BOY EVANGELIST ONLY
SEVEN YEARS OLD.
Delivers a Notable Sermon, Although He
Is Entirely Illiterate-His Genius
for Religious Speaking.

LEWISTOWN. Pa, Aug. 13.-Charles
Wesley Shingler, 7 years old, known as
the boy evangelist, delivered a remark
able sermon on THE Crucifixion of Christi
to a large audience in a large brick school
building adjacent to the city line Sunday
night.
Young Shingler wns born at Jacks Creek
seven years ago of poor parents; vas
never inside a school room, does not know
"A" from ~" and cannot even spell his
own name. except to repeat it after an
other. 1t was noticed by his parents that
ever as a babe he took a deep interest
in the home Scriptural readings, and three
years ago began to ask questions as to the
Interpretation of different passages that
had been read weeks previous. Later he
was frequently heard quoting passages of
Scripture that even his parents were not
familiar with.
\ His first appearance before the public
was an ~unlooked-for one. He was at the
Pennsylvania Railroad Depot at Lewis
town Junction waiting for a train, in
company with his grandfather. a typical
farmer of the old school. when a number
of travelling men, held there by a belated
train, began to make remarks about the
aged mans appearance. The grandson i'm
mediately became indignant, and, after
giving the audience a lesson relative to
the respect due the aged, he mounted a
bench in the w~aiting-room and delivered
his first sermon.

SHE TIES BURGLAR
WOMAN USES HIS SHIRT TO
SECURE HIM.
Finds Him Ransacking Room and Tackles
Him-Sits on Him Until
Police Arrive.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Not content
with catching George Marthesi, 18
years old, of 459 East 10th street, who
broke into her home at First street and
Havemeyer avenue, Westchester, early
yesterday, Mrs. Margaret BOSNIAN tore
his shirt into strips, made a rope of
them and tied him securely. When the
police arrived some time later they
found Marthesi done up in a neat pack
age, all ready for delivery.
Mrs. BOSNIAN thought h heard a
noise in one of the rooms shortly before
daylight. She listened and when she
made sure she started for the room,
only to be confronted by Marthesi, who
is stockily built. Although an elderly
woman, her courage did not desert her.
Without an instant's hesitation she
grabbed the intruder and started pum-
melting him.
He fought back, blackening n of
her eyes, but she hung on like grim
death. Finally she bore him to the
floor with an avalanche of swings inc
scratches. When she got him down
Mrs. BOSNIAN called for her daughter
Ida and the nv women tore the bur-
glars shirt off his back and bound his
wrists and ankles. He pleaded hard
for his liberty, but Mrs. BOSNIAN re-
fused to listen.
While Ida went to the Westchester
police station the brave woman sat on
Marthesi until Detective Dwyer and
several policemen came and took him
away. ~
In Morrisania Court Marthesi admit
ted his guilt and he was held for trial

SUMMER REFRESHMENTS.

1t must be a dainty morsel to tempt us
in the hot summer afternoons and even
ings, and yet an appropriate little spread
is just the thing to refresh one on an
oppressive day.
1t is impossible to buy fresh biscuit or
waters In bulk. To be good they must be
newly baked and perfectly protected.
The National Biscuit Company comes to
the rescue with biscuit and waters Of all
kinds in moisture and dust-proof packages
that so preserve their oven freshness that
their real age dates only from the time
the package is opened.
Perhaps the most popular for the sum-
mer season are social tea biscuit. For
porch or lawn, picnic or party, luncheon,
supper, tea or dessert, they are equally
good and always appropriate.
Social tea biscuit should be served from
the original package If you wish to en-
JOY them to the fullest extent, because
when the box is opened and crisp little
biscuit eaten at once, it is just like TAX
Ing them from the oven. All their good
ness and flavor is there for you to en-
JOY. The package itself is so artistically
designed that Its attractive appearance
alone would prompt you to serve social
tea biscuit in this way. The first trial
will suggest to you at once the various
uses and occasions for which they would
be Just the thing.

FOR THE FALL BRIDE.

No bride considers her napery outfit
complete nowadays unless she possesses
at least one luncheon set, comprising two
sizes of doilies and a large centrepiece
to match. This set may be of lace drawn
work or embroidery. and she very often
makes 1t herself. The centrepiece may
be round or square, and Is almost large
enough to be called a tablecloth, since it
is used On the bare table. The present
fashion demands hat this c~entrepieee. If
embroidered. be worked in white thread.
Mexican drawn work sets are particu-
larly pretty. since the dark wood of the
table underneath displays the fine work

For ordinary occasions a plain hem
stitched set. with quare pieces, each with
a large initial or embroidered
on 1t. is very pretty.
The correct method of embroidering the
monogram or initial on a tablecloth is to
place 1t at one end. at a point twenty
seven inches from the end and right hand
side Of the cloth. This places the initial
so hat 1t shows on top when the cloth is
laid on the table. The lettering should be
large and gracefully embroidered.

TO KEEP LINEN.

A great mistake is made If linen pieces
are starched, for the heavy material soon
breaks where there are ironed creases. NC
linen tablecloth should ever be starched
until 1t is hopelessly old, in which case a
little starch does renew Its appearance,
though by no means saves the article.
Linen has enough body in the weave to
be beautifully ironed without starch, and
linen looks best when made very damp
and ironed until 1t is glossy on the right
side. If pieces are to be laid aside, they
should be washed, rinsed in strong blue
water, dried and put away without IRON
ing. In this manner the pieces will look
as good as new when taken out later, even
though that may be years Afterwards. The
and napkins is to always iron the pieces
perfectly dry.

EMERGENCY COOLING.

1t sometimes happens on warm after
Moons that the supply of ice fails and the
butter %softens. Try this method Of keep
ing it hard: Place a large earthenware
bow on the kitchen table, mt in it place
a small bow upside down. On this In
verified BOWL put the butter dish containing
sufficient butter for the next meal,
wrapped In oiled paper. Over this spread
a clean napkin, covering the small bowl
and the edges resting on the bottom of
the large bowl. Then fill the large bowl
with fresh cold water up to the level of
the butter plate. Put a heavy towel over
the large bowl, with the ends wrapped
around it. Two hours later you may re-
move the towel and the napkin (the latter
now completely saturated with water), and
the butter will be firm and hard. The
napkin acts as a wick, and brings the cold
water UP to the butter, chilling and hard
ening it.-Woman's Home Companion fol
September.

KEEPING VEGETABLES.

In a cool cellar on a shelf ~cabbages ought
to keep fresh for nearly two weeks If COW
cred and Kept free from dust. Peas spread
out thinly on a shelf will keep for a week,
but beans will not last half so long. In
reckoning how long fresh Vegetables will
keep the question as to how fresh they are
when purchased must be considered, When
they are raised on ones own place it is a
different matter, but in the city, where
they must pass through various hands, they
are sometimes two lays or more old.
Radishes and lettuce do not keep we'll,
and should be used at the first opportunity.
Remember that c~antaloupes will faint milk
and butter and should never be put into
the refrigerator.
Meat should not be placed directly upon
the ice.

MAY BE REMARKED
DU POINTS WERE DIVORCED
LAST YEAR.
Powder Trust Man Got Decree on
Ground of Cruel and Inhuman Treat
ment in Wilmington.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 13.-Wil-
mington's most exclusive social circles
have been discussing for several weeks
a rumor that Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred 1. du
Pont, who were divorced last Deem
Der in Sioux Falls, S. D., would soon
be remarked.
Mr.. du Pont is vice-president of the
powder trust, of which his cousin, Il.
Coleman du Pont, is the head. He is
also a cousin of United States Senator
du Pont, of Delaware, who is travelling
in Europe.
At the home of Alfred du Pont last
night a relative said that he was tour
ing in an automobile along the New
Jersey coast and would not return for
several nays.
Efforts to see Mrs. du Pont were un-
successful, but when called to the
phone she said:
81 cannot discuss my family matters
in the newspapers"
Asked to deny or confirm the rumor
of her remarriage to Mr.. du Pont, she
said, after some hesitation and in a
half-hearted way:
"I wish you to deny that for me. Be-
yond that I have nothing to say"
Mrs. du Pont, before her marriage,
was Miss Bessie Gardner, Of Boston.
Despite her denial, Mrs. du Points close
friends declare that there have been
many indications of late that she and
her husband would 500 adjust their
differences, If they nave not already
done so, and again become man and
wife.
1t was just a year ago this
month that Mr.. and Mrs. du Pont
separated, he going to Atlantic City
and she remaining at their country
place in Christiana Hundred, near Will
mington, with their four children. MI.
du Pont has since decided this prop
erty to her and allows her a large in
come. Mr.. du Pont resides on Concord
turnpike, in Wilmington, but spends
much Of his time touring the country
in his huge red motor car, which he
drives himself.

FOR THOSE WHO
STAY AT HOME.

Women who remain at home have one
advantage, In that they can often buy
pretty things at the summer sales. Furnl-
ture sales and linen sales are usual at TINS
season, and already the price or summer
fabrics is coming down.. and materials
may be bought and laid away until next
year without going out of style.
The charming wickerware when mas
beer brought to such a state of p~erfec1on
is suitable for bedroom or, den when IT'S
usefulness on the piazza is over. Banked
with gay eretonne cushions and enameled
white or stained in dark color, 1t furnishes
well, Since 1t is light in weight, Its suit
ability in a small house or apartment Is
obvious. as 1t is easy to move about, and
the coy armchairs, with book rests and
work stands, do we'll in a den. Bamboo IS,
of course, a little more summary In ap-
pearance and is really only suitable lot
the summer cottage or conservatory.
If one wishes to inclose the porch OF
part of it in glass without attempting a
regular conservatory with growing plants
the inclosure will make an attractive coffee
room or den by using wicker furniture and
a couch and hanging tapestries and
Turkish or Japanese draperies to keep out
eyes. More than one house in
the suburbs has a little glass room of this
sort, which is used for after-dinner smok-
ing by the men or as a sun pnrlor during
the day. The steam heat may be extended
to Ii in cold weather.; or, If wide doors
open into one of the rooms In the house
proper little extra heat is required II the
place be we'll built. The general effect is
like the prettily furnished summer
piazza.

Have you ever noticed the vacation
manner of some men? If not, please
begin at once, for you will derive much
amusement from the study.

on duty in the city will assume the
most lordly swagger with his summer
suit of light flannel, and his egotism
knows no bounds when he finds him

and throwing out his chest, he smiles
magnanimously pon the girls. feeling
sure that they are consumed with adj
miration.
AS he nears the water he gathers
himself together. as it were, rushes
madly down the beach and takes a
fairly good dive into the tumbling surf,

head, with one eye on the girls,
for their approval is as necessary to
his elf-glorification as is honey to the
bee.

THE VALUE OF
FRESH FRUIT JUICES.

Fresh fruit juices are often more bene-
fetal than saueers full of acid fruit, full
of seeds and loaded with sugar. Because
they have not always done so, housekeep-
ers are apt to begrudge the waste oil
crushing the fruit. since in the form OF
a beverage it makes less show.
Form the habit. however. Stew and
strain and chill the juice. Perhaps it Will
need very little sugar. Serve 1t iced IN
pretty glasses. Combine the fiavors, such
az currant and raspberry. lemon ana
peach. and so on. Blackberry Is delicious.
'Currantade" was a good old-fashioned
beverage when lemons were not so com
mon as now for lemonade and an acid
drink was demanded.
Even rhubarb may be made into a nice
drink long after 1t is forgotten for sauce.

dens now. Add "A little lemon to 1t or rup

nearly to death with her attention. whlie
she who has less to say and uses FEWER

who drives her son frantic by her cod

boy, and has no use for kisses and fuss
Ing. and 1t is almost funny to see the
manner in which he accepts her attentions.
One day [ ] heard him Say TO her, "Mother,

big" and in reply she laughed, kissed
him again, and answered, But mother

her understand that it was just because

A LITTLE ADVICE.

Always use a porcelain or g~raniteware
kettle in making preserves, and use a clean
wooden spoon. In making your syrup, be
careful not to let 1t burn or boil over and
always skim carefully. If you have old
fashioned preserves that are not In air.
tight Jars, and you see some mold coming
on the top of them, don't mind 1t, as 1t
keeps the air from the preserves 'and does
not injure them in the least. only be very
careful when you remove 1t to use the
fruit that you do not let any of the mold
get into the juice.

HINTS FOR THE HOME.

Brass which is badly furnished should
first be rubbed with salt and vinegar OF
oxalic acid; wash this off with soap ano
water and polish as usual with a gooo
prepared cleanser.
Vinegar and salt will remove the brown
stains from the inside of a teacup. It is
said, however. that dry salt well rubbed
in will be as ~eficacious as when dissolved
in vinegar, so try this first.
When the bars of a CRATE have burned
red add a little lemon juice to the black

Sliced raw potato and hot water are con-
sidered excellent for cleaning the inside

TO PEEL PEACHES.

The best way to peel peaches is to put a
few in a bowl and pour over them a pint
of very hot water. DOM bet them stand
in 1t for more than a few minutes; then
pour off and put on cold water for a min
ute or two. The skin will then roll off as
easily as it does from a tomato. After
peeling, cut each peach in two and pick
out the stone.

A pretty finish for a thin waist is made
with insertion. and this can be made more
attractive IL the Insertion is basted in
place and outlined on both sides with a
line stitch. One may use a very coarse
thread. making a cable cord edge on both
sides of the material which is neat and
dainty.
