Williamson, of Iiqaa, were on their way ip Belle-fontalne to hunt up an pnoampmeut ground for some old soldier reunion or either.

I arrived in Pittsburgh that even-ng shortly after six oclock, and soon found Ollie Jamison, who had arrived from Mansfield but a quarter of an hour before. Together we took the train for Philadelphia on Thursday morning, and were unable to find seats in the Pullman ear sxeept in the smoking room at the end. This was all very well until the entrance of a typical cigarette dude, who puffed with perfect safety at the' end of a thing that would have kiled a regular man. By the kray, this little animal, the dude, really must be ubiquitous. He has gotten all the way down here, in Sonoe manner.

I think his sister name along to taka care of him. He Insists upon appearing at the most unexpected times, and he invariably has one of his especially vile oigarettes In his month. The ride over the Alleghany Mountains waa full of interest to me, since it was my first Of special beauty Is the scenery in the neighborhood of Horse Shoe Bend. When we reached Bryn Mawr, where is located Pennsylvania's most celebrated college, I was standing on the platform conversing with a gentleman, so well dressed that I gave him credit for knowing better than to say, as he pointed to the college buildings in the distance, "That Harvard College over there." "How's, that?" I asked, surprlsed-ly, and thinking ho had merely made a mistake, you dont mean Harvard, do you?" He gave me a patronising glance, as If In pity at my ignorance am said, "Why yes, Harvard College, of course, the college that had the big boat race with Yale a few weeks ago." The cigarette dnde and the wall dressed man were only forerunners of people ws were going to meet and see that don't seem to know any more than the law allows. My native State, Ohio, is.

still geo enough for me. I believe one son she has such big lnsane.asylums at Dayton, Coiambus, Tolede, is that she looks her people up er for a lack of sense than the States this way do, and, ltlsvety doubtful if she is too hasty in the matter. Why, the haekman that brought us from the depot drove all over the city hunting the Oeean Villa Hotel, and only fohnd it by dint of muoh inquiry. located but three blocks fronthe depot and four from the beacb-viwaa excusing him in my mial' that he was some popr country man who had lately eome to town to seek an employment more profitable than farming, -bat, as ws were alighting in front of the long ipught hotel, he aid, in long Jersey accents, Waal Amrtr, Fvs bln in the blsnls these five year, an' Fll sweow, if I ever made tech a mistake as I asked a newsboy, selling Atlantic City papers on the beach, how many daily newspapers there were in the eity, and he said he was not sure but ho thought about 8,000. This would certainly show mueh enterprise, and make the sale of printing presses good, but It would certainly be competition without muoli life.

I finally found out from the boy, that there was but one paper published here, the Dally by giving him an object lesson something like this: "You don't mean boy eouldnt be 8,000 dally 'papers in one eity. Your paper has a circulation of 8,000 and the one down street "But there aint none down street." "Well, up street, or across the street; or "But this is ell the paper there Is here." This was what I wanted, and so allowed the boy to pursue his way unharmed. The "Board Walk," so called, is a great institution here. It is a wide wooden promenade, fully three miles long, stretching along the bgaeh. Beginning at the "Inlet," or landing where there are two big beer gardens, it leads off to the southeast and ends up with another beer garden.

Giving full credit to the many duties of the mother and housewife, the article yet insisted upon the claims whinh the branch, societies make on each member of the ehurch. The report of the Womens Home Missionary Society was given by the secretary, Mra Frank The interests of the home work were ably sustained and its field of usefulness was shown to be as broad and urgent as that of the older society. Amerioa is the day star of all the nations, bnt the church with its missions must prevent It from becoming Paganized or Romanized Woman has wielded a great influence in Christianity of all times and a warm exhortation was given to the sisters to rise to the fullness of their present opportunity.
