SETTING GOOD EXAMPLE.

The New Orleans priest, who seeing the in
decorous attire OF a bride walking down the aisle
of the church with her wedding party, ordered the
lights turned out and directed that the bride go
home and change her dress before the ceremony
could go on, performed a splendid service not only
to be approved by men. but one that should be
applauded by all right thinking womanhood.
Il may have been harsh measure, but the
who will enter a sacred house of worship
OF the principals in of the most i'm
portant, if not the most important sacrament,
attired, or rather unattired, to blush on
the cheeks Of the sensible of her has
little right to expect the exercise of leniency.
The action OF this New Orleans priest will do
bring this question of woman's dress be-
fore the people and it may be that a more general
discussion will show to these women who more
conspicuous for what they do not than for
what they do wear. that the real men and the
real women OF the country still admire the woman
who holds modesty as the greatest gem in her
keeIing.

More Truth

By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
A FORTUNE IN SIGHT.

Or try to dope a situation;
No more I'll stake my scanty chips
On any inside information.
I've found a seer on whom I'll bet
Ny modest roll with nerve un-
A prophet who was never yet
Mistaken.
A hen is shea simple hen
A bird devoid OF cerebellum,
AS shy OF wit as those young men
Who say necessarily, you tell

Has access to the best advices;
And vet she can fortell the trend

When eggs are due eftsoons to soar
To hitherto unheard of levels.
She doesn't lay them any more,
But spends her days in idle re-

But when a cheaper market looms,
She gets mysterious information
That eggs will drop, and she re-
sumes
Her occupation.
I know not what her methods are,
She seems intent on barnyard for
age;
And yet she senses from afar
The time when eggs will come
from storage.
And lay off laying till they're high.
When she becomes a worthless
Stacker.
