A slantina Commitment.

Here is a good sea story from the
late Frank T. Bullen's "Recollections."
He once gave an impromptu lecture to
the. crew of H. NJ. s. Mars at the IN
vitation of Captain May:
II did not attempt to lecture. just
fell back upon the we'll known ver-
nacular and talked pure sailor, giving
them all the yarns in my budget that
We're appropriate. And the time al
lotted me--an hour and half-sped
like a dream, prnctuated by laughter
and applause as generous and as full
as only the handy man can give"
The next morning the chief yeoman
of signals saluted Bullen and asked
him casually if he knew the ships
steward. He replied that he did not.
"Ah, Well" Flags rejoined, "he's a
funny man, but Il great chum O. mine.
Last night, as he was a-goin' down
from the lecture, he says to Inc, Flags,
from 'enceforth regard you as per-
fectly truthful man. may as we'll
say, sir, that I've 'itherto 'ad the repu-
tation of bein' the biggest liar in the
fleet"
ut was not until some time after
ward,'' wrote Mr.. Bullen, that fully
appreciated the somewhat oblique
compliment"

= His Only Escape.


a certain French journalist was one
day disagreeably intruded upon by u
creditor, who announced his intention
Of not departing until his bill was paid.
The creditor planted himself upon a
chair, and the journalist beheld him,
with CONSERVATION, draw a package of
sandwiches from his pocket as though
to fortify himself against long stay.
Several hours glided by. The jour
nalist finished his article The cred
itor showed no signs of leaving. Sud-
denly the journalist arose and with bits
Of newspaper began carefully filing
all the apertures through which air
could come into the room. He then
made preparations for lighting char
coal fire. Just before applying the
match he wrote something on large
sheet of paper and pasted it upon the
wall. The paper was worded, "Take
notice that we die Of our own willr'
"What are you doing?" cried the
creditor uneasily.
"Nell, my FRIEND" replied the Jour-
nalist TRANQUILITY. 'your society would
render life perfectly intolerable, so we
are going to commit suicide together"
It is needless to say the creditor left.

BUYING His Note.

Colonel Bill was pioneer legislator,
merchant and banker of the vest peck
ct variety.
1t was seldom that Colonel Bill got
caught by a debtor, so unerring WAS
his Judgment of men, but his transac-
ton with old man Blankerton was an
exception to the rule. Blankerton got
into Colonel Bills ledger to the amount
Of $50 and finally balanced the ac-
count with note.
When the paper was long time
overdue and there was no prospect Of
settlement, to the eminent disgust Of
the colonel, he declared. With Il strong
Anglo-SaNon emphasis, that he would
sell Blankerton's note for 80 cents on
the dollar The statement was not
long reaching the ears of the maker
of the note. He met the colonel in the
village street one day and accosted
him:
bill, heard you'd offered to sell my
note for 80 cents on the dollar"
Yes: Will"
will you sell it to me at that rate:"
Eyes, sir; Iii sell it to you at that
rate"

note

became noticeable from that moment

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

According to the proclamation
of the governor, last Sunday was
Purity Sunday throughout the
state, when 1t was expected that
the different pupits would speak
ON the subject of purity of NOR
ais in our nation.
Al the morning service the pas
to rdiscussed the subject from
the standpoint that purity of
speech, eliminating all slang.
profane and obscene language
was The basic principal of all pur-
lty of morals. Stating that if the
home and the school would be
more strict in regard to the dis
use of slang, which is the fore
runner of profanity and obsenity,
That this would go a long way to-
wards stamping out immortality
of conduct.
Last Sunday our Sunday school
entered into an attendance con-
test with the Congregations Sun
day School at Hankinson, N. d.,
which is to con..nue for eight
Sundays when the entire attend
ance will be divided by eight so as
to strike the average attendance,
| land whichever school has the
larger average attendance will re-
ceive beautiful banner.
So we ask the assistance of the
members and friends of the
church, that we may make a good
showing in the contest.
The congregations We're favor
ed with splendid special music
last Sunday. In the morning there
was double quartette, and in the
evening a male quartette consist
ing of Messrs Prather, Barnes,
Cllpfell. and ID. r. Jones. They
rendered two numbers that were
very much appreciated and en-
joyed.
The congregational song-ser-
vice every Sunday evening is al
so very helpful and inspiring, and
is promoting much better con-
gregational singing. The old
hymns of the Congregational
Hymnal are being used and find
ing much favor with the people.
The attendance contest men
toned above, between the Hank
inson congregational Sunday
School and the Wahpeton Con-
gregational school, resulted in
the Wahpeton school being one
in the lead last Sunday.

Naughty overcomers
In their ponlp and state,
