MARKED DECREASE

Charles F. Coffin. of Chicago, who
was clerk of Indiana Yearly Meeting
OF Friends many years ago, and who
attended the most recent session, writ
ing to this meeting says:
While at the clerks table, made a
careful estimate OF the average attend
ance of men on business days, as fol-
lows: 1873. 459; 1879. 500; 1880, $50:
1881, $40; 1883. $50. There were quite
as many women as men in attendance
1T was my privilege to attend In
diana Yearly meeting again in 1910.
did not make a careful count then,
but should thing the attendance of
both men and women was not larger
than that OF men alone in the above
account"
Western Yearly Meeting had some
thing OF a similar experience for
many years after it was first estab-
lished. The large house was filled TO
overlooking, and large portions of the
time the aisles were standing full OF
men. Recently. as understand. one
half of the house is quite sufficient to
accommodate them.

said the late King Edward just as he
was about to photographed.-"not

most magnificent funeral pageant IN
all history wends its course through
London and NinSsor. and Immediately
behind the gun carriage bearing the
coffin, crown and sceptre. may be
seen the mournful Caesar trotting
alongside of his attendant. It is a
strange scene-this solitary little dog
surrounded by all the pomp and pag-
eantry Of kings. princes, field-marshals
admirals. potentates. dignitaries and
ambassadors from everywhere. includ-
ing our own Col. Roosevelt. Every
markable distinctness in the Gennett
on Friday, December 18th. AS an in
dication of its Importance and perfec-
ton the Philadelphia Press says of it.:
For the first time in the history OF
moving pictures these scenes repro.
duce not only all the glory and glitter
Of this historic occasion, but such ad.
mirable judgment is exercised that the
audience feels 1t is rubbing elbows
with the mighty ones Of earth and be-
comes perfectly familiar with their
faces, carriage and mannerisms with.
out the discomfort Of being crushed
In the London throngs."
But the program includes other fea-
lures such as ride up the Eiffel
Tower: the eruption of Mt. Etna; the
fiords of Norway: a Japanese jubilee:
a marvellous track-laying machine: :
life on training ship; the geometre-
graph. etc.. which make the Lyman H.
Howe Travel Festival one Of the most
important booking OF the season.

Nothing shows more fully or
completely the yellow streak in a
man than to have him boast of
his conquest with woman. Last
week a fellow who had a bad
case of mouth dysentery was
called upon the carpet by the
county attorney and give his
choice between signing a state
that he had lied about a lady or
go to court and prove his state
ment. He signed the statement
and apologized to the lady and
her husband. We would not
care to cultivate the acquaint-
ance of any man or travel a days

slightly of any woman or boasts
of his conquests. Our obser-
vations lead US to believe that he
