LENGTHY LINEAGE.

In Leaves From the Notebooks Of
Lady Dorothy Nevill," edited by Lady
Dorothys son, Ralph Nevin. there Is
an amusing story of an old peer whose
considerable family pride was agree
ably tempered with humor.
One day he was surprised to be told
by his sister that she had conceived
great affection for a well known al
though eccentric man of science who.
although generally esteemed, was OF
very humble Semitic origin.
Not quite determined as to what
course of action he should take, he
sent for the prospective bridegroom
with the intention of talking matters
over. After some conversation he said:
And now, SIR, should like to know
something about your family"
81 think" replied the other, that it
VIII be sufficient to say that I am Of
the descent Of the illustrious blood Of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"
"Oh," said the peer, "of course our
family has nothing to compare with
that II my sister really likes you,
you had better take herr

What is the greatest thing in the
world?
The scholar replies:
KNOWLEDGE is the greatest be-
cause it is fundamental. Without
knowledge one is lost. knowledge
comprehends all that may be known
and explains all that may be explained.
The artist replies:
ART is the greatest thing. 1t is
more than knowledge. 1t is the next to
creative power. 1t is human miracle
The lawyer replies:
JUSTICE is the greatest of all. Or
ganized society cannot live without it..
1t is the soul of peace. 1t is the
spring of progress,
Youth replies:
AMBITION is the greatest thing.
Without it a man would be but an
animal. Civilization is simply realized
ambition. XIII ambition and hope
would be dead.
Age replies:
CONFINEMENT is greatest. Gar
ner your knowledge, realize your am
bition. What then? Rest and con-
tentment fill up the measure of living.
The financier replies:
MONEY is the greatest of all. It
makes the difference between savagery
and sanity. Its power is known in
every place. 1t moves all things.
The spender replies:
| PLEASURE is the greatest thing.
The joy OF the senses is all. All sensa-
ton leads up to enjoyment. He who
treads the primrose path of dalliance,
he who squeezes most out of the or.
Rnge Of life. is wisest of all.
The mother replies:
SELF SACRIFICE is greatest be.
cause it is the highest duty and II
gives the supremest pleasure
The invalid whispers:
/ HEALTH is greatest. knowledge
ambition. money, pleasure, content
ment-all these fee in the presence OF
pain and suffering.
The preacher replies:
RELIGION is the greatest of all. II
Is the only tie that binds men to i'm
mortality. 1t is more than philosophy
1t is life.
Now,
Is there no greatest thing? Surely
Let US all answer:
love is the greatest thing in the
world" Without it knowledge is vain
ambition is purposeless. money is use
less. contentment impossible 1t in
Icludes all else. 1t is the supreme mo
tive of religion, the essence of sell
sacrifice, the spring of art, the source
Of all highest pleasures.
Drummond was right. The Creates
thing in the world is love.

democratic cause would derive its
greatest impetus from the organization
of these clubs throughout the country.
The appeal for club organization is
signed by Chairman Mack and John
w. Tomlinson, head of the committee
on club organization.
Asserting that the republican party
intends to rely on favor-seeking in
terests, the call for club organiza ton
says:
"All patriotic citizens, irrespective Of
party, who stand for tie rule of the
people and are against the corrupt and
undue influence of money in elections,
and to that end favor publicity of
the larger campaign contributions be-
fore the election, as demanded by the
democratic platform are urged to or
ganize themselves Immediately into
campaign clubs for the presidential
election"

with a deep orange-almost a brown
-taffeta. Such goods as cashmere,
lustre, mohair, taffet, and any of the
plain fabrics used for skirts would
make up well in this design and be
in taste for separate waists.
A pleasing shirtwaist suit was
shown in blue and white cotton pom
gee. The skirt is constructed of
nine cores and is in clearing length,
the lower edge with the plaits drawn
out measuring about four yards and
five-eights. The tucks at the cores
are stitched three times to the knees
and then allowed to flare. The shirt
waist is laid in two groups of two
tucks from the shoulders to the bust
line and the front closing is made
with buttons and button holes.
White turnover collars and cuffs are
worn and a crushed kid belt.

deeper shade of the pink in velvet
The bottom of the skirt was decorat-
ed with folds of the materials and
insets of lace which in the front
formed a panel like effect.
A dainty dancing dress was chosen
in blue marquisette with narrow ruff
files of chantilly at the head of the
deep flounce. The lower part of the
five-gored skirt has an irregular
ornamental outline defined by the
narrow ruffles. The waist is mount
ed on a foundation, the full portion
being gathered to the yoke, and ruff
files are applied in fancy design con-
tinuing in the same style around the
sleeves. For dressy blouse the
neck would be cut in square outline,
and with it the sleeves are short.
terminating in wide bands which are
covered with net ruffles. Chiffon
voile with an embroidered figure.
crepe de Chine, wool crepe and mes
saline are suitable for a less dressy
gown. The model is appropriate for
all the new goods shown in wash
materials, and an embroidered cot
ton voile trimmed with lace or net
ruffles would make pretty summer
dress.
Odd skirts are always in order and
those of linen will be quite in order
for the southern trip. One of these
in hairlined linen has thirteen cores
with an overstitching on each seam.
These cores in another model were

INAPPROPRIATE SONGS.

My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run
And our presiding elder used to tell,
with great glee. of a bishop, who, at
general conference. retired with
his committee to the ante-room to
finish an important report, song
service to fill the gap. As the re-
turning clergymen filed down the
main aisle, headed by the bishop, the
chorus came out on:
% See the mighty hosts advancing,
Satan leading on!
But the most amusing incident
that really came under my own OBJ
servation was while assisting in a
revival service in a small Western
town. The evangelist seemed to find
in very successful doctor of that
place subject for special and un-
usual effort. One evening, while he
was earnestly exhorting with the
medical gentleman to come to the
altar, an enthusiastic sister began
singing:

maintained a straight face. 1t is
