The preacher had read the notices

He dwelt especially on the Importance
Of a midweek conservation service and
urged any who were without the fold
to take that occasion to put away
worldly things and unite with the
church people. 1t was good evan

said In effect.

The Dissipated $500.
BY CHARLES BATTELL LOOMS.

Once there was a man who suddenly
found himself possessor of $500. 1t
was all he had in the world, but it
made him feel rich.
And as he walked along he found
himself outside the grounds of a cir
Gus.
1t was not long before 1t was ru-
mored that the man who had just ar
rived had $500 on his person.
Whereupon man mounted an aban-
doned soap box and said: Fellow citi-
doned soap box and said:
This is indeed an unfair world, be-
cause here we are, reputable and de-
serving citizens all, and every one of
us wild to go to the circus inside and
not one of us with a cent in his jeans.
On the other hand, here is man who
does not wish to go to the circus and
yet he has $780,"
Then the crowd began to murmur:
Its a wonder he wouldn't take pity
on us and bring a little joy into our
lives"
Whereat, being a fair-minded man,
and generous withal, the man with the
Wad of greenbacks asked permission
to take the box, and stepping on it he
said:

Some time thereafter you stroll cas-

You crawl into it with ease, but with

The gentle breezes play tag with your

However the doctors and health
fearful may revile iced tea, it is
bound to stay as long as our Their
mometers are so unruly in summer,
1t is surprising, however, considering
the amount of iced tea we Americans
consume, how rarely it is good.
The most scientific and supposedly
healthful way to prepare it is to pour
freshly brewed hot tea over large
lump of ice, then pour into glasses
half filed with shaved ice. Unfortu-
nately the ice trust forbids most
housekeepers to be lavish, SO the re-
| suits are decidedly lukewarm.
More economical is it to make a
small quantity of rather strong tea

is to pass a section Of lemon to each
guest. Far better is the taste if both
lemon and sugar are mixed with the
tea when the iced water is added.
Better yet is it to adopt the Russian
plan of grating the rind of a lemon
and pouring hot tea over 1t.
