THE SILLY LITTLE GIRL.
She is such a little girl!— Such a
pretty litlle girl!
And pasted on her forehead is a cun-
ning little curl.
And on her youthful cheek, alas!
4 like peach-blow showing taiit
Or courtesan in temple white, a little
daub of paint.
For the childish
sprightly little fool,
As dainty as a butterfly and stubborn
as a mule,
Has the idiotic notion that the stuff
that mars and harms
Will add to her attractiveness, will
multiply her charms.
ignoramus, the
She is such a little girl!—such a win-
some little girl! -
One grieves to see her captive in
MissVanity’s mad whirl.
She is ramping like a thoroughbred
all ready for the race—
A silly little filly that can never keep
the pace.
Poor little kid! She’s never learned
while striving after style
That the cheeks by Heaven painted
are the only kind worth while—
I wonder why her mother doesn’t
spank her as she ought ter!—

i CHURCH OF THE BRETH-
REN DEDICATED.
The Pike Church of the Brethren
about five’ miles west of Somerset
was dedicated on Sunday May 9, with
services beginning at tén o’clock in
the morning in charge of H. S. Rep-
| role, of Sealp Level. The church cost
about $5,000.
For many years there were
two
Churches of the Brethren in the
western part of thé county, known
as the Plank Road Church and the
Kimmell Church, erected Drobably
50 and 40 years ago respectively,
their memberships being branches of
the Middlecreek congregation. A-
bout a year ago the members of the
two branches decided to unite in the
erection of a single house of worship,
and selected a site about five miles
west of Somerset and almost midway
between the old churches which have
been sold and will be torn down by
the purchasers. The new building,
the dimensions of which are 40 by46
feet, framed and cased with brick,
was completed in the latter part of
last December, but although meet- |
ings have ben held in it since then, it
was not permanently furnished un-
til a month ago.

A Doubtful Compliment
The banquet hall was adorned with
many beautiful paintings and the
president of the little
called upon to respond to a toast.
. Wishing to pay a compliment to the
ladies present he = designated the
» Paintings with an eloquent gesture e
and said: “What need is there of:
these painted beauties when we have
80 many with us at the table?”
Cne OnBilly .... ......
Billy’ Sunday stopped a newsboy in
Philadelphia the other day and in-
quired the way to the postoffice.
“Up one block and turn to the
right,” said the boy.
“You seem a bright little boy,” said
Sunday. “Do you know who I am?”
“Nope.”
“I'm Billy Sunday, and if you come
to my meeting tonight I'll show you
the way to Heaven.”
“Aw, go on!” answered the young-
ster; you didn’t even know the way
to the postoffice.”
Repented Her Choice
*, Ashort time ago a servant living
in Yorkshire, gave notice of leaving |
her situation, informing her mistress
that she was about to'be married.
As the time drew near for leaving,
she addressed her mistress thus:
“Please, mum, have you got a girl
yet?” 9
“No, Bridget. Why do you ask?”
“Because, if you haven’t I should
like to stay.”
“Why, I thought you were going to
marry the sweep!”
“Oh, yes mum,” replied
hesitatingly. “But when I saw ’im
with ’is face washed I felt I could]
not love ’im.”—Tit-Bits,
Bridget,
A Gentle Hint
A bachelor had courted a girl for a
long time without coming to the
point. One evening in Leap Year, the
young lady being musical, he took t
her to a concert.
The orchestra played No. 6, a se-
lection that seemed to the bachelor
very beautiful. He bent his head over
his companion and whispered :
“How lovely that is! What is it. Do
you know?”
She smiled demurely and replied in
a low, thrilling voice: “It is the ‘Mai-
den’s Prayer.”
“The Maiden’s Prayer,” he re T
peated in astonishment. “Why—"
But she handed him her program,
pointing to No. 6 with her finger.
He read amd started for the real
sohn’s Wedding March.” He bought
the ring the nex. day. :
Whenever I get in a fog and can’t
see clear and so tired out I can’t eat
and plum run down, I say to myself:
“Your folks ain’t ever flunked yet,
and you just keep your head up
where the Lord put it.” He put it up.
Folks see me laugh a lot. I do. I
couldn’t learn to play on the pianer,
though I'm clean crazy about music.
I couldn’t learn none of the things I
yearned for inside, so I said to my-
self: “You learn to laugh, laugh hear-
ty:” and somehow it’s helped a lot,
laughin’ has. There’s many a time T|
