Sadie's Last Resort,

Sadie, aged three, who had been
put to bed for an afternoon nap, felt
more inclined for play than sleep; but

pretext, had refused to return again.
Resentfully she thought Of baby
brother in the next room. At the
slightest sound from him some one
always hurried to the nursery. The
hext instant she slipped out Of bed
and opened the door of the adjoining
room.
A minute later both mother and
nurse, aroused by piercing walls,
rushed upstairs to see what was the
matter The baby, his little face
screwed into a knot lay in his crib,
exercising his lungs to their utmost
capacity. Beside him stood his small
sister.

Attorneys shrewdness Won.

Lawyers and court attaches heard
to-day new story about the late
Judge Gary. says the Chicago journal.
A prominent criminal lawyer had an
important case before tho venerable
jurist which he wanted to win. ran
the tale. Judge Gary's thrusts at
counsel and his droll jokes, however,
diverted the attention Of the Jurors
from the lawyer to the court The at
torney was desperate. He decided to
bring his talent" into play.
Judge Gary soon observed what
was going on and, hating the trial,
addressed the lawyer:
"Sir, are you chewing tobacco in
the courtroom and shooting at that
cuspidor? That. sir. is filthy habit
which no gentleman would indulge
in."
but your honor also is susceptible
to the habit replied the attorney,
land your honor is gentleman. Fur
thermore, can bring 500 witnesses
to testify that am gentleman"

jurist in his characteristic nasal

Spanish PoIIteness.

The Spanish grandee is about the
most polite man in the world. for he
has no business cares. Politeness and
cigarettes are his only business. San
Antonio, Tex. is the most charmingly
polite town upon this continent, yet
San Antonio is cosmopolitan city.
There are almost as many foreigners
as native southern gentlemen and it
is also a good business town; still. one
sees nothing but the softest, gentlest
manners and courtesy and the atten-
tions to ladies' are always beyond

REVIVAL MEETING CLOSED
But Special Revival Meeting VIII Be
Held This Evenings. S.
Pupils to Be Haptised.

The revival meetings at the Cairo
Baptits church closed last Sunday
night with a crowded house and much
interest in the congregation. Several
persons united with the church during
the day, and one brother was bap-
tlsed. Rev. Clarence Hodge who had
been conducting the meetings
preached with power. He left for his
home early Sunday morning.
1t is expected that the interest will
continue both in the Sunday school
and in the regular Sunday morning
and evening congregations. Indica
tions point to mere conversions and
additions to the church.
In addition to the regular Wednes-
day evening meeting, there will be
held a special revival service this
evening for the Sunday school, at
which time several pupils will be
baptised, and some converts are ex.
pected to be present to come into the
church. An interesting time is ex.
pected, and the community at large is
invited to be present.
Rev. c. S. Ohrum, pastor of the
church, will preach a suitable sermon,
specially adapted to those who have
become interested in leading a bette
life.

AN EXPLANATION FOR The

Why Electricity is Charged For Ac.

Because. First. The electric cur
rent required whenever customer

tared the moment the lamps are
turned on. and this fast makes it
necessary to have apparatus always

watts Of electricity a day, the one
who takes the : kllo-watts by the use
'of 20 lamps burning five hours should
have a better rate per kilo-watt than
the one who takes kil0-watts by the
use of 100 lamps burning one hour
Each customer uses the same amount
Of electricity. but one requires IN
vESTMENT for 100 lamps and the
other for 20 lamps only.
The two-rate system automatically
gives the best average rate per kilo
watt of electricity used to the Gus
