As to d.. Quimby being the origina-
tor Of Christian Science, it does not
really matter who introduces a benef-
cent ethical system, 60 long as we have
it, demonstrably. in our lives. But,
whoever is the founder, it is quite i'm
portant that we identify him, or her,
that nothing detrimental to the system
can be interpolated as having been ad-
vocated by the supposed originator, and
therefore having claim to genuineness.
Mrs. Eddy realized the Importance OF
establishing Christian Science as dis
covered and founded by herself, and I
believe those who have studied her
claims and the Quimby claims. with an
unbiased motive have conceded her the
claims. And more than this, those who
knew her best, knew that her unselfsh
goodness and .truthfulness placed her
far above falsifcation or prevarication.
You, as child knew him and testify
that he was simply 'laying- on Of
hands, quack. Have you known that
Mrs. Eddy and her followers have al
ways claimed that this laying on OF
hands, (the mesmerism of manipulation)
was positive proof that DR.. Quimby's
method was not Christian Science; and
that those who have tried to establish
DR.. Quimby as the originator of Chris
tian Science deny the laying on. OF. hands.
In the controversy of some years ago
your testimony would have aided the
Christian Scientists claim that DR..
Quimby was mesmerist. Mrs. Eddy
always said that he was good man,
but he expressed no inkling of what she
discovered years afterwards.
I know something of Christian
Science by reason of study and practice
and can assure you that it is neither
mesmerlsm, hypnotism, mental sugges-
tion, nor indeed any sort. nor degree of
the influence of one human mind over
another. Human influence is unqual-
ifiedly condemned by the teachings of
Christian Science. A prayerful ac-
knowledgement of the presence and love
of God, casting out evil and disease, is
the only testiment which has been, or
can be, cleaned from the teachings OF
Christian Science; and you will find
that the testimony Of every genuine
Christian Scientist.
Christian Scienca teaches that mes
merism or hypnotism is most purnicious
both for theo one who practices it and
the one who is pfactised upon; that
even when it seems to bring good re.
suits that the last state Of that man is
worse than the first As fsr as have

ONE REASON FOR STATUES

Inquisitive Child.

A Washington dentist praised en-
Enthusiastically the respect paid to the
memory of Horace Wells by the
French government. 1t has erected
recently statue of him in the Place
des Etats Unis, in Paris, and the un-
yelling ceremony in March was at

from all over the world
Professor Wells," said the dentist,

a pioneer in the use of nitrous oxide
gas in dental operations to prevent
pain, and for his discoveries in anaes-
thesia he may be regarded as a bene-
factor to mankind.
wells has been dead SO years, and
France is the first-a tardy first-to
acknowledge the importance Of his
discovery, and raise a tribute to his
almost forgotten memory. This case
reminds me of conversation between
little boy and his father.
"Why are statues erected to IA
nous men, father?" said the child.

THIS story has been floating around
the house in Washington. Nobody
offers to father it:
There was once a fiddler who was
very precise in his statements. He
wasn't much of fiddler, and he knew
it. 1t was not in his nature to claim
talent which he did not possess. One
night there was dance. The commit
tee couldn't get the regular music. So
they appealed to this fiddler. He said
he sure would play for them.
Are you a f1rst-class fiddler?" they
asked him.
NO" he admitted.
Are you second-class fiddler?"
We'll, nn. I'm not even + second.
class fiddler"
We'll, for gracious sakes, what are
you, then? Are you a fiddler at ALP
I'm not first-ciass fiddler" said
the honest musician. I'm not a sec
ond-class fiddler even. But 1 stand
darned high in the third class!"
They took him on.

a tame go at that, although largely

Nelson and his manager appeared
before the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce to op-
pose the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Walter l. Smith of Iowa to pro-
hlblt the exhibition of moving pic
lures OF prize fights and the publica-
ton by newspapers of the details of
pugilistic encounters. After Nelson
had spoken his piece he left the COM
mittee room and was hurrying down
the corridor toward the exit when
Representative Wagner of Pennsylva-
MIA came chasing after him.
Hey, Nelson" he cried. "the speak
er wants to see you"
You're on" said Nelson, and he
made tracks for the speakers office.
He got warm greeting. Uncle Joe
shook his hands, felt his biceps and
slapped him on the back. The exam

A Progressive Word Game.

So many people object to cards but
still wish to entertain with a progress
sive game. l think this will suit al
most every one, and 1t is a real ex-
citing play, too. Get a box of ana
grams, costing 25 cents; several sets
may be needed If the party is large
one. Choose partners and tables as
for any progressive game, then the
hostess places a small heap of letters
in the center of each table, telling the
players that their words are to be
names of books; when the bell rings
the first lady at each table turns let
ter and places it face up so that all
four players see 1t at once. The first
person who names book beginning
with the letter claims that word and
takes 1t to her side; the next player
turns a letter etc. When the bell
calls halt" the partners at each
table add up their combined words
and the winners Cor losers as the
hostess decides) progress to the next
table. At the next table they have
another word, say cities" Each
table makes different class of words.
The names of flowers, birds, famous
people, mountains, rivers, colleges,
Bible characters, etc. Prizes are
awarded as for any progressive game,
and refreshments are served at small
tables.

A Farewell Shower.

This month brings numerous fare
wells, along with it's gaieties; for COM
mencements and weddings usually
mean partings. A favorite teacher 60
ing abroad for her vacation was the
recipient of such a novel shower
that 1 could scarcely wait to tell the
department readers all about it.
OF course, on short vacation jour
neys baggage is to be considered, and
her friends did not wish to cause in
convenience by their kindly atten-
tons, so one of the girls said: Lets
give her Europe shower and they
did. There were envelopes, great
and small; some contained safety
pins, some hair pins; wee one held
court plaster. another a layer of alb
sorbent cotton; one clippings of jokes,
several were steamed letters. One
bulky affair had chewing gum and
fruit tablets, the latter wrapped III
waxed paper like caramels. Oh, yes,
one neatly tied envelope had needles
and various threads wound on card
board, with card containing various
sized buttons. The envelopes were all
placed In denim bag to hang on her
steamer chair.

The Riuht Gloves.

Gloves are an all-important acces-
sorry to the costume, and the wrong
style will ruin the effect of a smart
and well-chosen gown. With either
black or colored tailored gowns neu-
tral-toned gloves are correct. Arrow
head backs are smartest in fancy
gloves, and, likewise, the expensive
kind. The fastening Is one heavy but
ton, which is often an ornamental fea-
ture. White glace gloves are almost
universally accepted for evening wear,

the place of white

Stood High as a Third Class Fiddler

Walter Evans, correspondent of the
Kansas City Star, knows probably
more about Kansas politics than any
man alive. He thinks Kansas is one
of the greatest states in the Union.
Speaking of flddling," he said, "I
knew four brothers once that went to
Kansas and took up four adjacent
quarter sections. Each built a mud
house on a corner of each section, so
that their homes were close together.
Then they proceeded to plant all four
sections with wheat. They didn't get
a grain that year, because of the
drouth.
They were up against 1t hard when
winter came. So two of the brothers
went to Mexico and worked in the
mines. The other two stayed behind.
the miners sent them money to live
on. Next spring the two brothers re-
naming again sowed wheat. They
had a bumper crop, and the miners
came home. Wheat was way up
then. and the brothers made a barrel
of money. Now they own land in
Kansas till you can't rest They don't
live ia mud houses any more.
Talk about fiddling; one of these
brothers, even after the bumper crop,
would ride to dance at night, play
till morning and then ride home and
go to work. He got dollar and a half
for his playing. He didn't stand very
high in the third class, either"

New evening slippers, especially for
young girls, show embroidery on the
toe of pink rosebuds. The idea is
quite pretty, and the slippers go very
well with girlish gowns of white tulle
and chiffon, which have pink roses
at the belt and on the sleeves.
Those who like the effect and are
not able to get it in embroidery can
make a pink rosebud of satin and ap-
ply it to the slipper instead of a
buckle, mounting 1t in rosette or
