The C. E. meeting Sunday evening was
a temperance meeting. Many interest
ing facts and figures were given. There
was special singing by the choir and also
singing by Harold and Ransom Parady,
The choir is a great help to the evening
meetings. There is yet much for each
to do in the temperance work and the
G. E. Society has its part to do. Liquor
is the greatest evil our missionaries have
to contend with. The natives cannot
understand how our country can send the
missionaries and the liquor on the same
ship If we wish to be a help to them. Our
greatest work is to create public senti-
ment until there will be no chance for
tine liquor traffic.

made remarks. 1t made remarks "
the girl and to the young man. 1t
gave aaYlce to the goat and to the
pig II advised the goat to pin the pig
to the renee with his horns and hold
him there until life was extinct, 1t
ADVISED the pig to remember Bunker
Hill and 60 in and make a whirlwind
finish of it.
MOI until the police came did each
owner gather up the remains of his
animal and quit the scene of the COM
bat. Iheir glances expressed nothing
but supreme Indignation as they
turned away. 1t was so plain that they
wished each other destruction in some
awful form that a chauffeur who had
stopped TO witness the affair while the
meter went right on recording, felt
called upon to express himself:
Gee! but 'sposen he should fall in
love with that girl some day How
she would turn him down."
And it happened, 1t was bound to
happen Destiny wouldn't have missed
such a golden opportunity for all the
old second hand hats in Boston. A
fad is acquired as easily as cold in
the head Some run about the same
length of time-some a little longer,
but they are bound to be abandoned
for something else.
Miss Nora Lee got home from the
scene OF that tragedy disguised with
her goat and herself 1t wasn't the
same goat with which she so blithely
set out an hour before, and she
wasn't the same girl. She found her
self hoping that the goat would jump
the fence and take himself off to be
seen by her no more. Then she would
buy parrot or a tame crow, or
squirrel with a wheel in his cage.
She might even turn to a French bull
dog or an alligator from Florida.
And Mr.. Burt Wiltshire reached
home to telephone to the nearest
butcher
Say, now, do you want to buy o
pig?"
yep, Got one for sale?"
81 have"
"How much?"
"If you take him away at once you
can have him for two dollars"
All right-hes mine"
Mr.. Wiltshire also determined to
drop his pig-fad for another. 1t might
be for donkey or a camel-he would
think it over.
And one day two weeks later the
girl without the goat and the young
man without a pig met face to face
on the street. Each wavered. Each
halted Each blushed and was con-
fused
& want to beg your pardon!" he
finally managed to say.
And I want to beg yours was the
reply.
ut was all my pigs fault"
II believe my goat began the row."
ut was so sudden that-that-"
"The same with me-
81 have sold the pig"
"And my goat has got away, and
don't want him back"
And then and there came new fad
for each one. 1t was interest in
human being of the opposite sex.

Sonus of TODAY.

Where is the present-day popular
song that may be compared with
annie Laurie" or my Old Kentucky
Home" or Sally in Our Alley?" Nay,
where is the presant-day popular song
that has more than an off chance Of
being remembered or sung single
year hence, let alone remaining a ia
vorite for a generation? Nowhere.
In songs, as in so many other mat
ters, the one desire just at present IS
to get the applause-and dollars-of
the moment. If "bearcat" dance or
a sloppily sentimental ballad attracts
attention to itself and income to its
inventor, nothing more is asked or
expected. So of "cubist art" which is
merely lunacy on canvas; so of ten
deroin plays. The one thing required
is not that they shall be true, or beau
tiful, or thoughtful, or enduring; but
that they shall make money. 1t is
strange that an age like the present,
which has so many superb achieve
ments to it's credit, and which is more
deeply imbued with the sense of hu-
man brotherhood than any preceding
time in history, should have come to
this sorry pass in matters of art and
recreation.

Learn Wisdom From the Savaces.

Learn Wisdom From the SavaGes.
A lay sermon by William Allen
White "a young cub, who has fifty
thousand year, is in trouble in New
York-young lady trouble. Which is
natural enough. Any youth VINO has
fifty thousand a year to spend is 60
Ing to get into trouble spending it.
Work is the thing that keeps youth
straight; work is the one medicine
that cures youth of its vast and stu
pendous folly. If young man has
fifty thousand year to spend, he has
no more chance of being decent than
a monkey. In South Africa, in the
interior, the native custom provides
that all the young negroes shall go 10
bed at dusk in tree houses reached
by ladders, and the smart old men
come and take the ladders down. But
give a young man $4,000 to spend,
let him sit up nights, and give him
access to the ladder at all hours of
the night, and he will go to the Bad
Place sure. Can it be that the Afri-
can savages know more of life than
we So?"
