cassee was not to be despised, how
ever, even for the seaside.
f. Old Mr.. Wasser had dined there the
first three evenings of his holiday, but
there was one point of mystery, one
element of quaintness. Invariably he
ordered one dozen oysters, and quite
as invariably the waiter placed before
him just eleven Of these well-known
bivalvUlar ImoIluscs-eleven and no
more.
On the fourth evening the same
trouble arose. Mr.. Wasser looked
closely at the plate, tested the multi
pication again and again with his
finest arithmetical acumen, and then
summoned the waiter by means of
the cracked, unmusiCal gong beside
him.
Waiter" he said indulgently, and
yet withal firmly, 81 ordered one
dozen oysters. Now, in my young
days one dozen comprised precisely
twelve. Why, then, varlet, dost al
ways bring but a paltry eleven?"
The waiter adjusted his serviette
to the required position on his fore
arm and bowed elegantly. Likewise
he went "Ahem"
Sir" he said, calmly and evenly,
none of our patrons care to sit thir-
teen at table"

THE MASTER WORD
BY Berton Braisy,
In days of old when wizards dWeh
Within a world Of fancy,
When imps and gnomes and pixies
dealt
In spells of necrOmancy,
They had strang phrases fulfOf dread
'UnCanny nominations
Which, with the proper cadence said,
Caused wOndrous complications
With queer conniptions, dire and
dark,
The magic words they muttered,
And thunder rolled at each remark
These old magicians uttered.
We have no witches nowadays,
No wizard dire who chOrtles,
And yet we have one master phrase
Which plays the deuce with
mortals.
It brings them JOY, it brings them
bliss,
It brings them endless trouble,
It makes a Mrs. of a Miss,
Turns single into double.
It brings you peace, it brings you
strife,
It lights the skies above you,
It is the Master Word of life
That little phrase, 81 love you!"

METHODIST MEN
MEET TOMORROW
Missionaries, Pastors and
Laymen to Discuss
Work of Church.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 27.-Whai
promises to be one of the most i'm
pOrtant events in the history of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Amer.
lea is the Methodist Mems convention,
which opens here tomorrow to con
tinue to October 81.
1t is estimated there are about
5000 delegates here, comprising all
the Methodist bishops in this country,
Missionaries and clergymen to the
number of 1900, and about an equal
number Of prominent laymen of the
church from every part of the coun-
try.
The reason for this calling together
of this first convention of its kind in
the history of the church, is chiefly
financial. 1t il proposed to elaborate
and perfect the financial policy of the
church as promulgated at the general
conference last May. Under this new
policy there will be no more begging
Sundays. That is to say, no minister
of the church will be obliged, nor
indeed, permitted, to solicit funds for
foreign missions from his pulpit 1t
is also believed that the present con-
vention will devise a fund raising
system which will make the same rule
apply to the home mission finances.
The convention will be held under
the auspices of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Society of the Methodist Epis-
copal church
