stop His Paper"

Every editor has received them. The
postmaster sends them to the editor.
The postmaster is not to blame. For
instance, there was man by the name
Orwell, say Tom Short, who sent three
notices to stop his paper; he did not want
it any longer. We wondered what was
the matter, and, upon investigation of
the subscription book we found that
Tom was short 80 He had never paid
a cent, yet he stopped his paper as an
economy to US. He did not want US to
lose any more by him. A few days af-
forwards Short was at church and his
melodious tenor voice rang out loud and
clear in that stirring song, Jesus Paid
1t ALL" He might. have been mistaken.
but his earnestness impressed US. So
on the next day we sent him receipt in
full begging his pardon for not knowing
that he had made an assignment of his
liabilities to the Lord. -Ashland Inde

Took Desperate Chance.

A Richmond girl had a proposal of
marriage several weeks ago and asked
week to consider it before answering.
She then organized herself into an inves-
tigating committee and began taking
testimony from MARI led ladies of her &C
used to be belle and the most admired
girl in the town before she married six
years before. The cross examination
brought out the fact that she had six
children, did all her own work, includ-
ing washing and ironing, and hadn't
been down town for four weeks, and that
husband hadn't given her but two dollars
since she married, and that he had bor-
rowed and forgot to pay back SO which
her brother once gave her for Christmas
present. Instead he bought himself a
new overcoat with the money, while she
wore the same plush coat she wore when
he courted her. Another woman whom
she visited quit teaching school three
years ago to marry the handSomest and
best dressed man in town." and she was
supporting him. A third didn't dare
say her soul was her own when her hus-
band was around, though she used TO
write lovely essays when she was at
school on THE Emancipation of Wo-
men," and the fourth she visited was
divorced. After visiting them and sum-
ming up the evidence she went home
and wrote the young man. She will be
married next month.

successful young merchant of Berea.
He is sober and industrious and attends
closely to business. He comes from a

"On Time" Record

Statements just compiled in the office
of General Manager Davis of The Balti-
more & Southwestern r r. shows that
during the months of June and July. the
ION Time record for passenger trains
on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
was ninety-six per cent.
When it is considered that this per-
centage includes local as we'll as thru
trains and that it includes both mail
lines and branches, it is certainly re-
markable and record that operating
and passenger officials should justly feel
proud of.
