Cards Did 1t.

This story was told in the Garrick
theater, Philadelphia, Pa, during the
great kings Business" revival move
ment there:
While friend Of mine was conducting
meeting one morning, tramp came
d said, "My father and mother
TO sit in this pew. 1t was the frs t
kIh | ever attended. My father was
la officer in the church. Seven boys
FUSED to sit in this pew in the Sunday
School class. We had great love and
respect for our Sunday School teacher.
One Saturday afternoon she invited us
to here home. She entertained us with
music, eatables and review of the
Sunday School lesson. After a while
began cages to please and hold our
attention, she taught us the names Of
cards. None of us had ever used cards
We became enthusiastic over them,
learning different games. After a
while we would not give SO much time
Z to the lession, but she allowed us more
time to play cards, and show us more
tricks. After while we were off in the
cotton gins playing cards and not going
to here home. Later we failed to go to
Sunday School. Cards, cigarettes, then
drinking gambeling. We all at diffe-
rent times left our homes. Two of
those boys have been hung, three are
in states prison for life, one vaga-
bond like myself. No one knows where
he is and if the authorities knew | was
here would be arrested and put behind
the bars. All / wish is. that teacher
had never taught es how to play cards.

Enjoys Increased Trade

Every since the Manchester House
was re-opened, Memorial Day, there
has been a steady increase in trade. 1t
does not take long for the travelling
public to become acquainted with fact
when there is a modern down-to- the
minute hotel in the town. Folks as a
rule are quick to appreciate good things
and especially public conveniences.
Accordingly the Manchester House is
enjoying an increased patronage. In
stead of planning to pass through Clio
and stop no longer than neces-
sary, statesmen and others arrange now
to stay as long as possible in our city.
Mine host, Chas. Manchester, being
ever alert, to please and make both
stranger and friend comfortable at all
times, has brought about this desired
change in affairs. Commodious well-kept
rooms an inviting dining hall and tempt
ing dinners, these alone appeal to the
point almost shall we say: "Where it's
nearly next to impossible to pass
through Clio, without stopping at the
Manchester House, where the festive
board groans with goodness and hospit-
ality is perfection.

world conference of Seventh-day Ad-

Washington, ID. e. The report was sent
to Joseph Conway, an officer of the
local organization, and gives the growth
of the body during the past so years,
from May Il, 1868 to the 23rd of this
month of May.
The report says: beginning in OBJ
scurity, year by year has witnessed
continual progress, until today this
work is being carried forward in SO
countries, where it is making adherents
and to which laborers have been sent,
where missions have been opened, con-
ferences organized, and schools, print
ing plants, and sanitariums set in opera
tion and doing their appointed work.
Instead of handful of believers,
with few facilities, there is now body
of believers numbering Ill., ,206, with
many and varied facilities for proclaim

since this work was organized have
been as follows: First decade, $5. 55:
second, 1854; third, $11.59; fourth
$11.0l; fifth, $23. The total amount
of funds raised by the denomination for
all lines of work since this cause was

BRITISH WAX FACET|OUS
Do Not Seem Properly Impressed
With the Dignity Of "Poet ~
Laureateship."

London, June 13.-The poet laur-
eateship which is vacant owing to the
death of Alfred Austin, carries sal
ary of $3.50 year with an allowance of
$l35 in lieu of "a butt of sac"
Premier Asquith enlightened the
mem bers of the house Of commons
last night with this information when
Arthur Lynch, the Irish member for
West Glare, made inquiry as to the
salary, perquisites and privilege which
were attached to the office. The prem
ier admitted that he did not know the
exact duties of the post.
Swift McNeill, another Irish member
who is known as the wit Of the house,
suggested seriously the revival of the
post of kings jester. Another mem
Der promptly suggested Mr.. McNeill
for the post.
Captain Lynch wound up the discus
sion by asking whether butt of sac
was not an intolerable deal Of sac for
a ha'porth of poetry.

ADVISE ON ROAD REPAIR
Bulletin From Agricultural Department
Tells Ways to Improve
Highways. ,*. s. s-

Washington, D. c., June 13.-ln-
crease in the number and weight OF
automobiles and heavy auto trucks has
prompted the Office Of public roads OF
the department of agriculture to issue
special pamphlet of instructions on
the maintenance of highways. 1t rec
ommends the inclusion of heavier and
more substantial foundation In road
buildings as means Of keeping down
the cost of such maintenance.
There is probably no subject IN
which the progressive farmer is more
deeply interested" says the road ex-
perts in a statement issued today,
than that of having roads connecting
him with his markets over which he
may be able to haul the greatest pos
slble loads. Good roads, like all other
good things, are too expensive to build
and of too much value to be neglected -
The pamphlet does not go into the
work Of road construction to any ex-
tent but the experts have confined
their recommendations to the best
methods for keeping in repair roads
already built. ...

Washington, D. c., June 13.--With
the gigantic task ahead of it OF ap.
praising the physical property of the
railroads of the United States, the in
terstate commerce commission today
sent out an appeal for expert assist
ants. Through the civil service com.
mission dates have been set for the
examination of the men acquainted
with railroad operation and construc.
tion and who aspire to enter the serv.
ice of the government.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion wants large staff Of structural
electrical, mechanical, railway signal
and civil engineers, inspectors Of car
equipment and motive power and
architects. The salaries will range
from $1,080, the lowest, to $4,000, but
as the work will be mainly done away
from Washington, expenses will be al.
lowed while on duty. The civil serv.
ice commissioners expect general
response to It's call and fixed July 21
as the closing date on which applica-
tions will be received by it.
