I A Business Mans Prayer.

Teach me that sixty seconds
make one minute, sixteen ounces
one pound, and one hundred cents
one dollar. Help me to live so
that can lie down at night with
a clear conscience, without a gun
under my pillow, and unhaunted
by the faces of those to whom |
have brought pain.
Grant that | may earn my meal
ticket on the square, and that, in
earning it, | may not stick the
gaff in where it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle OF
tainted money and the rustic OF
unholy skirts. Blind me to the
faults Of the other fellows, but
reveal to me mine own.
Guide me so that each night
when l look across the dinner
table at my wife, who has been a
blessing to me, shall have moth
ing to conceal. Keep me young
enough to laugh with my chill
dren.
f And when the smell of flowers,
and the tread of soft steps, and
the crunching of wheels out in
front make the ceremony short
and the epitaph simple, here, lies
|a fan,

The j. F. +. club has been re-
organized and will hold its en-
tertainments this year as before.
Seven new members have been adj
ded to the club, making a total
membership of twenty. The Of
ficers for the coming year as as
follows: President, Ruth Myers;
secretary and reporter, Clara
Ball; mistress of finance, Grace
Owens.
Last evening being Halloween
eve it was quite natural that the
club would have nothing doing so
i the October committee, consisting
of Ruth Myers and Madge Dessert,
gave very successful October
honor party at the Myers home
on Sixth street. AS the guests ar
rived they read the sign Take
off your gloves, safety first" AS
lsoon as they entered the house
ghost with wet salt on his hand
led them upstairs, where they
were passed over to another
ghost. who took them into wierd
room, where they might discard
their coats. Then the unfortu-
nate sisters We're taken into the
den of horror, which would be
impossible to describe, but when
they finally got through they had
their fortunes and Halloween
cap to keep in remembrance OF
the. happenings i'll the den.
1 A short business meeting was
held and then the guests We're in
lvited into the living room, where
they formed a circle around the
ghost lights. Here Misses Eleta
Everett and Grace Owens proved
themselves very capable enter
tainers I'M telling ghost stories.
Mrs. Myers then invited tho
girls into the dining room, where
| a delicious three course supper
was served. The fortunes, which
We're in verse form, were read
here. After supper the raisin
race and several other games
were played. The decorations in
the parlor we're pink and green
and this was the club room since
| it had the club colors. The living
or butterfly room was very artis-
Itically decorated in large Hallow-
'een butterflies. while the hall
was made into corn field. The
ldining room was very elaborate
Halloween spot. The miniature
candles gave out their mild light.
The place cards were small ghosts
holding yellow scrolls and the
centerpiece was large pumpkin
jack-o-lantern, around which
were dancing ghosts. A large
boquet of chrysanthemums was
at either end of the large table.

THE REVIVAL.

The mems meeting at the re-
vival last night was a notable
success. The speakers were all
men, the chorus all men, the or
chestra all men, and the organist
will be man some day if he lives
long enough. The, speakers were
Messrs. J. e. Jones, O. r. Bald
win, d. C. Reel and John SHELTON.
Each man gave his own message
in his own way. There We're five
responses TO the invitation. Fol-
lowing the invitation the baptis-
NAL service was performed, in
which a large number We're hap
tized. The audience was one of
the largest during the week of the
campaign. The subject of the
sermon tonight will be The
Church, The junior chorus
will occupy the north gallery. A
nursery will be open in the upper
room for the little tots.

mestic science. This work is to
be extended and should it come
ito your city l bespeak for it your
most hearty support.
Another educational factor
which is only beginning to de-
Ivelop is the motion picture. It's
possibilities are manifold. 1t is
not too much to say that il will
bring to thousands of boys and
lgirls the only definite ideas they
will ever get Of many Important
and interesting Industrial pro-
|cesses. The department with
which l am connected at the Iowa
State college is at present de-
|veloping educational motion pic
ture programs in the fields of
agriculture, industry and science.
In the promotion and Develop
ment of such educational pro-
grams the Woman's clubs can be
lof great assistance and in many
places already have been.
Within the past two years the
teaching of agriculture, domestic
Iscience and manual training has
been made compulsory in the pub
Ilic schools. Agriculture and do
Imestic science are we'll started
land will never lose their hold on
the public mind Manual train
ing must be adapted to local con-
dltlons il it is to keep pace with
the development OF the other two.
1t ought to serve as means OF
hand training and also as a means
Iof giving boy or a girl a round
Iof experiences from which TO
make a choice of occupation or
type of occupation desired. 1t may
also be directly useful on the
farm and in the home. Iowa has
a big problem and a mixed prob
Hem, because of her scattered and
diversified population and indus
tries. II, is my hope to see the
Ischools coordinate moro closely
with industry in the larger COM
mcrcial centers and in the rural
districts to make agriculture, do
mestic science and manual train
ing real factors in education,
closely ro-ordinated with the
farm and home. This is not the
problem Of the schoolmastel
alone; it is a problem for the
community.

BUcKHANNoN, May 2s.-Before
another weekend rolls round the big
event Of the baseball year in West
Virginia collegiate circles will have
been set going and week from today
the first blood in the annual West
Virginia Wesleyan baseball series will
have been drawn. The initial game
OF this three-game series will be played
In Buckhannon on the Wesleyan field
on Saturday, June3 3. This game now
looms up as the most interesting ever
played in Buckhannon. From every
angle from which the comparative
strength of the two teams Is viewed
1t appears that they are very evenly
matched and that the series will be
one Of the hardest fought ever staged
In the state. The Marshall-Wcst Vir-
gtnia series at Huntington will de-
termine whether or not the Wesleyan
and W. v. q. games will cut figure
In the state Championship, but wheth-
or or not they have a bearing on the
title or not, will not differ. 1t will
be question of supremacy between
the Old Gold and Blue and the Or
ange and black and wherever that
question Is involved there Is a GER
tainty of interesting proceedings.
IL Wesleyan wins here on Saturday,
Mondays game at Fairmont will draw
a large crowd OF local supporters Of
the team to the Marion county seat for
that clash. This series will be large:
~ a matter OF pitchers, local people
feel, and II Wesleyan can get the mum.

SPORT NOTES

Benny Leonard is going to box two
men in a night. Were they to box
at same time they might make things
warm for Benny.
Connie Mack has gone back-just
like Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford
and Charles Schwab.
While Bill Killifer was getting a
shave in Pittsburgh the other day a
man so years of age stole his overcoat,
A younger fellow might have made
off with Bills shoes.
Objections may be raised to the
White.Welch fight in Buenos Aires,
but they won't come from these United
States.
The grand old dope says Lajoie Is
Al years of age. but you can't make
American league pitchers believe It.
Now that Chief Meyers has beat
out an infield hit it's UP to Oscar
Stanage to make good by TRIPPING to
left and reaching first.
A gent who knows, says Mike 9Th.
bons would rather fish than fight.
But why should Mike give demonstra.
tions In the ring?
Lee Fohl isn't much Of manager.
He's Just a poor goof who wheeled
ball club into first place.
Some folks call the Boston Braves
cultured, but Hank Gowdy still con.
tends that coffe is the best drink ev.
er poured in the saucer.
