There is a most humorous story con

chase. The debtor turned and ran like
a hare sanctuaryward. He tripped and
fell at the Abbey strand, but with his
head within the protected area. All the
same, he was arrested by the minion OF
the law and immured In the debtors
quarters in Carlton Jail
He sued the sherlff's officer for Illegal
arrest, and the court Of sessions judge
who tried the case gave a decision In
his favor. HIS lordship held that the
head, the intelligent part Of the mans

was within the sanctuary and thus Sc

He had declined several invitations
to join merry party and see the old
year out. A bachelor of thirty five. he
bad been well brought up by good

behaved girls of the olden type He
had long been a clubman and mem
Der Of the smart set His companions
spent n great deal Of money, living a
fast life, the men not pretending to
have any purity in them, the women
following the latter day custom of
drinking cocktails. At the Country
club, OF which he was a member there
was separate cafe where the ladies
were served with beverages without 1t
being known how much they drank.
He knew that any Of the parties to
which he had been invited would be
drinking bouts. The influences under
which he had been brought up had as
serted themselves, and a sudden dis
taste for the company Of his set had
kept him in his rooms when others
were rolstering,
He was surrounded by luxuries, and
a cheerful wood fire bazed on the
hearth, but there was one comfort
lacking There was no friend to bear
him company. He thought Of a chum
who was far away and wished that he
might suddenly be dropped down be-
side him. Then he fell to thinking how
nice would be a woman's companion.

the women who were his usual associ-

them to live as ladies and gentlemen.
The Brinsley girls were all very pretty

times invited him TO simple dinners,

che First Quarrel.

The wedding had been the
greatest event of the season.
Everybody lucky enough to be
present, at least said SO. Such
flowers and decorations from
BLOSSOM and Company;" souve-
Mrs of handsome jewelry from
the leading firm in town, and a
splendid dinner served as only
"Cherry" can serve it. And then
the magnificent wedding march
from Lohengrin.
But that was a month ago.
Now, Mr.. and Mrs. Chester have
returned from their honeymoon
and as they were dining together
one evening, the young husband
noticed shadow of disappoint-
ment upon the beautiful features
of his wife's usually happy coun-
tenance. Finally the dearest
creature in all creation asked if
every bill of their wedding had
been settled. She had found the
receipt Of "Blossom's'' and had
paid the jeweler herself. There
was no doubt about the
"Cherry' account. Turning to
her beloved lord and master she
innoceutly asked: "Charley, are
you sure all the liabilities are
settled?" He said they we're.
Wondering how anything could
have been forgotten, he was
amazed, when she asked him what
had happened to the bill from
"Lohengrin." AS he couldn't re-
member any such name, she burst
into tears and stammered: ooh
Charley, how can you be so cruel;
how can you deceive me so, and
you promised me to have the
wedding march from Lohengrin!'

Gbautauqua meeting.

The regular session of the
Chautauqua Circle was held in the
chapel hall last Sunday after
noon, one member being absent.
A few minutes were devoted to
the transaction of business, after
which program that ranks we'll
with subsequent ones, was rem
dered.

was the first number, wherein the
author depicted him, Of "Frenzied
Finance" as anything but envi-
able, but the discussion which fol-
lowed showed the contributor to
be either sadly misinformed or
prejudiced.
One of the lately acquired mem-
bers had for his subject: "The
Tobacco Habit" and tho his views
were quite at variance with the
generally admitted evils resulting
from the use of the weed, it was a
good paper in that it brought on
discussion among the members.
There is no danger. however, that
there will be any voluntary sur
render of tobacco tickets.
A special report entitled: "Uni-
versal Peace Analysed" was next
on the program and was by far
the best paper that has been read
before the circle for some time.
Not only was his use of lam
guage excellent, but the manner
in which the gentleman handled
his subject indicated clearly that
he was we'll informed and fully
capable of doing justice to the
much debated issue.
Concluding the program was a
substitute paper having for it's
theme "The Power of Money in An
cient Times" The principal con-
tention of this paper was, tho in
other words, that money is the root
of all evil" It was we'll constructed
and, as the critic remarked, was
great improvement over other pa

City Marshal George Donnelly
is New York law officer who rec
ognizes something higher than
law, without manifesting any dis
respect for the statute. He was
sent to dispossess family in the
Borough of the Bronx. Finding
that the nonpayment Of the rent
was due to the illness of the fam
ily's head, who was in bed, while
his wife and seven children we're
doing their best to keep from
starving, the marshal decided not
to serve the writ.
The landlord must be satisfied,
however, so Mr.. Donnelly organ
lied himself into a philanthropic
commission, started a subscrip-
ton, and collected sufficient funds
to pay the rent for two or three
months. His good example ami
mated the neighbors, and Christ
mas cheer was assured the
unfortunate household.-Ex.
