"No," gasped the Methodist preacher, "that can't be true." "Nevertheless, that's true," said the Baptist. "O, no," said the Methodist preacher, recovering himself; "no, that can't be true. Why, to be a Baptist you have to be totally immersed, haven't yon¥" "Certainly," said the Baptist. "Well, then, it can't be true," said the Methodist. "Do you suppose that Mr. Bryan would consent to disappear from the popular view that long?" Whitefltih Kay Excursion. Sunday August 12. Round trip only #1.50.

R'v. ----• Generally -- The young live in the future; the old in the past. A man resembles a wolf; he can change his coat, but not his disposition. The man who refuses to take his home paper hasn't as much public pride as a knat has breath. Love may be blind, but the girl's lit­ tle brother siees things. The true pessimist would rather be wrong than happy. Were it not for the dentist, many a long-felt want would remain unfilled. Don't worry today if you can put it off until tomorrow. Formula for Shampooing. Melt a cake of pure olive oil soap in a quart of boiling water. When the soap is dissolved the resvflt will be almost a jelly. Take of this jelly, say two large tablespoonfuls and a small lump of common washing soda about the size of a filbert. First wet the hair thorough­ ly with hot water, then rub the sham­ poo mixture well into the roots. Rinse thoroughly in several waters. JOHNSBURG H. We have received a correspondence from Johnsburg too late for this issue but it will appear next week. W. A. Brady's splendid production of the New England play "Way Down East" will be the opening attraction at McVjckers Theatre, Chicago beginning a limited engagement there Saturday night, Aug. lb. The play will be given with all of the elaborate and beautiful scenery and , effects as used during the run of seven months just completed at the New York Acadamy of Music. The same fine company as that seen during the wonderfully success­ ful New York engagement will play at MeVicker's and in all respects the pro­ duction will be identical with that made famous in the eastern metropilis. The play deals with New England farm life and unfolds a story the pathos and humor of which are exquisitely brought out by the author, Lottie Blair Parker. The incidents of farm life are amusing­ ly set forth and the presence of herds of sheep, cows and horses together with the old Chaises and gigs used by the New Englanders make "Way Down East" almost unique in stage annals. These accessories are a means to an end in this production, not the end itself. One of the most wonderful features ol the play is a terrific snow storm which sets in during the third act and into which the heroine, Anna Moore, is driven by the irate Squire Bartlett. This^ scene is so realistic that people shiver in their seats and their sympathy goes out to the persecuted woman. Since its original production three seas sons ago "Way Dowpi East" has been elaborated and re-written in part by Joseph R. Grismer, to whose inventive genius the fine snow effect is. due. Mr. Grismer understands the use and power of every turn in stage mechanism and has this play. Mr. Brady has provided the superb mounting and the splendid company which numbers among its members Pheobe Davies, who has played the part of Anna Moore over a thousand times; Odell Williams, Ella Hugh Wood, Mabel Strickland, Georgt Backus, Felix Haney, Edwin Hoff, Sarah Stevens, Will T. Ellwanger, Frank Bell, and twenty other especially engaged actors. Want Column.

The busy merchant takes up his daily paper, reads the scare heads, and then throws |t down to sell a customer a pound of nails or a plug of tobacco. The farmer or mechanic takes his paper home and after the evening lamp is lighted, the whole family study the paper as if it were a school book. The result is that the country boy of eight­ een knows more about politics, science, histoiy and literature than the average man of middle age; and the country girl has more general useful information than her city sister will ever have if she lives to the age of Methuselah.-- Dixon Telegraph.

The possibilities of the "animal story" are remarkably well shown by Mr W. A. Fraser in his new tales, entitled Mooswa of the Boundaries. These are stories of Rod, the Boy. and the fur- bearing animals of the Northwest and the halfifbreed trappers who hunt them. Each of the tales teems with curioi^ bits of wood-lore and little-knowiu fact!- about the moose, beaver, bear, lynx, fox and wolf. Mr. Arthur Heming, who has illus­ trated the stories, is a sportsmau and naturalist, as well as an artist. The first of the Mooswa stories will appear in the Saturday Evening Post oi September 1.
