STAINED GLASS AND WOME Latter Sometimes Desert Churche Because Colors From Windows Put Streaks on Faces. Churches whose treasures include costly stained glass windows find tha their anxieties do not end with secur ing the money to pay for the window and the artist to execute the work. "Every bit as important are the complexions of the women in near-by pews," said a minister. "I have knowr churches to lose valuable parishioners because the window at the back of side cast, an unbecoming light on a lady's face. That would have hap pened in my own church just a few days ago it we had not considered the lady's feelings and changed the de sign of the window, which was easier than changing the lady's pew or los ing her support.

The pew was 8 family Inheritance, having been handed down by will from generation to generation: therefore it was out of the question to move. At the same time she had my sympathy in her re volt against that memorial window. matter in what part of the pew she sat the glass cast a bright red -spot right on the end of her nose and yellow streaks across her cheeks and forebead. Even a handsome woman would have been less attractive under that barbaric Illumination; as my parishioner had not been particularly favored by nature those startling tints were positively deforming. Fortunately it was not too late to change the Ic war half of the window, and the lady pow sits bathed in a becoming violet glow." SWORDFISH AND BEER KEG New York Judge Tells a Lurid Tale of Adventure Off Block island.

Judge Tom Dinnean is back with his good ship Nomad after a cruise in which he had some rare adventures, says the New York World. Here's one as he tells it himself with his well known regard for veracity: "We were fifteen miles off Block island in the duskus of the day when we came on a school of salt mackerel. First thing we knew a swordfish butted in and there was a wild scramble among the mackerel. The swerdish filled up on the school and then like an overted hog took a nap on the surface of the water. My engineer used to be a New Bedford whaler and he carries a lot of old-time tackle CEL the Nomad.

He went for'ard and heaved a harpoon into the small of the swordfish's back. He had ready secured an empty beer keggot that the end of the harpoon line. Mr. Swordfish as soon as the harpoon got into him took it on the run with the beer keg trailing along. He dived and tacked and doubled on his tracks, but the keg was ever on the job.

Finally his despair and exhaustion did the trick. He gave a feeble flicker with his tail and we hauled him aboard. He was six feet two inches long and weighed four hundred pounds, and say--he was fine eating." Inclined to Be Skeptical. "What do you see?" asked the bustness man who had permitted the fortune teller to lead him into a dark room and hold his hand. "Ah, I see many wonderful things here," she replied.

"You will have good luck with the business you are going into." "What else do you see?" "You will make a great deal of money soon." "Anything more?" "You will live to be a very old man and have good health." "All right. What else?" "That is all I see." "Isn't there anything about 2, dark little lady who loves me?" "Oh, I will look again. I thought you were old enough to have a wife and family. So, you are widower?" "Yes, but I don't more than half believe you can fortell the future, after all." Powerful Cosmic Process. "Let us understand, once for all, that the ethical progress of society depends, not on imitating the cosmic process, still less in running away from it, but in combating it.

The cosmic process born with us and, to a large extent, necessary for our maintenance, is the outcome of millions of years of severe training, and it would be folly to imagine that a few centuries will suffice to subdue its masterfulness to purely ethical ends. Ethical nature may count upon having to reckon with a tenacious and powerful enemy as long as the world Friendly Offices. Friends bound the bridal pair with ropes, shackled them to their seat in the car, and covered them with placards which coarsely set forth that they were newly married. "Boys." protested the groom, at length, "this isn't fun!" But the friends did not take offense, graciously bearing in mind that where a man is so desperately in love, his' sense of humor undergoes a tempo rary suspension. Minds Mated.

"I can tell you one thing." said Taw. kins with emphasis, "when I marry, it won't be any higher education' girl. My wife won't know Greek." "No," said Edgely, looking at him at tentively, "nor beans." J. B. FARRIS' Undertaker Licensed Embalmer Successor to R.
