nruo Pins and a Hoo

A man in Cape Breton left his estate
OF $4,000 to trustees for the care of a
pair of pigs. In his will he explained
that he did this because otherwise
the money would be in the hands Of
pigs who denied their identities" and
that he "might as well give it to pork
ers who made no pretenses." He al
iuded to some attentive cousins who
were looking for legacies. But what
a lovely Christian spirit and how well
prepared to die! Then, too, how noble
"a purpose to which to devote the saw
lnes Of a frugal and industrious life!
,il suggests a certain sympathy and
kinship between the benefactOr and
the objects of his bounty. AM there
are so many poor and hungry md
helpless human beings to whom his
$1,000 would have meant much!-BOs-

Those Empty Pows.

Some years ago our church paper
contained very able article on empty
news. The writer went on to say he
had no doubt whatever that very
many churches would gladly give a
liberal reward to any person who could
tell how to ill the empty pews. As far
as we know, no one has as yet come
forward to solve the knotty question OF
capture the prize. What an immense
burden would be lifted from many a
faithful pastors heart and from the
financial and spiritual departments or
church life il this stern reality could be
removed. It is not our intention to go
along the old beaten path Of the spir-
ituaI life Of the church, but possibly TO
consider it more from its material
sIde.-J. B. Campbell, D. D. in Chris

Fooled the Sinners.

Pforzheim, Germany, possesses sew
eral choral societies. A few weeks
ago these societies received a letter
which purported to come from So
ciety of German singers in New YORK
inviting the Pforzheimers to come over
to Join in celebrating the five hun
dredth anniversary Of the founding OF
the German choral societies OF that
city. The Pforzheimers at once ac-
Cepted and set to work to rehearse
and to make their preparations for the
tourney. But just before they started
some one pointed out to them that
600 years ago not only were there no
Germans in New York, but that
Christopher Columbus had not even
discovered America. The Pforzheim-
ers then took a great oath not to men
ton the subject to any one, but the
story got out and has almost equaled
that of the famous captain Of Koe'
penick in popularity.-Chicago News

Labor Unions Prepare to Give Battle
to Manufacturers Association.
Norfolk. Va. Nov 13.-That there
will be war to the knife between the
American Federation of Labor and the
National Association of Manufacturers
was evidenced at the session Of the
Federation Of Labor here. The feder
alton has already taken the aggres-
sive by looking to the establishment
of a fund TO fight the manufacturers
through its executive council. The
cry is that undue pressure is being
brought to bear by the manufacturers
of the country against organized labor
to the detriment of the latter, IT is
claimed The manufacturers combat
this in a statement issued by James
Van CIeave president OF the National
Association Of Manufacturers, in
which he holds that the object of his
association is to put labor unions On a
basis whereby they may be held re-
sponsible for their contracts. As an
instance he calls attention to the
pending suit in New York OF the
Typothetae against the pressmen, al
leging the breaking of contracts by
pressmen.

There was great rejoicing in the

the debt against the parsonage was

manner.
Every female member Of the church
wrote a letter to all the boys that were
her schoolmates in bygone days, no
matter where they now live, solicit
ing contributions. The men members
likewise wrote to their schoolgirl
sweethearts of long ago. Many pleas
