With fifty gallons of Ice cream rolling hack and forth on the big- delivery wagrm belonging to the "Woodhull Ice Cream company, a team of frightened mules attached to the wagon raced frantically across the railroad tracks near State street and down the alley in the rear of the Monon hotel until they were forced to stop by a big moving van which stood in their path. The animals, which have a bad reputation for running away, became frightened at a passing train while they were standing at the Erie depot and before they could be stopped had endangered the lives of many pedestrians in the course of their mad flight. "When they were finally brought to a standstill after a race with Officer Hohman, in which they beat him to the finish by a narrow margin, it was found that no other damage had been inflicted beside tha breaking of the wagon tongue and the smashing of the garbage box in the rear or the Hammond building. One of the mules stopped so suddenly it was thrown to the ground, but was uninjured. AT TOWLE'S 0FEEA HOUSE. J. C.

Choir Curtain By VIRGINIA BLAIR. Copyrighted, 1!JC, by P. C. Eastinent. There had been an immense amount of Irreverence In the choir before the new soprano came. The tenor and the contralto and the bass and the old soprano had flirted from the opening anthem to the benediction, and as they were hidden from the congregation by a green baize curtain there had been no scandal, although certain members of the session had complained of weird sounds that had seemed to echo from the organ loft and die In the steeple. With the advent of the new soprano, however, came a different state of affairs. Both the tenor and the bass fell in love with her at sight, and the contralto, being forty and fat and fair, submitted comfortably to the newsinger's conquest and smiled on her in a way unprecedented in choir history, where the green eyed monster is supposed to rage rampant. The new soprano was not irreverent, and hence it came about that romance was succeeded by religion, and the tenor and the bass paid strict attention to the responses and to the sermon and !xnt their heads during prayers, although so earnest were the so prano's meditations that the bass was constrained now and then to glance at her and after intercepting the tenor's ardent observation would again seem wrapped in his devotions. At the time of the opening prayer the sun came through the rose window. A white dove spread his wings against the stained glass background, and as the soprano stood up for her solo he seemed to hover over her head, and her shining hair made a golden halo. "Oh, she's too good to be true," the bass told the tenor as they went home together one Sunday in May. - "She is perfect," the tenor declared iervently. "We are a lot of sinners, md she has come among us like a little saint to make us ashamed of ourselves." It was discovered after three weeks that the bass had given up smoking. THEY HAT) TEA ASD MCFFIX3, five weeks the tenor signed the pledge, and in six the contralto stopped bleaching her hair and came to choir practice with her head tied up in a veil to hide the inevitable discrepancies as to color. "She's a dear little thing," she confided to the bass. "She's poor and takes care of her mother." "I'll take care of them both," the bass declared ardently, "if she will let me." The tenor having made the same statement, the contralto carried the news to the soprano. "They are both in love with you, my dear," she whispered one Sunday morning when the green curtain had been drawn and the congregation had settled down comfortably to hear the sermon. "I'd rather not talk about such things In church if you don't mind," the so prano said gently, and the contralto agreed hastily and gave her earnest attention to the preacher. "But tell me one thing," the tenor said to the contralto conSdentially at choir practice, "how are we going to ask her? Her mother walks home with her after all the services, and she hasn't asked us to call, and she won't talk about secular things in church, and there you arel" "Is love a secular thing?" the contralto questioned, sentimentally. "She says it is," the tenor stated, "but I think it is divine." Things came to something of a climax when the soprano's mother was taken sick. "Now is your chance," said the contralto, all in a flutter, as she leaned toward the tenor. But the bass was already begging the privilege. 'I had hoped you might let me," the tenor said as he stumbled over two chairs to get to her. MWhy cot both of you? said the soprano. "It's on your way home, and jou will be company for each other . 1 u tte rest of the way." Qh I the aggravation, of her!"

groaned the tenor aa he went to get his hat, and the bass Bald things to himself in a dark corner. The soprano invited them in. and they found her mother sitting up la a big chair, and they had tea and muffins &erved by the angelic hands of the soprano, who seemed more desirable than ever in this setting of domesticity. 'We might as well meet It like men," the bass told the tenor as they went home afterward. "We both love her, and If we are ever going to get a chance to ask her one of us will have

to stay away next Sunday night, and the other one can take her home." "Well," the tenor agreed, "but how shall we decide who will take her?" "I'll toss a nickel," said the bass. "Heads I win." And he forthwith flipped one, and it turned up tails. "Just my luck," said the bass gloomily, "but If you have the good looks I have the brains, and I shall know how to plead my case when the time comes." The tenor was jubilant. "I shall have first chance," he said. When he talked to the contralto oa Sunday morning the bass was not sanguine. . "The tenor is young and handsome, and I won't be iu it." The contralto comforted him. "If I had the choosing I should pick you out," she said, and something in her voice made the bass turn and look at her. She had on her new summer hat, and her hair was prettily brown where it had grown out, and there was about her an effect of youth and jauntiness that belied her forty years, and that made the bass, with his weight of forty-five, feel old. "You are always my good friend," ue sam ana squeezed her hand ever so slightly as he rose to sing a duet with the tenor. In the solo part the tenor's voice rang out with such a note of triumph that the soprano cauglit her breath ns she heard it. It was as if he sang, "I love, love, love!" and yet the words were sacred. Within the breast of the little soprano something new stirred, something that was touched with the breath of divinity, so that it seemed no sacrilege for her to think of it in church. "How beautifully he sings!" she said to the contralto, and the contralto agreed, "Yes, dear," but her eyes were on the bass, who now took up the strain. When the tenor sat down, the 60prano whispered In the shelter of the curtain, "How beautifully you sang!" And the tenor said, "I sang to you," and between them flashed a glance that made the bass groan, and he murmured to the contralto: "The game is up. I have lost. They are talking love in church." "It's as good a place as any," said the contralto. "There's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream." She wiped her eyes as she said it, and the bass found himself asking, "Do you really think that young love is as steadfast as the love of old friends?" "Have you just found that out, Billy?" the contralto questioned. "You have helped me to find it out," said the bass and squeezed her hand under the hymn book. And under the hymn book of the soprano the hands of the two young lov ers met. "The beautiful part is that you told me in church," said the soprano, with her blue eyes lighted with divine fire. "Yes, that is the beautiful part, said the tenor as, regardless of the contralto and the bass, he kissed her beneath, the green baize curtain. A Plea For Enlisting. No man who will look carefully into the work of the army or of tho navy can fail to realize that a career in cither branch of our military service is one to which, any man may give himself with the fullest devotion and with the highest ideals. Americans as a rule, know little about the actual work of either of these services, and few realize that wb?n a man enters the service of the army or of the navy, whether as officer or enlisted man, he enters a great school, a school in which is taught not only the discipline of self restraint, of cleanliness, of devotion to duty, but in which are taught also the elements of an education. An enlisted man who enters a regiment of the army, barely able to read and write, comes out, if he be a man of ambition and Industry, at the end of three years in possession of the fundamentals of an English education. His officer stands to him not only in the relation of military director, but in the relation also of a teacher and a friend. There is no career open to an American boy, unless it be that of a teacher, which offers a larger opportunity than that of the army or navy officer to minister to the service of men. Presi dent II. S. Pritchett in AtlanticThe Size of the Sea Horse. The popular mistaken idea as to the size of the sea horse is a constant source of amusement to the guards at the aquarium. According to them, visitors, after looking at the big sea cow and peering into the tank where the turtles lead a placid life, next be gin to hunt around among the inhabit ants of the big floor tanks to find the sea horse. They reread, all the placards and carefully reicspect all the occu pants of the big tanks; then, failing to discover any immense fish which closely resembles a horse, they turn to a guard as a last resort. When they are directed to one of the smaller tank3 upstairs and when they learn that this supposed monster of the deep never attains a size of more than ten inches they are amazed enough. The speci mens of the sea horse at the aquarium are much below the maximum size. and when seen clinging by their curi ous prehensile tails to the different objects in the tank look more like littia chessmen than anything else.
