His First and Only Choice.

When the Rev. Edwin H. Chaplin,
some time in the '40s was pastor of
the First Universalist church in
Charlestown, Mass, he was visited
one day by a delegation of ladies of
that society. Doctor, or plain Mister
Chaplin, as he was then called, was
averse to the wearing of ministerial
robes, and the ladies come hoping to
conquer this dislike and to get him
to adopt the use or surplice.
Many preachers of less note in and
around Boston never appeared in
their pulpits except when thus array
ed, and as DR.. Chapin's fame was fast
becoming national, the ladies deemed
their request an especially appropri-
ate one. To the procuring Of the sur
plice the doctor need give no thought:
1--WE shall be pleased to present
you with one If you will wear it." said
they.
"But about the material? OF what
do you propose to make the rbbe?"
he asked.
Thinking that an easy conquest had
been made, there came the prompt re-
ply: 90 just name your preference
in the matter and we will abide by it. -
"Well, ladies'" said DR.. Chaplin. III
I am to wear surplice at all, my
first, last and only choice is that it
be made of green baize."
The ladies saw the point and, al.
though crestfallen, Withdrew smiling.
ly.
DR.. Chaplin continued to preach in
his customary suit of broadcloth, and
never again while in Charlestown was
he interviewed regarding pulpit ap'

WANTS THE cAMTEEN BACK.
Old Washington Lady Has Formet
Lobby Of One.

One Of the most active woman
workers for the restoration Of the
army canteen is said to be a little
lady who lives in South Washington,
and whose only son was killed in q
drunken brawl in one Of the low dives
that infest the vicinity of army posts.
She pays frequent visits to the halls
OF congress, and never fails, when she
meets member Of either house. to
urge him to vote for the repeal Of the
anti-canteen law. Her son was q pri.
vate soldier and had BEEN in the
army several years before the canteen
was abolished. Up to that time, she
explains, he was comparatively
sober lad" But after the post ex.
changes were done away with her son
sought the low places about the NIL.

1.-The mushrooms, and became addicted
to the use of the poisonous compounds
that were dealt out under the name Of
whisky" These, she added, converted
him into maniac for the time, and
one day, while on pass and wild from
the effects of the stuff, he engaged in
row and was killed. The burden Of

the canteen had been left undisturbed
the hoy would now be alive. She asks
them to restore it for the sake Of
"some other mothers son who may be
led into the practices Of the low re-
sorts and become a confirmed drunk
ard and gambler, and perhaps meet
the fate of my boy"
She visited the capitol short time
ago and called the attention Of the
legislators to the fatal shooting in a
bar room near Fort Washington, down
the Potomac, as another tragic result
of the abolition of the army canteen.

There is a wide field of work in
Russia covered by an inexhaustible
number Of charitable organizations
and private effort. Numbers of rich
women devote much of their energy
and time to facilitate the education
of the peasants in the villages which
once belonged to their estates. In
fact, there is hardly an estate owner
in Russia who does not materially
benefit the peasants by the aid of
private free schools, or helpful insti-
tuticns Of some kind.
