Made tho Most of His Hats.

When Lord Miner held his first re-
ception at Pretoria the officers and
legislators were given to understand
that frock coats and tall hats were ex-
pected of them. There was only one
shop in the place in which silk hats
were sold, and this had but four of
them. The Transvaal Legislators rush
ed Off In a body to buy these four, but
the halter, not being mad, saw his
opportunity In their extremity. He
knew there was no time TO get hats
from anywhere else, so he resolved not
to sell. He offered to let them out on
hire at the rate of 10 shillings for ten
minutes. His shop was close at hand.
Four gentlemen could present them
selves before his excellency. After ten
minutes they must silently steal away
and hand over their hired finery to an
other painting quartet. 1t was done,
and the halter still repeats dreamily as
he recalls the moment OF his life ''It
would not have been fair to have sold

not fair to myself. Pail Mall Ca

D. A. r. Meeting.

One of the most enjoyable and in
structive occasions for the month,
was the October meeting of "Eunice
Farnsworth" Chapter of the ID. A. K.
at the residence of Mrs. S. w. Phil
brick on Friday afternoon last.
Miss Lee Olney from Providence,
r. L., who spends her summers at Mt.
Kineo, had kindly consented at Mrs.
Philbrick's invitation, to give the
Chapter one of her lectures on En-
glish History, during the reign of
the Stuarts. She had with her over
forty colored Illustrations, attractive
ly arranged around the parlors. of the
jewels, articles of clothing, arms and
other relics belonging to the kings
and queens of those days, which
we're photographed from the articles
themselves, now preserved in the
museums of England. Her travels
and researches through those coun-
tries, brought everything very clear
ly before the company and her
charming personality added much to
the interest of the lecture.
Miss Gertrude Webb accompanied
on the piano by her sister Miss Webb
gave two charming songs.
At the close of the program, re-
freshments of ice cream and dainty
cakes we're served and many thanks
from members and guests were ex-
tended to Mrs. Philbrick for most
delightful afternoon.

married to Miss Lucinda Page Of
Cornyille. OF the three children

AS the national campaign progress
es to its close, the most gratifying
news comes to the Republican head
quarters. Taft sentiment is growing
everywhere from North to South,
from East to West. Bryan's temper
is greatly ruffied, in fact he is real
mad, and that's good sign for our
side. His recent speeches reek with
abuse of candidates and principles,
and he seems to be getting ready to
"throw up the sponge" The East is
safe for Taft, while the great West is
enthusiastic for him. The "solid
SOUTH" will certainly be broken, and
that term will in the future be a
legend and myth. Many of the
people of the Southern States find it
for their interests to break with the
task masters, the Democratic mana
gers. Their noses have been held
down to the grindstone altogether too
long. We know it is dangerous to
predict, but If we read the signs of
the times Alright, Bryan will be worse
beaten than he was four years ago or
eight years ago. Then at last he will
have reached his political grave and
another tomb stone erected. And
from 5his third death can there pos
sibly be a resurrection?
