Endeavor Convention Nears End.

St. Paul, Mimi, July 12.-Sunday
with the Christian Endeavorers was
a change from the four busy days
that preceded it, and appeared to
give great pleasure. The rallies In
the Auditorium and Central Presby-
terrain church were curtailed, and a
score of churches, whose pulplts
were occupied by visiting ministers
or laymen, invited the delegates to
their societies. But most of them,
even if they were in their places in
church, did more or less Of sight
seeing, and not a few took short
Journeys to Lake Minnetonka and
elsewhere.
Today was the last day of the
convention. Sessions were held in
the Auditorium and in several
churches in the morning and after
noon, with MONDAY rally in the
Metropolitan opera house. Many
prominent speakers were heard dur
ing the day, among them being rep
resentatives of the Christian Endeav-
or society in Mexico. Japan, Africa,
China and other parts of the world.

a man quick to size up a situation,
but the way he sized this one made Us
all sit up and take notice. He came

said:

wrong place and found the right one.
You see, when Santa Claus comes to
a hotel, he doesn't use the fireplace
not he! Just comes right in the
door, walks up here to the big book,
and writes his name, just as mamma
did. Then he looks right up here at
this gas jet, to see if there are any
children in the house, All the chill
dren hang their stockings here, and
it saves Santa a lot of time, not hav-

About this time every year | wish

see that Christmas eve as l remember
it:
Twas bit over ten years ago a
crowd of us boys had hit Denver with
our heavy sample cases. Nasty
weather outside, mighty nasty, and
we sat around the office of the hotel,
smoking, reading, not talking much,
and all bit grouchy because we were
where no sane man, not even a drum
mer, wants to be-away from home
on Christmas eve. The place was
getting blue with smoke and the wind
was banging at the windows, when
somebody's coughing made me sort
of wake up to the fact that | was
reading my paper upside down, and
mostly thinking about Tom Briggs.
Briggs was from our State, too

round good chap, meant to be in the

lows always have feeling that the
best way to sympathize with a man
in Briggs run of luck is to keep your
mouth shut and your wallet open.
So when the doctor said: Rare at

Period Of Wearing It Is Shortened

Period of Wearing II Is Shortened
and It Is Less Conspicuous.
Whether we approve or not, it, is
undenlably true that the period Nof
mourning is being shortened and the
evidences made less conspicuous
than in the years Of the past, says
the Haberdssher. Only rarely now
adays do men wear emblems of grief
for persons outside OF their immedi-
ate family
First mourning for a wife covers a
year, and for other relatives six
months, During the first period only
black and white effects are permis.

band, white shirt, either plain or
with black stripes, and black suit.
overcoat, waistcoat, half hose, gloves
and shoes.
The second period of mourning
lasts six months for a wife and three
months for any other relative. In
this time gray Is correct and the
mourning band is not worn on the
hat. Black and white effects as well
as gray are allowable.
The brassard or sleeve band is in
exceedingly bad form. It originated
in England as an expedient for SER
wants and others who could not af'
ford entire change of outfit.
Attendance at social affairs of a
ceremonious character is not expect
ed during the first period of mourn
ing. If circumstances make it nee
essary the only change from custom
airy usage is in daytime, black gloves
and cravat. instead of gray, and in
the evening cloth band, not silk, on
the silk hat.
Black tie and waistcoat should not
be substituted in the evening for the
white, nor are black studs and links
or black bordered handkerchief any
longer approved. These things saw
ored Of parading sorrow and have
wisely been abandoned. The prim-
airy purpose of black is to prevent
such embarrassment as might arise
from ignorance Of bereavement on
the part Of those met.

To the Pure in Heart.

God stood upon the altar-stair,
Unseen of all the throng,
Across the wreathing incensed air
They watched the myriad candles flare,
They heard the holy song;
And low they knelt, and fast they prayed,
Calling on Christ and Mary Maid.
ooh keep us from all i'll, they said
Thy servants love make strong"
But all this time God waited there,
Unseen upon the altar-stair.
God stood beside the altar-rail
Unseen Of all but one
And she was a mere thing of sale;
Her cheeks were stained with tears ard
pale;
She knew what she had done.
The gentle folk paused in their prayer
To eye the creature weeping there;
Preserve us, Christ and Mary Fair"
Thus did their swift words run,
But she-so may pure hearts prevail
Had seen God standing by the rail-

the gas over the desk something yell
low slid from his hand, and the toe of
the little black stocking stretched a
bit. One after another the rest of
the crowd followed, and, somehow,
with each passing the little black
dangler got heavier and longer. All
