COULDN'T REFUSE TO DRINK.
Preachers Predicament Of Nearly a
Century Ago.

In speaking of the evil Of intemper-
ance DR.. Wayland Hoyt has related
the following:
I'm the autobiography Of DR.. Good
ell, prefxed to his life, he tells us
that 70 or 80 years ago a very godly
minister used TO pass his fathers door
and often stepped In to see the family.
Once the minister CHANGED to meet
there the family physician, and he
asked his advice. He said: 1 am
about visiting the sick and the af-
fiicted and the inquiring, and every
where am asked to take something
to drink. cannot decline without
giving mortal offense, but after awhile
find myself growing dizzy, and am
afraid that ! shall say or do some
thing to disgrace myself. Now, what
do you advise me to do about this?"
After great elaboration the physi-
clan advised him to, as soon as he
felt himself growing Dizzy, go home to
his study while he was able to walk
There he was to sit until the dizziness
had passed off, when he could resume
his visiting.
That was nearly century ago,
and 1t never occurred to either of
them to cut it out" Fancy a
preacher of to-day pursuing such
leisurely methods!

The hammer, besides being a tool
OF universal use, is probably the old

a stone fastened to a handle with

weapon as tool.

dainty instruments used by the jewel

There was never a time when Mr..
Eben jenkins was not perfectly will

without waiting for any response he
swung himself up beside Mr.. Jenkins,
who looked at him sharply, but made
no demur.

turns, but although the young man
kept up an incessant stream of CONVEX

A milliner with turn for philosophy
declares that a woman's character is

that reveal the wearer as cautious
and secretive. AS a rule, woman Of
strong personality may be trusted to
choose hat to suit her She is strong
enough to withstand the temptation
to wear something merely fashionable.
