"I'm the international and intercolonial peacemaker, says Mr. Itt, who was a little, sandy, dried-up man. "I make peace. Bring on your quarrels. Now!" "Why don't he try to make up between Jim Barnes and his wife?" shouted one of the wags. Bu Mr. Itt took a serious view of the situation. "rnuir. rr inlrn lnfllPS and

And as the days went by and Mr. Itt remained, it certainly seemed that an improvement had come to Surbiton.

made anlabrupt little dive into the

tent and pulled the flap to. I heard a murmur of voices inside, and I wondered whkher I had happened along when anclther couple was there. And V was still wondering when, to my simazement,"somebody put his hands ojver my eyes. And now my heart began to pit-a-pat. Yes, it was George. "I'm sä sorry, sweetheart," he said. "I see tfow wrong I was to dance twice wjith Florence Smith. I'll never look at her again. Mr. Itt persuaded me that I had been a fool. "Won't you forgive me, dearest?" Well, I was considerably hurt, but then I felt something being squeezed

over my finger, and it felt like that half-hoop of diamonds, which I had loved so much, and which I liad intended to have enlarged the day bofore I gave it back to George. So

what could I do? We had the happiest time there, and then we decided that we ought to thank Mr. Itt. It seemed too wonderful to be true. So we went up to tho tent and called." Mr. Itt seemed to be scolding somebody, I thought, and he didn't hear my voice. I wanted to thank him and so I opened the tent door. And who do you think were inside? Uncle Will and Miss Barrett. Uncle Will was on his knees be- - i ji

EFFISRSON CITY, MO. Drinking is going out of fashion among Missouri's men of affairs. Here an Incident that shows how drinking has lost favor among tho classes that used to. transact much of their business around tho famous Madison house bar.

Tho gonoral counsol of ono of Mis sourl's largest railroads asked an acquaintance to 'go In and have a toddy. (And tho Madison toddy has had a reputation in its day.) "Sorry, not drinking any more," the acquaintance replied. "You're tho fifth man I've asked in tho last hour to go in havo a drink who has refused 'because he isn't drinking any more' " the counsel snid.

"Sit down. Let's see how many go into the bar. The two sat down and watched for a half hour. Ton years ago the crowd wouldn't have been in the lobby. It would have been at the bar. Five years ago, even, the bar would havo been the favorite congregating spot for such a gathering as that. The half hour passed. Not a single ono of all the crowd went into the bar. The men did their visiting and their "milling" in the lobbies over their . i , m -r s rtJM it 1 o i f i n er lief Thnt PnTlfllflon

It existed at all the bars of the capital city. So lamented the men who had been mixing "presbyterians" and "soutneasters" for Missouri statesmen for a generation. As the general counsel remarked after his half hour vigil over the barroom door: "Times certainly have changed even in Missouri." They have. J. Barleycorn still has his politicians, scores of them, but as for personal acquaintance even in Missouri they are striking him off the approved visiting lists.

been established by Mrs. Rumsey Jenness, wife of the new pastor of the Tremont'

Street Methodist church, in the parlors

of that edifice, at West Concord and Tremont streets. The courtship meetings are held usually Wednesday and Sunday evenings. They are made more interesting by a so-called "chocolate pot," that is, chocolate is served to the young folk, and also a light supper. This courtship center is the very latest thing of its kind in Boston, if

not in the world. It is just what u -. -. -1 3; 1

announces itself to be. More than one nunarea young men, liiciuuing a ldigo

number of Tech and Harvard boys and more than one hundred girls, numbering among them many from the Emerson College of Oratory and the New England Conservatory of Music, are already attending the courting meetings. Mr. Jenness' motto is, "Give the young people a chance." "I believe in bringing them together and then in letting propinquity do the rest," she. says. Cupid in the church is well placed. Where could there be a more fitting place for young persons to carry on their love affairs? "We have introduced a great many young men and young women, and each of the five hundred active workers of the church has been invited to come to the 'chocolate pot' gatherings and bring a friend." The courtship gathering idea, according to the minister's wife, 5s only one of a number being planned by the original pastor and his wife for making the Methodist church center a center of community interests tor the ten thousand persons within the Tremont Street church district.

The vocational school idea is spreading and extending through the civilized world, with the result that it brightens the prospects of youth and heartens young people with the knowledge that they will enter upon their career with some technical acquaintance with and some manual dexterity in those lines of

work in which the world stanas constantly in need of workers.
