for one long day and six hours of the night against the attack of their Vengeful and overpowering foe
 Before we relate the story of Fort Necessity, however, it will be well to refer to the causes which led to this Fourth of July episode
 At the commencement of the French and Indian war it was determined by the English, for the better protection of their interests, to build a fort at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, on the present site of Pittsburg. A body of troops was accordingly dispatched by Gov. Dinwiddie of Virginia to accomplish this object.
 The death of their colonel on the march threw the command into the hands of the second officer, tall Vir- ginian of 22, with brown hair and gray eyes, whose gravity of manner and careworn appearance bespoke even then the greatness he was to win. This Virginian youth was George Washington.
 Before he reached the goal of his journey, Washington learned from his scouts the futility of his errand. h. stead of driving out the French. he and his command stood in a fair way of being themselves driven out if not altogether annihilated.
 The French had been improving the summer weather They had captilred the few English and built and manned strong fortress at the very place where the English expected to build one, and French and Indian force of more than 1000 men was thronging the adjacent forest.
 When within a day march of the new fort which the French had named Duquesne, after the governor of Can ada, Washington halted at a place called the Great Meadows and con structed fertilization of logs and earth.
 To this rude stockade he gave the name of Fort Necessity. In it were placed the cannons which he had dragged with so great toll through the forest paths from Virginia.
 After a few days rest, Washington went forward with a portion of his force to meet the Shawnee chief, Half King A council was held and it was determined to make a night attack upon the French.
 The scouts of the faithful Shawnee chief found the ennmy's trail. and in the darkness of rainy night the English made a successful raid. Ju- monville. the French leader, was killed, and several of his men fell prisoners into Washington's hands.

the parish he had in charge, at the
same time he has been active in gem
eral evangelistic work, home and for
eign missions, and educational work. It
is the fact that his work has been of
such breadth that makes him a leading
candidate. &
In addition, there is a general desire
that this year the moderator be select
ed from among the active pastors. For
se1eral sessions heretofore, the moder-
ator has not been pastor, but some
one prominent in university work or en-
gagged in other general lines outside of
pastorate> duties. Another thing in DIR.
Marshall s, favor, is the fact that for
ten years he was the successful pastor
Of Central Presbyterian church at Des
Moines, in which the general assembly
will hold it's sessions.
The northwest has never been hon,
ored with the moderatorship. Now that
the assembly is to meet in the north
west, it seems timely that this section
of the country should be honored with
the presiding office.
The general assembly will be made
up of some 600 commissioners, layme1
and clergy. It has come to be custom
tho it is not rule, that the moderator
shall act as representative of the whole
Presbyterian church of the country dur
! ing the interval between the assembly

one. Thus if DR.. Marshall is elected
the year following he will probably b.
called to make number of trips thru

A. B. Marshall, pastor Of the First

their number.
Since the launching of DR.. Marshall s
candidacy, hundreds Of letters have
been received in Minneapolis by Pres

the position. DR.. Marshall's wide ac-
quaintance in the northwest, resulting
from pastorates in Ohio and Iowa as

vantage. Another fact which is telling
