How One Pastor Built Church

Last winter one of the strong churches of Los Angeles extended Rev.
 w. H. Sheffer of Memphis, Tenn, a call to become their pastor, and after considering all sides of the question he decided to accept the call, relates the Christian Herald. So he con vened his official board, placed before them his resignation and asked to be released His board being made up of tactful business men. and know ing that their pastor had tried for years to build new church, request ed him to hold the resignation in abeyance for a week, which he did. Then the board got busy, bought a new site for church and paid $27,000 for it and reported to the church the following Sunday that they would build a new church on it at once if their pastor would consent to remain with them He wanted another week, and then said to his church: T will stay with you if you will subscribe S45,000 for the new church at once. They took him at his word, and at that service subscribed $54000 for the new building. It goes without say ing that his church is very happy over his decisioin to stay with them.

Catherine the Oak Leaves.

In certain sections of New Jersey the gathering of oak leaves is late summer and autumn industry. Pass ing through the section where the fn- dustry Is carried on, one sees the sides of houses and barns or any oth- CT place out of doors where the branches can hang to dry filled with row after row of punches of oak.
 After drying for two weeks they are put in bales for shipment. Last year one man gathered more than 300 punches day and had more than 12 tons for shipment.
 The price is about $50 ton, and there is a brisk demand in European cities for the oak branches thus pre- pared. There are 100 limbs in bun dle and 100 punches in bale. The leaves are free for the taking, mostly. Still, some owners of woodland are ln the money making game themselves, and charge so much per acre for the privilege.
 The gatherer does not have to SOW or cultivate-it seems as if the crop were a gift of nature.

TOO STRONG FOR UTTERANCE
lrascible Old Salt Had Many Things He Would Like to Declare, But
 Not at That Tine.

Mrs. Van Alen Thompson, whose entry into the country gave her much difficulty with the customs officials, was recounting her experiences to a few friends in Boston. She said:
 Tt was very unpleasant but not the least unpleasant part was the attitude of the customs officials. I hope they don't intend to be as rude as they ap- pear to the returning traveller.
 But" continued Mrs Thompson. philosophically, q suppose it would be difficult to be popular as a customs inspector. Everybody disikes these poor men. Everybody feels towards them like the old skipper
 This skipper, after undergoing sev- eral hours of suspicious cross-ques- tioning from two inspectors regarding his cargo, was at last leaving the wharf when a young official, unaware of his previous grilling, aecosted him.
 Have you anything to declare, sir?' he demanded sharply.
 Furious, the old skipper glared at the young man and shouted:
 Yes, young man, I've a good deal to declare, but I'd be ashamed to say it before a boy like you You're too young to hear what 1 would like to declare'"

Posts, Up or Down?

The agricultural experiment station of Ohio has been making some tests as to which end of post should be set in the ground. Farmers generally believe in planting it with the butt or root end upward on the principle that, as it is easier for the sap to run up the tree than down it, setting the post upside down tends to prevent the rise of water and helps to keep the wood dry.
 The Ohio officials planted 1856 black locust posts 20 years ago. One-third of those set top down have routed off and only little more than one-siXth of those set top up have met similar fate. They reach the conclusion that there is no difference which end is put into the ground, except that the sounder or longer end should have the preference.

Bad Form to Be Amazine.

There are no posers on the grant, scale now. Our musicians have short hair and play golf. Authors cannot be distinguished from ordinary men. Art students are abandoning their amazing clothes. Even poets have given up poetical locks. and instead of writing pretty fancies worry us with poems of the outspoken natural school. Music is in tweeds, literature is in navy blue, and poetry is in a bowler hat. Apparently there is no chance of any return of affectation The world becomes more natural every day, and every hour some neglected pose dies a natural death. There are no startling and picturesque figures. The glitter ing Whistler was the last of the artis- tic masters to pose, the last man will ing to spend an hour before looking glass; the last man-to use his own word-who could De called amazing" For now it is bad form to be amazing, and every one is expected to be as in significant as possible. The only af- fectation left is the affectation of be- ing natural. And there could not be a duller one.

He Made the Hundredth.

A man was on trial before a western judge for horse stealing, and when it came time for the lawyers on both sides to tell the judge what instruc- tions they wanted him to give to the jury in addition to the points covered in his own charge, the attorney for the defense said T respectfully ask your honor to instruct the jury that it is a fundamental principle of law in this country that it is better for 99 guilty men to escape than for one innocent man to be found guilty" Yes, that is true,' said the judge, and I so instruct the jury; but I will add that it is the opinion of the court that the 99 guilty men have already escaped"

Coed Layer.

Anthony Comstock at luncheon in New York said of certain tabooed books and plays:
 The motive of these works was per haps all right. But the expression, the form, was bad, And that spoiled the motive completely.
 Expression, form, you know, is everything. Consider how the lack of it spoiled the mason's speech.
 "A mason at memorial service said of a bricklayer who had been accident ally killed:
 "'Yes, gents, I looked out once on the beauties of nature, and all was cam. Our friend deceased here was layin brick. I looked out once again, and still all was cam, but our friend deceased here was no more. He was layin corpse.
