THE IUJLE5. ?
Tho club oicets once a month at 5
o'clock in the afternoon with one of its
members, usually at the residenca of the
thost- In its l'unotions it is both literary
and social. and one of its iron-clad rules
js that no snember is permiltcd to 1alk
sbop. At each meeting a paper is read
7>y some aicmbcr, previpusly designated.
The -writc-r of such paper is at libcrtj*
to select his own subject, and may write
on anythlng from a presidential election
to a iynching-bee in an outlying county.|
iHe may discuss politics, literature,
xeligion, temperance, or anythlng else
Chat he has a mind to, save and except
4hat he will be stoned with stones if ho
mukes any allusion whatcver to his last
tBunday's sernion, or brings into his dls
?oourse anythiiyr that he has been preach
Sng about "lt Ms a concelt ?f the club
that sermons are for the ediiication of
tho pew. Whether. in the estimatiun of
ihese gentlemen of the cloth sermons pre
viously preached are too good or too bad
for the r>uodecim Cu.b is not for me to
auy. I jsiniply give the rule.
j ' . WHAT THJ3Y READ.
j "''ASter this j>aj>er hafe been read there is
? book review. ' and each member U
lexpected to lell the club what he ihas
t>ecn readlng slnce the last meeting, and
mhMt he thlnks of the books he has read.
!JJE Jtfcere is- one partlcular book that

tcxt-books, but they study current events,
also, and when they get up to preach
they preacli as those who know pretty.
well what is going on in the worid. When
the discussion of books comes up, it Is
interesting to nolr the trciiJ of each
preacher's min-?. Take. for example, Rev.
Dr. Tudor, of the Methodist Church, and
Rev. Mr. Clark, of the Episcopal Church.
These two praachers are ncar neighbors
and the best of friends. and, in most re
spects, quite congenial. They read a great
u'eal. and when the bcoks of the month
a-re under review they can be counted
on to "have read thc latcst novels; that
is to say, the novels which are worth
reading, and flt to read. I -have heard
that they twere the iirst members of tho
ciub to read Quo Vadis. 1 do not know
what they thought of the book.
MAXY PREACHERS OF MAXY MIXDS.
" Rev. J- Calvin Stewart, who, by 'tho
way. is president of the club, reads very
closely the books on church doctrine.
Rev. W. B. Bcauchamp reads very closely
the works on practical religioiv Rev. Dr.
James P. Smith devotes a great deal of
his spare time to the reading of religious
biograph'es. n<? also reads everything
connectcd with the war between the
States. The reaciing of Rev. Edward
Leigh Pell as prlnclpaliy In the line of
Bible work. Rev. Dr. Mason reads every?
thing that he can get his hands on con
cerntng sociology?not socialism, but
religious sociology. in which he believes.

are general readers. Professor 'Mitchell
THK PJ3AR OF lll'MBUG
Picvcnts Many People Proin Tryins a
Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people ar?e apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent "cure for dyspepsia and indl
gestion. Many such pricm themselves on
their aculeness ln nwer being lium
bugged, especially in mediclnes.
This fear of being humbuggt-d can be
carrfrd too far, so far in fact, that many
people t'Uffer for years with wcak diges
t:on rather than risk a little thne and
money in faithfully testing the claims
madeof a preparation so reliable and unl
versally us*d as Sturafs Dyspepsia Tab
lets."
iXow 'Stuart's Dyypepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
the reason that they <ar,o not a s>ecret
patent medicine, no secret is made ot
their ingredients, but analysis shows them
to contain the na'tural digestive ferments,
pure aseptlc. pepsin. the-digestive acids,
Golden Seol, blsmuth, hydrasts and nux.
They are not cathartlc, nelther do they
act "powerfully on any organ, but they
cure indlgestion on ? the common sense
plan of - digesting "the f ood eaten thor
oughly beforeit bastime 4o ferment,
sour. and causethe mischl'ef. This is tho
only secret: of their success.
Cathartlc pllls never have and neyer
can cure Indlgestlori and stomach troubles
because they; act enttreily on the bowels,
wherens the wh,ole trouble ls really in the

works on science. religion, poetry, music,
and so on. Rev. Dr. Pitt is a newspaper
man, and, there.fore, a general reader.
FtLOW OF THE SOUL.
After discussing books the members of
the club adjourn to the dining-room and
discuss things more substantial. It is
reported that they all have good appe
tites, and that they iknow as welll how
to feed themselves as to feed their
several flocks. They despise hash. They
do not indulge in strong d'rink. But they'
love' the pure food which a generous
Cr'rJtor has given. They eat it witli a
relish, and after supper most of them
."will smoke one or two cigars to the glory
of ;God.
I forgot to taention another and one
of the most important rules of the club.
