REV, F, WESTHAFER WRITES A HISTORY Narrates How Family Came to America and Founded Moravian Churches.
MILTON, Ind., Dec. 12. The Rev. Francis Marion Westhafer, pastor of the M. E. church, is preparing a family history or genealogical record of the Westhafer family. The book will not be put on the market, nor is the Rev. Mr. Westhafer receiving remuneration for his work. He is having the book published at Lititz, Pennsylvania, and only a limited number of copies will be printed and these only for the members of the family that have subscribed for copies. The book begins with the traditions respecting the origin of the name. It tells of the Palatine Exodus 1710-35 from Germany to escape religious prosecutions; of Valentine Westhafer, who was one of the Christians who went to Lount Zinzindorf for protection and of his voyage to America with other Palatines. The voyage was of six weeks' duration and nearly all of the passengers, including Westhafer's wife and child died, because of hunger and thirst. After the remainder landed, Westhafer married a Palantlne girl, and Mr. and Mrs. Westhafer were instrumental In establishing the Moravian church at Mode Creek, and later at Lititz, Pa. The Rev. Mr. Westhafer, of Milton, has searched for facts and has gathered all the historical data that will make the book attractive to the family.

SEALETTE COAT WITH PERSIA FUR. Until this season imitation fur coats have never deceived the initiated, but this year the manufacturers have put upon the market a material that re sembles fur so nearly that it takes an expert to distinguish it from actual pelt. Sealette Is one of the cleverest of the new Imitations, and it has the deep brown color with silvery glints when the pile of the plush is pushed the wrong way which Is a characteristic of sealskin. When the sealette is smartly made up and trimmed handsomely it is a charming wrap, which may be purchased at a comparatively small cost.

This Advice Is Given by Expert on Optical Illusion. How black clothes deceive the eye. often to the advantage of the wearer, was explained by Professor Stirling, P. R. S., In a lecture upon "Optical Illusions." "My advice to a lady or gentleman suffering from excessive rotundity," said Professor Stirling, "is to stick severly to black. Light clothing adds considerably to one's apparent bulk." He demonstrated the point by exhibiting simultaneously white figures on a black ground and black figures on a white ground. Although all the figures were the same size, those in white upon black appeared to have much greater dimensions. Working upon this illusion. Professor Stirling suggested that notices printed in a limited space in white upon black were more emphatic than the ordinary black upon white.
An appeal was made to the board of works by Superintendent Johnson of the municipal light plant that a W. U. T. clock be installed in the Main street office of the plant. According to Mr. Johnson it would be a great help to school children in getting to school on time.

AN ACQUIRED TASTE.
THE PASTOR SPRINTED. He Made a Good Run In Reoord Time With Plenty of Raaon. One of the traditional stories of the town of Fairfield, Conn., recounts a wild dash from the pulpit made by a worthy and beloved pastor of the Episcopal flock. Dr. Labaree. It was on a Sunday more than a hundred years ago. The service had been read, the prayers said, the hymns snng, and the parson began his sermon. As he proceeded his gestures became very energetic. He brought his right hand down with great force. Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit stairs at a bound, dashed out of the church door and ran toward the pond a short distance away. The congregaUon followed in bewildered pursuit and saw their venerable pastor with flying robe rush into the water until it came to his neck. Then, turning round, he faced his astonished audience and said: "Dearly beloved brethren. I am not crazy, as no doubt many of you think, but yesterday at the drug store I bought a bottle of nitric acid and carelessly left it In my pocket today. "My last gesture broke the bottle. 1 knew the suffering the acid would cause when it penetrated my clothing and rushed for the water to save myself pain. He drew several piece of glass from his pocket in witness of the tale. Then be dismissed the company and hurried
What Women Are Doing. The Kansas campaign for equal suffrage will succeed if women of the rural districts have their way. The plan is for every farm woman to contribute chickens and eggs, which will be sold at public auction and the proceeds turned into the general campaign fund. The first suffrage conference of the diverse nationalities of the Austrian empire was recently held in Vienna. There were present representatives of the German suffrage committees of Vienna, Brun and Troppan; also of the Polish societies of Cracow, Leopol, Tassy, Garlitz and New Sandec and of the Slavonic women from Laibach. The women of Guthrie, Okla., have organised what is said to be the first woman's chamber of commerce in the United States. Mrs. A. M. Ellis has Just been elected mayor of Johannesburg, South Africa. She is said to have an unusual record as a successful business woman. The election of Mme. Seno Kin to the presidency of an Important bank In Tokyo marks the change which has come to the Japanese women in recent years. Pretty Girls and Plain Man. When a pretty woman marries a plain man it Is not because she pities him. A woman loves a man because of his strength. His determination appeals to her and wins her In the end. though she may not have been attracted to him In the beginning. Firmness compels a woman's admiration and respect, and that is the first stepping stone to love.
Odd Compliment That Was Paid to an English Artist. Richard Wilson, the English landscape painter, was not of a pliant disposition. Conscious of his own merits, he disdained to humble himself to those who measure men by rnnk and value them by pounds. But Wilson's friends liked him no less for his brusque manner. Goldsmith, Sterne, Wilson and Dr. Johnson were assembled at Garrick's house with a party of ladles for sup per. "We were very lively at your expense indeed, gentlemen," said Mrs. Garrlck, rallying themfor hnviug arrived late. "To punish you for not obeying our summons the ladies likened you all to plants and fruits and flowers." "Pray let us bear," said Wilson. "Doubtless I come in for a sprig of laurel." "No, sir," said the pretty, lively lady; "you are wrong." "For rue. perchance." said he. "No, sir; guess again." "Why. I am dubbed bitter enough, perhaps a crab," said he. "for that man." pointing to Garrick, "has dubbed me Sour Dick." "Guess again," said Mrs. Garrick, laughing. "Will you give It up?" "Yes. madam." "Why, then, sir, you are likened to olives. Now, will you dare to inquire further?"
"Let me see," said Wilson, with all i
eyes upon him. "Well, then, my dear, out with it! I dare." "Then know, sir," said she. rising
and courtesying most gravely. "Mr. j
Wilson is rough to the taste at first tolerable by a little longer acquaint ance and delightful at last." Ex change. CAUGHT THE BLUFFER.

De Wint's Clever Ruse That Sold One of His Paintings.
i Feter De Wint. the Ene ish and
scape painter, was accustomed each year to have a semi-private show of his pictures before sending them to the Water Color society's exhibition. On each occasions his friends frequently bought pictures, which, of course, ap peered at the public exhibition marked "Sold." Among the painter's friends was a wealthy man who wanted to appear a patron of art and at the same time keep his money. He managed this by loudly admiring the paintings already sold. He was always a bit too late to buy the pictures that pleased him most, and having seen them, as he was wont to declare, he could never content himself with less beautiful works. De Wint at last suspected the man's sincerity, and when the next show day came round he concluded to test him. After plenty of time had been allowed for De Wint's friends to make their purchases the rich man arrived. As usual, his eye soou fell on two "perfect gems ' marked "Sold." Turning to the artist, he said: "Now, De Wint, those are exactly the things I should like to possess. What a pity they are not to be had." "My dear sir," said the painter, slapping him on the back, "1 knew you would like them, so 1 put the tickets on to keep them for you." The awkwardness of the situation was only relieved when the enthusiastic admirer became the somewhat unwilling purchaser of the two "gems." Youth's Companion.
