A Boating Dinner.

This dinner was given by q coterie
of four couples who had passed a great
part of the summer together yachting
on the great lakes. The occasion was
In the nature of little farewell to the
one they called Commodore" The
table was lovely and had for the CEN

who concocted q circle about three
feet In circumference. which was sur
rounded with a border of ferns, vines
and pond lilies. In the water two
sail boats and toy launch foated as
natural as life. manned by cute doll
sailors. To add to the festive appear
ance there was huge Japanese UNI
brella over the table, from which
small lanterns hung from every rib:
they were lighted by electric lamps
AT each place there was a tiny canoe,
with q very small Jap lantern at the
bow. The name of the guest was let
tered on the side. Wee paddles paint
ed white were stacked bayonet fashion
at each place and held a small pail of
bon-bons. The name nag of the boats
were around the room with the Union
Jack and the Stars and Stripes. The
guests were asked to come In fannels
and It was Just the jolliest kind OF a
time. The menu was as nautical as the
market could afford. beginning with
oysters. fish. lobster salad, etc

A Pillow Shower.

This was not given for bride. but
for two girls who were going away
to school To furnish their joint sit

girls who gave 1t. The result was q
fine collection of useful and ornamen-
tai pillows or cushions. from those for
the couch to dainty CONNECTIONS of dot
ted swiss and ribbon for the dressing
table. There were also cushions filled
with pins of all sizes and with needles.
There were denim cushions large
enough to sit on when placed on the
floor, and what girl does not adore sit
ting on the floor in front Of the fire
and dream long. happy dreams of the
days that are yet to come? A bride
elect who heard Of the affair said she
thought such downpour would be
very acceptable. SO the readers who
have been asking for something new
In the way of showers may adapt this

Among the late Bishop Foss' anee-
dotes about prayer" said a Philadel.

cerning a very original Norristown
preacher.
This preacher, in the course of
long prayer one Sunday night, recount
ed the many misfortunes and evils that
had befallen him in the course of his
long life. Then, signing heavily, he
prayed:
Thou hast tried me with afflictien,
with bereavement, and with sorrow Of
many kinds. If thou are obliged to try
me again, Lord, try me with the bur'
den of wealth."

She had never adjured him in that

Eagerly she opened the silver box
and took thence the tiny implements.
Fortunately they were in the heart OF
the dry season. To strike a spark
was easy, to communicate it to the tin
der-like brushwood was easier still. In
a moment, catching the infammable
wood dried out by the tropic sun, the
flames roared through the great mass.
The cliff or peak at the top of the is
land made a background for the flame,
and soon a pillar of fire 20 or 80 feet
high leaped and curled up into the
still air of the morning.

they were sheltered from the fierce
heat of the fire. From where they
stood they could see the ship.

One Sacrifice Thomas 3. Reed Might
Have Made for the Freedom
Of Cuba.

Maj. F. A. Kendall, who was
classmate of the late Thomas B.
Reed and fellow member of the boat
crew at Bowdoin college, told this
hitherto unpublished bon mot by that
famous wit:
Reed never forgave Senator Red
field Proctor for delivering the Yer
mont delegation to Mckinley at the
national convention in 1895 when the
Ohio man was nominated fo1 presi-
dent. All the other New England
states held out for Reed and he felt
that except for Proctor's he might
have had a chance for the nomination.
Maj. Kendall met Reed in New
York at the time of the Spanish-Amer-
ican war, which the latter felt to be
one Of the great diplomatic mistakes
of all tins. They started to discuss
that topic.
"It's simply outrageous" declared

TO Make Table Cloths Last.

Table linen is expensive. 1t costs
more today than it did five years ago,
When it begins to wear in holes, to
come from the wash with worn spots
that tell how soon 1t will be no good,
no wonder the housewife despairs.
Cheap, common soaps full of caustics
that eat the linen are greatly to blame.
Easy Task laundry soap is an enemy
to dirt and stains and a friend to the
table linen. Get two five cent cakes;
try it, and If it does not surprise and
satisfy you the makers will return
your money.

sand word story Of the Presidents re-
ception and speech at the convention
hall was IN Chicago, indianapolis,
Springfield, TerTe Haute and every
other point in the Middle West to
which the automatic system, extends.
With it went a special message of
greeting to the farmers of America
given by Mr.. Taft for transmission
over the automatic lines.
The feat was interesting, as demon
strating the possibilities of the auto
matte system in connection with rapid
press work. In one minute from its
start, the 1000 word story was in the
cities named, complete. From half to
full hour later the press association
reports sent by hand telegraphy be-
gan to come along.
This achievement fulfills the claims
made for the Telepost recently by
Professor Roymn Hitchcock, former
Curator Of the Department Of Science
and Industries of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Testifying before a committee
of the N. Y. Legislature he said Peary's
5000 word story Of his North Pole
Discovery could have been sent from
Labrador to the New York Times in
ten minutes by this system instead Of
the three days it consumed in being
transmitted by hand.
The Telepost transmits from 1000 to
1000 words a minute, doing over any
one wire, the same volume of business
done over 65 wires operated by the
Morse hand method of transmission,
still largely used throughout the coun-
try.
In the States where the system Is
commercially operating, it is effecting
a revolution with its rates of quarter,
half, and one cent a word regardless
Of time or distance.
Important extensions of the Tele-
post, it was said today on good author
ity, will be opened shortly between
Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit, To-
ledo, Cleveland, Louisville, and other
cities in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky. The action last week Of

A freak of fashion, which, however,
must be regarded as phase which
will soon pass, is to have the sleeves

Lewis held his breath for fear of being heard and bent his starting eyes on the figure In the hall. As soon as the armor had been carefully adjusted the knight strode toward the hall door and pretty soon had passed outside. And then Lewis heard the sound of horses hoofs gal lopng down the broad graveled drive. His heart was beating high. He now had proof that he had seen his ancestor en- ter and don the armor. and for further proof the place where the armor had been was vacant "Til run and call Percy and show him." said Lewis. Then.
 rising, he stumbled and fell! And lol he opened his eyes to find he had been asleep and dreaming. He was on the top step of the stairs, and could see from there the suit of Sir Lewis Percy's ar- nor still in its place in the hall below! His disappointment was great, and with a sensation of some wrong having been done him, he crept of to bed. And on the next morning he refused to talk about the suit of Sir Percy's armor, and told nis little sister that he did not be-
