Wonders of Nature
Nature has taken more care than
the fondest parent for the education
and refinement of her children. Con-
sider the silent influence which flow-
ers exert, no less upon the dltcher in
the meadow than the lady in the
bower.
When 1 walk in the. woods I am re-
minded that a wise purveyor has been
there before me; my most delicate ex-
perience is typified there. I am struck
with the pleasing friendships and
unanimities of nature, as when the |
lichen on the trees takes the form of
their leaves. In the most stupendous
scenes you will see delicate and fra-
grant features, as slight wreaths of
vapor, dewlines, feathery sprays,
which suggest a high refinement, a
noble breeding, as it were. Bring a
spray from the wood, or a crystal
from the brook, and place it on your
mantel, and your household ornaments
will seem plebeian beside its nobler
fashion and bearing. It will wave su-
perior there, as if used to a more re-
fined and polished circle. It has a
salute and a response to all your en-
thusiasm and heroism.—Thoreau.

Curious Old Church
in Heart of London
Porters and clerks at Denmark Hill
railway station, South London, often
work to the accompaniment of hymns
sung lustlly by a congregation In a
disused walting room next to the
booking office. The Mystical Church
of the Comforter is one of London's
most curious churches. Babies are
baptized In a room that was once
only used by impatient travelers wait-
ing for their trains; funeral services
are read In It and a marriage has
been solemnized. This church has
been in existence for about six years.
One end of the former waiting room
has been transformed by an altar
painted white and surrounded by the
seven colors of the rainbow. Seven
steps lead up to the altar, and at the
side are two pillars representing
beauty and strength. Everything is
done by symbols in this remark:ble
church, and the badge worn by mem-
bers is a dove, standing In a circle
with a seven-leafed branch in its beak.
The leader and founder of the church
is a woman with the official title
of “messenger.”
Tug Carried Off Captors
In the days when enormous rafts
of logs were towed down the Detroit
river by sea-going tugs, the tug Cham:
plon was famous and had a famous
captain, says Capper’'s Weekly. The
Champion committed some infraction
of Canadlan marine laws, and, putting
into port on the Canadian side, was
seized by the authorities. Additional
bow and stern lines hitched it to the
dock and as an extra precaution two
Canadian tugs with steam up were
made fast to this splendid American
tug. The Champion’s captain proceed-
ed calmly with his coaling, then cast
off the extra lines and towed the two
Canadian tugs out to the lightship in
Lake Erle, despite their united efforts
to bold the Champion.
Rich:Gift to World
William Sturgeon, British ghoe-
maker, private soldier and sclentist,
gave to the world the electro-magnet,
one of the most important of electrical
devices, but like many other inventors,
he spent his later years in penury.
His invention is in some form or an-
other the fundamental element in the
dynamo, the electric motor, the trans-
former, nearly every telegraphic in-
strument, the telephone, the loading
coil, and the electric bell, says the
New York World. Sturgeon made the
first electro-magnet with a rod of
iron, half an inch in diameter and a
foot long, bent into the form of a
horseshoe and wound, spiral fashion,
with 18 turns of bare copper wire,
The Buttered Side
Doris already had eaten two slices
of bread, the first with butter on it,
when her instructions had been given
o “put lots of butter on, so’s itl] taste
good.” She had been even more ex-
plicit about the second slice.

“I want some bread and butter:
put some Jelly on, too, and put the
| Jelly on top.”
When Doris’ little face appeared at
| the dining room door for the third |
time her demand wus brief and to the
{ point. “lI want the butter on top this | was
| time.”

Finding a Mare’s Nest
A “mare's nest” is something which
seems wonderful upon discovery, but
which upon examination turns out to |
be unimportant or a hoax. As one
writer puts it, “to find a mare's nest
is to make what you suppose a great
discovery, but which turns out to be
all moonshine.” “Mare’s nest” is also |
applied to what is
surd although believed by the credu- |
lous. The true origin of the phrase |
“mare's nest” is unknown.—Pathfinder |

You know the more I see of some
people, the more I think that life is
like a circus, Many who think
they are the spectators are really
the clowns.

One of our local florists delivered
a beautiful bunch of flowers to a
certain woman here, saying they
were from her husband. She re-
fused to accept them. She said:
“you must have the wrong address.
I certainly know my husband bet-
ter than you do.”

Its a cinch curiosity didn’t kill all
the cats, judging from the noise I
heard the other night.
Our office devil would like to
know if a fellow kissed a girl in the
rain—would it be a wet smack.
I heard a Market street woman
remark to her neighbor: “Every-
time I walk my cheap stockings
run.”
Here's another funny crack. In
speaking of a newly married couple
a certain woman said: “They ought
to get along. He neither smokes,
drinks or gambles.”
Just then the gabby neighbor
said: “But she does.”
Some fellow asked a bunch of
hunters why they don’t take their
wives along to the Mountains. One
of them replied: “You never take
sandwiches to a banquet do you?”
You know I'd like to go to church
once in a while but I think they are
getting so strict. I just heard that
a fellow died while listening to a
sermon and they propped him up
until the preacher was through.
Of course I don’t want to infer
that the sermon killed him, but—.

You know my idea of a broad
educated man is a good professor
just run over by the boro’s steam
roller.
Was talking to a lady about bird
dogs. I told her there are two
kinds, pointers and setters. Then
she said: “Would a cross between
the two be called a poinsetta?”
Guess mebby that ain't some
wise crack—and I didn’t get that
out of a book either.

I fear I'll be compelled to get
these items copyrighted—was down
at the Colonial some time ago and
saw that they use a lot of ’em on
the screen in “Topics of the Day.”

We certainly had a big run on
both our banks here Monday morn-
ing. The Chickies creek had over-
flowed from Sunday night’s rain.
“Hoddy” Mumma told a customer
vesterday that the proof of the Bul-
letin is in the waste paper basket.

I see there was a big robbery at
a dance hall near Middletown re-
cently. The thieves stole a lot of
bucks.
Soldiers must be a very dishonest
bunch. They tell me there is scar-
cely a night ‘that a sentry is not re-
lieved of his watch.

Even a good look at that woman

that he does.

If all the fords in the world could

Snyder’s white vest.

Mrs. Johnson said: “But honey

She replied: “Ain’t we half Sis-
