They both declare that tliev have better senso now. and thai tl. like, with them at least, shall never occur again. so tli. to cu;; scarcer,- bo rnv harm m telling all about it. When tliev went to housekeeping in a modest wuy in a fashionable street in the national capital rents were not ho hitrh us thev are now. They hud " . many friends, some of them very wealthy ones, und, as her entire lite had been snent in Washington, she felt that a chunifo from single to double blessedness would nit alter things ma terially. While the streets and her friends re mained unchanged there was a certain indefinable nomething that shaped it self presently she could not cntcrta.n as she hud been used to in her father's house: neither on such a scale, nor with such lavish hospitality. Shu fretted u little, at first nuictly, then she confided her woes to Her hus band, for she told him everything, and bo, trood fellow, took it vc.w much to heart. ISciug a lawyer without r.r.y cm'.'ul erable practice, for ho was a young Jnan in his profession, he did not see his way out of it iu that direction. Hut tho idea suddenly struck him that ho would try to tret some Uml of un of- flciul pofitlon. Thev had influential J (EsSrO 8y William AWMrrKoto,.. ' friends In thu political world, and It appeared cjulto clear builiug. Tho phm met with his wife's prompt approval and sko concluded on the spot to begin the (deft) by giving a Thanks giving dinner. Somo people might have thought it wiser to first Ret the desired position uml then give thunks, but sho looked upon it dlirerently, from the point of view of tho almanac it were. A presidential candidate had just Wm Villi!!? f ' 'M been elected and would take his Kent the following March. Tlie minister of the church they attended was also the pastor and intimate friend of his excellency-elect, and it seemed very fitting and auspicious that he, together with his wife, should be honored guests. There was, also, a certain dis tant cousirt of the successful candidate, a very pompous old lady with a ter rible predilection for her neighbor's ntViiirs, whom it was considered wise to ask, and to cntevtain her there was young Mr. de 1'ost, who led cotillons and gossip with equal facility. While Mrs. Crimm had very pretty trlass and china, in keeping with the rest of her modest establishment, it did not seem grand enough for such a distinguished and eritical company, so he borrowed her mother's service, from the silver soup tureen to the nut crackers. This plan wasreudily feasible, as her parents took dinner with an elder sis ter upon tliatday. No sooner was this arrangement completed tlmn it seemed very out of place to let ronny, the col ored maid, wait at table with such ac companying magnificence they nuht to huve u butler. They got one in the person of Fanny's father, who had come up from .Manassas .1 unction to spenu the day with his family, and that was where the trouble be;ran. He was an eminently respectable old man. and when he had potten nimseii. after much groaning Hud the assist ance of his wife, the cook, into an old dress suit of Mr. (irimm's, he looked as if he knew the proper thiny; to do, wh'eh whs fur from the case. His w ife had been doubtful from the first. "He kin drive a kcrrljre Jest lovely, "Miss" Maria." she said, "but he doun know nuthin' 'bout waitin.'" "Hut l'anny can drill him," "Miss Maria had said, airily, as she set out to Thanksoivintf services in company with her husband. Fanny, dressed in a new pown and with 11 hupe white cap on her very black head, admitted the quests with a prnvity of countenance that would have befitted a servitor of fifty years. Fanny hail woeful misgivings. Jupiter, her father, had not proven a very apt pupil. He asked atany strange ques tions after he had insisted that he un derstood everything. The butler'a pantry was too small to hold them both "or she would have remained by her parent durinir the ordeal; but she stationed herself at the foot of the dumb waiter to admonish in statro whi pcrs if iKce-ary. Jupiter wiped the perspiration from his brow with a red bundanna and car nt that he put his thumb In Mr. do i..tv tnim mid then wined it dry with bis bandanna, that portion of the ban iuet progressed favorably. Jiut when the raw oysters were served he took u plate of macaroons from tho side board, and, doubtless mistaking them lor a new variety of crackers, gravely olfc-rcd ihem. The hostess flushed vio lently aud tried to distract attention f-om her husband who, though he said nljr a few words to Jupiter, had looked such unuttcrubli. things us to cause ml w .K'PITKlt CAHISIKJI IS T11K SOI I'. tied the silver tureen. With the iuii that he put his thumb In Mr. do him to drop the dish on the sideboard with a biuiLT. Presently he barely grazed the minister's head with tie turkey platter. Feeling that energy might compensate for the vacuity ex istingin his min !. Jupiter proceeded to ply every one with the dishes on the table. Suited ulnionds and bonbons careered about tho board with light ning rapidity. He even grasped the macaroons again, but a sudden mis tru' t seemed to seize him and he dropped the dish. lie was breathing heavily and each moment his unwonted apparel seemed to grow smaller for him. The hostess strove bravely to appear as if this was a daily occurrence in every well regulated household, and that a stream of gravy extending across the cloth and down a breadth of her best pown was merely an adjunct of Thanksgiving. The host forgot all the speeches he had Intended to make iu praise of the president-elect and all the subtle antennae of diplomacy that he was going to put forth to the minister by way of starting affairs. He could only feci rather than see, for he scarce dared look up. That Mr. de Post and the executive-elect's cousin were stor ing a fund of anecdote that would re gale many a dinner table he had caught sulliclent of their exchange of glances to rest assured of. As for the minister, his kindness of heart was as proverbial as was his sense rf humor. If he laughed rather more heartily at his own stories than was his wont both host and hostess were thankful to him for diverting some sm;.ll degree of attention fr jiu J upiter's aimless and comical gyrations. "Jupiter, you have not served the tomatoes." said Mrs. (irimm. Mr. (irimm felt tho perspiration start out on the back of his neck: lie was wondering what new catastrophe was in store. As for Jupiter, he smiled blandly. Hero nt least was something he could engi neer. "Tomuttuses," he ordered of Funny. A great whispering ensued, then came a pounding on the dunib- -v i M 'I 1 I', K WW "SKXD t'l THKM TOM ATTl'SKS. waiter that set all the glasses and crockery on the pantry shelves to jingling In unison. A family altercation was in ener getic progress. The guests looked tit each oilier and the hostess tried to chatter it down. Hut no one human throat was powerful enough for that. "Send up them tomuttuses." "I tell you they ain't none." "They is, 'Miss' Maria says they is." "I tell you they ain't, you olc blank f ml you," the vok'o was that of the cook. "I dun lergot to open 'em, I dun tell you. If J ou doun b'lieve me use your own eyes, you ole country niggah in Maw's Juwn's pahty close, w lookin' like a scarecrow in a eawn tlel'. Now look'." The waiter came up with a bang. All was still. 'Jupiter was doubtless "looking." Presently the guests looked too.

Thero hud Vieen a swish of skirts on the stairs. Fanny darted across tho room, p.-.:,ho.l f f her surprised parent into the pantry and turned the key. With an air of elaborate indifference as though noth ing had happened to mar the oe cosion. she removed tho plates and the dinner progressed. From the; depths of the pantry could bo heard the wailing of Jupiter: "If I hain't wait I'm pow'ful at ilrlvin", an' it ain't no ei-t lily use a tryin' to upeuh what you ain't.

Mr. Crimm looked at his wife and she in turn looked at htm. Itetween them extended a massive epergne of silver w eighted with fruit and flowers; tall candelabra and dainty bon-bon dishes, strangely out of keeping with the furniture anil the tiny dining-room. There w as a look In bis eyes that light ened tilings, though, and the verge of tearfulness was banished, iter, how ever, when the guests were gone and she hud had a good cry iu his arms, she said: "John, Jupiter was right. We huve no business trying to appear what we ore not. and whether we get the posit ion or whether we're never 0 cent richer, I've that, good lesson to be thankful for to-day and for the rest of my life." DESTROYED BY FIRE. Saturday morning about one o'clock and alarm of fire was sounded, and it was soon located at the planing mill of Charles Krug, situated below the 1). I., cc W. railroad and fronting on Seventh street. When discovered the fire had already spread over a large portion of the building, which being frame with tin roof, burned rapidly. When the fire companies arrived they could do nothing toward saving the building, as it was already nearly de stroyed, and the flames spread to the office and hardware room and .agricul tural building of H. V White & Co. The firemen directed their attention to the grain elevator and mill and storage room of H. V. White & Co. The roof being shirgle soon caught fire, as well as the sides of the build but by diligent eft'orts the building was saved, but the water played havoc with the contents, of wheat, flour, meals and fertilizers. Charles Krug's was a total loss of about $6000, with out any insurance. H. V. White & Co. lost in their office, hardware, agri cultural implements, about $2,000. In tlieir grain house the wheat, about 3000 bushels, and rye, about 500 bushels, was completely soaked, as well also a car load of flour. About two tons of binder twine and all their sacks were destroyed. Their total loss will reach about $5,000, covered by an insurance of $2,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery. For some days past Mr. Krug had been running the mill at its full capacity on a special contract for doors, and it may be possible some journal became overheated. BUTLER-HARM AN. MissGrace.datighterot Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Harman, and Mr. Daniel Butler were martied in St. Paul's Church on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, the rector, Rev. W. C. Leverett, officiat ing.

The Lutheran Church which has undergone repairs for the last three months, was, according to announce ment, re dedicated Sunday, Novem ber 26th. From outward appearances there would seem to be 'nit little change over the former edifice, the old tower being removed and a small er one substituted ; the old style roof giving place to sheet iron roof On the old dusky paper was removed and a bright cheerful pattern substituted, the old windows and blinds removed and beautiful stained glass placed therein. Th old gallery changed and elevated seats take its place. A new large Estey organ occupies the left of the front of the church and an eleva tion made for the choir. The entire church is recarpeted with a beautiful design of Brussels carpet, new cush ions provided for all the seats, and all the wood work repainted and varnish ed. The church is wired for electric light. The interior is so changed that it appears like a new edifice, scarcely a vestige of the old remains. On the morning of dedication the altar was handsomely decked with flowers. The organist, Prof. Niles, had secured the services of the Y. M. C. A male choir, in addition to the instruments of Davis Brook, with cor net, H. O. Eshleman with clarionet, Miss Dora Niles and Mr. Stauffer with violins. The morning services began with an instrumental piece en titled "O God, Thou Art My God," followed with the usual morning ser vice, and a song by the V. M. C. A. choir. The scripture lesson was read and prayer offered by Rev. F. P. Man hart, Superintendent of Missionary Institute, Selinsgrove. The sermon was delivered by Rev. J. Yutzy, presi dent of Susquehanna Synod, who sel ected his text from Haggai, second chapter and 9th verse, as follows : "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saitli the Lord of Hosts." He briefly re ferred to the progress of the Lutheran Church in this town from its beginning and referred to what was in store for the future. He spoke of the necessity of making beauiiful temples for the worship of God, and referred to the Temple at Jerusalem when God him self himself selected the material and the ornaments with which it should be bedecked. His sermon was very in teresting and instructive. At its close Mr. D. W. Kitchen, chairman of the building committee was called upon and made a report of the expense in curred in repairing. His statement showed that the entire cost was $346:.. 75, all of which was provided for ex cept about $900. Cards were passed through the audience and the greater portion of the deficit was raised. The afternoon services began at 3 o'clock, with an instrumental selection followed by addresses from Rev. U. Meyts, Catawissa, Rev. F. P. Man hart, and pastors of the various churches of the town. These address es were followed by the dedication or re -consecration proper, which was commenced by Rev. Yutzy. president of the Synod, and concluded by Rev. P. A. Heilman, the pastor. The male choir and orchestra furnished music. The evening service was a praise service, opened by instrumental mu sic, followed with several pieces from the male choir, after which Rev. E. A. Sharretts, who was pastor of the church when the present edifice was first bui t in 185O, gave an interesting address recounting how the church was first built an., some of the difti culties. His address was followed by closing remarks of Thanksgiving, and praise from Rev. J. YuUy.and the day of re-dedication was closed. There were two handsome windows donated. The one in the rear of tne pulpit shows the face of the Saviour and the other in the front of th.' church containing an open Bible and the head of Martin Luther. New al tar furniture was given also which un fortunately did not arrive in time for the dedication. ST. PAUL'S PARISH NOTES.
