The tendency of the measures of this character to
prevent the threatened and anticipated designs of Roman
Catholicism upon the public schools of America. They
have had their effect. Efforts have been made in Ken

and privilege of having their children educated under
Roman Catholic tuteage but they must be required to

State has no right be required to contribute towards the
support of any school of purely UNCONVENTIONAL character
The public schools supported by common tax, are open
to all children within the scholastic age, and Catholic
parents with the rights others, have the privilege
of using these schools for their children. The work OF

The District Attorney of Lancaster county, caused the
school directors of Mount Joy township to be indicted for
violation of the law. The directors lin their answer
TO the Indictment undertook to demur the ground that

controversy would be infringement of the constitutional
guarantee of religious liberty The Judge of the County
Court before whom this demurrer argued, sustained
the contention of the directors and dismissed the indlc

upon an issue of law which resulted in reversal OF the
findings of the lower court and Miss Riser must either
give up her secarian gar quit teaching in the public

The Mind That Excels.

Col. George Harvey, the young pub
Usher and writer, praised in recent
address in New York the country mind.
Even in wrong and ignoble things,
said Col. Harvey, smiling, "even in
driving hard bargains, the country
mind excels that of the city. recall a
dialogue that once heard in the gen.
eral store of my native Peacham. What
Wall street sharp could have driven
such a bargain as the old Vermont ru-
ralist achieved in this dialogue?"
And Col Harvey, with really excel
lent mimicry, repeated:
"'Ye say ye want a dollar fur the
boots. Take 10 cents?"
Yes
"'Ye mout throw in one O. them
woolen throat warmers, too, hey?'
".All right
Hold on thar. The boots amt got
no strings.
"T'll give ye pair of strings
Better make 1t two pair. One
won't last no time
Very well; two pair is it,
Cant ye chuck in one O. them pa
per collars fur good measure?
"'Oh, guess so, rather than miss a
trade
Look here, when a feller buys a
bill O. goods of'n ye. don't ye set 'em
up?'
"'Yes. Whatll you take?
Gimme two plugs O. chewin' ta-
backer an a pound O. scrapple.'"

They had been sitting in the dark

communion of soul with soul that needs
no articulate to give it language.
But something compelled George to
speak. The longing that surged UP
frim his very heart must find express

spoken.
What is 1t, George?" she whispered
1T may involve some sacrifice on

"Yesl Yesi" the beautiful girl ex-

: BUYING BY MAIL :

Yes, it's a fine scheme-for the 9TH
er fellow-but the buyer often doesn't
get what he thinks he's buying. For
instance, Mr.. Mail Order House, says
in his catalogue:
Ladies' Diamond Ring, fine dia-
mond, $87," and shows a pretty pic
ture, and the offer looks good, on pa
per. But, do you notice lack Of de-
tail there that Is against the buyer?
Did you ever stop to think that the
price may be rather high? Not a
word is said about the weight Of the
ring" or the weight Of the fine dia-
mond." Likewise with watches, IL
reads, "Solid gold case. Elgin or Wal
than movement" Not a word is
said about the weight Of the "solid
gold case" and the "Elgin or WAL
than movement" may be a 7, II, 15
or II jeweled movement, with a price
that ought to buy a heavy weight case
with 21 or % jeweled movement.
When you buy from Speck he has
to tell you the weight Of the ring, the
stone, the case and the grade Of
movement.

At his daughters wedding, Mark
Twain, in the scarlet cap and gown
Of oxford, was very brilliant. He re-
lated many amusing memories Of his
journalistic life in Virginia City.
"A temperance lecturer once came to
Virginia City," he said, "and in his
lecture he cited the case Of a young
Nevadan who had died from the effects
of a half pint of brandy.
THE case was a well-known one, but
it had been a pint of whisky, not a
half-pint of brandy, that had killed the
youth; and consequently i, as Answers

His Longest Ensasement.-At the
Army and Navy club in Washington
one evening a group Of officers, most
of them young men, were swapping
stories of various engagements during
the war with Spain and the subse-

Rather Quaint.-Apropos of divorce,
Judge Simon L. Hughes of Denver said
at recent dinner:
"A marriage likely to end in divorce
was celebrated last week in Circleville.
A minister told me about it.
An oldish man-70 or so-was led
rather unwillingly to the altar by a
widow of about As.
He was slow -witted old fellow, and
the minister couldn't get him to repeat
the responses properly. Finally. in
despair the minister said:
LOOK here, my friend, l really can't
marry you unless you do what you are
told
But the aged bridegroom still re-
manned stupid and silent and the bride,
losing all patience with him. shook him
roughly by the arm and hissed:

him just as if you were mOcking him."

A Joker.-A looking man en-
tered a store in Trenton the other day
and asked for assistance, backing up
his request with a long tale of sick
ness and lack of employment.
With a wink at his clerk, the mer-
chant pointed to a friend who hap
pened to be in the place and replied:
ASK that gentleman. He is the
proprietor. l am only a clerk"
The friend received the beggar's re-
quest in a sympathetic manner, and,
turning to the merchant, remarked:
This seems to be a worthy case, Mr..
Jones. Give him a dollar from th"
cash register" and walked out of the
store.-Lippincott's.

NO OTHER COMPANY Would
Have Paid Under Similar
Circumstances

Hardinsburg, KY, Oct. 10. 1902.
w. w. Dennis & Co., Gen. Agents,
Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Co.,
Louisville, KY.
My son, Owsley Bivens, insured in
the Company you represent in July,
1908.
When the 1909 premium came due,
he did not pay It, but allowed the pol
icy (No. 4S5S05) to lapse.
l understand that DR.. F. L. Lightfoot
urged him to keep up the insurance
and suggested that he would advance
the 1909 premium to the Company for
him, but my son did not want him to
do this.
My son went out west last summer
and was killed by traction engine.
l was very much surprised to learn
that the Mutual Benefit had extended
the policy, in accordance with its pro-
visions, and that 1t was still good, al
though my son had made only one
payment:
l am informed that no other compa-
ny in the world would have paid this
loss when only one premium had been
paid:
1 am truly grateful to the Company
for the $1,000 check, and would like to
say that this only shows the import
ance Of insurance, and that your Com
pany is surely a most generous one In
protecting policyholders when they
fail to protect themselves, as my son
did. Yours very truly,
Ida Bivens.
The above letter tells of only one Of
the numerous advantages that Mutual
Benefit policies possess over those OF
all other Companies. They are better
and cost less.
