Sunshine Shopping.

A clever housekeeper says it is her
Jaw never to shop except on sunny
May. She never, she insists, makes a
mistake on a sunny day. She declares
there is nothing one can buy safely
but stamps when the sun is absent.
There is good deal in her theory.
Shopping on gloomy day is good
deal like writing letter when in a
fit of the blues. The sun comes out,
one regrets what one has said and
what one has Bought.
In spite of this, as every one can
see, it just takes a rain to bring wom-

worst then the fair ones HE them

pression that all the others will stay
at home, and she will have the whole
shop to herself.

things have to be taken back"

DoWIE'S DOWNFALL

carded by His Followers.
Among modern prophets John
Alexander Dowie has the distinction
of being the only one who has been
discarded by the sect which he
founded. After building his zion up
to astonishing proportions, he finds
himself denounced as a hypocrite and
charged with many serious offenses,
and, worst of all, his wife and son
are against him. The accusations
are damaging enough to an ordinary
man. and SO much the worse for one
claiming to be a reincarnated prop
het but they come from his follow
ers who ought to know what they are
talking about.
The infidels as touching Dowieism
have not said anything worse, if
quite so bad, about him. The wond-
er is that his own flock has been so
slow to find him out or to frankly
say what they must have known for
sometime.
