This is the week during which every church organist, church choir lead rr, and church conductor of music generally takes time to take q rest. The hardest time of the year is in the past, for every church organist makes Of Easter the biggest day in his annual calendar, causing it to vie with Christmas in thc production of pacans of glory. After il is over they feel in need of 2 vacation. Some of them take it, in one form or an~ other.

Tho worst seems to be feared in Chicago on the morrow. No city election of modern times ia being anticipated with greater forcbodings of disaster.

"It is quite smplc,' sh" said, as she pockctcd her tee. You must change the name.' But it has been 'Thc Golden Lion for years" he replied.
 You must change the name. she urged. You must call it The Eight Bells and you must have q row of seven bells as the sign.'
 seven? he said. "l'ut that's absurd. What will that do?'
 Go home and sec. said tho wise woman. So he went hom" and did as she told him.
 And almost immediately every tourist who was passing paused to count the bells, and then hurried into the inn to point out the mis- take. each believing himself to be the first and only one to notice if, and all wishing to cat and refresh themselves for their trouble.
 The result was that the inn keeper grew as fast as nosi of his kind, lost his health, and made his fortune.
