President Wilson has announced his engagement to Mrs. Norman Gait, a beautiful widow of Washington. Their wedding will take place the first week in December. Mrs. Wilson died fourteen months ago. War between Bulgaria. and the En- tent powers was declared last week Austro-German troops to the number of 400,000 invaded Serbia with Field ; Marshall Von Mackensen at their head and captured Belgrade. A slide in the Gaillard cut of the Panama canal will take probably ten months to dredge. One hundred ves- sels, waiting pi e through the «canal, will be- oto go to their destin- ation some other way. Reports of five of the largest bake carrying the payrolls of big ecorpor- ations in the Pittsburg district. show {that the October pay will approximate ‘$32,000,000, exceeding that of any “month for several years by at least 15 per cent. The largest preceding payroll month of recent years was October, 1911, when the aggregate for the same banks was $26,000,000. J. C. Wanamaker, of Toledo, Ohio, received full value for his money at a restaurant in that city, recently, for he found a pearl worth more than $100 dn a 26 cent dish of raw oysters. One «©f the waiters in the restaurant con- tended the pearl belonged to him, but the Toledo man refused to give it"to the waiter. Mr. Wanamaker returned to Toledo with the pearl in his poss- <ession. Both Berlin and Paris claim gains for their ‘troops in the vicinity of Ta- dure, in the Champaigne region of France. The French assert that to the southeast of that town they cap- tured a German trench, while Berlin says the Germans regained a strip of territory over a front of two and one- half miles and, in addition, took sev- eral trenches to the east of Souchez. On the remainder of the front, from Belgium to the Vosges there has been heavy fighting. Enthusiasm for the “old faith” and a return to the teachings of the Ten Commandments, rather than a new ereed, was urged Saturday, at the Pittsburg conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, meeting in Christ Church, Pittsburg, by Rev.Dr. Franklin Hamilton, chancellor of the American university in Washington. Song and Story... .. Profit and Loss. Working and hoarding as years go past, Searching for riches that will not last Laying up treasure our time we spend. What will it profit us in the end? Striving to save just a little more, Only to add to our earthly store, + Working from morn till the shadows Yat, wilt it profit us after all? ‘Nothing is carried beyond the grave, Nothing of all that we toiled to save. Slave for the world and we pay the . Cost— Profits for us in the end are lost. Riches are held to the owner’s loss "Netting him nought in return but dross. Happy the man, aye, wise is he, Whose profits wait in eternity! B. W. Lutke, St. Louis. A Rhyming Housewife. They have a woman in Toledo, it is said who canot speak without rhym- ‘ing. In all of her conversation about the house, even in her orders to her ‘servants, she uses poetry as a vehi: cle. The rhyming mania seized ‘her after a severe fit of illness, and now she cannot get rid of it. The effect of this when she is attending to the or- dinary duties of the household must often be remdrkdble. 1t"1s, We suppose ‘somewhat ‘like ‘this: “It would give, Matilda, enormous re lief, If you'd cook those potatoes and : beans With the beef.” Or this— “Mary Jane, go right up stairs and sweep and make my bed, And do it quickly, too, d’you hear, Or else I'll punch your head.

C. T. U. by M. Clyde Kelly, of Pitts burg, who said that Penrose wonld not have been re-elected to the senate had the church members voted the way %hey pray. He said that there are 600,000 church members in this séate, and last fall one-half of these went to the polls and threw their votes to Penrose and his liquor ticket. Efghteen thousand liquor dealers -of the United States, the speaker “de- clared, control 8,000,000 citizens. These Tiquor dealers, the speaker said are waiiits compared to the church members who do not vote as they pray. Not less than $100,000 and probab- ly more—possibly ‘as much as’ $1,000- 000—is given ‘as the amount of loot secured by ‘bandits who held up Bal timore & Ohio train No. 1 at Central Station, W.
