CARRIED THIRD
QUART INSIDE
HIMSELF, MAYBE

The actions Of man, believed to
have come from a dry portion Of
the State, at the French street pas
senger station last evening, caused
considerable fun for occupants Of the
station who witnessed the affair.
The man in question had stopped
in Wilmington for time, and from
his condition, had fabricated his in
ternal machinery to a considerable
extent. He paid for the checking OF
his baggage, and with a quart of
liquor under his arm, his overcoat,
dress-suit case and several other
packages in his possession, a big
enough load for a sober man to get
away with, he started up the stair
way to the station platform.
He managed to get about half way
up when the bottle fell from under
his protecting arm and crashed to
the floor, the fluid spreading over the
cement floor This was rather un-
fortunate, but the stranger was undis-
mayed. He stacked his belongings
against the wall near the ticket Office
and sailed forth to get another bottle
He returned with il in due time, and
gathering up his other belongings,
again started up the stairway. For
the second time this elusive bottle
slipped from his grasp, and like It's
mate, fell with a crash TO the floor
This calamity almost overpowered the
visitor. and 10 add to his troubles. his
train came along and pulled out of the
station minus him, thus leaving hin
in the land of plenty lie re-checket
his belongings and left the station
like man who had decided TO lubri.
cate and do 1t properly.

roast chicken every Sunday, so that
wouldn't appeal.
Finally she decided on a chicken
pie, salad, mashed potatoes, French
peas and a lemon meringue pie, and
spent the greater part of the day
cooking.
The table did look very pretty at 6
O'Clock, when everything was pre-
pared.
Six o'clock passed by, but Johns
footsteps did not sound in the hall, so
Fanny took the chicken pie out of the
oven and laid it on the top of the
stove toward the back where it would
not burn. The peas she also put out
of harms way, but the mashed DO
tatoes could not be kept warm except
by burning them.
However, she decided not to lose
her temper, because it would spoil all
of her work to-greet John with a sour
cOuntenance.
Seven O'Clock and he had not come.
Fanny no longer felt angelic. She
was indignant
The pie smelled so good, and she
was so hungry. At last, as the half
hour chimed, she decided to wait no
longer, but eat her own meal.
1t was half past eight when John
came home. Not a sign of the dinner
was visible. The chicken pie and the
lemon meringCe pie had been put in
the pantry for Fanny's lunch the next
day, also the peas and what remained
of the salad

What's the use of talking? Only I

Fanny watched him deVour the
greater portion of the despised steak
while only a very small piece was left
for her, and she reflected on the wis
dom of having special meal the next
night, or not encouraging his whims.

Foreign Missions Conference Tuesday at
Garden City. Long Island. Enthusiastic
members of the laymen's missionary
movement are said not to be satisfied
with the figures of the official statistician.
The Christian world contributed last
year so, 404, 900. as against S25.SO0.0oo the
year before, a gain of 10000 in even
figures. The amount the United States
furnished is put at 81. SO. 600. nearly half
as against the rest of the world, and a
gain in this country of S2,6400Io over 1911.
But as a out 81 500. 900 of this gain went
to the Presbyterian Church alone from
the John S. Kennedy legacy, the actual
gain is much reduced.
II is sa that a committee of critics
of these figures will report others at the
coming conference, and that il has asked
home mission societies to include their
expenditures in Porto Rico, Hawaii, Cuba
and the Philippines on the ground that
work in those places is foreign mission
work Most home societies have declined
to do so. A difficulty that has appeared
is to determine what is foreign and what
home mission work.
According to figures usually regarded
as realistic, the United States leads the
world in foreign mission gifts, and has
the largest single society of foreign mis-
sions. -
As against our s14, 10000, Great Britain
save last year g, SIS, 600, and the continent
of Europe S3.7Z7,OO0. The largest single So
ciety is that of the Presbyterians North
of this country, with $2,S77,OO0, but this
figure includes 100000 of the Kennedy
legacy, which was altogether exceptional
Next year its total will hardly exceed
s, 100000. The second largest, and here
tofore the largest, is the Methodist
North, with a total of s., $4,000. Only two
other societies exceed a,0oo0oo. These
are the Baptists of the North and the
Congregationalists.
In England the two societies of the
Established Church lead all others. with
incomes of $1,S00,0o0 and s1,s5,0oO. No
other society in England reaches the one
million figure, nor do any on the CONT
nent
As products of all of this expenditure
Of Christian money the societies them
selves claim 2,6H,0 actual Protestant

istence. So important is the place of the
Heidelberg Catechism in its church that
the. committee OF union between the
Presbyterian denomination and the Ger
man Reformed Church agree that the
Heidelberg Catechism should be accepted
on a plane of equality with the West

Summarized. IL runs thus:
The Heidelberg Catechism was pub

Elector Frederick III, OF the Palatinate,
a district In Western Germany, of which
Heidelberg is the capital. II wns writ
