A stickler for the good old ways,
which we all admit to be the best,
dropped in from church to see &
young woman who was a writer.
To the great surprise and horrov of
x the dear old lady, the writer was at
work. -The cheery click-click o!
the typewriter sounded from her
den. f
"Oh, my dear girl," exclaimed the
shocked caller, "you have not so far
"forgotten your early training as te
be composing on Sunday?"
"Oh, my dear, only jokes?and
they art all jolsas on religious cud*ecte."

to be a meeting of the trustees at
the public library building this evening
at -o'clock. Von may go and
cover it. Make a story of about 400
words oat of it."
The new reporter went awav on
his assignment, and the chief of the
local department turned again to
his desk, made an entry in the assignment
book that lay before him
and dismissed the matter from his
mind About 11 o'clock, however,
he suddenly called out:
"Where's Whittles*?"
"Here, sir/' answered that young
man, coming forward.

*" The dumb waiter shafts and the various
holes through floors and ceilings
for steam and water pipes seem
to make the whole building a sort
of universal smell conductor in
which no cooking odor is lost, in
which all odors come to all.
"And so if anybody in the building
has roast turkey we know that,
but so, alas, do we know it full well
if anybody has corned beef and cab-^age
or onions or fish. There is,

IN A NEW LIGHT.
How a Different Point of View May I
Change the Whole Aspect.
Discontent or satisfaction with an
object often depends entirely on the
way in which it is regarded. A difference
in the point of view changes
the whole a-pret. This truth is'
well illustrated l?v a pleasing little
incident of Kobert Dale Owen's i
childhood, told by himself in j
'"Threading My Way:''
Near the i.-ola;e?l country scai j
where I spent my boyhood there was i
a footbridge hut little more than ai
mile away. For the first ten years j
of my life 1 was forbidden to crossit,
end until then 1 never walked!
on the turnpike road.

over the ! ri Ige and to the other j
side of the river. This was blissful !

"Oh, I ?m so glad! There must

Vix'd Metaphor.
Edwin Markham at a dinner said
of mixed metaphors: **When I ua?
teaching in lx>s Angeles I used to
read every week a little countr; paper
whose editor's metaphors were
an unfailing joy to me. Once, I remember,
this editor wrote of a contemporary,
'Thus the black lie issuing
from his base throat becomes
a boomerang in his hand and, hoist

said in an article on home life, The

| standing at the door welcomes the
master home with an honest bark.'
In an obituary of a farmer. he
wrote: 'The race was run at last.

Just as he clasped the beautifal
girl in his great strong arms a
strange man came out ana stood beside
them, looking exceptionally
foolish and idiotic, due possibly ts
his embarrassment
"Pardon me," he said. "The
playwright had more epigrams than
he could put in the mouths of his

them. I'll be as quick as I can.
You understand my position, of

"Oh, dear, yes!" they replied as

"Tote" is good English on higher
authority than that it is a colloquialism
which has become engrafted
into our language. It k AngloSaxon

Anglo-Saxon Dictionary,
London, edition of 1852, thus: 'Tote

A Ne Methodist Church.
At :t recent church conference i
in the Methodist church the pas- i
tor. Rev J K Muliaffey, was re- (
quested to appoint a committee
of inquiry into the question of
building a new Methodist church
in Kiuji'stree. The committee
was announced last Sunday and

night. With ten members present
this committee was called to
order in the Methodist church at
8 o'clock. P H Stoll was elected
chairman with A G Hinds
secretary, and the pastor made
a brief statement of the object
of the meeting.
/After careful inquiry into the
entire situation, in which all the
members present took an interested
part, it was unanimously
agreed that the Methodists of
Kingstree should at once undertake
the buildflng of a new
church, costing not less than
$12,OW), and they recommend
that a ways and means com
mittee be appointed to this end.
The report of this committee
will be submitted to the church
conference next Sunday morning
for further action and a full
attendance of all concerned is
confidently expected.

A weak stomach means weak
stomach nerves, always. And this
is also true of the heart and kidneys.
It's a pity that sick ones continue to
drug the stomach or stimulate the
heart and kidneys. The weak nerves,
not the organs themselves, need this
help. This explains why Dr
Stoop's Restorative has, and is
promptly helping so many sick ones.
It goes direct to the cause of these
diseases. Test this vital truth, and
