REV. Dr. Paget, the Bishop oi Oxford, has just made sensation in England by his stinging rebuke Of the habit Of drinking toasts at banquets with wine. and calls upon the clergy and laity to cure the bad habit He suggests that toasts of church and king, of bishop and clergy. of theological school or missionary college or any such institution, jar on him when used in connection with drinking at all. The bishops views ana fearless ex- pression of them have pleased the temperance people of Great Britain very much, and should receive the en- dorsement Of the good people of every land and cline The bishop Is right h -iiis belief that water is a good e. nough el.rent with which to drink a toast to any man CT cause.

were spoken and she had poured the contents of her little purse upon the milliners table Mme Lear listened, at first uncomprehending; then, as the truth dawned upon her, astonish- ed; at last, with sort of dimness softening the the sharpness of her eyes.
 T compliment you on your hon. esty," she said, at length, slowly. Somehow the words, well meant though they were, stung Louise My father would hardly call that com pliment," she said; there, are some i things one prefers to take for grant ed"
 Please wait" begged Mime. Lear. as the girl arose to go.
 q think there was mistake, too, | on my side l was over-hasty in as- suming that you wished the hat to be sent to you. I have something to propose The lady who came in yee- | terday, as you were leaving, wanted. also, a hat of that particular shade of brown. She is going to New York l tonight on visit, and would like the | hat immediatetly. As she is one of my best customers, l should be par 1 ticular,y glad to oblige her. If you would like to pay for the frame of | the hat and for the work, I should be glad to strike from the bill the cost 1 of the velvet and the feather It would be-" she added up the items
 "Oh, would it be fair-are you sure l it would be all right?" stammered Louise. What did it matter if her own little projected "extravagances' would be swept away! She could still get the gloves for her father, the pie ture for her mother
 Quite right" returned Mime. Lear smiling My dear" she vert on, l gravely, in a little burst of appar. ently irrepressible feeling, T have a young daughter of about your age who is just entering college. It is the firpt time she has ever been away from me. If the need should come to her as it has come to you, of an older and more experienced friend, would pray that. she might find one who would say to her, as I now say to you: We never know, not the best or strongest, in what moment ol weakness, or of special stress, the temptation that is our temptation may come to us.' Only in one way lies safety To watch and pray with out ceasing, lest in the single un guarded moment, temptation enter in"
 As Louise went down the steps, . young man, passing on the sidewalk smilingly raised his hat.
 We are going the same wayT said Mir. Richard Blake.

Lcuise's Temptation.
lconcluded from last week.

of inc final act-that she neither neaFd nor saw that some one had fumbled his way in through the darkness ana sat down by her side
 The lights were turned on. There was sigh and rustic of reliei throughout the hall. Louise was s'al- ing in mortified dumbfoundedness at her unexpected neighbor-a fat man of a stolid composure.
 Incapable of speech, she could oniy gaze at him with tear-filled eyes. Her neichbor. however, displayed no con cern for her agitation, nor any ap- parent intention of moving, but con tinued mopping, his eyes, winding up with a dolorous blast on his nose.
 Please. please said Louise, faint ly. eff you don't mind, you're sitting on my hat"
 Slowly the fat man arose. There was the brown hat, crushed to the thinness of a sheet of paper, the feath- CT fiat as though passed through the mangle.
 Dear me, who would have thought that it would have squashed so cas- ily!" puffed the fat man, embarrassed at the situation.
 On arriving at Mrs. Randolph's that night, Louise went directly to her own room, where she put the un- fortunate hat into her deepest bureau drawer--alas, it would have gone with out difficulty into the shallowest-and went to bed as speedily as possible, intending to lie awake all night, cry ing.
 The next thing she knew 1t was morning, and her eyes felt stiff and queer and there was an inexplicable weight of woe upon her heart. With the next wave of returning conscious ness came a sudden unexpected light ening of the burden. She had the money to pay for the ruined hat! She would go to Mime. Lear and tell her the whole story. To the uncompromising eyes of IT, no other course seemed possible.
 Mr:. Randolph did not appear below stairs thot morning, her headache hav- ing lingerae overnight. Immediately after breakfast Louise set out on her errand Arriving at Mime. Lears, she held herself rigidly to her task, not sparing herself, till the last words

 cannot say anything to MT. Vine yard in regard to his peas, force pump or hay fork, but can say that our firm does not do business the way he is trying to prove this one did with him. It would not seem to any fair minded reader that any reputable business con- cern could thrive by any such meth eds.
 Mir. Vineyard goes On to state the catalogue houses are accused of hand ling bogus goods, etc. and for those 'wtlo Flo don handle any of that class of goods to put the government officers on to them and put them out of busi- ness1
 Probably he doesn't know that Sears-Roebuck & Co.,, one of the largest mail order houses il the country. had to close out their grocery business the first ot this year, when the Pure Food law went into effect. Perhaps he doesn't know also, that a great many of the manufacturers of standard articles, have declared al- ready that they will not sell catalogue houses, and are finding out every year, the only way to get their goods on the market to the best advantage, is through the j"bber. to the retailer ana thence to the consumer.
 While l could say more, will not this time. have endeayored to put our side Of the question, 50 that Mr Vineyard or any other fair minded man can think about it and see if i isn't to their advantage in the lions run to spend their money al home for as Governor Eek. of Missouri ha. said: Surely f town is gocc enough for me 10 make my money fv f is good enough to spend it in."

 Article.

After reading MT. Vineyards ar ticle, in your recent edition, on mail order business, feel that 1t is up to" some merchants of OUT town to speak word for themselves.

 shall endeay0r to show why it is better 10 trace with the home mer- chant than to send off after yonr goods
 First, if you buy goods from cata- logue houses, yettit yyett pay pay iF4 advance.
 2nd. You buy goods without sec ing them.
 3rd. Your money is sent far away.
 4th. You haul the goods from the depot.
 5th. You find that redress is not practicable for unsatisfactory goods.
 9th. You pay freight or express charges extra.
 Eth, You pay price that is only apparently low
 There are other reasons why. could name several. few of which are: Your home merchant is your neighbor, your bfother. he helps pay the taxes that keep up the civil i'm provcments. he is the one you come to for aid when you are hard prsssec for money and want little credit you don't dare ask any of the cata- logue houses for anything until the first of the month or as soon as :" get'hold Of q little money The home merchants help 10 pay the school tax by which Mir. Vineyarc makes his living If you buy of you local dealer you may receive credit
 You make actual comparisons an( select from variety of styles ans sizes.
 Your money helps 10 build up you own community.
 You can have the goods deliyerec to your home. provided you live in tht corporate limits of cur town.
 The articles are easily exchange if not satisfactory.
 You will receive them in god con dition.
 You have no freight or expres charges to pay. You get quality goods at righ prices.
