ENDED THE BIBLE READING.
Beginner Resented Wife's Enjoyment
of His Mistake.

A Kansas City man, who had fol.
lowed stock quotations, football scores
and race form sheets more closely
than he had religious and literary mat.
ters. recently was persuaded by his
wife to read aloud each evening from
the Old Testament to improve the
knowledge of both on Biblical matters
The man became interested In the
story of the scriptures and read aloud
several evenings with great gusto and
pleasure. One night as he was swing.
ing along he read: "And they horse
whipped the beasts"
Hold on!" exclaimed his wife.
what was that?"
"They horsewhipped the beasts" he
repeated, and continued reading. His
wife got up from her sewing, crossed
the room, looked over his shoulder and
read:
"'They worshiped the beasts
There" she said, Il knew the word
horsewhipped was not In the Bible.
He! He!"
The man closed the Bible with a
snap, clasped the snap, and that con
cluded the readings for all time.

A DAYS OUTING
By GLEN HATHAWAY
(Copyright.)

| ing ont the interesting places on the
road for the ladies and even getting
out occasionally and picking flowers
for them.
The drive home in the late after
noon was delightful, and 1t was with
real gratitude that the cousins paid
and thanked and dismissed their non
pareil Of stage drivers at their own
gate. He looked little doubtfully at
brown hand, and for a moment Marie,
who had once had a trifiing expert
ence with a Chicago hackman, feared
he was about to dispute the fare, but
he merely slipped it into his pocket,
thanked her and drove away.
Cousin Loretta met the girls on
the porch. She had heard the wheels
stopping at her gate, but had delayed
to put in her teeth and take out her
crimps before appearing in public.
She gazed after the retreating We
hicle and its driver with interest.
Look, girls, there goes the new
wagonette Of the Dalys'!" she eX-
claimed
The what?" gaiped Marie. She
said no more, for Nan promptly gave
her warning pinch. Both had recog
nized the name of DAILY as that Of
the richest saw mill owning family in
the village.
The DAILY wagonette," said Cousin
Loretta. IT'S the first thing of the
sort in town, but those people are al.
ways getting something new. Neil
DAILY was driving it, saw. He hasn't
been long back from yachting tour
with his sister. She married a New
York banker"
Nan presently escaped to her room
under plea OF charging her gown.
Charlevoix county herald., 1908-01-25

There she was followed by Mrs.
Powell. The two looked at each other
an instant in eloquent silence, and
then Nan cried and Marie laughed till
boNl were out OF breath.
The joke on us is too, too good."
sighed the latter at length.
On the very next evening the ladies'
society Of the church to which Miss
Loretta and Miss Lavinia belonged
gave lawn social. Miss Lavinia was
chatting about it to Nan as the quar-
tette of cousins walked down the hill
in the scented summer twilight.
You see" she said, I'VE have been
putting if off till Neil DAILY got back
and his sister came home for her reg.
ular visit. They always have lot of
guests then, and they always come to
tonight"
Several elderly acquaintances of the
Misses Van Vechten greeted them
! and the girls. and Nan answered them
all mechanically; but her whole mind
was given to tensely watching a GER
tain faultlessly attired, bronzed young
as he neared her party.
Nan" whispered Marie warningly.
"it is 10 be hoped that our friend the
stage driver will have sense enough
to pretend he is properly acquainted
with us, for old Mrs. Pepperell saw us
yesterday and has just been asking me
how we enjoyed our drive, and she
1,nN
her"
Here was a new complication, Nan
bit her lip veXedly. She was aware
that Neil Daily had come up and had
taken his cue and was speaking to
her and Marie Powell as an acquaint
ance. but she was sure she accept
ed his escort for promenade mere.
ly to give Mrs. Pepperell no cause for
remark and to get him away before
Miss Loretta or Miss Bavinia should
turn from the gossiping group they
were engaged with, and ask awkward
questions as TO how and where they
had been introduced to Mr.. Daly.
This point, indeed, has never been
made quite clear TO the Misses Van
Vechten. They know, and innocently
value as q fine feather i'm their social
caps, the patent fact that Neil DAILY
introduced his sister TO Nan and
Marie that evening at the social; and
they know that presently her brother
was doing much more than his share
Of the calling. and that his wooine
sped with such true Irish fervor that
almost before old Mrs. Pepperell could
begin to- gossip much about his at
tentions to Nan. their engagement was
announced

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of this Coffee Troubles

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-

years. He was too sick to work. His
