Under normal conditions We en-
deavor to give each meeting held in
town a writeul., though we know It's
treading on dangerous ground, for
no matter how we may turn our pen
in dealing with such matters, there
are always sure to be some disattec-

fected by the one article are of anoth-
er denomination and they are pleas
ed when we get round to theirs and
so on, so we just lick in and dot 1t
down as we see it, Now for what we
intended to say when starting to pen
this article. Stress of space pre-
vented penning anything about the
PIesbyterean meeting under Camp
bell. and before could get to it in
came another meeting, and as we
have space now to treat the meeting,
would say something about the Pres
byterean to manifest fairness, but is
its so long gone, not much. The
meeting was of usual character ano
well attended, Campbell preaching
with customary incisiveness.
The Baptist meeting under the
preaching of Rev. Bryan Simmons O

onite sure that the class of sermon:
Bro. Simmons delivered will proy,
helpful, of course especially to hi
own people. Bro. Simmons ha'
some oratorical gifts and his ad

worked diligently for several hours
without any copy on his small-cap case

the story OF wonderful find he and
some of his comrades found in Nc
Douglas cave the Sunday before. The
narration was to the effect that crowd
OF boys, while exploring the great cave
on Sunday afternoon. ran across pet.
riied Indian. The citizens were great
ly worked up over the story, and they
hired scientist from Quincy to look
the dead Indian In the face and report.
The man who came to perform this
task wore gray mutton-chop whiske-s.
a thoughtful brow, and spectacles. of
course. He was an Unconditional chap,
and he looked learned and the commit
tee was satisfied of his ability. BY
the terms Of his contract he was to
write a complete report, detailing
every possible feature OF the discovery
for historical preservation. The in.
vestigator returned at nightfall, COW
cred with clay, with clothing torn and
skin barked in countless places by
iails OF rocks. He sought out the
chairman OF the committee that EN-
ployed him and silently delivered to
him this statement: Mileage in look.

wifs's Apple Pie the Direct Cause Of
Tragedy.

There was = tragedy out at the
home Of the Lorings the other day.
The Lorings were married q little
over a year ago. In the first week
after their return from the wedding
trip to the little fiat which they had
SO much fun in furnishing Mrs. Lor.
ing offered as dinner delicacy her
first apple pie. He tried the pie, but
was not equal to the task of eating
any OF 1t, and Of course she wanted
to know why.
my dear, never eat pie," ex.
planned Loring. Il thought would try
this just out Of compliment to you,
but can't finish it. Besides, l am
certain it will make me ILL"
1t was done with such skill that
she put her arm lovingly about him
and called him dear old thing"
just for trying to eat it.
Now If there was any time at which
Loring was at peace with the world it
was when he was in front of a mans
size slab Of pie. But for a year he
missed that pleasure in his new home.
The other night Loring had as
guest chum of boarding house days,
and the latter was telling Of Loring's
table feats.
Did you ever in all your life," he
asked the young wife, "see a man who
could eat so much pie as he CAM"

Wood az Food.

usually forms q part Of the evening

At recent grand diplomatic dinner
the decorations Of the dining-room and
the table were roses-a veritable show
er OF them! Bengal roses, Dijon roses,
and the roses OF France. They strewed
the table; they hung in baskets; they
wreathed the candelabra; they trailed
from the dinner cart, and sprays Of
them marked the places of the guests
inclosing the name cards written in

INDICTMENT OF MODERN DRESS.
Mems Wearing Apparel a Survival Of
Other Days.

Why does the being we call
gentleman" wear around his neck a
band Of spotless whiteness and un-
sssrsbfe stfnness, 1t his wrists similar
instruments Of torture, and before his
chest a rigidly starched linen plate?
asks the Atlantic Monthly. No one
outside OF madhouse would call
these articles Of apparel agreeable.
There is for the custom no reason at
all drawn from comfort, hygiene, or
usefulness. There is, however, the
ghost Of dead reason. Once upon a
time a gentleman" was presumed to
do no work, and he dressed to show
this, by putting on these visible signs
that he never soiled his hands, sweat
ed his neck, or bent his noble back.
1t matters not that we no longer be-
lieve in this definition of gentleman:
We did believe it once; its ghost rules
on. No man is bold enough to appear
In society without this impossible
harness. Only some one who wishes
to propose as a mild lunatic dares
rebel. Addison said that the man who
would clothe himself according to
common sense would find himself in
jail within week.
