Disagreeable Experience te Two In Sacred Edifice. The woman who had just purchased a "transformation" had a rather dis agreeable experience the first time the wore It to church. Happening to bow too low at one point of the aerr Ice. her bat slid off. carrying her wig with It and exposing the little wisp of hair which was all that was left of her natural crown of glory and which was screwed up in a most unbecoming fashion. A relative, kneeling beside her, madV a dive for the chapeau and succeeded In recovlng and replacing It before ita loss had been noticed. But the "transformation" had disap peared. After awhile a man In tte pew In front reached for his handker chief, which he bad placed Inside his hat on hassock. His hand became entangled In something which appar ently moved. It was the "transforma tion," but he thought only of mice, and gave vent to his surprise and dis comfiture in some tinnielodlous sound that greatly scandalized the congregation. I1AIR POHADE! Formerly known a Now U the time of year to swear off your bad habits. Let us make a new vow. We are glad the Negro business places are doing so well.

CALL AND BE CONVINCED. MRS. S. GRIFFIN, PROP. Heavenward! The late Rev. It. R. Howard, of Newton. Mass., a good old preacher ot the Methodist persuasion, officiated one day at a funeral at Auburndale, and at the close had a word of Inquiry and advice, as Is the local custom, With many of those present. Among others he approached a lady, stranger to him. who was visiting In the neighborhood, and. after shak ing hands, asked ber if she was on the way to heaven. "Yes," she promptly answered, "and if you come that way I should be pleased to have you call." The good old man. horrified at such eeming levity, turned away, without reply, when a friend, sitting near, re monstrated with Mr. . who, still more horrified at ber mistake, said she understood him to ask If she was on her way to Hudson, where she lived. tntimirrnil Kinr rami.

He shall stand with us throughout the u. of time. Pax Vobiscum: Peace be jou! With Us; Willi everyone; Trees. Possibly by reason of some mysteri ous defect in the national character Americans seem to have little appreci ation of the value of trecB. The des truction of f uresis has gone on apace for many years, and even now that the absolute necessity of protecting the re maining tracts is generally recognized, it Is only with great difficulty that legislation to this eud is secured. Al though the establishment of Arbor day has been regarded as an effective means for cultivating the appreciation of trees, there Is siill nothing like the sentiment there oukM to be against their wanton destruction. Just Missed It. An elderly woman who had, during ' the course of a somewhat eventful ' life, buried four husbands, encounter ed at the nates of the cemetery where they reposed an old but timid lover, whom she had not seen for ears. She took him Inside and showed him not without a feeling of pride the well kept tombstones of her former lords and masters. "Ah, James," she re marked, feelingly, "you might have been lying there today if you had only had a little more courage." Mr. Campbell is a splendid harac ter and in the Eighth Ward has aluas stood for the negro. We do not believe at this off year that there should be u change in the nllice of Sheriff.
