LULU MIcKExs 1OTE.

Lulu Mickens' husband wants a di- vorce. and among the reasons back of the want are these: A-Locked him out of the house; B-Threatened to kill him; 1, by poison; 2, by hot lead in his ears while he slept; 8, with a carving knife. C-Bound and gagged him; 1, threw buckets of water on him; 2, stripped house of furniture and cash; 3, left him.
 There may be strict constructionists who will think MT. Mickens hasty, but the looser constructionists will think he has stood enough and wish him com plete release. from his womanly woes, He has been a patient man, but he is entitled to life and liberty let alone the pursuit of. happiness. Very likely Lulu would declare that happiness has been pursuing him in her proper and beauti- ful person, and that he never knew enough, and never will know enough, to know it, Perhaps when he gets the divorce which a sympathetic judge seems likely to give him she will pur- sue him no more and resignedly leave him to the fate he has invited.

IITELY TN DENTER. roo.

Pretty lively times at Hartford, but we don't have such things there as they have in Denver, Governor Buchtel of Colorado, who is a clergyman, ended his inaugural address with a prayer as follows: Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we come to Thee in prayer for Thy blessing. We thank Thee for our opportunities to serve thee in serving the people of this great commonwealth We pray for grace to enable us to work together in mutual respect, Help us to do all our work with a sincere desire to promote the welfare of all our peo- pie"
 The Governor is said to have been urging local option bill, and the chap lain of the Senate does not approve of local option, He is said to have had the Governor in mind in political prayer he made the other day: "We re- gret deeply the fact that some men have permitted sinful acts to mar Thy likeness, and that they have fallen so far from their starting place as to dis regard their words and promises, using the platform of their Church or their party as means to secure certain ends and offices, and forgetting their pledges when they have attained their desires.'
 Prayer isn't often used like that now adays, and of course it never should be. It would be well enough for the chap lain to privately or publicly tell Cover nor Buchtel what he thinks of him, but it was hardly proper for him to tell the Lord in that way.

Poor mother wears a worried look, And sister wears frowni And if 1 venture up the stairs They send me straightway down. I'm going to the drug store now, Upon a hurried trip, To get some other kind of dope, For father has the grip. I heard him grooming in the night, He said his head would split; And then he thought his back woult
 break
 In just 8 little bit He told us that his legs were sore, And soon it was his hip It seems that everything is sick When father has the grip. The doctor came to-day and left Some capsules, and he said To take one each three hours until The pain has really fled. Says pa, That means twelve hours be
 fore
 I give this pain the slip; I'll bet he'd find faster dope If he had got the grip" And then he told ma that he thought That he was going to die; An ma says no, that isn't so, An gave the reason why. Then pa got mad and told her that He didn't want her lip; Oh! there's no comfort in our fiat When father has the grip.

SOME SOLEMN TALK.

One of the big men of England has tried to hit this country solid and a solemn wipe The War Office is talk ing steps to ascertain the possibility of obtaining for the British army larger supplies of canned meats from Aus tralia and New Zealand, so that the contract with the American packers may be reduced in the near future When questioned in the House of Com mons as to whether the colonies could not be given the first chance to obtain the new contracts. Mir. Buchanan, financial secretary of the War Office, in behalf of that department of the gov ernment, said: "In anticipation of an increased demand and in view of the revelations regarding American canned meat last summer, as we'll as the gov- ernment's desire for a wider area of supply, a special officer has been been dispatched to Australia and New Zea- land to report on the methods of the packing houses and the capacity of those colonies to furnish increased quantities of canned meat"
 Tn view of the revelations last sum- mer" is a very late remark. In view of the revelations last summer Ameri- can canned meat is better than it ever was, and if the English War Office doesn't know that fact 1t ought to. It can easily discover it and find profit in discovering it.

 Thanks to the new Pure Food law, candy manufacturers, or at least those who make the cheaper grades of candy will need to learn their trade over again. A man in the business says they will hardly know how to get along without the tabooed ingredients, and they have equally hard work to keep up with the decisions which are being made from day to day.
 Glucose must be made in different manner; mineral colors must go if one persons ideas prevail; parafflne is on trial, and the poor candy manufac- turer-detine this term as you please is reported by men in the trade as well night in despair.

Japanese immigrants may not be well come on the Pacific coast of the United States, but in Chili they are not only desired but are induced to settle there. The Chilian government offers consld- erable inducements to agricultural and fishing immigrants. Forty acres of rich land are given outright to each settler; twenty more to each son eighteen years old or more. a yoke of oxen, a set of farm implements and $15 a month in cash for the first year This is regard ed as an excellent inducement to the Japanese farmer to leave his little farm of something less than an acre and go to Chili. Moreover, a practical monop- oly of the entire fishing industry of a country having 5000 miles of coast abounding in splendid fish, but practic- ally without a fishing class, holds out an additional bait to people versed in sea fishing.

4 BIG AND GOOD CHURCH PLAN

4 BIG AND GOOD CHURCH PLAN
 Perhaps there are some things in mod ern business that the churches cannot approve, but they can learn something from business in the way of planning and execution. Churches in New York have come together in plan which is both big and well directed. It has for its field the first six wards of Brooklyn with the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth added. That territory has a population of over 29O,OOO, and includes an area nearly double the section south of Fourteenth street and east of Broad way in Manhattan. the region most people refer to when they speak of the East Side"
 This territory has been divided into sixty-three cooperative parishes. Each parish is in charge of one of the Protestant churches in the region. Each church makes itself responsible for its parish. It will visit all the families, will compile the census which makes this work effective, will place the fam flies it finds having denominational preferences in communication with the churches of their choice and will min ] ister itself to those families which have no church background. The work to be done includes not merely looking after the spiritual welfare of the peo- pie in each parish but their temporal welfare as well. Settlement work is a part of the plan, and also the churches

Another of those decisions. The peo- pie of Philadelphia parish imported a marble monument to be placed on the grave of beloved pastor. They were advised that it was entitled to admis- sion free of duty as work of art for a religious society. The collector of customs said it must pay a duty of 50 per cent. ad valorem as a manufacture of marble, and the board of general ap- praisers sustains him. "The only free sculpture on the monument" says Ap- praiser Waite, lis the cornice, relief bust and garland of flowers, which cover a very slight area of the whole marble surface. It is not proposed to find that the article in question is bot skillfully carved or is devoid of a sym metry that makes 1t attractive to the eye. But in the boards judgment it cannot be admitted under paragraph 703 unless every symmetrical object of carved marble is work of art within the meaning of the law; and that breadth of construction is not warrant ed by any authority known to the board"
