HIS WIFE'S RIGHT.\
Who Looks Ador His Wile's Enltymont
I ls Indignant at Thoso Who Do Nt:*
A company of men at a cornor
grocery down in "Missoury" woro
speaking of tho rights ot wives, when
ono of them said :
"It's a shaine tho way somo mon
treat their wives. I know husbands
who think their wives aro ontitlcd to
no consideration whatever, and who
treat them very little better than
Borvnnts. They keep them at work
all the time, never spend any money
on them if they can possibly help it,
and never allow thom to go away
from homo on a visit or pleasure trip.
Such mon arc brutal, ami it's a pity
they have wives."
"That thar's mighty p'intedly sen
sible talk, now, mister," agreed an
old fellow from '1*081101 Ridge, who
had been an interested listener. "I

remarked.

A Bishop's Story.
One of thc Southern bishops en
joys telling tho following story ou
his own daughter : Strongly imbued
with her father's doctrine, she had
grown up a Btriet Episcopalian and
bad never attended a revival or
camp meeting in ber lifo, although,
as her. younger brother remarked,
"The woods were full of them."
When she was about IC sho went
to visit an old friend of her mother
in New York, and her hostess, after
much persuasion, pre vailed on ber
to go to hear Tom Harrison, tho
famous boy evangelist.
"But, Mrs. Burnett," Bbc had finally
objected, "suppose ho should Bpcak
to me. I'd bc BO frightened I
shouldn't know what to say."
"Why, Virginia," her hostess had
replied, "thc church will bc so
crowded that nothing is moro un
likely than ho should single out
cither one of us."
But thc girl's fears were r'-ali/.cd.
As the great preacher left thc pul
pit and passed down tho aisle, ex
horting lirst this ono, then that ono,
ho paused at thc pew where tho
bishop's daughter was seated.
"My dear child," he said earnestly,
"are you a Christian ?"
"N-no, sir," she replied, "I'm an
ICpiseopalian."
With a twinkle in his eye the
evangelist passed on without ano
ther word.-Detroit Freo PreBS.

question of hiring a preacher carno
up for discussion.
At tho last meeting of this society,
when tho subject was brought up, a

"All those in favor of retaining El

the same salary-will please rise."
?fot a person rose, and the minister,
who^was'present, folt as uncomfor

good deacon who bad put thc ques

twinkle of tho eye :
1 sec no ono favors that motion,
so I will put it again in this way :
.'All those in favor of keeping Uov.
Mr. Ilagcman at an increase of sal

It- would have lost one of thc most
beautiful pictures of homo life tba

was piety in that home. It was ?
home of prayer and praise. Th<
Bible was more than an ornament ot
thc parlor table-it was tho dail;
bread, in a spiritual sense, of Luther'
household. Thc singing of hymm
which played so prominent a part it
spreading the Reformation doctrines
was a daily occupation. Luthe
believed in making melody wit!

was tho best lash with which I

Thc picture beautifully represent
this feature of his ho.-io life-a fen

But one of thc rare beauties i
Luther's character was absence c
gloomy, long-faced piety. Ili'sspiri

What Doos Your Father Say?
A school teacher's experionoo is
often laughable, and many interest
ing stories can bo told by thom. An
Abbeville teaohor who has chargo of
a country school told us recently of
a little boy in tho school who could
not learn tho letter "g." Every other
lottor in the alphabet was perfoctly
plain to him, but ho could not learn
to say "g." To mako it clear tho
teacher asked tho little fellow what
his father said when ho finished plow
ing a furrow and wanted the mulo to
turn round. The youngster an
swered up brightly, "Why ho says,
'haw, daniii_you.' " ?

One summer day when he was

Bishop Vincont. "Wo aro to havo

said Bishop Vincont, "by ono"
And then tho bishop paused. Tho
audience roared. When tho laughter
had subsided tho bishop continued,
"-of tho wisest mon in Amorioa."
Dr. Henson arose immediately and
said : "I nm not half so big a fool as
Bishop Vincont"
And then thoro waa another whoop
from tho audience. When tho
laughter again quieted down Dr.
Henson continued,
"-would have you think."

good reason to bo apprehensive of
