An’ if he does this, the joke would have been complete. But Old Coyote never wilts. He moves so quick no one eve: the darkened re- cess of his from which he lugs out that knife; the first news any of 'em gets is that, with the same breath where- in Peets puts the six-shooter on him Old Coyote's organized in full with a nine- inch bowie. 3 *‘ ‘Make' a ceénter shot, you..villyun!® roars Old Coyote, an’ straight as adders he la'nehes himse'f at Peets’ neck. ‘‘Son, it's the first an’ last time that Doc Peets ever runs.

The best thing about the whols play is, Old Coyote's a cripple; it's this yere element of lameness that a-way that lets Peets out. As it is, he can run thirty foot to Old Coyote’s one, an’' the result occurs in a splendid safety by the breadth of a ha'r.

Perhaps th ught to be some prohibi- tion in the > of headgear, but in_all the ‘churches I have attended in San Francisco there is so much room in the pews that pcople can spread themselves out and not be disturbed by anybody's hat. It is the inborn selfishness of hu- manity t makes each one rush to get thers and get everything to be had, re- gardless of other people.

Of course at the theater it is different. A play may be compl iled by soms woman's silly hat. But even there It i very inconvenient to take off one's h: and hold it, together with opera-glasse: fan and whatnot. If women are asked to take off their hats in_church, no doubt they will do it cheer- fully, but it will be a great nuisance. REV. WILLIAM KIRK GUTHRIE I think it i3 a very good thing for women to remove their hats. I think ona of the main principles of Christianity is to do unto others as you would that they should do to you, and certainly if you were behind a large hat and desired to see the speaker—a very important thing, as a sermon very often loses its force where you cannot see the speaker—you would certainly wish that hat removed. That’s the thought; and then if you make application of the prinefple, you would remove your own hat, for example is bet- ter than precept. And why should the theater and the secular lecture be ahead of the church in what is clearly a Chris- tian prineiple? The practice of putting' on your best clothes on Sunday is the development of a good principle, but nowadays it is car- ried rather too far and perhaps a rem cdy for the evil would be, Instead of re- moving the hat, to change the character of it. There are many styles of headgear that are simple, modest and inoffensive, and the clothes and appearance of a per- son should be of . that quiet character which accords with a spirit of reverence in the house of God. CHARLES WEBB HOWARD. It depends entirely on the arrangement of the seats. If they are so arranged that a woman’s hat discommodes any ome, I say yes; if not, I say no. And that ap- plies to all public audiences. Every one wants to see the speaker, and If a wo- "man’s hat Is so big that it makes others twist this way and that to see, then woman—I _use the word collectively— should be as willing to remove that which discommodes or inconveniences others as man is.
