What He Ought to Get.

A popular London millionaire made
his vast fortune by his business abili-
ty. Thinking that, as he had been so
successful In trade and. finance, he
must also succeed in literature, he did
as others have done-wrote book of
travels. Having a proper pride in his
own work, he expected to receive
fairly good price from his publisher
therefor.
To his intense disgust, instead Of
Offering him comfortable check for
the copyright the publisher demanded
that he should pay him for the risk Of
Issuing the book. 1t was clear to him
that this was an attempt to take ad-
vantage Of his position as n rich man
without experience In literature. He
happened to be on friendly terms with
a well known journalist, and the hap.
by thought occurred to him to send
the manuscript to the great litterateur
and critic with businesslike inquiry,
"What do you think / should get for
this?"
The journalist was equal to the oc.
casion. After reading the manuscript
he returned 1t with the laconic answer
written across the top sheet, give

AMONG THE STEEPLES.

Usual services next Sunday in Pres
byterian church. The time for even
ing services is now Y. T.. S. e, Il. at
$50 and divine worship at 1870 for the
summer season, being half hour
later. Sunday School at ll:45, Junior
G. E. at 800, Prayer Meeting every
Thursday at 7:30. meeting for Bible
study every Tuesday evening at 500.
The Easter sunrise meeting brought
together a goodly number of Christian
Endeayors and Epworth Leaguers and
the services passed off very pleasantly
under the leadership OF Miss Agnes
Porter. The young men however
must have been out late the night be-
fore or planning to be the night fol-
lowing, for they were sadly in the
minority. Really, is it true, rs some
think, that our girls have the most
'glt up" TO them?
The Easter services held in the
Presbyterian church were success in
every way and largely attended. The
special exercises OF the Sunday School
were also very interesting. The
thanks OF the church and congrega-
tion are due to all who helped with
voice and training To make the day
one to be remembered. The annual
offering for foreign missions was
taken up as an Easter thankoffering.
Holy Communion was afterwards adj
ministered.
Easter exercises at the Methodist
church on Sabbath evening "drew u
crowd" Every seat was occupied
and nearly all the standing room and
many went away unable to find &C
commodation. But even those who
stood during the hour and more were
amply paid, for the exercises were Of
a high order, and for the most part
were by the children. Little effort
was made at decoration on account OF
the unfavorable weather, and yet a
few lilies and plants were arranged
before the platform. The committee
were especially indebted to Mr.. Gan
nett for a gift Of Easter lilies. A COL
lection amounting TO Sl2.34 was taken
for missions. This however included
the contents of the Easter eggs
brought in by the classes, Miss Ethel

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount OF
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DIR. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

haustless springs of the purest
water. The air is salubrious, the
scenery picturesque, the surround
ing hills sublime. For many years
the touch of industry was needed
to make this aSwitzerland of
America" more populous. This it
has recently received through the
realty companies, which have
bought and sold thousands of acres
of land. Many of st. Louis
wealthy men have bought homes
in the valley, and occupy them
during the spring and summer.
Every year more colonists are
added to the number, the result of
which is the hills are covered with
vineyards, the slopes with or
chards, and the valley with dairy
farms. In fact, no section of the
country offers superior advantages
for the location of the man of pleas
ure, or the intensive farmer, who
desires to cultivate his own tract
of land. Hidden in the recesses of
the Ozark Mountains, traversed by
transparent streams, and watered
by numerous springs, is the lovely
vale of Arcadia, and the pride OF
all is the great College of the
Ursulines, the second semester OF
which opened with a record of IS
students. The increase in the
number of Religious and students
~necessitated the building of a
larger chapel, the cornerstone OF
which was laid April %, 1903. The
plans were prepared by the able
architect, Brother Anselm, O. F.
M, who also had entire charge OF
the construction and furnishing.
The building is of cruciform de-
sign and measures 118 feet by 50
feet in width. 1t is Romanesque
in style and is built of the finest
quality of red pressed brick. The
main auditorium and gallery have
a seating capacity of 800. The
Romanesque affairs are of white
enamel, exquisitely gilded. Be-
sides the main altar, that of the
Blessed Virgin and st. Joseph.
there are two side chapels deoi-
Gated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and Our Lady of Sorrows. The
beautiful stained glass windows,
donated by friends of the Relig-
ious, we're made by the Emil Ere:
Art Glass Company of st. Louis
They are masterpieces of art, ane
are in perfect harmony with the
decorations. The painting of thu
chapel was executed by Bartoszel
and Hepfinger, and it is a mos
artistic piece of workmanship
The edifce represents, not only
the largest in Southeast Missouri
but also one of the most beautiful
in the West. 1t is a temple o
which the chaplain, the Religious
the students and friends may
Justly be proud"
The prelates and many of tn
visiting clergy came down Tues
day evening, accompanied by tn
military band from Jefferson Bar
racks. A concert was given t
the pupils of the Academy a

Chapel is in progress as we go t
