NATURAL.

There is stalwart negro in a town of Alabama whose naturally fine sing ing voice is the feature of the local colored church choir.
 On one occasion, when the singer was suffering from protracted ill., ness one of the deacons called to as certain how the patient was "gittin' on"
 Hes got an awful bad cough just now" explained the singers wife, with a most mournful sigh.
 Well, dat's too bad, dat's too bad,' exclaimed the deacon. casting about for some means of consolation. Then happy thought struck him. Come to think of il" he added, it ain't no wonder, wifi dat strong voice he was pressin' on his lungs! He's shore due to have a cough now 'n' then, ain't he?"-Harper's Weekly.

SPREE FOR PREACHERS WIFE. X Plot to Get One Away From Her
 Many Duties.

A contributor to The Pilgrims Scrip" in the American Magazine, tells how she Is going to lead a preachers wife into "debauch," She says:
 "I am going to give myself brand new sensation next week. Maybe God will forgive me. l am so absurdly, whimsically poor. I am going to feel my oats as a philanthropist. There is a poor little lady, a Methodist preach CTS wife, and near and kin to me- who has become very poor. She has borne eight children in fourteen years and never had days rest from her lively brood. The other day she wrote me that she thought she was going to die, and could not afford a decent shroud I sent her a new walk ing suit and ticket to A. and an invitation to spend week with me, engaged doctor, and told her if she died while here I'd bear the fun eral expenses. Meanwhile. if she really meant to die it was all the more necessary to have one whole good time before the long sleep. I pointedly re- fused to invite any of the children which she resented at first, But now she is resigned, She will come, with her dear heart tugging back to them all the way. And when she comes, I shall give her worldly rest from all spiritual cares. She shall go to no missionary meetings nor prayer services She shall forget the hard strain of doing so awfully patiently right all the time as a minister's wife and be little less good. She shall go to the theater, yes. though it is against the laws of her church, and though she has never seen inside of one of the wicked things. I had not myself until I went to New York, and how it did rest me, She shall laugh and enjoy all those things selfishly which ordinarily she yields to her children.
 Tt makes my heart sit up inside me and giggle when I think of the tricks shall play upon her forlornly sweet virtues. I do think I am one of the most talented hypocrites in this world, for I can see myself through all of next week, and I can see her, the little jade white rose of lady, pac- ing about together wandering from the fold, going happily astray as fl I there were no Methodist Discipline ir the world, and 1t makes the tears come into my eyes. But, dear sil you will miss the point if you thinl
 that I am writing this to brag of my charity-no! It's my luxury I'm brag i ging about The luxury of conferrins

FIGHTING IT OUT,

Clear the decks for actionl"
 The big guns were now in position and the eyes of the combatants sparkled.
 Clear the decks for action!"
 The order had rung out clear and distinct beyond a possibility of misun- derstanding.
 My God!" cried a man trembling, my wife is here!"
 Clear the decks for action!"
 The order came with grim relent- lessness. It was followed by an antici- patory shuttle and one minute later the Ninth Ward Ladies Bridge Club had swung into full session.-Puck.

STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS.
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TELE- pHONE CnHDANX

The annual meeting of the stockhold- CTS of the Southern New England Tele- phone company will he held at the of- fee of the company. Room 2Qi, tele- phone building, New Haven, Conn, on Tuesday. January 2S. 1908. at p. m. to elect directors, and to do any other business properly before said meeting and especially to act upon two propos- tions:
 CD That the directors shall be and are authorized to issue at not less than par the remainder of the capital stock of the company, In amount two millions of dollars. for the purpose of the ex tension and development of the business of the company, from time to time, and in such amounts. and in such manner and on such terms, as will in their judg- ment best promote the Interest of the company.
 (2) That section of the bylaws of the company concerning executive of ficers shall be amended so as to read as follows:
 The officers of this corporation shall be a president, such humber of vice presidents as the board of directors from time to time may prescribe, sec retary, a treasures, a general manager and an executive committee. The duties of the vice presidents and the executive committee shall be determined by the directors of the corporation"
 Since the issue of stock must be ap- proved by vote of two-thirds of all the stock outstanding, and since there are always so many stockholders who are unable to attend, or even to send proxies, it is very essential that every stockholder who can, should either at- tend in person or sign and return the enclosed proxy.
 During the current fiscal year it is expected that only a small proportion of this stock will need to be issued but tho growth of the company will probably require its entire issue within three years, nd it is deemed wise to confer power of issue of the whole upon the directors at this time.
 The operations of the company arc now so extensive that there should be power to appoint more than one vice president whenever deemed necessary and the standing executive committed should be made more permanent and ef. l fective by a bylaw on the subject. 1 By order of the Board of Directors. JAMES ENGLISH.

A BAD MEASURE.

That Aldrich currency bill looks
like an attempt on the part of the
Wall street controlled railroads TO
bolster up the credit Of their stocks
and bonds at the expense of the credit
of the government OF the United
States Senator Aldrich proposes 10
issue when needed $500, 900 900 in
money with good" railroad bonds as
security. Its a pretty scheme to get
the people 10 put their confidence in
Wall street again but it won't work.
III our government would lend itself
to SO foul an effort Wall street would
Instantly begin to herald far and wide
that this, that and the other railroad
bond was eligible for the government
list for currency and, on the strength
of il, would send the price of these
various bonds as high as the skies
We don't want make-shift currency re
form-the country needs IA comprc-
hensive and scientific currency If
we would just lower our stiff neck
heads little to inspect some of the
currency systems of the European
countries, we would learn a few
things that would be of value to us
and that, if adapted to this countrys
needs, would practically do away with
the disastrous money panics we have
But above all things the country does
not want to experiment with Wall
street currency system such as Sena-
tor Aldrich would foist on us. The
farther away we get from Wall
streets influence the better it will be
for us.

DOG OUGHT TO HAVE
HAD BETTER SENSE.

As the result of the efforts of II. H.
Toler to protect his dos, which he
greatly valued. from prisoners. who
are now getting in their deadly work
all over the city, the animal is now
dead.
When Mr.. Toler heard OF the num-
Der OF dogs that had been poisoned. he
took his canine friend TO the stable and
locked him in. When he did so Mr.
Toler forgot that last summer he had
stored some Paris green in the barn.
The dog shortly after being imprisoned
discovered this deadly poison and to-
day when Mr.. Toler went to the barn
lie found the canine stone dead. with
his paws pointing toward the rafters.
Just to think that dog hung
around the drug store all the time and
then didn't know any better than 10
eat Paris green" lamented Mr.. Toler's
drug clerk, when he heard the sad
news.

DENY THAT CHILD
DIED OF NEGLECT.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
A report recently become current to
the effect that a family by the name
of Carson in Danville. Illinois, on ac-
ence teaching permitted "A child TO die
of malignant diphtheria without medi-
cal attention, appeared in your col
umns. Such course of procedure is
utterly foreign to Christian Science
methods.
Christian Scientists willingly follow
quarantine regulations, deeming the
issolation of infectious cases of dis
ease decidedly to the advantage of
their own practice as we'll as condu-
Give 10 public safety. Furthermore,
Christian Science practitioners have
been advised by the leader of the
movement, Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
not to treat infectious or contagious
diseases, until general public opinion
is more favorably inclined toward
spiritual methods of healing. 1t is an
undeniable fact also that Christian
Science parents rank with the high
est in point of nationality and concep-
ton of parental duty and parental
love and that they consequently would
leave no stone unturned in the effort
to reclaim their loved ones from the
ravages of disease. If in their per
sOnal experience they have found spir-
itual means more efficacious in battl-
ing with disease than material medi-
cines they will of course naturally
turn to the former in times of severest
trial, but such a choice would be an
indication of a high sense of perennial
responsibility, in no sense an indica-
ton of neglect.
| the instance above referred to we
have found as usual, upon investiga.
ton, that the parties accused of Grim.
1nal indiscretion, are not Christian
Scientists, do not claim 70 be such
know nothing about Christian Science
and consequently did not have Chris.
tian Science treatment in this case.
Sincerely.
