eight Persons.
What is declared to be the smallest
church in America having a perma-
nent pastor and conducting regular
jervices has been dedicated. It is St.
Jean's Methodist church, with a con.
gregation of 50 French o« mmunicants,
writes a Manchester (MN. Y.) corre.
spondent. The pastor is Rev. BE. J
Palisoul, whose efforts led to the ex.
posure and sentence to death of Osear
J. Comery for the murder of his wife
about a year ago. Mr Palisoul took
up the case aftor the police had
dropped it, and, assisted by Mrs. Alice
B. Montgomery, secs tary of the New
Hampshire Children's Aid and Protec
tive socioty, insisted on further action
and got ft When the authorities
learned of Mrs. Montgomery's interest
in the case she was notified that “we
are handling the case and your efforts
won't be necessary.”
Comery poisoned his wife when he
found that Eunice Campbell, a high-
school girl, with whom he had been
intimate, was about to give birth to a
child. He is now awaiting execution.
He is the first murderer to be con
demned to the gallows In New Hamp
shire in more than thirty years.
Bt. Jean's church society met for a
number of years in the vestry of St.
Paul's Methodist church. Then the
leaders decided to have a home of
their own, and they built the present
diminutive structure. The main au
ditorium is 18 by 28 feet, with seats
for about seventy persons. In a tiny
gallery are seats for 28 more. In the
basement there is a miniature heating
Apparatus, a small kitchen and a lava
tory.

Advice for Husbands.
Most words of wisdom that fall from
the pens of experts on the subject of
love are written for women. Appar
ently these little sermons are written
with the idea that only man's love is
worth keeping and that woman's ean
not possibly last,
We are told that man must never be
bored by trifling domesticities. but in.
stead be encouraged to talk about his
and so on. Why should it
be addressed to one sex only?
Why not gay to hushands: Remem-
ber that women are women and that
their great need is for love. Love is
their vocation, the thing they do best,
their greatest need In life. Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly to the husband's tgle of routing
of a commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences of the day?

Wedding Cake of Ancient Origin,
The wedding cake is of ancient!
origin. In its earliest form it was noth-

or barley. Half of this was eaten by
the bride and half by the bridegroom,
as a token that they were joined to-
gether for life. The wedding ring. a
symbol of everlasting love, is derived
from a heathen source. The giving of
an engagement ring also dates back
many centuries, for in the time of the

Newspaper Correspondents Experd
ence With Japanese Chauffeur
When He Sought Headgear,
In his eagerness to see a whale dan
ing the voyage between Honolulu and
the island of Hawaii, Mr. Homer Croy,
who tells about his adventure in Trav-
el, leaned too far over the rail, and
lost his hat
After arriving at the island he
climbed into a taxicab and told the
driver to take him to a hat store. “Do
you understand?” he asked. “A hat
store.”
“Yes, for sure, all right,” the Japa
nese chauffeur answered.
They went bumping up the street,
swung wildly round a corner. and
finally at the far side of the town drew
up to the curbing. In the window of
the store was a bedstead on which
hung the sign, “This week cheap.”
“What do you mean by taking me to
& furniture store?” Mr. Croy de
manded.
“Dis Hata store.” replied the Japs-
nese driver, and he pointed to the
name of the proprietor, “K. Hata”
“lI want a hat, not a bed.” Mr. Croy
said with feeling. “I want it for this"
pointing to his bare head.
“Yes, for sure, all right.”
With that the cab whirled down the
street and away to the other side of
the town, while the taxi bill Was mer-
rily running up. This time it stopped
before a barber shop.
“No, I don't want anything taken off
my head. I want something put on
it,” declared Mr. Croy, who was now
quite irritated.
“Yes, for sure: I understand all
right.” replied the chauffeur, with a
grin.
They went clattering just as far to
the other side of the town as they
could, and drew up before a store that
&8 an afterthought apparently carried
& line of hats. Mr. Croy had to pay
twice the price of a hat on the way
to buy it, but this did not seem to
worry the driver, who, after the man.
ner of automobile drivers, stood up
under it bravely.
