SECT MAY ALLOW
WOMEN TO PREACH
Changes Will Be Made in
Free Methodist Church.

Important changes probably will be
made in the discipline of the Free
Methodist church as the result of the
appointment of a committee for that
purpose at yesterdays session of the
general conference at the Evangelistic
Institute in Chicago.
One of the principal features to be
discussed will be the ordination of wo-
men to preach. Women have been adj
mitted to the Free Methodist colleges
and graduated in divinity courses, but
hitherto have not been ordained to fill
pulpits. 1t is also proposed that the
rules shall be changed so that more
laymen can be elected delegates to the
general conference to balance the min
isterial delegation which now has
superior voting power in the number
of bishops who attend.

The consumer Of the gin rickey,
who knew all there was to know about
gin rickeys, detected something wrong
about the taste Of the one he was
drinking. Study Of the matter told
him that, instead of lime juice, It was
favored with the juice Of the lemon.
But no! There, in the glass, uncom-
promisingfy green and genuine, was
half a lime.
Still, there was something wrong.
After taking two or three additional
sips he decided to speak about It to
the bartender.
Isn't there lemon juice in this rick
ey? he inquired.
The bartender realized that before
him was one who could not be bluffed.
There is," he confessed. shame

London Through the Ages.

1t is proposed to establish in the
British metropolis a useu to be
devoted to the exhibition OF relics
pertaining to the history Of London
from the earliest times of Its occupa-
ton by man. These times run back
much farther than most readers are
aware. The city that julius Caesar
found occupied a site which had been
inhabited for unnumbered thousands
OF years. 1t is o known that dur
ing Paleolithic and Neolithic times
the two great divisions of the stone
age-man dwelt on the site Of Lon
don, but 1t first became the settle
ment OF q community at the opening
OF the historic age, when 1t was a
stronghold of the Celts. The remains
OF its Roman period are the finest of
the kind in Great Britain. The Anglo.
Saxon and Danish periods are also
finely represented. and even later
periods, such as the Tudor, furnish
relics that have been buried by that
strange process Of superintendent
growth which makes the soil under
q great city resemble the fossilffer-
U strata Of geology.-Youth's Com

More Blonde Brides.

Blondes in Philadelphia have just
three times as many chances to be
married as have b%runettes, according
to the records kept at the license bu-
reau. During the last year the clerks
have kept careful tab on the COM
plexion Of women applicants for Ii
censes and Robert e. Furgeson, chief
clerk. announced that in 10000 OF IT,
600 cases where marriage licenses had
been issued, the brides had light hair.
The clerks in the divorce courts here
now have decided to keep a similar
record to ascertain whether blondes
or brunettes are the more peaceable.

sHEARED PUPPY's HOT COAT
Story About William B. Mckinley
That Reveals the Wealthy Con-

Although William B. Mckinley of
Illinois is almost the wealthiest mem

Those who know him at close range
tell many a story Of his kindly heart
and generous nature.
One hot day" rays q man associa-

I'VE vere at work in the office when
a little dog came sneaktng in to escape
the misery OF blistering sidewalks. A
worse specimen of tatterdemalion dog
I never saw. 1t was mud-stained and
owned a bushy, unkempt coat that
made hot weather a horror to it. Its
ears were ragged, and there was a
hunted, homeless look in Its pathetic
eyes. 1t turned these pathetic eyes on
Mckinley, who vas trying to catch up
with a hard days work. In a few min
utes he laid down his pen, left the
room and returned with a bowlful Of
water. I was called away. When I
came back I found the congressman
with d newspaper spread over his
knees, and upon 1t stood that dog. A

lions of dollars in coupons was shear

ing up with almost human gratitude in
it's pathetic eyes.

way.
Since that day Mckinley has had a
