Doing Chores.

To dig ones own potatoes, to
shock ones own corn, to pick ones
own apples, to pie ones own squashes
at ones own barn! 1t is like filling
ones system with an antitoxin before
going into a fever-plagued country.
One is immune to winter after this,
provided he stays to bake his apples
in his own wood fire. One works him
self into a glow with all his digging,
and picking and piling that lasts until
warm weather comes again; and along
with this harvest glow comes stealing
over him the after-harvest peace. 1t
is the serenity of Indian summer, the
mood of the after-harvest season,
upon him-upon him and his fields
and woods.-Dallas Lore Sharp, in
Atlantic.

Letter Writinq.

Writing interesting letters doesn't
come natural to me, and there are a
good many people with whom 1 must
keep in touch through letters, If at
all. So 1 have got into the way of
keeping a notebook and jotting down
in 1t brief notes to remind me of little
bits of news that will specially inter-
est my different correspondents.
even jot down a little joke sometimes,
says Home Chat. Then, when spare
time comes to write my letters my
notes are ready to kand, and the in
teresting scraps of news don't go fly
ing away directly l put my pen to pa
per, as they used to do. Everybody
tells me my letters are much more in
teresting than they used to be. If
SO, that is the secret

The seIf-Educated Woman.

One of the first things she mus
learn is not to attempt to do too much
herself Every business man knows
that the higher he rises the greater
must be the number of his assistants,
says a writer in Harper's Bazaar. The
private soldier attends to his own af-
fairs himself, but the captain en-
ploys an orderly, and the general has
an entire staff to do his bidding.
Many women have not learned this
lesson. They are so anxious to do
etheir duty in all respects that they
try, to perform the tasks of general
md private soldier at the same time
"a thing manifestly impossible.

An Improved Variety.

The traveller exhibited peculiar
nervousness on seeing the long-legged,
slim, fierce looking hogs that roamed
at will over the country. At length he
asked a native sitting on fence by
the roadside:
Aren't these razorback hogs rather
dangerous?"
81 never heard of none of them do
ing any HARM" remarked the native.
II think they must be safety razor
backs"

DOFFS CONVENTIONAL BLACK:
DONS A HOLY WHITE

Pasadena.-The conventional black
garb of ministers of the gospel has
given place to suits of white flannel
cut in the latest fashion.
This innovation was started by the
Rev. Matt S. Hughes of the exclusive
First Methodist church here today.
AT both his morning and evening
services the Rev. DIR. Hughes occu-
pied his pulpit attired in a complete
white flannel suit. He wore a coat
of the business mans style, double
breasted and cut short; pleatei
white soft shirt, white collar and tie,
white shoes and hose. A white belt
encircled his waist. He wore no vest
As he entered the church in the
morning he carried a white panama
hat in his hand.
Many of the most influential and
wealthy people of Pasadena are MEM
bers of the congregation, to which
the innovation on such a hot day as
today apparently was acceptable.
During the afternoon the Rev. DR..
Hughes wore the same clothes at the
laying of the cornerstone of the
Union-avenue Methodist church at
Loretta Hall
