ESTABLISHED 1875
tors SOBER brown pew.


The last bell was ringing, the choir
was rustling the pages Of their books
and the organ was growing low
voluntary when there was the insist
emit blast of horn and then the soft
chug-chug of a motorcar. 1t stopped
at the church, the door opened, and
then Redbush drew a long breath as
Daniel Merton walked up the aisle
and was ushered into DR.. Longs seat
For several moments he knelt in
prayer, and then he arose and looked
about him as the service began.
He saw a strange church and strange
people. He had borne in his minds
eye for years past quaint old church
with warm red carpet and many pews,
each furnished according to its own
er's fancy There was nothing here to
remind him Of the past and his boy
hood save the seat across the aisle.
There in the old Merton pew, with
its ancient turkey carpeted floor and
fat hassocks, sat slender woman
with sweet serious face bent above
her book. That was what Daniel Mer-
ton saw in the old pew where he had
knelt when boy
The people of Redbush saw a tall,
thin man with a handsome face lined
with care, a man plainly dressed as
one of themselves, and those who had
known him when a boy traced in his
countenance a vague likeness to the
ambitious lad of twenty-five years be-
fore.
Then they saw him look about the
church with impassive face, which did
not change until it reached the old
Merton pew. They saw his keen eyes
rest on Serena Webb's face and on the
old time furnishings before they turn
ed to cast a sweeping glance up and
down the aisle at the brown carpet
Then they saw him leave his seat
and deliberately cross the aisle and
sit down beside Serena Webb. Serena
blushed and shared her hymn book
with him.
The service was long, for the good
people Of Redbush were very grateful
TO their beneficent townsman, and the
minister must express their gratitude
in sonOrous sentences that a million
aire might appreciate.
A year afterward Sarah Lee survey
ed the church in high disdain. Work
men had completed its restoration to
its original decorative scheme, and the
florists men were banking palms about
the chancel
ITO think Serena Webb should mar
ry Dan Merton after all-never saw
him In her life till that Thanksgiving
day." murmured Mrs. Long in Sarah's
ear.
THAT there old turkey carpet did
It," shifted Sarah Lee. Just to think
of him insisting that everybody must
carpet their own pew to suit them
selves! Even old Hulda Jones has
made her braided mat for hers. Red
bush is behind the times"
In the meantime Daniel Merton was
whispering to Serena in the garden Of
his old home at was the combine
ton of you and the old pew set In the
midst Of that hideously decorated
church-it was you, sweetheart, that
broke through this crust Of money
getting and made me again In heart
like the boy used to be-"
81 am so glad" murmured Serena
happily. "Let us always keep the old
turkey carpet, Dan. 1t carried you
back to your boyhood, It brought you
across the aisle to me, and it has car
ried us both to happiness. 1t is a
magic carpet, indeed"

No Lie After All.


They were telling fish stories, and
at last the tall, lank man on the crack
er barrel said:
II went down to the river this morn
ing, and, although the water was high
almost to a food, took ten foot
pike
"Stop therep exclaimed the fat man
with the corncob pipe. 'gTel us you
took an eight pound trout, and I'll
sit idly by, but ten foot pike-nev-
erI Ananias died for less than that"
'I took a ten foot pike pole" con-
tinued the unruffied TALL lank man on
the cracker barrel, land in less than
I've minutes hooked out fifteen foot
bass
"See herel See herel" yelled the
man who owned the grocery. you'll
have to go way from here to finish
that lie. hain't got no lightnin' rod
on this store yit."
81 hooked out fifteen foot bass

''and l want to ask how much you
think / kin git for it."

A great memory does not make a
philosopher any more than diction-
airy can be called a grammar. There
are men who embrace in their minds
vast multitude Of ideas, but with
little sensibility about their real rela-
tons toward each other. These may
be antiquarians, annalists, naturalists;
they may be learned in the law; they
may be versed In statistics; they are
most useful in their own place.
should shrink from speaking disre-
specially Of them. Still, there is moth
ing in such attachments to guarantee
the absence of narrowness Of mind.
If they are nothing more than well
read men or men of information they
have not what specially deserves the
name Of culture of mind or fulfllls the
type of liberal observation-disclosures.

VINO ola not believe In people because
| he had never known much about them
and who condemned education because
he had none of it himself People were
wicked, and to be able to read was to
find things in newspapers that were
lies. So Bet Ann had never learned
her letters.
But a week with the earnest, jolly,
delightful party Of delegates had CIV
en- a new expression to fuckers eyes.
When the sixth day brought a snow
plow putting through the drifts and the
party began to make preparations for
departure his face showed real regret.
Bet Ann was voicing her grief noisily.
We've had the best time Of our
lives" Tucker said as he hobbled to
the door to say goodby. "Mebbe I've
been mistook bout folks. There amt
none o. you wicked, an all them things
you read was real grand. I've been
thinkin' it over, an guess I'll move
down to the village an give Bet Ann a
chancet for schoolin'"
''That viii be nice for both of you,"
commended one Of the women hearth
lily. And be sure you let me know at
the address gave you. We will send
some books and other things to Bet
Ann and you. Now, goodby."
When they reached the train the only
discontinued one seemed to be the
storekeeper He muttered to himself
for awhile, then blurted out:
"Ye paid an outlandish price for
them turnips."
"Oh, don't known laughed Mr..
Ashley. I'VE are perfectly satisfied.
We were glad to pay well for them
and for the accommodation. And you
should remember Mr.. Tucker did not
really charge anything. 1t has been
a jolly week. The only drawback l can
think of is that we could not get to a
store to buy some more provisions.
IF I'd knowed things was to be paid
for 1 could "a let We have plenty" the
storekeeper grumbled.
But your store is too far away"
"Oh, I've got plenty right here on
the trainv' discontentedly. only bein'
delegates l thought mebbe ye'd have
to be took care of free. wisht Pa
But the look on Mr.. Ashley's face
suddenly silenced him, and he skunk
away to a seat by himself. And at
that moment came a series of jerks
and bumps which were preliminary to
getting the cars in motion; then the
train started.

The young man bent over the papers
for some minutes. When he looked
up his face was scornful.
''The note is a forgery, as even
tyro might see," he declared. 1T was
meant to be clever imitation, but the
little eccentricities of style were over

That evening the young lawyer sat
at the dinner table in Mrs. Fraser's
pleasant home. He was looking across
at Mollie

Not Aptlv Worded.

An absurdly worded statement Of a
fact which was not In itself remarka-
BILE recently tried the gravity Of the
listeners. It was on the occasion OF
the funeral of an elderly woman in a
New England town She had left an
old mother. nearly ninety years Of age.
and an only son who was well on to-
ward fifty.
The services were conducted by a
timid young clergyman recently settled
over the parish. After praying for
many and various things he said:
"And two we especially pray that
the Lord will comfort and sustain in
their loss and sorrow. One is the or
phan. who, although no longer young.
is an orphan still and must SO con-
tinue. The other is the mother, far
advanced in years. who has survived
her daughter, although considerably
her senior."-Y Youths Companion.

Attempting a Diagnosis.

Mrs. G. was overhauling lot Of old
clothes, and her little daughter Re-
becca, aged four was an interested
spectator. When one garment was
brought to light the little girl asked
what were the ''green speckles" on it.
Her mother explained. Some days
later a friend called whose little girl
was somewhat freckled. After their
departure Rebecca was thoughtful for
some time and then inquired, Mamma
was that little girls face mildewed?"

drowning when he was seventeen. His
body was washed out to sea and never

one may practice medicine who has
been convicted of crime. All physi-

General Frederick D.. Grant has
not only led the great procession
for temperance and law and order
at Chicago, but has since said that
he would give his body if he could
destroy the demon of strong drink.
In this he shows nobility Of char
acter and courage worthy of his
high position. This matter of the
destruction of hundreds of millions
of money, and hundreds of thou
sands of human lives, every year,
by this horrible liquor traffic is
such as to stir to their profoundest
depths the hearts of good and
great men. Here is what some OF
our State Governors have said re-
Gently: The Governor of Iowa:
"The less liquor sold, the better
morals" The Governor of Texas :
"The saving in court expenses
from the decrease in crime is be-
lieved to offset the loss of revenue
from closing saloons" Governor
Buck, of North Dakota: 1--WE have
had prohibition SO long in North
Dakota that in some counties there
are no jails." Governor Glenn, Of
North Carolina: 81 say here and
now that the last bridge is burned
behind me, and | stand squarely
with the great temperance force
to drive out this hideous monster
The Governor of Georgia: 81 will
attend no banquet during my term
of Office at which wine is served
Governor Folk, of Missouri: "The
Sunday closing of saloons has re-
duced Sunday crime go per cent
The Governor of Oklahoma: 81
will cost to enforce prohibition |
per cent. of what it will cost tc
punish crimes, keep orphans, pau
pers and criminals that the whisky
traffic creates. "-American Issue.

Prohibition in Maine.

Much of the news published in
some of the daily papers concern
ing prohibition in Maine, Georgia,
Tennessee and other States is, a
perversion of fact that should not
be allowed to affect public opin-
ion. We are told that prohibition
produces hypocrisy in society,
perjury in courts, low morals, ex-
cessive drinking, poverty, eco
nomic disturbances and corrupt
politicians "a terrible charge.
Maine is pointed to as an example
of a State degraded by prohibit
ton.
Recent articles published in
Harper's Weekly show that, in some
parts of Maine, those in office have
not endeavored to enforce the pro-
hibition laws, and consequently
there has been considerable liquor
consumed. The effect has been
anything but elevating in these
sections, but the State rs a whole
has enforced prohibition to a de-
gree sufficient to bring satisfa ctory
results, and the people are con-
WINGED that they do not want the
law repealed.
From the statements concerning
Maine, it would seem that tina
State was ready to abandon pro
hibition, and yet the resubmission
ists-that is, those seeking to hav'
the question again submitted t.
the people of Maine-were easil,
defeated in the last Legislature
The real reason why Maine has re
tanned it's prohibition law 10
fifty-one years is because the PEG
pie are convinced thatit is bene
ficial.-HerGld and P~resbyter.
