DONT,S FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't initiate the saints who never
believe in snow shovels until summer.
Don't forget that you cannot fail to
increase your happiness by giving it
out.
Don't forget that the brotherhood Of
man will not come by turning all
into a sisterhood
Don't imagine you are praying for
peace when you are but protesting
against punishment
Don't fail to learn that the pleas
ures of youth are often sinful to those
who have lost them.
Don't hesitate to publish the fact
that few lawyers would be needed If
men would hate sin as they hate the
Jail.
Don't fail to observe that ones
chance of being heard is sometimes in
inverse proportion to his fondness for
being heard
Don't fail to note the difference be-
tween hope as to what you can make
out of a man and faith as to what you
can make of him.

Mourners in Red.

There can be no doubt that in the
dark and part of the middle ages red
and not black was the favorite mourn
ing color throughout Europe. Even
down to the end of the fifteenth CEN
fury the change from blood red to
black was not complete, though black
cloaks were worn over red clothing.
In Abyssinia the mourning color is a
reddish brown. In Turkey it is violet,
a color closely allied to red It is a
curious fact that among the Maoris Of
New Zealand red is the hue of sorrow.
In earlier times mourners daubed their
bodies with red juices when they fol-
lowed a chief to his grave, and even
the resting places of the bodies were
also colored red.

Natalie and Tom had been chums
always. And Tom had always been
3ust an ordinary boy, unnoticeably or
binary looking, and with no flashes of
brilliance to compensate for his looks.
His devotion to Natalie was his chief
charm. But he did not get excited
about it.
Moreover, he did not appear con-
scious that it was extraordinary that
Natalie seemed completely satisfied
with him. He didn't know any reason
why she shouldn't like him. They had
grown up together, Tom having the
run of the house, her father being so
used to seeing him about and having
him under foot that he had not real
lied Tom was no longer a bog. Of
course, being her father he Lever
would realize that Natalie also had
grown up.
Mrs Flicker and other women did
what they could to give Natalie a
chance, as they called It, They invited
her to dinner and artfully asked eligi
bic young men at the same time. They
called her my dear" and lectured her
on making the best of ones opportuni
ties and the awfulness Of matrimonial
mistakes.
With his salary-or lack of 1t, rath
sr-Tom could not spend much money

almost wept when she considered Nat
allie in the glory of her willow-plume6
hat and $3.50 velvet suit going to g

"She's just wasting herself and shell

Flicker. eff she'd only take an inter
est In some one else! But she doesnt
seem to be amused by another man or
earth! 1 don't wonder Tom is crazy
about her, but what she can see in hin
is beyond mel"
Therefore when one day Natalie con
fded to Mrs. Flicker that she and Ton
were at outs that good womans hear
aeaped for gladness.
Hes far too particular" Natalie
said. "I wouldn't stand 1t the othel

nru Goods hv the Pound.

"Dry Goods Store. Dry Goods Sold
by the Yard or Pound" is the sign that
appears in an Italian store window in
Van Brunt street, Brooklyn. The sign
is unusual, but the sale of dry goods by
the pound is not. Much of the stock of
many stores kept by foreigners consists
of remnants secured from factories.
The latter do not take the trouble 10
measure pieces under five yards, but sell
1t by weight. The small stores find it
convenient to retail it on the same basis.
But the proprietors of the Van Brunt
street store has an advertising instinct.
Hence the sign in her show widow.

Kindness TO Himself

A stout woman entered crowded car
and took hold of a strap directly in front
of a man seated in the corner As the
car started she lunged against his news
paper and trod heavily on his toes As
soon as he could extricate himself he
rose and offered her his seat.
'You are very kind, sir" she said,

Irving Lawrence was exactly the sort
of Young man Mrs. Flicker would have
picked out for Natalie. He was hand
some and clever and prosperous and
nobody knew where he would stop now
that he had begun to climb in bust
ness. Natalie found him decidedly
agreeable. He certainly was contrast
to Tom, especially now that she was
provoked at the latter.
Three months later Natalie's bewil-
dered father was issuing wedding invi-
tations for the marriage of his daugh-
ter and Irving Lawrence. That young
man had fallen a victim to Natalie at
first sight and his wooing had been
tempestuous. Tom Arnold simply had
been swept off the boards.

told her, "that your childish infatua-
ton for Tom died natural death.
You would have been crazy to marry
him. You see it now, don't your"
Natalie turned her big solitaire
around on her finger. II suppose So,
she said. I'll haven't seen Tom for
weeks"
"Well, you don't want to see him, y
said Mrs Flicker sharply I'm so
glad you're going to Europe on your
wedding trip!"
It was just four days before her we'd
ding day that Natalie and Tom Arnold
eloped and were married. She had met
him on the street and discovered in
five minutes talk that she hadn't real
ly fallen in love with Irving Lawrence
at all. OF course, she was very sorry
to treat Irving so and apologized pref
tily in the letter she wrote him.
Mrs. Flicker hasn't got over it yet.
Every time she goes to see Natalie In
her four-room fiat, where she is doing
her own work and seems supremacy
happy, she comes away madden than
before.

to do things for some girls!' Mrs

So City Defrays Expenses of
Wounded Sailor.
STABBED BY ANOTHER TAR
Trouble Occurred Outside Of Limits,
But Refusal of County Authorities
to Act left Unfortunate Upon
city's Hands.

Owing to the fact that the country
authorities refused TO provide for the
man or 10 defray any part of his eX-
lenses, the city of Newport News
must pay hospital bill o. s67 for
Joseph Donaldson, the sailor, who was
stabbed by Charles Anderson, another
sailor, on the night of March II.
The cutting occurred near Chesapeake
& Ohio pier No. just outside of the
city limits. Donaldson was seriously
wounded and the local police were
called to the scene. They moved
the man TO the police station and
pr ]. w. Ayler, the city physician,
was hurriedly summoned.
Because of the mans condition, DIR.
Ayler had him moved TO the st.
Francis hospital for treatment. On
the next day the county authorities
were notified and asked to provide
for the sailor Chief Madison refused
10 act, telling Or. Ayler 10 either send
the man TO the Sailors Rest or the
Marine hospital at Norfolk. Sheriff
Curtis. of Warwick county. was APP
pealed to, but he also declined to
have anything to do with the matter.
Later the chairman of the board of
supervisors of the county was noti-
fed, but he also would not act.
Bill Presented to Committee.
In the meantime. Donaldson was
lying at the ST Francis hospital in a
critical condition The city had no
place to care for the man and ne
was too i'll to be taken to the hospital
department of the city jail. There
was nothing to do but to let him re-
main at the hospital and it was several
months before he was well enough 10
leave. The hospital bill amounted TO
SCI and it was presented to the coun-
Gil committee on almshouse and poor
last night. DIR. Ayler explained about
the efforts he had made 10 get the
county authorities to provide for the
man and TO get the supervisors TO pay
the bill. The committee will send the
bill to the finance committee for pay
ment.
Report for Month.
Supt. Wright. of the almshOuse,
made his regular monthly report to
the committee last night for the
month of June. The report shows
that on June l there were four in
mates of the almhouse and that two
were admitted during that month.
Two died during the month, leaving
four inmates on July 1. The total
cost of maintaining the almshouse for
June was s201. including the salaries
of the superintendent and his help
ers and the grocery bill
The committee passed upon num-
Der of bills last night and sent them
on to the finance committee. That
committee will hold a special meeting
this week to pass upon the bills of
the various departments of the city
for the past two months.
