WILL BE ELECTED BISHOP.
Information from all parts of the
country is to the effect that Rev. A.
J. Carey, A. M, D. D., Phi. D., minister
and warden of the Institutional
Church, Chicago, will be one of the
strongest candidates to come before
the General Conference of the A. M. E..
Church, which meets in Philadelphia
in May. That his election is prac-
tically assured is the consensus of
opinion among the well informed dele.
gates leading preachers and promi-
nent laymen.
DR.. Carey has the Endorsement of
practically every person of promi-
hence in Illinois. The A. M. E. min.
listers are for him to man and have
issued a circular letter in his behalf;
the leading members of the bar,
headed by Edward H. Morris, the
foremost lawyer of the country have
issued a printed endorsement; the
leading physicians and surgeons,
headed by DR.. Daniel H. Williams, the
most famous physician and surgeon,
have united in an endorsement, and
men of every profession and calling,
not only in Illinois but in every state
in the union, have endorsed the mill
tant pastor and, what is better, we
have it on good authority that DR..
Carey's friends have secured pledges
from enough delegates to make his
election sure.

God give men! A time like this demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready hands,
Men whom the lust Of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor-men who will not lie;
Men who stand before demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without winng!
Tall men, sun crowned who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.

HINTS

People commonly think Of cancer
as a single definite disease, as dis.
tinct and uniform in its nature as ap.
pendicitis or typhoid fever. This is
wrong. 1t is nearer tie truth to re.
gard cancer" as the name of a group
Of quite different diseases which have
one feature In common.
AS a matter Of fact cancer" in the
light Of modern knowledge Of human
ailments Is almost as general and
vague a term as fever"
The word covers number of entire.
ly distinct diseases, differing widely
in their origin, symptoms, Treatment
and durability.
The various kinds Of tumors have
little in common except that they are
all forms Of new and lav-less growths
Of body cells.
This false notion OF cancer as a sin.
gle disease has probably hindered
progress toward the understanding
and control Of the various diseases
which are commonly and conveniently
grouped under that name.
All forms Of cancer are aspects of
new and lawless cell growths, and II
Ia the inner nature or cause of such
growth that medical science does not
yet fully understand.
The thing for the man IN the street
to understand is that each different
Kind OF cancer is a separate disease.

by any one OF them 1t is we'll before be.

CHAIRS FOR TWO.

Newspaper Syndicate.)
THE sophomore class OF Bethel
college had Just finished one Of
= the most successful dances in
history. It was after midnight when
the last speech was given, the last
Song sung and the happy pleasure
iseekers bundled into the four big
Stages which waited to take them
back to Collegeville. On the day home
the boys sang and cheered their spir-
arrived at the neighborlng town OF
Fleetwood, several members of the
party had reached a point OF exuber-
,euce.
The desire for activity had increas-
ed 50 much that one Of the more ad.
iventurous suggested that II would be
10 fine thing to visit the verandas of
the Glenwood homes and make col
lection Of chairs. No sooner was the
suggestion made than the high-spirit-
ed students swooped down upon the
darkened houses. Soon q miscel-
1aneous collection of chairs was piled
upon the coaches. and the boys
continued their triumphal march
through the town.
When the end Of the village was
: reached, however. the more sober
members Of the party called halt.
The chairs were piled high on the
lawn Of one OF the most prominent
icitizers, and thence the irate inhabi-
tants journeyed the next morning to
claim their own and vent their wrath
on the memory Of the night visitors.
But not all the trophies were left
behind. Jim Duncan. with charac-
teristic stubbornness. refused to part
with his treasure. 1t was a fine chair
OF solid mahogany, which seemed too
good for veranda use, and Jim, de-
claring that he had taken q fancy to
tt, carried 1t on his lap to Collegeville
and installed 1t in corner Of his
room.
On the very next night, Jim met
Elsie Thurston. It was at Country
Club dance. and after the third fox
trot, Jim decided that Elsie was alto
:gether the finest girl he had ever
met. He liked the way she looked
at him through dropping lashes OF
4 black. and he liked the curl of her
chestnut hair hanging low over her
ears. Elsie. on her part, evidently
considered Jim with favorable light,
for she gave him three other dances
before the evening was over. and just
before they parted she acquiesced in

whats the matter?" she asked
noting his startled expression.
"Why-I-er-was looking at that
chair" he managed to answer. TITS
rather odd, isn't it,"
Yes, 1t is one OF a pair we used to
have that has been in the family for
years."
Jim examined the chair with inter-
est.
You say that there was another
one?" he asked. where is it?"
A shadow OF annoyance crossed the
girls face.
"a group of college boys stole II
the night before last" she answered.
I've left 1t on the veranda by mis-
take, and they took that with num-
Der OF others from the neighboring
houses. The others we found on the
outskirts of the town, but ours was
not among them"
"Oh. that's o shame!" He spoke
Indignantly. DO they fit together"
Yes, they were so made that they
could be Joined to form a tete-a-tete.
Do you see where the joints are?"
Jim examined the spot indicated,
and discovered two small locks exact
ly like the one he had noticed in the
other chair.
Maybe" he suggested, II can look
around the dormitory and find the
other one. And IL l do, I'll bring 1t
back to you."
"Oh, IL you only cant" She glanced
at him gratefully. and Jim suddenly
resolved to bring back the other chair
on the very next evening.
So bright and early next morning
he seated himself at his desk and
wrote a letter:
Dear Elsie:-I secuted around
last night and found your chair in
one of the students rooms. Unless I
hear from you by phone, shall bring
1t over tonight"
No phone message was forthcom-
ing, SO at eight o'clock Jim packed
the chair in his runabout and depart
ed for Glenwood. Mr.. Thurston was
seated on his veranda when he ar.iy-
ed.
IT am very much obliged and in
debted> to you." he announced, when
Jim showed him his precious cargo.
Elsie Is in the library"
Taking the chair with him, Jim
entered the house. When Elsie saw
him, she gave cry of delight.
"Oh, 1t Is just fine Of you!" she ex-
claimed. Where did you find IT."
II promised not to TELL" he ex.
swered. ut doesn't matter, does it,
SO long as we have the chair back"
"Of course not" She clapped her
hands. "Oh, l am so glad!"
After that. the evening flew by on
gilded wings. But just before It was
time to go, Jim yen.ured a sugges-
ton.
You haven't shoTn me how those
chairs are joined together to make a
tete-a-tete." he said.
mo-" she answered, ~ haven't,
but I will"
She Joined them deity. and few
minutes later Jim was sitting In one,
with Elsie beside him in the other.
