CHILDREN S SERVICE Children's Service was Held st Union Chapel Church Last Eevsning. | One of the best, if not the best program was given in the Union Chapel phurch lust evening Some of the liuI' St drills were given by the children, 'and also some of the larger pupils u.' the Bunday school. The drilling > f the participants seems to have been complete, and the children certainly did the church credit in tlie spirit lid manner in which they followed out the various parts. The program was >eplete with patriotic selections in both song and other ex'-rreises. in keeping with the patriotic spirit of the tim< s The house was tastefully decorated.' and t also showed the patriotic trend of ( thought of the present times. The American flag, a very large one. was spread on the wall us a back-ground for the stage, anti the stars and strii es were abundant in other parts of Lie room. Some splendid drills were giv' )i by children carrying flags, about ’•« of them, and waving them tastefully in the march. A splendid drill was given by a number of young men and young ladies draped with large sashes of the stars and stripes. The house was crowded with an appreciative audience and the. entire front yard was crowded with those whe were not able to gain admittance to the church. Quite a number of United Brethren from this city were in attendante. This is one of the country chtircl.es where the membership take intere t. and spend time to make the servic -s of the church interesting. It is one of the few country churches that can boast or a Sunday school attendance above tlie hundred mark. It has a front rank Sunday school. —Contributed. o — SUMMER SCHEDULE BEGINS The summer schedule began at tue St. Marys Catholic church this morning.

I know not what profit there may be in the study of history, what value in the sayings of wise men. or in the recorded experience of the past if it lie not to guide and instruct us in the present. —Benjamin Disraeli. Curious and Useful Plant Family. The nightshade family. Sohunnacad, is a most curious and useful one, for aside from the tomato, potato and tobacco sections, many of the plants yield poison, yet close species are edible us the ground cherry, chili pepper, eggplant, pepluo, melon pear, etc. Good in Various Vegetables. Potatoes nre said to improve the hair, which may account for the wonderful bends of hair in Ireland. Celery and lettuce are aids for the nerves and cucumbers and carrots affect the complexion beneficially. Good Work Done by Amateurs. Do not leave experiments with plants to professionals. Much of the be#t work In the improvement of plants and flowers has come through file work of nmnteurs. The latter class traveling abroad have also been first to send valuable plant introduction to the home land. Characteristics of Famous Men. When I meet a famous man I not* that all lie has Is n little sense, a little politeness and a disposition to look after things. Many famous men nre very ordinary, except that they nre unusual in the respects noted. —E. W. Howe’s Monthly. Herman Haag was a Fort Wayne business visitor today.

Seventy miles of torture, to forward the freedom of men. For some In the Congress were Tories and other, too timid to dare, So Rodney must ride that his vote might decide the ballot of Delaware. Neck by neck through old Dover they galloped, and Rodney bent low to bis task. It was gray in the East when he tarried to cover his face with the mask.

A woman screamed loud at the vision, but Rodney was riding again. Though, beneath him, the back ot his horse was a rack to torture ths bravest ot men. Great weariness came upon Rodney. He galloped as one in a dream; But lightning-like pains broke his trances as rocks break a mountain stream. Somewhere, in the misty morning, his comrade faltered and tell. Them e rode at hls side, with a long silent stride, a Shape that Rooney knew well. The tropical heat-haze closed round him, the Veiled and the wraith at his side, 4t Inns and by-lanes he l.anged horses, then, on with the furious ride. A’eakness at last made him falter. He fed and then slumbered awhile. 3ut the will was so strong that the rest was not long, for the goal still laymany a mile. And then he came Into the city, the halfTory town of Penn.

Down Passyunk Road he galloped, past wondering women and men. ■lls veil streamed, a pennon of Freedom, and his limbs hung like bags ofs-rd; tut the horse he bestrode knew the turns of the road and needed no guiding baud. 3o to the State House came Rodney, merely the shell of a man. z .ere McKean met and bore him as gently as only a sturdy friend can.
