PLEASANT EVENT.

At Westville Congregational Church.
 The auditorium of the Westville Con- gregational church was tastefully orna- mented Thursday evening, the occasion being the dollar social under the aus- pice,s of the ladies missionary society. Autumnal foliage and bay trees form ed the decorations, the latter being kindly loaned by the Elm City Nursery company. The object of the social was to raise sufficient money for the redeco- rating and beautifying of the church interior by means of each member earning $1.
 Many told the story of how the dol lar was earned in rhymes which were read by George Smith, and furnished much amusement. Letters were also rad from various out of town members who had sent contributions.
 Last spring the ladies' aid society contributed $10O for repairing the roof, and last night the handsome sum of $290 was realized for the interior im- provements. At the close of the enter tainment, which consisted of musical selections by Miss Fruit and Master Gilbert of Trinity choir, the pastor, Rev. F. L. Davis and Mrs. Davis, held a reception in the church parlors which were also artistically decorated. Light refreshnentswere served and all agreed that not only was it an enjoyable gath ering but that very satisfactory finan- cial results had been attined.

",Tls the Tarnal Toll That Tells.o

More than once upon a time there was a farmer who, when he took his grist to mill, always begrudged the miller his customary assessment for the grinding of the grain. Everytime the miller substracted his, the close listed agriculturallst groaned, "'Tfs the
 tarnal toll that tells" and sighed at the taking of the miller's share. At the five-cent continuous performances aft ernoon and evening at the Nicolet, 791 Chapel street, there is no such feeling. The lady at the box office makes the parting with the nickle a pleasure, and the moving pictures and the Illustrated song add to the exciting electrical ec- stacy,

THE oMN1voRous RAT.

A West Riding doctor, writes York; shire naturalist Interviewed" a rat a few days ago under peculiar circum- stances While riding past a copptce he was amused by rat, high ID on a branch of a hazelnut tree, bus en- gagged nibbling off the fruit, and drop ping it to the ground, where it had accumulated nice little pile. Do rats cat nuts?" was his question; and my answer was that it was very difficult to know what rats would not eat-even their own kindred at a pinch.
 As for all kinds of nuts, they are particularly fond of them, and told him the story (from Scarron's ''Le Ro- man Comique'D of the avariciouH Spaniard who planned a "corner' in filberts, and was baffled-by rats. He bought up all the growing nuts he could get and when ripe, had them harvested and stored in a great barn. For months he visited the barn and gloated over his stock, which actually increased in bulk.
 At last, when there was great de- mand for filberts and prices ruled high the speculator resolved to put his stock on the market. On removing it he dis covered that great percentage of the nuts had been gnawed by rats and the kernels scooped out and the huslSs scattered about.-From the Pal Mall Gazette.

Whittier, Longfellow, Holmes and Bur roughs, not to speak of Anonymous" whom a patriot might add to the list.
 William Dedorgan, the author of Joseph Vance," one of the best novels of the season, has made a few state ments regarding his "1ll-Written Auto biography" which are quoted in the current Bookman. "Mr. Vance says he wrote the first chapter to try if he could write fiction, and having decided that he could not, put 1t away in a drawer for a year. His wife found it and made him go abed with an attack of influenza, and when he got to Los sic got interested. He says: I write all the rest because l was interested with a nascent sense of publication In regard to its length he tells how his English publisher said, Don't spoil the book by cutting it on any account, but do what you can I did what I could, writes MT. DeMorgan, cancelled as many pages as I could wrench out, and sent the rest back again-not the six hundred!' Apparently Mir. Peter Gum, the sweep who wanted to 'crock" the bug found in the senior Vances pot of ale, and, therefore, started all the trouble, is the only real person in the book. Mr DeMorgan says there is not trace of his own life in the story, and adds; T wish I could convince my lady friends that they are not Janey and Lossie" The Bookman supplies the following bio graphical information:
 Mr. DeMorgan is over seventy years of age. He is a man of high education, being closely related to DsMorgan, the great mathematician. He himself was identified with the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, and is an artist or taste and merit Among other things, he ex- perimented in 8 certain glass for tiles which obtained a great success among architects and decorators. He designed the tiles himself, and they are all very beautiful in design, and the glass he invented has a lustre which no one else ever approached, DeMorgan tiles are a household word among architects and decorators, and as he has now far some years given up, this branch of his Work, and as apparently no one else knows the secret, they fetch rather high prices.
