Flescher, Home From Conference. ! “There was no possibility at any stage of the conference of this dis- | trict being divided again,” said Rev. C. H. Flescher, who witb his wxie,\ bas returned from a week in Fergus| Falls where he attend:d the Northern | Minnesota conference of the Metho- dist church. “A year ago,” continued Mr Flescher, “The Brainerd district was merged with the adjoining southern district and it is now known as the This arrange- ment seems an improvement and probably will not soon be changed. ““Our conference, which came to a close Monday morning, was a splen- did meeting and much imponant: business was transacted. There were .0 changes of ministers in this vicinity and Rev. McKee was con- tinued as district superintendent. “We showed progress in our funds| for the care of retired ministers and those of this district are now assured | $8 for every year they have done active service. The average salary in this district is $700 a year and we can now assure those ‘orced to re- linquish their active duties about half that sum each year. There is provision made for special cases.” A Nice Distinction. He was bhurrying for the trainm, somewhat impeded by a clumsy crate ! containing a large live turkey. As he approached the gate the guard stopped him with a gesture. “You can’t take that through here.” he said. “That'll have to be checked or go by express.” “But 1 can't stop,” declared the passenger. “I've got to get this train.” And he tried to push through again. The guard beld him back. “That is baggage.” be said firmly, “and it must go in the baggage car.” *Oh, no," replied the other, with a charming and contident smile; “it's luggage. Doun’'t you see I'm lugging 1t?" And be bad slipped by before the astonished guard bad caught his breath.—Youth's Companion, Circumstantial Evidence. Even the clearest and wmost perfect circumstantial evidence is likely to be at fault, after all, and therefore ought to be received with great caution. Take rhe case of any pencil sharpened by any woman. If you have witnesses you will tind she did it with a knife, but if you take simply the aspect of the pencil you will say she did it with ber teeth.—Mark Twain, Ultra Practical. “I potice,” said a busband who was reading a lengthy letter which his wife bad written and bad banded to bhim for perusal., “that you have made a stupid o 1ke. You have written ‘mirage’ instead of ‘marriage.’” “Either will do.” replied the lady. “They both signify an illusion.” Social Slights. “Mrs. Jangle says she can remember when that fashionable Cumrox family didn’t know where the next meal was coming from.” “Well,” replied Miss Cayenne, “it’s evident she didn’t invite them to dine with her then, so there’s no reason why they should invite her now.”’— ‘Washington Star.

Tennyson on one oceasion on board the royal yacht, at the request of the then Princess of Wales, read - “The Grandmother.” *1 read it,” said Ten- uyson, “in a cabin on deck.

The wind came through an open window, and the princess whispered. ‘Put on your hat, but I said I ought, if possible, to make my- self balder rhan ever before so many royalties. She said again, *Oh, put it on! so I did. and | heard afterward that the king of Denmark’s court fool, who was in the background (they really kept a court fool), remarked, ‘He may be laureate, but he bas .not learned court manners.” When [ was done the ladies praised me, and I pat- ted the unknown une on the back by way of reply, and presently-I' found out she was the émpress of Russia?* “Had you any talk with the czar?" “Hardly any.

So he rushed to a tap. which wus fortunately close at hand. and put his tongue under the runoing water. Never as long as he lived, he said, would be forget that poisvning sensation.—(Cbambers' Journal. A Way Man Has. | A man who will sit up all night and display marvelous agility of the fin- gers in operating a pack of cards finds that he has bands like an elepbant’s feet when he is asked to hook up or button up his wite’s gown. This fact I8 observed time and again and is one of the popular bits of philosophy to be served in connection with a dressmak- ers’ convention desiring public atten- tion. That it is a more difficult under- taking to shuffle the deck and deal a poker hand—merely as a test of digital cleverness without taking into consid- eration the more important item of dealing a satistuctory hand—than to hook up a gown even when the eyes are hidden in the lace must be admit- ted. That a man will undertake the one cheerfully and the other churlish- ly must be ascribed to the survival of the Old Nick in most male humans.— Chicago Tribune, Armies In Old Testament Times. All through ancient history oriental armies had no sentinels, and thus in the Bible King Saul when be was pur- suing David slept without any guard. so that David stole up to where the king lay asleep and took the cruse of water at his head with him (I Samuel. xxvi). A striking illustration of this was when Alexander the Great. ac- companied by his chief officers, enter- ed the lines of the Persian army the night before the decisive battle of Ar- bela and found that there was not one of the sleeping host who observed them. We can readily see, therefore, that a panic might occur by a sudden night attack on an army so carelessly guarded and that Abraham’s company might easily have taken advantage of this.—Dr. William Hanna Thomson in Designer. Painfully Frank. Miss Oldgirl—Here are some new pictures I had taken, but they are per- fect frights. The photographer I went to is no flatterer.

Three hundred years ago the busi- ness of finding out witches was well established and accepted in courts of law as highly proper. In 1649 it is re- corded that the magistrates of New- castle, England, sent to Scotland for an expert witch tinder. This gifted person proceeded to show his skill by discovering tifteen witches and secur- ing their conviction. One Matthew Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder of that period. It was easy to discover witches yv'heh you knew how. The sus- pected person could be forced to weep and then detected by the well known fact that a witch could shed only three tears. and those from the left eye. or she could be pricked with pins to dis- cover the spot myspnsll)le to puih. which was a sure sign of dealings with the devil. That women were far more likely to dabble in witcheraft than men was conceded. The reason was satisfactorily explained by a famous German text book on witches published in the fifteenth century. It was sim- ply that women were inherently wick- ed, whereas men vaturally inclined to goodness. The Coyote. The coyote is the little brother of the Indian. When the buffalo vanished from the plains the Indian shot his rifle into the air, wrapped his blanket closer about him and came into the reservation to grow fat and unpictur- esque under federal auspices. When the jack rabbit and molly cotrontail vanish from the plains and foothills the howl of the last coyote will sink into silence beyond the great divide. Until that far day arrives, however, hang the bacon high, for while the rab- bit remains the most skillful four legged torager the world ever knew will bay at the moon by night and just kéep ‘out of rifle range by day. The coyote knows more about traps than a Capadian “voyageur,” is an expert on strychnine and never falls for the deadfall. He is rather fond of lambs and calves, but rabbits are the oat- meal of this phantom highlander, and, a8 “Diamond Field” Jack Davis would say. “where two or three of these are gathered .together there you will find the coyote, seeking to stow one of them into -his midst.”—Pbiladelphia Tele- graph. - po i e When a Burglar Calls at Night. f a burglar breaks into your house at night don't try to corner him,” said an old headquarters policeman. *If the visitor awakens you make noise enough to scare him away, but don't go after him wh’h a gun. Ten to one he’ll ‘get’ you before you can hit him. It's better to lose a few dollars’ worth of goods than your life. ['m giving it to you straight. The average man. waked up in the middle of the night, always badly frightened, hasn’t a chance agaiust the man with nerve enough - to “break into an ocenpied house. Every burgiar is a potential murderer and will shoot to kill if yon try to cateh him. And why not? He's got a big. long term in prison staring him ip the face if be's nabbed. and be’ll take a chance on murder every time to get away. Leave the capture of such gentry to the ‘cops.’ They're paid to be sbhot at; you ain't.”—Kansas City Star. The Normans. The Normans were Northmen or, to be more precise, the descendants of Northmen, who had been expelled from their pative Norway in conse- quence of an effort on their part to subvert its institutions and to make its lands hereditary instead of being divisible among all the sons of the former owner. A band of expatriated outlaws and robbers, they won and beld the fair province of northern France, which they named Normaindy. after their native land. When they invaded England they were French- men only in the sense that they had lived for some generations on French soil. In blood they belonged to the great Germanic breed, along with the Anglo-Saxons, Danes and other Scan- dinavian and German peoples.—New York American. Why She Was Silent. A very silent old woman was once asked why it was she had so little to say. She replied that when she was a young girl she was very ill and could pot talk for u long time, whereupon she made a vow that if speech were given her once more she would never again say anything unkind of any- body. And thus she was as they found ber.—Exchange. The Soft Question.
