SUBSCRIPTIONS are pouring in for the Church of St. Thomas in New York, which is the religious home of some very rich people. In this connection an exchange observes with some bitterness that "it is not so easy to raise a few hundred for a mission chapel." Well, let us all do the best we can under the conflicting" and complicated circumstances which surround us. Let everybody be saved, if possible, regardless of expenses. Perhaps the money invested in St. Thomas is in a more suggestive field of redemption than it would be if sent to the heathen.

THE name of Hon. Montgomery Marsh is being mentioned in connection with the race for the nomination for mayor on the Democratic ticket.

THE man who tells his party of its mistakes and weaknesses at the proper place and time is its true friend.

Bookkeepers, Stenographers and Office Assistants In Great Demand.

The Diary Record of the Central Business College, which is open for inspection, shows that during the months of June and July, in response to eightythree calls received for clerical help, forty students were recommended to positions, leaving forty-three good positions offered. with no Centra! Co!lege students iu evidence to recommend. Why is the demand for students of this school double the supply while the demands of other so-calied business colleges cannot procure employment? liecause, this is a high-grade Business College, one of the very best the country. The work done in this school meets precisely the requirements for up-to-date office work'. The motto of the school, which is carried out to the letter, is "To prepare young people for up-to-date cilice practice and when prepared to procure for them suitable clerical employment." This school has the confidence ot the business public and the patronage of the best business firms of this and surrounding cities.

Besides the spacious quarters we have occupied during the summer months, we now find it necessary, owing to the increased attendance, to procure an additional space of 90x00 feet. This, undoubtedly, gives us the largest and finest-equipped, busness college in the state of In diana.

The annual opening of the college will occur on Tuesday, September 5. Any person desiring it ma3' have one week's trial free. This will afford ample time to test the merits of this institution.

For full particulars address A. R. Whitmore, Mgr., Central Business College, 020 Century Building, 80 South Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis.

WAS SHE DEMENTED?

(mysterious Actions of Woman Agent at DeArmond Hotel led to That Conclusion-

Shelby vilie Republican Joe Hitt, the proprieter of the DeArmond Hotel, is much puzzled over the strange actions of one of his women guests. Mr. Hitt is a good judge of human nature, but he has not been able to settle to his own satisfaction whether Mrs. P. M. Johnson was a fraud or whether she was demented.

A woman giving this name and claiming that her home was at Donnelsville, Georgia, registered at the hotel Saturday afternoon. The same night she was found unconscious in her room, and it took nearly two hours to awaken her. She had drank a half pint of whiskey and had taken a drug. She claimed that she sprained her ankle several days ago and took the whiske3* and drug to ease the pain, and not with suicidal intent. She claimed to represent a Masonic publication, and told several conflicting stones. It devoloped later that she had left hotels in Greenfield and Shelbyville without paying her board.

A telegram came for her at Shelb3rville on Saturday stating that money would follow the telegram. She went to the station to go to Shelb3Tville this morning but boarded an east bound train. The woman showed refinement and culture and claimed to be the daughter of an ex-governor of Georgia.

The above was taken from the Greensburg News. The woman has not yet made her appearance at the Hotel Ray, this city. She secured he I]) from the Kastern Star lodge of Greensburg,

stating that

she

wished to get back to Shel 1 3'vi lie. Instead she went east and is now in Morris or was 3'esterday evening.

Of the (litiii-iill ios in the of Persia a traveler writes: "The words one uses in Idler are almost entirely different from those used conversationally, and

those

in an ordinary

prose liistoi-y are a train different. Then it is almost impossible to dislin^uis',1 the lenses, and. Insll.v. (he adiective Is irenerally iudistiniruishaHe from the substantive, and the link between an adjective and the term winch it qualifies is the same as the sitrn of the possessive. For instance, the text, 'This is my beloved son.' may be read in the Persian Pi'ile "This is the son of my beloved.' without the slightest violence to the irrainmar."

OriKiii of Out" (irsivcyapd.

The family of a member of parliament' from Yorkshire has a private graveyard and has had it for several generations. The founder of it was a Quaker, and the rector of the parish in which lie lived said to him after a dispuf on religious matters: "Well, if you don't come to church when you are alive, you will when you are dead." But the Quaker thought otherwise and founded the burial place, which is used to this day.

A Popular IinnKiiiiRe.

"I've called half a luzen bell boys this inorninp, and they haven't brought a thing I've ordered," said the irate guest. "Are they all deafV" "Yes," explained the hotel clerk, "but they enn hear through the palms of their hands. Money talks, you know. It is the only lanj,ru ij,re they can understand."—Detroit: Free Press.

A Useful I'llrRKriifill.

Singleton (reading)—It is said that the last word in an argument is often the most dangerous. Wedderly—Would you mind letting me have that paper? Singleton—What do you want it for? Wedderly—I want to sl ow that paragraph to my wife.

Model Wiics.

In a wf3 ling sermon entitled "The Rib Restored." preached in St. Dionis Back church, Fenchmvh sttvel, in li by liichard Mc^got. afterward dean of Salisbury, the preacher thus defined a good wife: "A help she must IK* in her family, being not only a wife, but a houscwii\ —not a field wife, like Dinah, nor a troet wife, like Thamar. or a window wife, like .iezebel, but a housewife."

And another preacher about the same date, the Krv. Simeon Singleton, said that a wife should be at (nice like and unlike three things. •'First, she should be like a snail, always keep within her house: but she should not be l.tie a snail, carry all she has upon her back. Secondly, she should be like an echo, to speak when she is spoken to: but sh.' should not be like an echo, always to have the last word. Thirdly, she should be like the town clock, always keep time regularly: but she should, not lie like the town cioek, to speak so loud that all the town may hear her.'"— T. P.'s London Weekly.

For Her.

A Missouri contemporary rises to remark: "Once I was young, but now I am old, and I have never seen a girl that was unfaithful to her mother that ever came to be worth a one eyed burton to her husband. It is the law of iod. It isn't exactly in the Bible, but it is written large anil awful in the miserable lives of many unfit homes. I'm speaking for the boys this time. If one of you chaps comes across a girl that, with a face full of roses, says to you as she conies to the door, 'I can't go for thirty minutes, for the dishes are not washed yet.' you wait for that girl. You sit right down and wait for her, because some other fellow may come along and carry her off, and right there you lose an angel. Wait for that girl and stick to her like a bur to a woolly dog."—Kansas City Journal.

Curious Bird Ha1its.

It is a well known fact that if the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly the old ones will feed them attentively if the cage in which the little birds are inclosed is placed somewhere where the parents can reach it, and a popular but. erroneous belief is current that they do this for a time, and end by poisoning the young ones. This, however, is a mistake, the fact being that at a certain stage of a young bird's existence, when it. is naturally able to begin catering for itself, the parent birds, also quite naturally, cease to attend it. and then, if the hirdlings are shut up in the cage and their custodian has not thought of placing some food at their disposal they necessarily

die,

not from poison

administered by the parents, but iiom starvation.

Tiie StortliliiK.

Norway's legislative body is known as the storthing, which means the "great court"' and should be pronounced to rhyme with "courting." The second part of the word is identical with the English word "thing," as the Scandanavian languages, in common with Anglo-Saxon, have the same word for "thing" and "councii." In modern English a trace of the second sense survives in the word "hustings," which came to mean the public platform upon which a candidate appeared at election time, though originally the "busting" was the council at which the candidate was electi d. the "house-thing" or house council.

How Thennomefers

Are Minie.

A small glass tube Mown into a bulb at one end is partly filled with mercury. The mercury is boiled to expel the air and fill the tube with mercury vapor and then the tube is hermetically seaied and allowed to cool. The gradations are found as fo.lows: The instrument is immersed in ice water and the freezing pond is found and is marked. Then it is placed in water, which is allowed to reach the boiling point, and so 'JlL' degrees is found. The spans between are marked by mathematical calculations.

Monkeys :in! Knots,

The monkey's intelligence has never been able to arrive at a point which enables that animal to achieve the un•tying of a knot. You may tie a monkey with the simplest form of common knot, and unless the beast can break the string or gnaw it in two he will never get loose. To untie the knot, requires observation and reasoning power, and. though a monkey may possess both, he has neither in a suliicient degree to enable him to overcome the diliiculty.

a Hint.

School Director (to teacher)—We were Ihinking of having a nice motto framed rind put over your desk to encourage I he children. Mow would "Knowledge Is Wealth" do? Teacher—That: wouldn't do at all. The children know how small my salary is, and they might draw conclusions of their own.

Siilliv:in mid Rootli.

It is a pathetic as well as a humorous remark that Laurence Hut ton in his reminiscences attributes to John L. Sullivan. When the news came of the death of Edwin Booth the great tighter in sincere sornnv remarked, "Well, there are only a few of us left!"

Aitkiiis:' Too Much.

He With the Whiskers—Say, feller, why don't you wear two glasses instead of only one? ITe With the Monocle—Why. deuce take it, y' know, a fellah has to see, doesn't he?—Cleveland Leader

Never lie grandiloquent, when you want to drive liome the truth. Don't whip with a switch that has the leaves on it if yon want to tingle.—Beecher.
