SAYS MAN CORNERING MARKET IS A THIEF

Socialism Is Denounced et Epworth League Convention. Seattle, July 9. —The movement to make the Epworth league more democratic and to take it out of the hands of the bishops and other dignitaries found expression in the international convention when Rev. Dr. J. H. Coleman, looking out upon the numerous gray heads in the audience said: “I don’t like this audience. There are too many old people—too many gray heads. The Epworth league should be young people. The place for the fathers and mothers should be in the prayer meetings in the church.” Dr. Choan of Toronto said: “If adopted, socialism would necessitate a quasi military system in industry. Every reform must have a religious basis. An industrial system with a secular foundation must fail. The doctrine that each man must look out for himself is atheism applied to business.

“The man who corners the market or in other ways takes advantage of the necessitites of his fellows is a thief and a robber.”

Endeavorers Select Atlantic City.

St. Paul, July 9.—At a prolonged meeting of delegates Atlantic City was selected as the place of next year’s convention of the Christian Endeavor society.

A Splendid Bluff.

Sir Walter Besant is said to have once settled a disputed cab fare in a novel manner. He drove from Piccadilly to some place In the suburbs outside the radius. On getting down he tendered to the driver 3s. 6d., which was a little over the proper fare. The man, however, wanted 5 shillings. Besant refused. ‘Td like to fight yon for it,” said the driver. “The very thing,” said Besant, who had never In his life put on a boxing glove and was almost as Ignorant as Pickwick even of the fighting attitude. “The very thing! Capital! We’ll have the fight in the back garden. My brother will look om hold the stakes and see fair.” The cabman got down slowly, ns if he did not quite care about it after all. He followed into the garden, where there was a lovely bit of green turf. Besant placed the 6 shillings in his friend’s hands, took off his coat and waistcoat and rolled tip his sleeves, all with an air of cheerful alacrity. “Now, my friend.” said he, “I am ready as soon as you are.” His anxiety was great, but it decreased as ha watched the cabman’s face express successively all the emotions of bounce, surprise, doubt, hesitation and abject cowardice. "No, no,” be said at last. “Gimme the three and six. I know yonr tricks, both of you. I’ve been done this way before.”—London Mail.

Solomon’s Temple.

The temple of Jerusalem was built by King Solomon B. C. 1000 and was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon B. C. 586. It was rebuilt by Zerubbabel B.

Humor and Philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

THE PROCRASTINATOR. We dilly dally all the day In idleness and song. And then we wonder why It is We do not get along, And when the day is at a close We idle half the night, And still we cannot comprehend Why things don’t work out right We sit serenely In the sun And whittle on a stick Or tune our little light guitar And simple music pick. And when the day comes to an end In looking at the score Discover we are only where We were the day before. We make resolves as to our rest We tumble In at night That on the day that’s Just ahead We’ll work with all our might, And when the morrow comes along We qulta forget to try. And It resembles to a T The one that’s Just gone by. And so we run our life along In planning to succeed. And If we drag a living out In luck we are indeed, And at the end we lay us down While eons roll away And rest as sweetly as the ones Who labored every day. A Setback. “Too bad about Joe.” “What's the matter?” “He sprained his arm, and they are afraid he never can pitch again, so his folks are going to make a doctor or something of that sort out of him.” Needs to Be Careful.

“that girl has a lot of money.” “Then she would better look out." “Why?” “She is likely to have a Job lnt of husbands if she doesn’t” Up to the Collector. Teacher—A man bought ten bushels of potatoes for 30 cents a bushel and sold them for 10 cents a peck. Did he gain or lose and how much? Willie (whose father was in business)—Depends on who he sold them to. He Lacks It Man wants a little here below. Well, I should truly smile. He wants a little, don’t you know. And wants It all the while. As Usual. “What’s the matter with her?” “You know she has always wanted the experience of being in love.” “Yes.” “Well, now she is In love, and she is mad about it” Somewhat Backward. “He doesn’t seem to keep up with the times.” “Not quite.’.’ “I suppose he will be learning to ride a bicycle next year.” Convincing. “He is a truly good man.” “Is he really?” “Yes; he admits It” PERT PARAGRAPHS. Ever notice how you suspect either ♦he motive or the sanity of the Individual who Isn’t avowedly after the $?

This Store Has A Pure Food Law Of Its Own jT APPLIES to every--1 thing, and everything must live up to the provisions of this law. YOU might think that soma things (canned goods, for Instance) would have to be taken on trust, but an observing grocer soon learns where each brand of these goods belongs, no matter what the labels may say, and acts accordingly. THE MORAL of all this Is that this might be a good place to come when you want pure food eatables. McFarland & Son RELIABLE GROCERS
