The new church at Pennington,
built for the Methodists of that place
to take the place of the one destroy
ed by fire, has been completed, and
the pastor, Rev. John NJ. KelsO, is the
authority for the statement that the
dedication services of the new Meth
odist Episcopal church at Farming
ton, will take place next Sunday, May
23rd, at 2:30 p. M, when Rev. T. e.
Terry of Harrington will preach
There will also be preaching at 1O:3O
a. m. Of the same day by the pastor.
Pennington has new church
through and by the destructive work
Of fire, and it is a great improvement
to the general appearance of the town
as we'll as a very pretty place OF WOr-
ship. The public is invited to be
present on Sunday.
Pennington has a very comfortable
school room for her children, but that
was brought about Dy the action of
the elements or efforts of the people
voluntarily, but, however, it is a fact,
and the town of Pennington has two
public buildings to point to with some
pride.
Pennington is all right if the peo-
pie will make up their minds to have
Improvements while they are living,
and it is a well known fact thatp rop-
erty can not be carried beyond the
grave by any individual; so if the
purpose of getting all the comfort out
Of life possible while we are capable
Of enjoying it we and the world will
be happier thereby.

Velvet Dresses with Tunics.

Although many dress skirts are in
circular cut. this is rarely the case
with velvet dresses, as the long tunic
is especially good in velvet, says the
Drygoods Economist. These long
overskirts, as they may be called. re-
quire weight in the cloth to make
them hang gracefully, and are. there
fore. an attractive style for velvet
Circular skirts are very apt to hang
unevenly in velvet, as the weight Of

ENGLAND'S new SEA LORD

John Arbuthnot Fisher, Baron
Fisher of Kilverston, who succeeded
Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg as
first sea lord of the admiralty, has long
held as his motto, "The frontiers of
England are the coasts of the enemy"
The son of an obscure Highlander cap
tain and high-born Singhalese wom-
an. Fisher combined a certain amount
of oriental craft with traditional Brit
ish tenacity and reasoning. By sheer
force of mind, strict attention to duty
and persistent labor Fisher rose, step
by step, to the highest rank in 1904.
But even then the commander accept
ed promotion with reservation. He
had plans for a reorganization of the
British fleet. British naval power then
was not nearly SO great as it is today,
nor was 1t concentrated In the old
days the Mediterranean was regarded
as the scene of possible activities.
Fisher saw change had been brought
about in England's political relations
and that consequently the North sea

Its an honest movement and &

Seabright old maid.
"A Seabright old maid was talking
to sunburned college boy on the
beach. A pretty girl passed and tie
old maid said:
""There goes Minnie Summers. You
took her to the hop last evening, didn't
you?
Yes said the college boy, and he
added politely: AS was taking leave
of Miss Summers after the hop 1t
dawned upon me-"
1T dawned!' said the old maid.
You kept her out till dawn! That's
what these new dances lead up to!'"

LEADER OF THE ENGINEMEN

From farm boy, with few educa-
tional opportunities, to leader OF men
now representing $4,000 fellow workers
in their fight for better working condi-
tions and higher wages, is the record
of Warren S. Stone, grand chief engi-
neer of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers.
Mr.. Stone has been the principal
figure in the hearings of the federal ar
bitration board which undertook to
settle perhaps the most serious contro-
versy that has ever arisen between
capital and labor-the differences ex-
listing between SO western railroads
and their $4,000 engineers and firemen.
Mr.. Stone was born in Ainsworth,
Iowa, in 1860, and when not working
on the farm managed to pick up bits of
knowledge in a small country school.
Six months in an academy also enlight-
ened him somewhat, he claims.
