Why He Objected.

A parson and leading parishioner
were not on good terms and there
was much speculation in the village
as to the reason.
IT'S all on account of parson re-
fusing to christen masters youngest
child" the housemaid confded to her
friend of the busting brush at the
house across the way, Master want
ed her to be named Dora RUBY Inez
North Kathleen, but the parson
wouldn't do it,"
1T was like parsons cheek" re-
piled her friend, "even if he was asked
to give the child a hundred names"
"Oh, II wasn't the number of names
which bothered him. returned the
servant. He objected to the initials,

Beer, and the girls initials are D. r.

party to her having to sign herself

She is committing moral suicide. a

My dear Lizette. any young woman

is no aristocracy OF place that will

be the custom in some countries, but
it will never be a custom here with

Of which were filed with the rarest
books and manuscripts.

said. II am longing for wisdom"
He then entered a room in which a
beautiful woman was resting on a di-

violently, but he said:

and the singing ceased. There was
deep silence. He bowed his head and

Of the highest truth. II win, neverthe-

heart has shown you the right way.
And now, nv son, follow me. You shall
