which Rev" Bill Cummings, who
held down Episcopal pulpit ~ Elk
Rapids, till the fair vision OF Miss
Velma Taylor. aged 10, or 20. came
into his susceptible gaze, viii long re-
member.
Now Brother Bill, UP TO the time
Velma woke him out OF his somnol-
ence, had been more used to singing
such choice morsels of language. as
"sixteenthly, my brethren" than coin
ing tender phrases. notwithstanding
that he has a wife. Ard his range OF
gesturing and FOSTERING, instead o.
conveying the sign language Of love.

uppercuts, jabs and swings TO empha-
size his profoundly absorbing SER
mons on righteousness and morality
and al that sort OF thing.
However:
Velma fell a victim to the blandish-
ments OF the priestlet. or t'other way
round. Anyhow. there was pale.
faded and wishywashy romance.
There was brave little wife. left red
eyed at home from weeping over the

wife's sister, didn't cast one wobbly
little soda water straw In the way OF
his skipping with her to the tail TIN
cut.
And so when the "love" proposition
petered out, there was a desert in the
existence OF each that was as cheer
less as Atlantic City last Sunday.

a heap more sweat than bread. Broth

Mr.. Coats says that IL given the
water franchise which the time Is too
short TO do all the work this season,
yet the reservoir will be built, the
principal force main laid and connect-
ed up with your present street main
distribution so the reservoir can be
filed from your present pumping
plant. thus giving you perfect fire
protection as far as your street mains
go-and probably we would have time
to put sn several miles more Of mains

We would cross the South Arm In

spjdsr Cures.


In China spiders are highly esteemed
N the treatment Of Group. You get
from an old wall the webs Of seven
black spiders-two of which must have
the owners sitting In the middle-and
pound them up in mortar with III
tie powdered alum. The resulting
mixture must then be set on fire, and
the ashes, when squirted into the
throat Of the patient by means OF
bamboo tube. are said to effect GER
tain and immediate cure.
Black spiders are evidently full OF
medicinal virtue, for they are largely
employed In the treatment Of ague as
well. In somersetshire, II one is az
ficted with the unpleasant ailment,
the way to get we'll is to shut up
large black spider in a box and leave
II there till it dies At the moment
of it's disease the ague should disap-
pear. In Sussex the treatment Is more
heroic; the patient must swallow the
spider.
Perhaps, after ALL this remedy may
not be so disagreeable as it appears,
for a German lady who was in the
habit of picking out spiders from their
webs as she walked through the woods
and eating them after FIRST depriving
them of their legs declared that they
were very nice indeed and tasted like
nuts.-LondOn Chronicle.
