We were evidently not the only ones who

The result of the collection was not
satisfactory, a, the pastor 80 expressed
himself. He said to the choir:
''Will those of you who sing 80 lovely
please sing again while the plates are be-
irg passed." l thought what will the
harvest be?" would be appropriate.
Again the amount did not please him,
He took bill from his pocket and said,
''See what | will do, and lald 1t on the
plate. OF course the only thing for the
visiting minister was to do likewise,
which he did.
Then he leaned over the desk, and it
was like an over indulgent parent talking
to his family, his voice was so low and
soft. He said
why. am surprised. Some of you
have not put your hands in your pockets
tonight. | don't know what to think of
it. Now those of you who have not done
so. come to the altar and leave your Of
fetings"
Several did as he requested. and after
at least twenty minutes exporting he
announced the amount to be Sl4. 78. Then
came the sermon by the visiting minister
who was an Episcopallan. At the close
OF the service everyone with bowed
heads intoned the Lords Prayer. Their
black heads bowed, round the balcony a
row of children their chns resting on
folded arms with their faces up-turned,
made a picture that is still fresh in my
mind.

passed out, the choir singing Praise

BLOOD AS A Nerve TONIC

IF people would only attend to their
blood, instead of worrying themselves
i'll, said an eminent nerve specialist,
eve doctors should not see our consult
ing rooms crowded with nervous wrecks.
More people suffer from worry than
from anything else."
The sort OF thing which the specialist
spoke OF is the nervous rundown con-
dition caused by overwork and the
many anxieties of today. Sufferers
find themselves tired, morose, low
spirited, unable to keep their mind on
anything. Any sudden noise hurts
like blow. They are full OF ground
less fears and cannot sleep at night.
Doctoring the nerves with poisonous
sedatives is a terrible mistake. The
only real nerve tonic is a good supply
OF rich blood. Therefore the treatment
for neurasthenia, nervousness, and run
down health is the new rich blood which
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are able to
make. The revived appetite, improved
spirits and new strength which come
after few days use of the pills will
delight every sufferer.

Nervous System" will interest you.

WH!M OF AN ARTIST.
Turner and His Great Painting, 1.-THE
Building Of Carthane."

Building of Carthage"
When Turner exhibited his great pic
ture, THE Building of Carthage" he
was disappointed because it had not
been sold at once at the private view
and angry with the press for criticisng
it severely. Sir Robert Peel called
upon him.
'NIr. Turner" said he Il admire your
Carthage so much that l want to buy
it. l am told you want 800 guineas for
It,"
"Yes," said Turner: 1t was 500 gum
cas-, but today it's 600"
"Well," said Sir Robert. 81 did not
come prepared to give 600, and l must
think it over. At the same time it
seems to me that the change is an ex-
traordinary piece of business on your
part
do as you please said Turner
DO as you please"
After a few days Sir Robert called
again upon the great painter "Mr.
Turner, he began, although thought
it very extraordinary thing for you to
raise your price, l shall he proud to buy
that picture, and am prepared to give
you the 600 guineas."
"Ah." said Turner. 1T was 600 gum
cas-, but today it's 100"
Sir Robert grew angry, and Turner
laughed. II was only in fun he said
II don't intend to sell the picture at all
1t shall be my winding sheet"
For years he kept it in his cellar.
Then it was brought up and hung in
his gallery, where it remained as long
as he lived. When he died he left it to
the nation.

Musical Feat.

One of the fastest composers that
ever lived was Trotere, the writer of
songs. Some of the composers feats
verge on the marvellous 1t is said, for
example, that he actually wrote the
score of 'In Old Madrid and had
dropped it into the letter box within
eight minutes of the time he had taken
up his pen. This would be remarkable
merely as showing his dexterity and
agility, to say nothing of the labor of
the composition itself.

FASHIONS FIFTY YEARS AGO.
When Caps and Aprons Were Worn
Even With Evening Gowns.

Fifty years or more ago the apron
and the breakfast cap were the pride
and joy NJ every matron, for they were
her sign and symbol. The cap of that
time was an elaborate and dainty af
fair. 1t was worn with the house dress
and often. much trimmed, throughout
the afternoon and evening. Aprons.
evidently an important feature of ev-
cry woman's wardrobe in those days,
were decidedly fancy, and usefulness
was not strong point in their con-
structiOn.
According to an old copy of Godey's
Lady's Book. aprons were made of
such materials as black silk and satin
and were trimmed with lace and vel
Often these ruffies were scalloped.
They were also cut in strange shapes,
and a final touch was added by sewing
on lace pockets and few bows. The
same old fashioned book in "Chitchat
on the Fashions For November" says:
Aprons. or simulated aprons, are the
folly of the day. They are likely to
have as popular reign as in the time
of Queen Charlotte, when Beau Brum-
mel deposed them from their high es-
tate by deliberately before all the peo-
pie assembled taxing off the apron of
duchess and finging it behind one Of
the settees at a, ball given at the as
sembly rooms at Bath. Aprons were
made then. as now, of costliest lace.
and enormous sums were spent upon
This article of dress. The latest novelty
is a depth Of silk not more than twelve
inches, to which is added founce of
lace equally wide, but narrowed at the
sides. Of course this style will in time
give way to large aprons What is use

lasts for a considerable time'-Chris-

.rO OILY WEEK or Passion Week,

W OILY WEEK or Passion Week,
IL upon which we are now enter
ing, is a dreary social desert,
beyond which stretches the
green country of all the rest OF the
year when Lent does not exist. All
the devout people who have been OBJ
serving Lent very strictly, yet ind
ing time to entertain at all occasional
luncheon or dinner party, will this
week retire to their prayer closets at
such times as they are not engaged in
wholly worthwhile and serious occy-
pations such as attending meetingsof
worthy, organizations or, rolling
bandages for the warning nations Of
Europe or for use when we send our
own beloved boys where they. too,
amay need to be swathed III bandages.
In San Francisco, we are told, a
pretense Of keeping Lent was made
at first. The social single was,
iguratively speaking, drawn in. But
along came so many delightful visit
ors that they had the same effect on
the social practitioners as does pa
tient with raging toothache on a
tender-hearted dentist. Social life
was resumed post haste. Little teas
and luncheons, informal affairs be-
cause we are observing Lent" were
soon discarded and the season was
again in swing.
New York is said to be observing
Lent, but then how much does that
mean when every social nail that is
not firmly driven in its place gravi-
tates to New York as to a magnet:
Washington is slowing down bit,
but as much because Of the adjourn
ment of our great and good legisla-
tive body as for any other reason. 1t
is merely taking a short siesta before
it resumes its sport at the evening
time OF the social year.

Turing this week should be the true

religious as you choose and you
will be wholly in keeping with the

attending the special services which

One match between popular girl, a
talented musician, who is the daugh-
ter OF a. prominent physician, and the
son of Judge, which has been in the
making ever since high school days,
will reach its elimination on April "a.
For another wedding which will
take place on Easter Monday plans
for the wedding breakfast were heard
of long before the names of the prin-
cipals were learned. That wedding
will be accompanied by at least two
other Easter Monday weddings. Both
of these have been previously herald
ed and long anticipated. On that day
Miss Ruth Gould will become the
bride OF Mr.. Warren Howard and
Miss Harriette Dixon Of North Platte
will wed DR.. Frank NJ. Conlin Of

ley has decided that the time OF her
wedding will be early in May, but
has not yet chosen the day.
On dit that a very interesting en-
gagement is TO be announced on Eas-
ter Sunday. For the occasion there is
to be a grand gathering OF the clan
in that household. The maid is one
of large family, the man is promi-
nent young physician.

be made known has been aided and

week OF penance is over the weddings
will pop up as thick as Easter rabbits
in the green spring grass. Every
where you go you hear OF weddings

makers particularly do women con-
gregate, for every woman must have
a new spring outfit and the brides
and their maids and matrons must
have elaborate gowns and outfits.
