' Husbands want to be very careful
how their wives talk, since a Min
nesota judge has recently decided that
a husband is responsible for the slan
ders his wife utters. That judge is
evidently under the conviction that in
marriage there are " two minds with
but a single thought and two hearts
that beat as one." However, we have
known cases outside of Minnesota
where that kind of poetry will not
stand the test of experience.

It is not pleasant to print dunning
notices in the paper, and we avoid it
as much as possible, but when an ex
amination of our books shows that
that there is a large amount outstand
ing that is needed in our business,
the necessity of calling attention to it
is forced upon us. The times are hard,
and for that reason we have been just
as lenient as possible, but expenses
are heavy, and when money does not
come in fast enough to pay them, we
must ask for what is due. All sub
scribers who owe for a year or more
will please settle before April 1st.
Statements of the amount due will be
sent through the paper to those who
are in arrears, and prompt payment is
requested tf.

A YOUNG COMPOSITOR.
The following is the work of the
nine-year-old son of the editor, both
as to composition and type setting.
It is printed just as he set it up, with
out any corrections, and without as
sistance from the compositors.
Gyp.
Gyp is a pug dog and full of mis
chief.
We keep an
old shoe for him to
he has the toe all
play with, and
chewed off.
If his shoe gets mixed with other
shoes he will pick it out and bite it.
Gyp thinks he is a gentleman be
cause he chews chewing gum.
I guess there is about one thing in
a hundred that he won t eat.
He will play hide and seek as good
as anybody, Mamma holds him on
her lap while I hide and when I
am ready he goes all over the
house for me.
He has a long rope that he likes,
and when I tell him to find his
rope he will go and bring it back.
I made up a verse about him and
here it is.
Gyp is a pug,
Make no mistake,
His hair comes off,
But his legs don't break.
But when he takes,
His little bath,
His little head,
Just fills with wrath.
He tears the slipper
Right in two,
And coughs just like;
A kangaroo.

Evangelical Conference at Newberry
SEVENTEEN APPOINTMENTS MADE.
REV. J. YOUNG WILL REMAIN AS PRE
SIDINO ELDER OF THE WILLIAMSPORT
DISTRICT, AND REV. RtARICK OF THE
YORK.
During the closing proceedings of
this interesting conference strong and
appropriate resolutions were adopted
looking toward the abridgement of
past troubles and toward a heroic ad
vancement all along the line of church
work proper. Some of the resolu
Hons are so far in the vanguard of
moral advancement as to attack and
denounce the use of tobacco which
is apt to fit up to the clergy about as
close as it does to the laity.
Among the new features was the
organization of a Layman's Associa
tion and the adoption of governing
by-laws and a constitution. It was
ascertained that there are about 4,800
laymen in this conference.
Saturday afternoon the committee
on church affairs reported that the
matter of the Waller parsonage was
referred to the people of the church
for adjudication.
A resolution to create a building
and loan fund, into which all the funds
now in the hands of the conference
will be placed, was passed.
Adamsville church, in York county,
and Centre Hall church and parson
age, in Centre county, and the Co
burn church, were excepted from the
list of church property which have
been sold.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Resolved, That in case the litiga
tion committee should see proper to
sell church properties, including par
sonages, during the ensuing year, this
conference hereby ratifies such sales
and consents to the same;
The conference adjourned to meet
at such a place as the bishop and pre
siding eiders may direct, to meet the
first Thursday of next March

dination sermon in the morning and
