HER STAINED FINGERS.

In an interior city which prides it.
self upon the responsibility of its
smart set and it's superiority to those
who indulge in fashionable fads one
of the society leaders is woman who
is always criticising her neighbor's
actions. Whether it is brainstorm
hat, sheath gown or a petticoat
overlaced to her taste, she never fails
to express her opinion of the wearer,
usually an opinion spiced with spite.
The other day she was calling upon
young matron, and as she condescend-
ingly accepted cup of tea she began
to carp as was her wont. The young
matron stood the caustic remarks I'M

hasty look at her hand, where unmis-

IT Was His Deal.

There is a man out in Joplin, Mo-,
who is known to his familiars as Glib
Barbee. Glib is one of the best men
that ever lived, and he takes as much
interest in politics as any other man
could possibly, because he is the
"boss" of the party in his home
town. But it is not his politics
1 intend to discuss; it is certain
card game. When Glib was younger
than he is now he visited the town
of Neosho, Is miles away, and while
over there he INDUCED in quiet
game. One of his whilom Joplin
friends discovered that he was not
getting exactly square deal, and
tipped Glib off to the effect that his
opponent had turned jack from the
bottom
"Well,' said Glib, "w'ats eatin'
you? Wusn't it his deal?"-New

The "Spy Mirror"

A woman from Philadelphia
brought to New York with her one
of those little spy mirrors popular
down there because housewives can
look out from their sitting rooms
and take in the identity of callers
before sending down word whether
they are at home. This bred-in-the-
bone Philadelphia attached the mir
ror to a window sill in her Brook
lyn apartment and proceeded to feel
at home because of it's presence.
Within a week the owner of the
apartment requested her to take the
spy mirror down.
"The people in the next fiat COM
plain that you are trying to look in
to their rooms" the owner said.--

Tho Real Cause of weakness.

The decline in numbers among the
free churches of Great Britain is a
subject for lament. The English pa
pers are filled with anxious discus
sions of the fact. 1t appears that the
passion for souls is lacking and evan
gelism is discredited The churches
are doing little more than the ethical
societies are doing. Sevcrlty-five per
cent. of the population are reported
as being either Indifferent Or hostile
to the churches.
The churches are S;3%day clubs,
reform societies or benevolent agen-
cies They are not homes for the
soul. Prayer is not vital but for
NAL. Conviction Is not present.
They have the ethic of religion
without the evangel. This condition
is warning to all the world. The
primary note in all our preaching
and work should be evangelistic.
Stagnation and death stare us in the
face when we cease to seek the lost.
