Newspaper Man has Fortune Told.

A good story is being told on
one of our brother newspaper
men, married man at that, who
was supposed to have his fortune
told. He crossed the lady fortune
teller's palm with a dollar, where
upon she pulled his ears, calling
upon bad luck to leave him, etc.,
and then she wanted to leave, tel
ling him she did not want his dol
lar. that she would make no
charge for the work. She was
supposed to have placed the dol
lar in a handkerchief on the table,
but it was not there. whereupon
the victim called on her for his
money. She refunded the amount
and then called bad luck down on
him. Since then he has been
buying ice cream and other
delicacies, for the employees to
keep still. but the story was too
good to keep.

 oua.aA af Meeffun

Church and state Questions to Re Dis
 cussed at Meeting.
 Paris Aug. 16.--Most of the Cabinet ministers have returned to Paris in preparation for the Cabinet Council which has been arranged for tomorrow at Rambouillet when, 1t Is expected, the church and state question will be discussed and the Government attitude clearly defined.
 Minister of Public Instruction and Worship Briand today conferred at length with Premier Sarriep.
 A number of deputies have announced their intention of interpellating the sub ject on the subject of the church and state situation as soon as Parliament meets.
 The Temps points out that in conse- quence of the refusal of the clericals to form lay associations to conduct the affairs of the church, they will not have after December ii any claim to the church edifices, which will be dis possible for the benefit of the com munes and charitable organizations. The article continues:
 'The edifices will be seqeustrated on that date by prefectoral decrees and remain under seal of another full year awaiting the possibility of the forma- ton of lay associations.
 The Temps says the right to carry on free worship in other buildings will not be restricted so long as they are privately sanducted.
 Relative to the pensions allowed the clergy under the law, the article in The Temps says:
 These are still receivable as granted for services before the separation oi church, and state."
 Statistics show that 1s,7se clergymen are entitled to fife pensions and 21,27s
 
 to eight years, the total amounting only to $5,S00,O 900.
