They Didn't Meet

A minister in a small western town
surprised his audience one Sunday
by reading the following notice from
the pulpit:
"The regular session of the Donkey
club will be held as usual after the
service. Members will line up just
outside the door, make remarks and
stare at the ladies who pass, as is
their custom"
The club didn't meet that Sunday.
Was Willing TO Try II Again
Once when John d. Rockefeller
was playing golf, a negro lad crossed
the links. Mr.. Rockefeller had just
given the ball vigorous stroke, and
the lad received the missile squarely
on the head. It'll was heavy blow, but
it only stunned the boy little, and
after blinking his eyes for a moment
he was himself again.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who had rushed
up fearing that the boy had been
badly injured, was relieved to find
that he took it so calmly, and, pull
ing five-dollar bill from his pocket,
he gave it to the youngster as a salye
for his feelings.
The boy looked at the bill and
grinned with delight. Then he looked
at Mr.. Rockefeller and inquired:
When is yo' goin' t be playin'
agin?"
The Poetry of RaiIrOading

This awakened the slumbering

QUITE EASY TO MEND CHINA
II Damaged Article Is Of Value, Here
Are Some Ways by Which Il May
Be Made Good.

The breaking OF china is an every
day happening IN some households.
and unless the article broken is an or
nament Of some value no trouble is
taken to mend It. Many dishes. how
ever, may be quite well mended at
home, and a very efficient cement can
be made by mixing together into a
paste equal quantities Of whey Of milk
and vinegar, powdered quicklime and
the white Of an egg. The mixture
must be well beaten and warmed. Elk
pose the broken edges of the china to
heat before applying the cement A
very thin coating is sufficient, and the
Joint should be held firmly IN place I'M
I'll the cement has dried.
II the dish is only cracked It may be
prevented from falling to pieces by
painting the crack on the underside
with white paint. Cut a piece Of tape
the length OF the crack over one side
with white paint and lay 1t over the
crack. Press the tape down TIL per
fectly smooth. Set the dish aside for
two or three weeks, when the crack
will be perfectly firm.
Broken china may also be mended
with a paste made Of plaster of paris
and glue. Use the ordinary bottle Of
glue mixing n part Of the glue with
two Of water and adding the plaster Of
paris to It.
Ornaments that have ONE to pieces
may also be mended with white paint,
using the ordinary tubes required for
oil painting. Very little is required.
and after applying It to the broken
edges they should be closely held to-
gether for a little. then left for a few
hours to dry.

troubled him because OF the fact that
on that fateful morning many years

and stolen a quantity Of onions from
the Thorne garden, which was located
near the historic Seminary ridge. He
told Thorne that he desired, at this
late day to pay for the onions and
thus relieve his conscience.
Needless to say, his offer Of money
was refused, but the Thornes would

which marked the opening Of what
was to be a world-famed engagement
he had been detailed to assist In car

town frantic women hooked about him
and begged that he tell Of the battle.
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
days IN following the Confederate

When the house Of representatives
recently undertook to nam a commit
tee Of It's members to represent It at
the reunion Of the blue and gray at
Gettysburg It was found that not a
veteran OF the Civil war sat on the Re
publican side OF that body. The only
Union veterans In the house, three In
number, are all Democrats, End six
veterans Of the Confederate army also
sit on that side. In the senate. how
ever, there are six Confederate veter-
ans on the Democratic side and six
Union veterans on the Republican side.
AS indicating the passage Of time, 1t
is a remarkable fact that there are
today In congress more veterans Of
the Spanish-American war than Of the
Civil war. Nineteen members OF the
senate are veterans Of the war with
Spain. One member Of the house, who
has not Reen war service at all, served
FIVE years IN the signal corps Of the

The trouble begins Immediately after
the wedding when Jinny's scapegrace

ance of his new-foun6 brother-in-law to
extricate him from the consequences of
having taken unto himself a second wife

, first Upon the plea that it will break
the hearts of the family If the truth
Is known Geoffrey obtains from John the
promise that he will maintain absolute
secrecy, and the troubles begin. jimmy
learns John is in secret correspondence
with another woman and when she
charges him with it he offers no ex-
PLANTATION. Cumulative evidence seems
to justify her suspicious and goaded to
desperation she upbraids him. After a
scene in which she is apprised of the
truth by her brothers second wife, Aus
tin leaves her. In a fit of despondency
jimmy attempts suicide by asphyXiation
and is only saved by the timely return

the drama still continues.
.'Ben-Hur'' is made up of pure romance,

the most interesting of love stories. The
beauty of the scenic setting. the splen-

scenes, the gorgeous eastern garbing of
the characters and the fine performance
of the drama are concomitants OF the
Klaw & Erlanger production of the play.
Nothing more real in its Intensity than
the chariot race has ever been attempted
on the stage. When the foaming horses.
driven by Hur and Messala against one
another, come into view it makes a pic

of Ben-HLr lifts the strain, and the
crowds cheer.
There is the exquisite beauty Of the
