An Age Of Wonders

Verify this is an an age Of won
ders. The wireless telegraph, the
telephone, the phonograph and the
eroplane have one by one occu-
pied our awe stricken attention, but,
sh- this is the latest Rumor has
it that Lou Simmons, the well
known, and handsome young groc'
er of St. Johns-and a bachelor,
too. girls-has surrendered to the
charms of the fairer sex, in this
case a charming Independence girl,
and we understand that the fateful
event is to take place in about four
weeks.
While this announcement comes
as somewhat of a surprise to the
people of St. Johns, especially the
feminine, still it will relieve the
anxiety of Louis immediate neigh
bors, who have been wondering at
the late hours the young merchant
has been keeping during the past
few weeks. xxx

Prof. Boyd suggested ladies' ex.
hibit at the sweet pea carnival, de-
clared the dumping ground near the
city dock a nuisance aud advised
taking the matter up with the city
council. lie also thought II a good
idea to appoint a committee TO ar
range about planting Of peas and
their culture, suggesting ELK colors
Of white and purple, and thought Il
would be a good idea to specialize
on these colors. On motion OF
Mrs. Valentine the secretary was
directed TO address a communica-
ton to the city council asking Il to
remove the pile of rubbish near the
city dock. Mr.. crawshaw sug.
gested that Arbor Day be observed
aud that the efforts OF the ladies
might well be directed toward Sc
curing a public park, The follow.
ing committee was appointed TO
work In conjunction with the club
committee toward making the
sweet pea carnival an unqualified
success: Mrs. Valentine, Mrs. Nc.
Kinney. Mrs. Rice, Mrs. Benson,
Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Beam. II was
decided to furnish seeds free to all
who would use them, to be paid for
out Of the auxiliary fund. Mrs.
Babcock and Mrs, Hodgkins were
appointed TO look after the buying
and distribution. Mrs. Babcock,
who is an expert in sweet pea cul-
ture, gave an interesting talk on
pea culture, stating that the best
way she had found to get quick re-
suits was to soak the seeds in warm
water and then wrap them in flan-
mel, that they will then sprout in
about four days. A number of new
members were added TO the enroll
ment. President, Mrs. Muck, pre-
sided with dignity and grace.

when Thy holy word is preached in

Speak Thou comfortably to Thy peO-
pie, o Lord, through the lips of Thy
ministering servant, and let Thy word
be as the fire and as the. hammer to
hardened hearts. When Thy holy Ordi-
nances are here admin s;tered, may

Lords table, they shall indeed feed by
faith, on the body and blood of Christ.
Here, let God be worshiped in spirit

house be made a house of merchandiSe
Here, when Thy people come to offer
their gifts upon the altar. let them
consider Him, for our sake. because

FIVE MONTHS ON TRIP
Barge Lands After PeriIous Ocean
Trip.

New York. Nov. 11.-After battling
for five months on a seemingly ship
less ocean, Captain Edwin L. Smith of
London has arrived at Trinidad with
the So foot oil barge WoodhaH from
English shipyards, according to word
dared to pilot the little barge on her
perilous trip, which was proposed to
save the expense of towing, where
dozen other London shippers feared to
try it. 1t was expected that the trip
could be made in forty days. but she
met adverse weather and was the sport
of the seas. In the meantime the boat
had been given up as lost.
According to the report received
here, the captain found an American
stowaway on board who helped deplete
the meager supply of provisions. Dur
ing the last few days the crew had to
live on a biscuit and half a cup of
fresh water day as they were unable
to sight ship to aid them.
