A Polish Marriaqe.

A Polish couple came before jus. tice of the peace to be married. The young man handed him the marriage license and the pair stood up before him.

 They did so, and the justice looked at the document, which authorized him to unite in marriage Zacharewiez Perczynski and Loekowarda Jeulinski.

The Wonderful Y. M. c. A.

In the past ten years no other re- ligious organization has received so much money as the Y. M. c. A. Mill lions have been raised for new build ings all over the land, and with no ap- parent strain. It's business-like admin istration of it's vast resources, its en- ergy in pushing it's work-in the cities and through the. railroad, army and navy branehes-and it's fine policy in following the armies in all recent wars, have created for it a worldwide enthusiasm. At the last banquet of the international committee, Senator Root affirmed that they had made their way by working with men more than by talking to them, saying: Come with us," not sGo do that" By their appeal to all classes of Chris tians, as we'll as to non-Christians they have kept out of doctrinal theol- ogy, and by their activity in good works they have escaped cant in religion. All interested in saving our boys and young men rejoice in their worldwide uccess.-Leslie's Weekly.

CLEAR-HEADED Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in large busi- ness house in one of our great West ern cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him:
 My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way:
 About three and a half years ago had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspep- sla, or rather, to speak more correctly. neuralgia O. the stomach. My cup of cheer had always been coffee or tea. but ] became convinced, after a time. that they aggravated my stomach trou- ble l happened to mention the mat ter to my grocer one day and he sug- gested that l give Postum a trial.
 Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not boiling it sufficient ly, and we did not like it much. This was, however, soon remedied, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage instead of drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trou- ble, l verify believe, for I am a we'll man today and have used no other remedy.
 My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co.'s branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee drinking days I was subject to nerv- ousness and the blues in addition to my sick spells. These have left me since began using Postum and can conscientiously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion."

Trouble Caused by Amateurs.

A great part of the trouble in the messages, even the messages of the most vital importance, is said in a re- cent word on the subject, "to be due to interruptions amateurs who insist on working their private stations at aii hours, regardless of the needs or the interests of endangered humanity. AS case In point, the Bremen, car ry1ng the usual large passenger list, was approaching the New England coast during the short time last year that the Nantucket Shoals lightship was out of commission. The steamer was calling to the lightship for infor- nation as to weather conditions and location, and her captain was much shocked and surprised to find that the reckoning as computed by the ships navigator was apparently in error.
 Information that was untrue also was given regarding the weather con- dftions. On reaching New York the matter was looked into and 1t was discovered that the lightship had been sunk week prior to the time that the messages were sent, and that the answer made to the Bremen was sent by Irresponsible and experimenting amateurs. Had not the captain of the steamship been over-confldent of his location he might have changed his course as result of the messages and wrecked his ship and lost it's hu- man fraiphf

Two modern statements of the doc urine of election neither of which would quite satisfy John Calvin or Jonathan Edwards, are given in the Congregationalist.

Ambassador Must Be Rich.

President Taft probably puts in aboAt one hour out of every A trying to determine on some man who has tho qualifications to make a good am- bassador to Great Britain and who also has money enough to allow him to keep up" the position of the chief American representative to the great foreign power
 It is known to the president of course. that there are many men in United States who would make ad- nirable ones have little or no money. The president said In a speech recent ly that he thought 1t was little less than a shame that it was impossible for any Americans except millionaires to occupy the most important diplo- matic posts.
 Some months ago MT. Taft offered the American embassy in Great Brit ain to Dr. Charles w Elliott, former president of Harvard college, a man of great learning and transcendant ability. Dr. Elliott had to decline the post. He did not have money enough to live up to the social station in life which it seems necessary that our chief representative at the Court of St. James ought to occupy There are other reasons, however, in addition to that of the lack of wealth which pre- vented the Harvard scholar from ac- cepting the presidents offer
 Salary Ridiculously inadequate.
 The pay of the ambassador to Great Britain Is s17.500 a year, not quite enough money to pay his house rent in case he attempts to do as his pre- decessors have done in the way of en- tertaining socially, and in the way of giving America proper building representation" fin the British capital. There are all sorts of social affairs in which the American ambassador to any foreign country must take part. More than this, he is compelled by the actual circumstances of the case to do great deal of entertaining. Other

n.-Representative Rob- erts of Massachusetts is trying to fix upon method by which the present troubles of the wireless telegraph op- orators may be prevented. MT.

Ocean Steamers Also Blamed.

Sometimes it is an ocean steamer that is to be blamed for interference with wireless telegraph messages Not long ago schooner was ashore some miles out of New York harbor and the crew was in dire danger. An effort was made by wireless to locate the revenue cutters in New York, but be- cause of the attitude of the wireless operator on the ocean steamer Der mudian, it was not possible to reach the revenue cutters direct, and the messages had to be relayed causing a delay of several hours. Afterward it developed that the Bermudian merely wished to report her location and the operator could have waited a short time just as well as not.
 The great trouble ordinarily Is caused by the use of high powered stations by amateurs and it seems that there is no means of preventing the indiscriminate use of the wireless even if it interferes with necessitous messages and sometimes puts human life in jeopardy. In every large city there are many of these stations and 1t Is said that in the city of Boston aloD@ there are 150 in operation.

wise, so narrow Is the view of the for eigners, his country would be held in contempt and would be relegated by the populace to a position below that of some half dozen picayune countries. not one of which is as big or powerful as many of the states in this great union
 The American ambassadors and the ministers to countries other than Great Britain are in the same position that the ambassador to the English speaking court finds himself A great deal is expected of them and the Unit ed States pays such small salaries that it Is necessary to dip into the private purse in order to meet the necessities of each case. Congress has taken eognizance of this situation time and again, in perfectly per functory way, however, and nothing ever has been done to bring relief. AS things stand at present the United States is obliged to send to foreign courts men whose only claim to dis tinction is that they have money. Men of approved diplomatic ability who have held minor positions abroad. in the consular and counselor agent service, have been and are still de- barred from seeking advancement to higher positions simply because they have no money. It is notorious in many of the countries in Europe that some of our consuls are men of far greater ability than are our ambassa- dprS

Cannot Move Congress.

Representative Longworth, who is a son-in-law of former President Roose- welt, has tried time and again to get a bill through congress appropriating money for the purchase of houses for our ministers and ambassadors in the capitals of European nations. If the ambassadors house rent was paid he could make shift on his $17,500 per year to support his position, although this amount of money would not come anywhere near paying the expenses of our ambassadors to Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy or Russia.

was whether the proprietor was re-

been ruined by the beer-boy splitting
pint Of ale into 1t, as 1t lay in a
chair At first sight 1t would seem
that the plaintiff had absolute right
on his side. There was no disputing
the fact that the hat had been spoiled
by the carelessness OF the defendants
servant. The restaurant keeper,
however, put another complexion on
the case by saying that 1t was the
customers own fault. Chairs were
not hat4pegs II the customer had
hung up his hat on the pegs pro-
vided for that purpose the accident
would never have happened. The

California statute which lays
down that In the case OF husband
and wife dying intestate the estate
shall pass to the heirs of the one who
died last. has been the cause Of one OF
the strangest cases which ever came
before a court OF law. II may be re-
membered that In 1909 a young San
Francisco couple--Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Fair---were killed In a motor
accident in France. Both were
wealthy. their combined fortune be-
ing estimated at $50, OO0. 900. The ac-
cident was an appalling one. The
car. travelling at great speed. swerved
from the road and struck tree. Both
the passengers were found dead, and
the driver unconscious and seriously
injured, When the case first came
! into court the law assumed that the
man, being the stronger, survived
the woman. and that, therefore, Mr.,
Fair died last. On this superstition
/ Mr.. Fairs heirs prepared to take pos
session OF the fortune. But the other
side brought from France the doctor
who had been first on the scene OF
the accident His evidence was to
| the effect that MIR. Fairs injuries
were OF so fearful q description that
his death was probably instantaneous,
and so the chances we're that Mrs
Fair had outlived him. This was the
! beginning OF a great lawsuit, one
which Judge after Judge failed e
grapple with. Eventually the matter
/ was compromised. but only after le-
gal expenses had run away with a
very large proportion OF the huge
sum involved
